Support NeoGAF

[toythatkills]

No but my older cousin had Subuteo and I never could figure out how to play it so I would get trounced every time. He was a right dick, that guy.

Subbuteo, so good. The first time in my life I'd have arguments about free kicks, trying to establish whether he played the man first or the ball.

Maybe that's where the misunderstanding of the "dangerous tackle" rule in football comes from.

Hello BritGAF. Happy new year.

Are we feeling less tense and stressed now that Christmas is out of the way?

Anyone ever play Super Cup Football as a kid?

Its the best table sports game ever, so much fun was had playing with my older brother.

That is until I beat him 3 times in a row once and he threw it down the stairs.

Oh yes, my brother used to own that. We also owned a Power Rangers version of those Sock'em Robot things where the Megazord faced off against Goldar.

So... this podcast thingummybob. All we need to do is record a Skype call and then send it off to iTunes. The first few will be even more terrible than the rest but after that it should be fun, no? No-one will probably listen to it, but I just think it'll be fun doing it.

As for a format, what about four people, bit of a chat about what you're playing at the moment, what's going on in the games world etc and various stuff. Conversation really not a big structured thing, just a few bullet points.

Do it maybe every couple of weeks? Just post in the thread and then each time we can pick four people to do it? Maybe three people? I don't know?

I've had to stop on Halo, JB. I'm just not enjoying it. It might be that it's something which, because I didn't grow up with, I just can't connect to. I understand all the things that were innovative about it and I can appreciate its importance in game history, but I'm just not enjoying it. I don't know if it's just too different from Dark Souls and I'm a bit discombobulated, if it's aged pretty badly or if it's just the colour scheme. It might be that playing Titanfall has made it feel even slower than it is meant to feel, but I can't see anything particularly special about it now. It's very hard to feel a sense of wonder about all of its novelties when they're not novelties anymore and I'm not finding the gameplay that enthralling - although I will say that the guns feel good and the sound design is great. The pistol, shotgun and assault rifle are all great to use. But it's all just so blue. Blue blue blue blue everywhere. Grunt + Elite and then Grunt + Elite and then Grunt + Elite and shield baddie. Then blue blue blue blue blue. And the flood are so boring to fight. It's so repetitive. And while I like the idea of these Halo worlds, there's nothing really grabbing me here - I even preferred the idea of the Traveller in Destiny. I'll see it through in a while and maybe Halo 3 will be a bit more fun, but as a current game I'm not finding anything so great in Halo: CE at all.

I'm going to try Gears of War and Bioshock now. Fingers crossed.

 

[Jackben]

I think they're best left to the past. I'm not a huge Halo fan by any means so I won't blame you for dropping it for not having fun. I don't even know if it would hold up now if I went back to it. The most fun I had was just messing about with the different vehicles and playing with mates.

Never played a single Gears of War game somehow. Interested to see what you think.

 

[Reknoc]

Gunfeel and sound is probably the last thing I'd ever compliment Halo for with maybe Reach as the exception.

 

[Hystzen]

Reach is only good Halo that's why

 

[show me your skeleton]

fuck destiny, as someone here stated it just doesn't respect the time put into it. the fact that their expansion introduces yet another number to fill via a set of repeating timewasters speaks volumes to the depth of that game. really annoyed i bought that game digitally.

I think there would need to be some system for choosing the hosts otherwise it'll probably end up being a bit cliquey maybe? I'd listen to it though!

Happy new year UK GAF!

You should be on it!

Yeah definitely. I guess the first question (which is open to all of the posters in this thread) would be, who'd be up to be on it?

 

[jimbor]

Sister has been offered a place in Oxford, so proud of her.

Shell be studying English so if you cunts are nice to me, I'll ask her to knock up a script after your god awful first podcast has you all hanging your heads in shame.

[Son Of D]

I'd be willing to help in any way that doesn't involve actually talking on the podcast.

I'de be up for it. Should be good fun, regardless of quality/viewership

 

[Screaming Meat]

Is swearing allowed on ze podcast?

