Support NeoGAF

[Symphonia]

Certain members are just gross and have their minds constantly in the gutter.

It disgusts me quite frankly.

Understandable. Still, as long as the discussion stays away from which pornstars people would do, we should be alright. I'd just HATE to see the aftermath of such a discussion.

This thread needs more christmas spirit.

Dude, when did you go to my doctors surgery?

 

[Reknoc]

I have sent a request. I keep forgetting about the streaming feature.

I'll accept when I get home! Thankfully it seems most people have forgotten about them or don't care as I haven't noticed anyone nosy in on me playing stuff. I hadn't forgotten though, and the first thing I did before loading up SFIV for the new patch was changing my stream settings to friends only lol

I made sure I set it to friends invites only straightaway. I don't want to make people jealous...

Banter makes everything okay...



It is Britgaf. That is how we roll.

I said someone could vent their frustrations. The infamous female-posters-not-liking-porn star-posts-and-photos discussion is then used against me regarding posts and letting them get to you etc.
It was always used.

I have sent a request. I keep forgetting about the streaming feature.

It's not because you're female, get it through your head innit.

But point taken, next time I get annoyed at you I will stick to taking the puss out of you being boring rather than puritanical. I am nothing if not a builder of bridges!

 

[Skele7on]

back from my Ban, never again shall I enter a gamer gate thread.

How is everyone.

You know those donut burgers from hungry horse that are over 2000 calories.

I just had one, it was ridiculous, I am now in a sugar/meat/beer coma.

These last two hours at work are going to drag like fuck.

 

[Symphonia]

Well, that just comes across as unnecessarily rude.

 

[Rubbish King]

Why is it so damn cold

 

[show me your skeleton]

the worst thing about gogglebox is:
a) the folks who then got their own show where nigel 'just a regular working class kinda' guy honest, look at me with me beers' farage came to visit.
b) every other single thing about gogglebox.

 

[Rubbish King]

Just read up and for crying out loud can we not get this thread locked


It never used to have this arguing, it just had really dumb spats between the south and the North which was funny, this is just irritating.

Plus the palpable stink of men's hormones emanating from the posts is enough to knock you backwards.

I don't really care for the passive aggressive battle you guys seem to be having, but can we not bring my hormones into this please.

This thread needs more christmas spirit.

I read this in the most radio-ass radio voice imaginable. Job well done, dude.

I agree with smokey, also do you still need a barman for your cellar? I'm bored of engineering for the day

 

[roundabout]

Well, that just comes across as unnecessarily rude.

By design. This isn't a gender issue and I dislike efforts to make it so. Gender is irrelevant to this (unless you think that only women can object to sexual content, or that women by default should object to sexual content).

 

[Mikeside]

I love Gogglebox! It's not surprising that guy is a UKIPPER (winning side!), the wifey was always swooning over ol Nige a couple of series back. It does feel a bit like censorship of ideas which I'm not comfortable with. Just because he's saying something you don't agree with it doesn't mean that he should be taken off air. On a side not, I hate the boy in that family he's a hyperbolic little shit. But the daughter is A++++ attractive.

I like Gogglebox, but it often feels like they're trying too hard to be funny and they just come across as mean or stupid. Like, there's that girl with the nice northern parents who is just the dumbest person I have ever seen on TV. And she gets so upset at everything, mostly because she doesn't understand it, I think. The world must be a frightening and hostile place for her LOL!

I like the gay couple, they're very funny. I miss George but he was awesome on Big Bro and is obviously destined for bigger things. I love the drunk couple too, the lady looks like she would be a right laugh! She's got that saucy grandma thing going on.

The gay couple, the old couple and the middle-age middle-class couple are the best.

I hate the really camp teenage/early 20s bloke and the thick as pigshit teenage/early 20s girl, though.

 

[CyanideFuse]

Brilliant the ignore function is rubbish. Why even tell me that someone has posted? It should strike them from the record. It is something I suppose.

Edit: On a more annoying note: My 360 pad has a real dead spot on the down and right horizontal making a game like Dark Souls pretty much unplayable. Backing away is now done at a snail's pace. I decided to load the game up again for the first time since January (thanks, I guess!, Sploatee).

[The_Poet]

Those 2 personality types are in pretty much every 'reality' show going, and they are always the most annoying in every show they are in.

 

[FindingGreedo]

I'm unable to stomach any kind of show that includes a voting off thing (I'm a "Celebrity", The Apprentice, The myriad "Talent" shows). I couldn't even tell you why beyond how repulsive I find the palpable need for approval all of the contestants have. There's also that for the most part the people on the Apprentice are so in love with themselves it gives me a bit of the rage.

As for gogglebox, I don't watch a great deal of TV in general so watching a tv show about watching people while they watch tv shows that I wouldn't -oh no I've gone cross-eyed.

It does it just to taunt you. People are talking, perhaps about you. Can you resist the urge to click!??

Some Stewart Lee awesomeness.

I watched that yesterday before he got nominated for the British Comedy Awards. He should have won, but I'm still glad he was recognised. I just love his meta style, it's just on another level.

