Correct. Which is why I implied that I feel a community that actually does label themselves would be more effective. Regardless the gesture is nice of course. When you know who the community is, it'd be nice to know who in the community took part, to see know who are your fans.
Nintendo Treehouse team got a thank-you gift from 4chan's video games board.

Just because there are people that post there that do that doesn't mean there aren't tons who are just normal people discussing video games.
And no I don't post there.

How are we never sending things to people? We're supposed to be the good forum!
We're losing to 4chan, guys. LOSING.

Except for the fact that 4chan is basically stormfront-lite at this point I guess I agree with you.

We got Sony to acknowledge and do that Banderas .gif meme thing a couple times. That's sort of like sending a
really played out
you realise there's four or so different boards on 4chan devoted to LGBT groups right
/b/ and /pol/ make up something like one twentieth of the site.

They also manage to organise a yearly game award show.
A beacon in a sea of shit, yes.
It's not just /b/ and /pol/ despite how terrible those places are too.

I don't get this at all. What did they do to deserve the thank you??

I just checked /v/ and unless they're all having a REALLY bad day, it's not terrifically different from /b/ in mannerisms
They put on a great show, helped save Nintendo's E3 reputation
For providing fun and interesting entertainment and offering a new way to experience E3 from home.
Don't make this into a bad thing. It isn't. This is good. Even more so that it came from 4chan.
A majority of them are just being ironic shitters.

So thanks for doing a stream?
They made that card thing because of the stream? I honestly think that's kind of weird

I thought it was a refreshing change of pace from all the sales talk, tv, CG trailers, and all that other nonsense that usually goes on that i dont really care about.
The stream was dedicated to showing off games, going in depth and getting insight from developers. I thought that was great.

Yep the other companies use E3 as a sale show and Nintendo is so confident with their games that they show them off for hours instead of a 2 min trailer and a 5 min gameplay demo on the floor.

/v/ Is definitely Nintendo/PC friendly, or at least the last time I checked they were
It's just a letter, calm down.
VERY much so. And it seems to be getting worse. Every other comment is some mustard race bullshit or whining about people not buying WiiUs.

/v/ Doesn't care much for Sony or Microsoft, even last year, they thought Nintendo did great and the other two were horrible
When was the last time Kojima made a game for a Nintendo console or PC?
Exaggerated maybe, but it's pretty understandable how Nintendo's E3 stuff could have been the high point of the whole event for some people.

I missed the part where I said they don't like Metal Gear

I think it's weirder that you consider that weird.
You must've missed the part where you made an over-generalization of a board where half of the posts made are not even serious.
Man, you seem to be getting really worked up over a card. Relax man.

It's pretty simple in my opinon. There are some things about /v/ that are nice, and some things that
make me SICK
People make other people happy and in a shocking twist receive thanks.

Like NeoGAFs obsession with bad news in the OT.

the difference, of course, is that rather than being a "funny", "ironic", normal thing, people who throw around nigger and faggot with abandon usually don't last long here

Yeah, and if people prefer GAF for that reason that's perfectly fine. For me, however, that's far from the biggest problem with /v/, and I personally don't react to it emotionally with much more than mild irritation, which I also find in some
SALESFILMICCINEMATIC
I'm really not trying to trash NeoGAF that much, I just find it less necessary to speak on the positives of this site since obviously most people who actively post on here would be aware of them already.

Hail, peons, for I have come as ambassador from the great and bountiful Blueberry Butt Explosion
Because apparently, Neogaf are mostly cunts.
He's not wrong. Most of the developers and bizdev guys in gaming that I know think GAF is a horrible cesspool of assholes.
you need to guide them into the light!
Well, they do label themselves as a community, but most people who post there aren't seeking personal fame or attention that ties to their real self in the first place. But yeah, there's a different appeal to doing with names.

I'm usually just in /vg/ these days and it's pretty nice.

/vg/ may be nice, but /vr/ is where it's at.

really nice of them, i hope that with this much positive reaction, we get an even better treehouse next year.
also, as neogaf is, 4chan is just a forum up to discussion, the main difference is that they are anonymous, so you have a lot of trolling in general happening, but it also has a lot of great things there, lots of amazing discussions, and they work together to make these beautiful cards to send to the developers. GAF in my opinion is a great place, but while there when i see a dumb post, i can tell that it's mostly a joke, while here sometimes i can't. So there's no reason to think that we are above anyone because of our forum of choice.

all my loli wolf companions are so moe
I sometimes find game discussions better in /v/ than some other places
NeoGAF won't send a thank you card to anyone unless they release a game that's 1080p and 60fps on consoles, so maybe start a campaign then.
