Support NeoGAF

[Triumph]

My nipples are nearly LACTATING with joy. I can't believe our good fortune.

For those that don't know, Efralope is one of the greatest posters on the internet of ALL TIME EVER. He's a big Nintendo fanatic, is politically "special" we'll say, and has a padawan braid to top it all off. Now that's AWESOME!

I don't understand why, but after his lengthy sojourn to Other Ages, he has apparently decided to operate under the handle Alcibiades. I don't know what the hell that means, but then again I had no idea what Efralope meant either! All I know is that now I will FINALLY be entertained again.

Here's a choice post!

here is a post of mine from another thread.

I have taken actions, so should other Nintendo fans...

As you know, Sega is slowy ditching Nintendo, even though it's been it's most friendly supporter for it's Japanese titles...

my plea to Sega

http://www.sega.com/support/support_csonline.php

Why are you making Super Monkey Ball for XBox but you aren't giving Gamecube loyal fans Jet Set Radio Future or Panzer Dragoon Orta or GunValkyrie.

Looks like just like Acclaim did with Turok and Squaresoft with Final Fantasy you want to betray Nintendo fans that were first in line to support your new venture as a 3rd party and call a truce on an old rivalry, but now you're just putting games on PS2 and XBox.

I bought Super Monkey Ball on launch day Sunday back in 2001, and I did is to show my support for Sega after reading how on igncube.com how much Sega liked the Gamecube, but now you've turned your back.

I ask, WHY?!

I wouldn't mind if the other systems got the games also, but you are also giving them EXTRA content, and doing the same with Sonic Mega Collection. Why?

Also, why don't you bring the games on XBox and PS2 to Gamecube like Shinobi and Virtua Fighter.

You really lost my respect and many other Nintendo fans. If you don't believe me got to message boards, and in fact if you change your mind and put games like Panzar Dragoon Orta and Jet Grind Radio (or JSRF) game on Gamecube we'd support you again and buy those games at $50 and not wait for drops in price like fans of the other systems.

Also, I bought a Dreamcast and Sega Saturn AFTER I got a Gamecube and encouraged my Nintendo friends to do the same cause we liked Sega after they gave us Super Monkey Ball and Sonic, but now we might change our minds, but we'd really like an explanation.

-thanks,

If anyone else would like to chime in with some warm Efralope memories, please feel free to do so!

I guess the Jedi training didn't go so well.

Does he REALLY have a paduwan braid? Unless there are pics I refuse to beilieve it.
Oh yeah, he's got one of the funniest tags around here. Absolutely pathetic that links to the post you mentioned :lol

I think I remember a pic. Don't remember anything else about him, though. From the post quoted above, he sounds like a Gigadent clone.

Efralope makes Gigadent look downright PEDESTRIAN.

 

[Axsider]

He's a big Nintendo fanatic

And this is good? Are you joking?

 

[mCACGj]

It's a plus in my book.

 

[Socreges]

No, he's completely serious. The padawan braid IS awesome, and Raoul's nipples ARE lactating with joy.

But I'm curious. What do you think of Sony fanatics, Axsider?

 

[Error Macro]

Alcibiades = Greek general who fought against Sparta

And he rocks.

I don't see why people mock him so. He's one of the last few people I know to take a serious interest in video games. And he's a fellow Nintendo fan. What can I say. I think he's awesome. He displays the kind of enthusiasm I had several years back, when I remember writing letters to Miyamoto complaining about Mario Kart 64 and such. They never did anything, nor did they even reach Miyamoto, but still, I tried.

 

[mattx5]

Umm, I could've sworn I saw him posting under the Efralope name the other day? I was surprised to see him back...

 

[enjoy bell woods]

Why are you making a thread dedicated to trolling another poster? That's not very nice, especially since efralope is a good guy.

 

[ohamsie]

What does Efralope mean?

I like him, he's an interesting poster.

 

[Alcibiades]

Raoul Duke, do you think Mike Works contest with the aim of more Nielson viewers was entertaining?

sometimes you have to take action into your own hands for something you believe in... even a small contribution can have an effect, and you never know if your act can spread others to participate or do something too... aren't you some Bush-hating libbie? I certainly wouldn't laugh at you if you were writing letters to government, congressmen, etc... at least you are doing something and I would admire that...

but uh, thanks for taking the time, which resulted in the following kind words I'll take to heart:

thanks, btw it's a part of my first and last name together, and it was my first e-mail username I ever used, a friend with the same last name and I put it together when making an account, and I somehow got used to using it...

Probably just for being an insane fanboy. Refuses to play 3rd party games that aren't exclusives....has such a deep hatred of Nintendo competition that he "roots" for even the non-gaming sectors of Sony/MS to do poorly......proponent of both Neo-Con politcs......and the Jedi rat tail.

Hey, I kind of want a Pedawan braid now.

I wonder if Patrick Wolf would approve.

that picture is very, very old (3-4 years old)... right now it's down to my belly button, though my shaggy hairdo at the moment doesn't seem to Jedi-like...

Well, there's a reason for his tag.

I think he was at his best (or worst, take your pick) when explaing "the Gamecube shortages". Some classics there.

Can we take turns at guessing?

 

[Justin Bailey]

haha, Efralope's got a fan!

 

[DyersEve]

Sounds like its more than just a fan... Wink Wink Nudge Nudge!

just so that everyone here has a clear understanding on the off chance that they don't...

For Efralope: a fucking brain. Use it..

Yeah, but have you ever seen me threaten to smash someone in the genitals if they don't buy a BAD game? Like, say, Kirby Butt Ride 14? No. I only do that with true gems, such as KOTOR, KOTOR II, and Jade Empire. Damnit, I'm turning into a BioWare fanboy! Oh well, there's far, far worse things to be. Like PTGrievous, Olimaro, or that idiot with the Hayden Christensen avatar who's handle started with "e" that I can't even remember because he's so stupid. Yeah, him.

I'm sure there's more but this is recent...

Jesus and I LOVE you, Alcilope.