Ordered season 3 while watching a few episodes on Youtube after his piracy rant when going off on a guy with a cameraphone XD

ALL THE CLEVER PEOPLE, AREN’T YOU, THAT’S WHO LIKES ME, ALL THE CLEVER PEOPLE DOWNLOADING STUFF OFF THE INTERNET, STEALING IT, THAT’S NOT A PROBLEM MICHAEL MCINTYRE HAS WITH HIS AUDIENCE, 1.3 MILLION OF THEM QUEUEING UP AT CHRISTMAS TO BUY HIS DVD LIKE CAPTURED PARTISANS DIGGING THEIR OWN MASS GRAVES.​

Nah, the worst thing about it is that it is The Death of All Culture.

Imagine, we're only a few steps away from people watching people watch TV watching people watching people watch TV watching people watching them watch TV. What kind of future is that? Eliot was right: the world won't end with a bang, but a whimper. Our apocalypse won't be from a nuclear fire but from an oroborus of cultural death. Gogglebox has broken the Seventh Seal and is the first horn of our Doom. The dusty streets of London will be empty but for the lackadaisical dance of crisp packets and the creak of shopping trollies. Our homes will be filled with the dusty remains of the idiots, their hollowed eyes glued to dead TV sets. Forever.

He's amazing! Absolutely love him.

I went to the recent DVD launch. My mate got him to sign his Michael McIntyre DVD and he wrote on it something he heard McIntyre say to a bouncer once: "I'll give you £100 to beat the shit out of that heckler". True story.

I find gogglebox is good because it tells you the kinds of things that normal people care about so you don't have to get too involved, personally.

Oh she's the worst, constantly coming out with banal mind farts that barely make sense as a sentence never mind a cogent thought. And her dumbfuck parents nodding along enthusiastically as if she'd just cracked the enigma code, urgh.

I'm sure she's a lovely girl and all that.

But yeah, the gay couple are the best. The dude who sits on the left is hilarious!

Edit: also Leon, the dude from the old couple is my personal hero. It's like he's speaking through me.

They exist, I see them in the shops and on the train all the time.

I think I would be GREAT on Gogglebox. I wonder how you apply?

Dammit come on ban I want out!

Bloody Internet addiction. CyanideFuse you're right - less Internet is better when feeling down.

Also for fear of kicking up more stink, Skele7on welcome back. I saw the post you got banned for. Hmmmmmmm. What was your view on it all then? Let's debate until my ban kicks in.

i know jrpgs aren't popular here in britland but why won't squaresoft remake final fantasy xii (aka the best one) for the shiny new consoles please?

I console myself with the fact that surely this must happen. They've done ten, twelve is next!

I've got a bottle of whisky and another of honey Jim Beam and I'm going to get fucked up on Christmas Day.

I think I might join you in a ban from the site. Except mine will be a permanent one if you get my gist.

I hope you can find some time to sort yourself out a bit. It is impossible to give advice that doesn't come across as patronising; no one can know how YOU feel. Just take care. And say hello to your guinea pigs from me too!

I try but it's just not my permanent nature. Basically I'm a total softy heart on sleeve person with no emotional defences. Which is why I constantly get into pickles. Especially out here in the Wild West, last unpoliced frontier, most fractious of community community thread etc.

I like BritGAF because it's like the last crazy frontier in GAF. I also hate it because of that! And I hate how much I post in here too. Such an addictive personality. But yes. Have a lovely festive season. (That goes to everyone, including you CyanideStrike)

I mostly try and avoid interacting with normal people. Or at least people who prize being 'normal' I feel normalcy is mediocrity in a nice suit.

That and someone I once worked with asked me to 'Stop scaring the muggles'

I'll be back. I just got to stop posting every five minutes. This is precisely why I should never have done drugs! You know understand why I post about Dark Souls so much. I have a super addictive / obsessive personality (not in a creepy way, luckily) and I just need to tone it down a bit.

Tashbrooke's thread on necrobumping made me realise I haven't read a fiction book in years. I read the paper, articles, academic journals and such but I stopped for some odd reason on fiction. I have no idea where to start. Maybe I should buy a kindle.

I just finished reading the Third Law Trilogy by Joe Abercrombie and it was boss as all hell. Kind of a brutal low fantasy but with a neat take on magic.

But man, there are too many books. I often feel like I'm just reading the obvious ones, but there's a lifetime in just the obvious ones alone.

I started reading A Farewell To Arms but got distracted. I prefer graphic novels mostly. Even better if they're published by Drawn and Quarterly.

I think its because I did a literature degree and I work with words all day. The thought of reading a normal book when I'm at home is draining. Although I do want to read more about North Korea.

I think my family would be kicked off Gogglebox after one episode judging by some of the rather non-PC things my parents say while watching the TV.

I've never seen gogglebox and barely know what it is. You watch other people watch TV? My brother said something very gogglebox worthy about the Black Mirror Christmas Special. Bit spoilery so I'll black tag it.

Spoiler

When the kid turns around and you see her face my brother loudly exclaimed "That's got to be the biggest stab in the back since Pearl Harbour"

How goes Destiny? I had a go at some of the new story missions but my heart wasn't in it to get back into the grind. I still want to try the new Raid but you could say I've Become Disillusioned

These days I'm playing more Injustice: Gods Among Us since it became free.

I enjoy it but sometimes I do end up losing my rag at online player's antics and shouting things like "Cunting SHAZAM!" louder than I should at 2am.
