Damn, US gamers really ARE so hardcore!!

Looking at all that, I can compare only my TV, but one of them (iapetus) uses a projector

Yep, US gamers are so hardc...errr...wait a sec... :p

Seems a lot different than a typical US forum (like...Gamefaqs or something). I honestly don't know if it applies all over, but I spent a while posting on some Japanese gaming forums for practice and I thought the attitude was EXTREMELY different. There were still some stupid arguments, though...

However, I love the cut-throat eXperience of GA.

To all: No prob! Thanks for all the comments, it looks like 'big cow' has infiltrated our language ;p. Just giving back a little, since I've appreciated the translations from Japanese mags/events/etc. on GAF, and since I'm at it a special shoutout to bobby's AWESOME KD rip!

Looking through that China gaming forum though, it seems that they're behind the times as games get released later in China (in Chinese - most Asian editions are either Japanese or Korean which they can't read anyway), and there are topics on the DC and SS. There's even a FTP involved (arrrr!), but most topics are of game/news discussion as well as some 'help me!' topics. It's definitely different from here (US forums), and this may require a bit more investigation.

Interesting:
Several thread titles have words in brackets which clearly tells what the thread's for, e.g.:

[Discuss] After playing Deep Fear on the SS, Biohazard (RE) 2 seems poor in comparison...
[Help] How do I get into FFX2's Hidden Dungeon?
[Notice] PS2 18+ game Michigan news and movie. (Not work safe, durr)

The cow comments prolly have something to do with the chinese zodiac.

Ox/Cow: A born leader that inspires confidence in others. Bright, alert, patient. Conservative and methodical - sometimes to the point of being eccentric or bigoted. You speak little but can be eloquent. Generally easygoing yet can be quick tempered and stubborn. Hate to fail. Most Compatible With: Snake and Chicken. Least Compatible With: Sheep.

Can you explain in detail of the attitudes on foreign boards? It's interesting to see the world outside of the English world.

wow, that was nuts :p

though when i first looked at that game collections thread before, some of the pics were a little "wtf...?" to me too, though afterwards its not too surprising.

but those thread titles make it seem like *everyone who posted pics lives in the US and *everyone here/in the US has some sort of collection like those that they saw.

"At least we kicked your ass!"

I didn't set that tag by the way!

BUT yes l, the french won the game, but i'd hardly say you "kicked our ass", you looked out of ideas to me and then got two set pieces and scored from them. Fair play, play to the end etc... England have only themselves to blame for following a "sit on a 1-0" tactic and having it back fire.... TWICE.

Also, is Silvestre some sort of Alien? his head is the shape of a bean, it's quite shocking.
 
I need to get a pic of my gaming collection. I lost count how many SF games I have. Stupid IGN database doesn't even have half of them listed.
 
Here's my super duper shrine to portable gaming:

Pretty much the only thing I collect.

And before you fuckers ask - I WON those panties for drawing this:

No, I haven't worn them. I figure it's like Cinderella or something. I'll find some hot babe that wears them well and take her as my love slave and pose reference. Kee kee kee!!! ^_^

The only thing that impressed me is their abilities to keep their rooms clean. Man, if I have so many junks/items in my place, it'd be nastier than a pig's hole.

To the person above me, I bet all these gamers knew their photos would be published to the public, that's why they cleaned their messy rooms before taking those photos. We all know, as gamers, that once we start playing games, we definitely don't have any motivation to clean anything up.

Obviously for a real gamer, they will have several copies of the same thing.
But, it's not like they own all these consoles (PS2. XBox), they're most likely taken there by their friends when they play together.

Yes, they probably borrowed their friends' consoles and put them together and take a photo of it to show how rich they are. Either way, any normal white people like to go out and do outdoor activities instead of this.

Also, is Silvestre some sort of Alien? his head is the shape of a bean, it's quite shocking.

IU saw it happening though, it reminded me of the 2000 final, against Italy.

As for sylvestre, If I could do anything about it, he'd NEVER EVER play again in the national team. Most of the goals taken were after big errors from him. I'd like to hang Santini in the sun to dry for that. I hope Tottenham won't suffer from their choice.

But to be honest with you, I hate it when a team plays defensively for the whole game, but when it does for the whole competition (see Greece) I cannot help despising them. They are the new germany. 11 players defending and only playing on counter attacks (that's how they scored in their last 3 games against france, Czeck Republic and Portugal)

I have one hope, that the coaches find a way to crack that game so as to kick them out of the qualifying round for the next world cup. WE DON'T NEED that kind of play on the field.

why do I like the brasilian way? Portugal's way? France's way? Hell even England's way without sven eriksson? Because it moves, it attacks, it creates the game, it doesn't suffer it.

Enough for that rant though :p

For the record, I object to the claim that I tidied the room. I just didn't take photos of the messy bits (hence the angle on the projector screen shot) ;)

I take slightly less offence at the assumption I'm from the US.

um - given i was pwninanted by work, i didn't get to do any new shots, so here are the old ones (again). I'll try and update tonight - it's changed quite a bit recently.
