"Well, see we're this group, right? A group of gamers. We really like games and I think that games were what got me to thinking about creating a site for games in the first place. So we made a site, a forum if you will, for people to talk about games. A site for people TO TALK ABOUT GAMES. It really was a great idea and I was happy to be a part of it. Well, there you have it: THE STORY OF NEOGAF."

Hey guys, I know everyone thinks GamePro is the worst gaming magazine ever created, but it's actually a really awesome magazine now, and it has nothing to do with the GAF article, seriously!

etiolate · « **Reply #4086 on:** February 18, 2010, 11:48:54 PM »

The gaming press legitimizing GAF is unhealthy for the medium. The only legitimate article to be had there is perhaps plotting the change of the industry through the site's history. How it went from a little hole where news and rumors broke first, until the press started realizing that and began lurking there, so the mods clamped down on rumors and all the reasons for the gaming forum being relevant began to disappear. It became the best source during e3 because you had the gaming media and the non-media able to post impressions and pictures all in one place. It was a resource, not an entirely reliable one, but that was its strength. By being a bit pirate radio, it got out the info the rest were holding back. Internet personalities and memes are a dime a dozen, but the access to news and rumors was unique in its quantity and strange accuracy. GAF was C&D'd into GameFaqs.

Why did Evilore or someone else ban that poor guy? I mean how can you feel dissed if your site is getting an article in the press? Do you really feel the need then to ban some guy?
Dud, Evilore doesn't give a shit. He just doesn't. He's a backstabbing fucker than only hurts the community he runs. He's like the Bobby Kotick of Internet forums.

Bitter much?

Didn't GamePro go through a huge restructuring recently though? By a lot of accounts it's actually pretty decent reading now.

Final Canadian WWI veteran dies

The last Canadian veteran of World War I has died at the age of 109.

John Babcock enlisted at the age of 15 after lying about his age. He trained in Canada and England but the war ended before he reached the French frontline.

Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper said Mr Babcock was Canada's last living link to the Great War.

Just two other veterans of World War I remain alive: American Frank Buckles, also aged 109, and British-born Australian Claude Choules, who is 108.

Mr Harper, paying tribute to the 650,000 Canadian men and women who served during WW1, said: "Today they are all gone.

"Canada mourns the passing of the generation that asserted our independence on the world stage and established our international reputation as an unwavering champion of freedom, democracy, human rights and the rule of law."

I wanted to go to France because I was just a tin soldier
John Babcock
Speaking in 2007

Who are the last WWI veterans?

John Babcock was born on July 23, 1900 on a farm in Ontario.

In February 1916, at the age of 15, he signed up and the medical examiner recorded his "apparent age" as 18, which meant he was allowed to train.

Despite being under the legal age to fight, which was 19, he persisted in his attempts to get to the front line.

He lied about his age again, and sailed to Britain with the Royal Canadian Regiment. There, conscripts under the legal age of 19 formed the Young Soldiers' Battalion to train until they were eligible to fight.

But he never saw action as the armistice was signed six months before he reached his 19th birthday.

"I wanted to go to France because I was just a tin soldier," Mr Babcock said in an interview with the Canadian Press in July 2007.

Second attempt

In October 1918, after a brawl between Canadian soldiers and British Army veterans in Wales over a dancehall incident, Mr Babcock was sentenced to 14 days house arrest, the Canadian Press reported.

Before the fortnight was over, the armistice had been signed and he was on his way home.

He moved to the US in the 1920s, serving in the United States Army between 1921 and 1924 before becoming an electrician.

He died in Spokane, Washington, where he had lived since 1932, according to a statement from Mr Harper.

Mr Babcock tried to enlist in the US military again in 1941 but failed when it was discovered he had never become a US citizen.

He was naturalised as a US citizen in 1946.

Lil Wayne just had one of the gnarliest oral surgeries in the history of dentistry. We're told it was a marathon session that included a stomach-turning eight root canals at one time.

Our sources say Wayne went under the drill on Tuesday.

We're told during the eight hour procedure, Wayne had his grill worked on, several tooth implants redone, more implants added and had the few real teeth he had left repaired.

This is the critical dental surgery that kept Wayne from being shipped off to the big house last week.

The judge allowed the rapper to put his sentence for felony attempted gun possession on hold until March 2 -- enough time for Wayne to get his mouth prison-ready.

If that's even possible.

I'll have to ask my dad, but iirc his practice charges like $500-800 for a root canal.

To be fair, the guy apparently rushed to member status in the last month by spamming the Sonic thread with shitty posts. So individually the guy probably doesn't deserve to be defended, but overall gaf really does have a problem with equating junior members with being sub-human (mostly because its inherent in the term itself).

Its when the junior member actually has a decent point and he/she get derided by the senior members who state their status of being juniors to discredit them
