what an amazing thread, lying about sleeping with models on the internet and got exposed in the greatest exposure in GAF history


I'm honored to have been here
 
The question that still lingers is despite being publicly disgraced, will Houston 3000 still show up to this Saturday's NYC GAF meet up? We might have the exclusive interview with the man himself and get the dirt from him (with his permission to talk about it here, otherwise it will only be known to the people who went).

I'm pleasantly surprised that the thread's original plot is going strong, so while the meta-topic derailed things, JB's plot thickens, so the thread is slowly getting back on topic. Glad to see things are going well for you JB.

Sure. That's how it'll work.
 
Imagine how embarrassed he is, basically every damn story he's told you guys has been complete bullshit and everyone knows it lol
He never told us this story although we talked about girls. It took some balls for Houston to come clean like that albiet ignoring the shady stuff in the past. I don't think he'll get ridiculed for it though for the nyc meet up. I'm sure he'll get teased about it but he'll probably be the life of the party come Saturday.
 
Well, this explains why Houston wasn't around to drink with when I was in NYC. Yikes. :)
Don't worry, I'm not a chump like our dear pal Houston is. ;) I suppose he was in hiding from the shellacking that he took (maybe he doesn't really work out). That might explain why took a liking to you but it wasn't enough to make him come out a second time. It's pretty sad.
Sure. That's how it'll work.
Hahaha. That made me laugh quite a bit. Well...no promises. I suppose it couldn't hurt to let GAF know the most juiciest details about why he did it. You get a little alcohol into the system and it becomes a real Verita serum for people. Then again, he hasn't let any dark things come to light in his drunken state.

I don't know if he has the courage to show up to the meet up now, because he's going to be the butt of all the jokes that night since we're going to be laughing at him the entire time. If he does show up, then at least he has guts and deserves respect. Although, I am starting to question if anything that he's told us has been a lie too, but I don't assume he has for the most part. Regardless, he's lost a couple of respect points from my book but it doesn't change my opinion about him.

why did it take balls for him to come clean AFTER he got exposed for being a pathological liar? I would have given him props for coming clean before he was already outed, once that happened he had to no choice. I know a person like him who lies about everything, but not as severe. Once you find out one white lie you realize that they weaved together a complicated fabric of lies all in order to keep up 1 lie, it's a slippery slope.


edit: when it comes to guys and their stories with girls, I have found it that most of it is filled with lies and exaggerations, like the saying "however many girls a guy says he slept with, divide it by 3 to get a more accurate number".
 
yep, she sent me a text this morning saying her plans fell thru fri night and she would love to meet up with me. yea!!
That's great! Have fun.

I highly advise that you still stick around on NeoGAF, the quality of threads in most instances is very high and if you have any interest in video games it will be even better due to the gaming side (that's not to state that you must be interested in games, the off topic section is more than worth staying on the website for).
I actually have quite a large interest in games, I currently make a living (barely) as a game developer on the art side as well as game design; I'm not part of some large studio or anything, we're just a team of 2 that made a few crappy games, haha.
I feel that the medium of gaming has huge potential that isn't really being explored too often, especially since it's an interactive medium that demands your attention and can allow for things like self-reflection based on your actions in the game. I would probably sound a bit pretentious doing so, but I could go on for hours about the subject; so yeah, I definitely have an interest in video games.

will Houston 3000 still show up to this Saturday's NYC GAF meet up?
Wow, I didn't know you guys on this board met up in real life. I don't see why he wouldn't show up though; sure it's shameful, but it isn't the end of anyone's life.

Although, I am starting to question if anything that he's told us has been a lie too, but I don't assume he has for the most part.
He lied about this because it made him feel better during a low time (I'm guessing), but I don't see why he would lie about anything else, so I wouldn't assume that he just lies constantly. Though I'm not sure what else he says, all I really cared about was the stuff concerning my ex.


Houston and I sent some PMs back and forth yesterday; I still don't forgive him for the shit he pulled back then, but he was mostly apologetic and surprisingly well mannered about it. He is fully aware of how pathetic he was concerning this woman, but he says that he has been going through a transformation recently and trying to become a better person, so it's possible that he isn't the kind of asshole who would pull this shit again.
I don't know if I'll ever want to be back on good terms with him again, these kinds of things have caused me quite a bit of stress over a woman who I was extremely passionate about, but at least I don't see him as a complete douchebag anymore.
 
RawNuts, you might want to objectively ask yourself if you gain anything positive by staying upset over this. Does it serve you or him in any way if you don't forgive him?

That's pretty sweet that you're a game developer. I'm thinking of joining it myself as an artist once I get my skills up and build a decent portfolio. See? You do have a reason to stay since you guys already settled the score. Plus he has that tag of shame and you have that tag of honor, so you should stay.

I'm glad you guys made up for the most part. There's no point in holding a grudge against him, so why don't you guys try being friends again? You guys were close at one point, I don't see why you guys can't mend the relationship. It wasn't cool that he said that all that fake stuff about your ex and moved out of state to follow her; that's definitely not being a real friend in my book. As well as the fact that he's been fabricating posts related to dating and women. I mean all this for one woman? Really? That sounds like something straight out of a soap opera. But again, I think you guys should completely bury the hatchet and try to start all over again.

If you really feel that you can never forgive him for causing you all this trouble and ruining your relationship with your ex, then I don't blame you for completely severing your ties with him. At the very least, you heard him out and accepted his apology. Plus he promised to turn over a new leaf so if you don't want to mend the friendship, then you can at the very least leave knowing that you talked some sense into him and showed him the consequences of all his lies on top of publicly embarrassing him in one of the most popular forums on the internet.

