Undertaker is still around? I swear I remember that dude from the 90s.

I am indeed legitimately shaken by this information.


Last night Undertaker, Kane, Triple H, and the New Age Outlaws had matches at Wrestlemania. All of these are names I remember from watching in the 90s, some of them are names I remember as guys who should have hanged it up before I stopped watching in the 90s. Today though? Couldn't be happier to have seen Kane wrestling in slacks, or Billy Gunn with the worst 50 year old white guy corn rows you could ever imagine.

edit: Oh, right, also Hulk Hogan was in ring to introduce the whole thing and forgot where he was and maybe what century it is, and Jim Duggan, Ted DiBiase, Roddy Piper, and Paul Orndorff made appearances in skits backstage. It was surreal.
 
personally as far as melt down goes I think the 06 FFXIII on 360 is one of the biggest one, at least most famous in term of how wide that whole "I'm an expert" meme went. Crow Eating wise I seem to remember the most recent seems to be the 13 Sony PS4 announcement with the RAM size and size.

And the biggest graveyards I can remember :

Epic Mickey
Kayo Police

I know a little about the Mickey thing but what's the Kayo Police incident about? (I know who she is).
 
Heath Ledger as the Joker
Not on GAF (didn't even know this forum existed at the time) but i still have 2 bookmarks from 2 other forums from when i praised Ledger when he was announced and i called his award win before everyone jumped on the bandwagon. But to be fair i was also a big Ledger fan before he was even announced to play Joker and Brokeback was my movie of the year so i never once doubted his acting chops and i had complete faith in nolan.

To this day i still feel great about making that call because i don't think i have been right about anything else since. Although i have stated on Twitter multiple times when Ben was announced for Batman that he would make for a phenomenal Bruce Wayne and that's all that matters because anyone can play batman, it's playing bruce is what sells it IMO. So i might end up eating crow on that. I guess i kind of ate crow on Man of Steel? I have done nothing but shit on the new TMNT movie so i might end up eating crow there as well.

I think you'll be safe! But, then again we might be dinning together.

I was ok with Ledger when announced for basically the same reasons, I knew he could act, Batman Begins was amazing, this could go no wrong except maybe for his physical presence, I couldn't like a Joker that was buff, but I guessed they were going to make it work. However, the movie dissapointed me and is the Joker I like the least of all its presentations, comic, movie or animation. I remember reading how it was going to be more about "the eyes" than the laugh and a whole bunch of nonsense that really never made it to the film. It's not a terrible acting job but is highly overrated.
 
Adam Orth's #dealwithit Tweets. Less of a megaton, more of a snowball of rolling internet thunder. That shit really blew up and started the whole anti-DRM movement.
 
when segata sanshiro left, he too a peace of my heart with him, he was always cool to see on the forum. awesome avatar too
 
He lost all the time. Its just that he never lost at WrestleMania. Its a big deal because wrestling isn't real and it essentially means the guy playing him is probably retiring. If he was really a 50 year old dude shoot wrestling, no shit everyone would have expected him to lose. But he's just an actor playing a character who isn't active in the promotion anymore and only appears just to defend his "streak" at that event. There's no reason to expect he'd lose because the actor doesn't HAVE to actually appear at the event if he doesn't want to lose.

Ah, I stand corrected.
 
For OT, the TDKR vs Avengers BO sales thread has to be up there. It was glorious. The DC crowd really took it hard.


FF13 on Xbox 360.

virtua fighter 5 on 360. cats were mad as hell

Thinking of it, it might actually be this one. This shit spawned a meme that is still used till this day and is still funny. People were writing petitions and shit. They acted like their lives depended on it.

In hindsight most of the meltdowns involved a game that was exclusive to Sony the previous generation now being multiplatform. Happened for FFXIII, DMC4 and probably GTA4 and RE5 to a lesser extent.

Yup.
But once you realize that the vast majority of GAF is pro-Sony, those threads/reactions don't surprise you anymore. The NPD threads last gen were funny because you saw those kind of reactions on a monthly basis.
 
The guy who had a hard time playing games because he couldn't relate to them. Holy shit. That means he must have not played many games.

Nah he just types faster than he thinks then he called up drinky to help him form a real argument but by then he had already made the race relation distinction.

That duo prided themselves on having superior taste than others.
 
I think the press conference Sony had when they revealed the PS3 $599 price and Kutaragi said people could get a second job to pay for it led to the crash of GAF several times.
 
undertakers streak was ended by Brock Lesnar

Damn, I also haven't followed wrestling in a long time.

Why did they choose to end the streak for Brock Lesnar though? The guy barely made it out of the UFC with his diverticulitis problem. Doesn't seem like he's the same explosive guy of the past. But why would people be "legit shook" by this? It was inevitable. Undertaker is probably in his 50's now and just can't perform to high standards anymore.
 
Oh man I remember this thread.

Also is Jbaird the "go ly dow" one?

The one where the guy got outed for not being Japanese was amazing, though.

theres been a few that were outed for not being japanese
 
theres been a few that were outed for not being japanese

The one I'm thinking of was pretty big, though. Like, the dude had some weird threats going down in his post where he was like "I know who you are and this isn't the first time you've done this and I'll get you."

It was surreal.
 
The delicious tears that came out of the dq 9 to ds thread will never be topped. Also I don't know if it's been mentioned but there was some pretty serious meltdowns at the snake in brawl reveal
 
Yep, he is.

Do you mean the thread where he posts something Halo related, like passages from a book I think?

So the Jbaird one is the one where the guy claimed his girlfriend was missing and it all turned into this huge GAF search for her and then was exposes as a hoax, right?

And the weeaboo one I'm thinking of the dude melts down at the end and like, is all "I know who you are and you've pushed me too far this time and I will have my revenge" or something.