 

[dapperbandit]

Would be interested in actually being on it. But yes we'd have to limit it to three or four hosts per session which could mean cycling the panel if we have an excess of volunteers.

 

[Volotaire]

Wow last BritGAF community thread got 500000 views. There is your potential viewership.

 

[dapperbandit]

i'm responsible for at least 2/7ths of that number

 

[sploatee]

I'm not in charge but sure. Swearing, racism, homophobia, transphobia, Islamophobia, disablism...it's going to be proper UKIP.

 

[roundabout]

Sounds like a Saturday night in my local LOL!

No objectifying women though.

I'm sure there'll be plenty of oafs.

Dammit. I'm a massive oafaphobic.

That thread also lasted way longer than most other community threads do. It was around for an entire year so take that into account. By comparison other communities usually have about 3-4 threads per year.

Sounds like a Saturday night in my local LOL!

And then he was banned.

 

[jimbor]

No podcast for you!

 

[The_Poet]

What a shame, Roundabouts vibrant youthfulness would have been the spark to ingite fierce debate on the podcast.

And we could have used the extensive log books hes kept on all of us for a weekly feature.

 

[JonathanEx]

I'm surprised it wasn't sooner, LOL!

 

[show me your skeleton]

roundabout was an aggrivating git. there, said it.

It's a shame. We could've done with a racist. Ho ho!

I quite liked roundabout. Does anyone know why he was banned?

Also, come on those that want to be on podcast. Looking at you JonathanEx you broadcaster you 😛

He posted in that Japanese child porn comic thread, if I had to guess I'd say it was that, but I'm not going to read his posts there since that'd mean reading the thread.

 

[Skele7on]

Yeah definitely. I guess the first question (which is open to all of the posters in this thread) would be, who'd be up to be on it?

Firstly:

RIP Roundabout. RIP.

Secondly

I would be up for it, sounds like it could be a lot of fun.

We could also use this as a chance to get the BritGAF band played on a podcast....

 

[banofypie]

roundabout was an aggrivating git. there, said it.

It's kinda funny how now that they've been banned everyone is happy to talk about them behind their back, even if they can see the thread or not.

What a strange, bitchy way of doing it.

 

[jimbor]

Roundabout was Jed, dickfaces. He's perma'd now for being an alt. At least he went down fighting the good paedo fight, outing that paedo Cyanide Strike along the way. I'm sure Jed won't mind me mentioning that he was sexually abused as a child and he tapped into his lost youthful innocence for Roundabout. Cy detected that something was not quite right (vulnerable) with roundabout, pmed him Jed shared some of his abused past to which Cy let him know how turned on he was and pushed for more details.

Jesus H Christ if this is real. Which given the more than frosty response to Cy makes more sense now.

I always thought that afoni guy was a cock, but he's a close personal acquaintance that I speak to regularly so I've let him know I think he's a poo poo head on numerous occasions.

Be bitchy upfront.

Don't be a bitch.

 

[Musha_Soturi]

It's real. Jed kept us updated in Whatsapp.

Yeah, exactly!

 

[SmokyDave]

.....woah.

I reckon I'll nip outside for a smoke.

 

[CyanideFuse]

Hello everybody.

Been off the site for a couple of weeks, a self-imposed ban, so just catching up on things.

He was on my ignore list but I see from some quoted messages that Roundabout was banned. What did he do? Edit: Just read more messages here as to why.

I would quite happily have said what I think of him but I sort-of value my Neogaf account too much hence why I set him on ignore rather than type it out.

 

[Mikeside]

How come nobody ever singles me out for sexual abuse?

 

[jimbor]

How come nobody ever singles me out for sexual abuse?

You were an ugly kid.

 

[Mikeside]

You were an ugly kid.

You've seen that that isn't true. I was adorable.

 

[SmokyDave]

Well, I've had a smoke, re-read this page, and I'm still not moving past 'woah'.

I wish I could be arsed to scroll back through 400 pages of Whatsapp to see what went down.

 

[dapperbandit]

 

[BGBW]

Well at least you have a story to talk about in episode one of the oh so happening BritGAF podcast.