And yes, Gaffers from all over the world meet up all the time. It's all fun and games with social networking being the name of the game at its core. In NYC GAF's case, we've met up 5 and a half times this plus many times in the past people have met up. Behind the computers, user names, and avatars, are people from all walks of life so it's fun seeing the people that inhabit the same forum in person.

Like I said, he's definitely going to be the laughing stock of the group at the very least; I'm definitely going to address by his title and will poke fun of him. He's a cool person despite this recent incident that showed some of his true colors. Again, he's never brought up anything related to women or that woman in question at the meet ups so don't worry about it.

EDIT:
Was gonna book a room in AC for Fri but she invited me to stay at her place instead. Aww yeaaa!

The plot thickens. That is good to hear. Have fun with that and keep us updated.
 
RawNuts, you might want to objectively ask yourself if you gain anything positive by staying upset over this. Does it serve you or him in any way if you don't forgive him?
You have a point. I am over it for the most part, but I was still determined that I was going to call him on it on his own forum, I just felt that it would be the appropriate response.
There isn't any benefit in calling him a friend again though either, I'm just indifferent about him now.

Nice. Perhaps she really is quite interested in you but originally told you that she had plans for Friday so you could feel like her "plan b" and that would make herself seem like she isn't too interested.
Much like the advice you see people giving men about dating women, I've known women who take the same course of action concerning men they date; they could be quite interested but purposely don't show it in order to keep you interested. Of course this is all just speculation, haha.
Anyway, hope you enjoy yourself come Friday!

That's pretty sweet that you're a game developer.
I wish it was as sweet as it sounded, haha. It's extremely enriching, but very stressful and extremely risky doing freelance jobs where you're living paycheck to paycheck. I've worked at a studio once though and got paid well and consistently, but I didn't really like being part of a studio, I would rather play a large role on the games we make.
It seems to be a decision between doing something you're passionate about or making money, the latter of which is starting to become more important to me when I feel like I'm at an age where I have a desire to start and support a family. We're really hoping to get good sales from one of our upcoming projects, then we can have the best of both worlds, haha.

I'm glad you guys made up for the most part. There's no point in holding a grudge against him, so why don't you guys try being friends again?
Yeah, he was rather nice about it; I'm not a very forgiving person, but I certainly won't be holding any grudge against him.

As well as the fact that he's been fabricating posts related to dating and women.
Other than the things concerning my ex, I have no idea if he has fabricated anything else but I doubt that he would have any reason to do so.

I mean all this for one woman?
You haven't met the woman though, she is pretty amazing, haha. ;)
Even though I've been dating some other women since, they just haven't compared to how I felt about her, she really is an awesome one.

I see. I understand why you would want to be your own boss and make the games you want to make despite it being riskier. But best of luck of to you. It sounds like you a have a lot going for you. Just a word of advice: don't make a thread promoting your own game. It'll get you banned faster than you can say your user name, so yeah. What platform(s) are you developing the game for. I'm going to assume it's for IOS and Android or PC since it's low risk as well as costs very little to develop for.

That seems to be the fine line that many Indie developers are walking these day; either make a game with a lot of heart and soul poured into it and cater it to a niche audience or make a game that appeals to as many people as possible and is easy to play in hopes of it being commercially successful. That's some pretty good insight, thanks for sharing that.

No, I have not seen the woman in question and probably never will unless they were to move next door to me or something (which I highly doubt). But I'll admit, I did see him with a woman once when I bumped into him whom he later told me was his friend but I don't know if it was her or not.

O.k. guys, show's over. JB has the thread once again. I suppose our "newest" member will continue answering questions as well as stick around GAF but the feud has been resolved peacefully.
 
Can we just get a picture of this chick? I mean, to have one guy follow her 1000 miles across the country just for a chance to get with her while the other guy holds a year long grudge against a guy who didn't sleep with her but acted like he did on an internet forum and calls him out on it on the same forum even after he's already broken up with her, she must be smokin'.

I don't really want to post her photos, since she is typically pretty private about things. I guess her G+ photos would be considered public anyway, but I still don't feel right posting them, sorry.
She is quite good looking, but it's mainly her personality and interests that make her a really stand-out woman.

Nobody knows me in real life so I'm gonna lie about sleeping with women.
I'm watching you through your window as you type this; see you in a year.

:P

Let's not get creepy. Er.

Let's not get creepier.

Noone will go full retard and post that picture man.
 
On a whim I decided to click on this thread. I usually try to stay out of stuff like this...

But holy crap. What a story.

I'm glad this got resolved in a favorable manner. Both sides seem to have moved on a bit. I'm sure it'll gnaw on you guys for a while, but at least now you can move forward.

Exactly. If I was at the GAF meet up, I wouldn't shake that mans hand. Tag is well deserved and his done nothing to redeem himself. Chump.

Good for you! I get from your attitude that you have some self-estem problems, hope that this story helps you with it. Keep cool, she's into you because there are reasons to be interested in you. Chin up JB!
 
Man, I gotta be honest and give major credit to Houston3k coming back here and copping to everything. That NEVER happens.

He deserves the chump tag for awhile but it shouldn't permanently stain him.
 
ON PAGE 4 WHAT THE FUCK

Damn you new school semester making me miss an epic thread, but good lawd guys - thread of the year right here. The most amazing story I've read all year. The legend of Sunhi continues to grow and the various other gifs had me dying. This is why I joined NeoGAF.
 
i stopped reading after page 1 cause it was a stealth brag thread.... god damn it :p

TOTY

almost as good as the 4chan creepy stalker dude from japan

Under normal circumstances, sure. But to come clean on an internet forum, a platform where it's easy to put up a facade, and then come out to meet the same people for drinks for the weekend does takes some guts. All I'm saying is that I'm not a pathological liar but if I was, I wouldn't show my face and find another forum to post.
