I wonder who's the webmaster of that website.

You can bet your ass it's none other than... Matt Casamassina.

 

[Drinky Crow]

typhon, someone sure to aggravate you in the coming days. thoroughly aggravate. you'll be shitting a new kind of rage after my thirtieth or so post. or, alternately, you'll develop stockholm syndrome like the rest of the forum. either way, i don't care.

 

[demi]

it's like handheld sex. with a handheld woman.

With handheld vaginal warts. Who then offer handheld solutions in pill form, that do not fix your problem but rather hide it so that it may come up again in the future.

 

[Drinky Crow]

no.

also not clever. if you're going to be on the winning team, you need to play like a starter, not the dude in the fursuit getting nailed with peanuts.

 

[demi]

I am not here to amuse you, boy.

You are a gimmick.

 

[GDGF]

You should join the winning team Drinky. You got moxy

 

[demi]

He should.

 

[Drinky Crow]

no way i'm a gimmick. i'm an institution. i'm the fuckin' d-pad of gaf. sure i hurt a lot of thumbs, but most of you're at a loss without me.

 

[demi]

I think I'll survive.

Us nintendumbs learn to adapt, you know.

 

[Monk]

Yes, if we don't get HD, we will burn our eyes so we can't see the difference. GENIUS.

 

[Virgin Wii]

In the music and movie industry you dont have format wars, fanboys and arguments. Its all about content.

Bullshit. It would suck if music artists could only play one model of guitar, buy one brand of keyboard, use one midi program, etc. It would similarly suck if those guys that make movies could only use one kind of whatever the fuck they use to make movies.

 

[Aruarian Reflection]

This is a bigger scam than Lokitorrent!

 

[Porridge]

Did DrinkyTroll prefer the Lynx over the original Gameboy back in the day? After all, it WAS technologically superior

 

[GDGF]

Porridge your avatar is freaking cool. Nice animation!

 

[Porridge]

Porridge your avatar is freaking cool. Nice animation!

thanks buddy.. those Metal Slug games are filled with 'em. aliens, and babies, and even mummy dogs

 

[Oxymoron]

is there evidence anywhere of Nintendo listening to people from the internet?

Of course. There was that campaign to get Mother 1&2 released in North America, the big online anticipation for GiFTPiA, Fire Emblem 6, the Kururin and Starfi games... the list goes on and on!

 

[SantaC]

bah I am a nintendo fan, but some people still think that NOA has a say in important decisions. They don't. I think this campaign is in vain.

 

[Deg]

Bullshit. It would suck if music artists could only play one model of guitar, buy one brand of keyboard, use one midi program, etc. It would similarly suck if those guys that make movies could only use one kind of whatever the fuck they use to make movies.

I meant CD's, Super Cd's, DVD audio etc. Formats.

 

[Sho Nuff]

Who the hell is Drinky Crow?

MUHAHAHA

 

[radioheadrule83]

A unified format would have do be created by a consortium of companies... nobody (certainly not MS or Nintendo) are going to just sit back one day and decide its a one (Sony) console future. There'd have to be competition in each area like there's been with HD-DVD and Blu-Ray between the various manufacturers and supporters of those formats. Even then, there's no guaruntee the superior product idea wins out...

A unified gaming format would certainly be interesting. I think it'd be great for developers. I'm not so sure it'd be great for gamers. Having all the people who want your money agree on a new way to take it from you isn't my favourite concept. Weighing it up - I'm happy as it is now. Products that are more and more diverse yet competing with one another. If you're a true enthusiast you won't mind owning more than one console at these prices.

The real thing that pisses me off is the price of the games. I think this model of recouping costs and license fees by having prices like £30/£40 -- it seems like a false economy to me. If they can't sell enough to cover costs, or aren't prepared to let another successful project fund their vanity projects, they shouldn't be fucking making it. How can games ever hope to be as accessible as film at 2 or 3 times the price?

I'd buy a shitload of games if they were cheaper.

Not relevant.

 

[belgurdo]

no way i'm a gimmick. i'm an institution. i'm the fuckin' d-pad of gaf.

I use analog sticks. winnar

 

[StRaNgE]

I've been gone for a month, clown, during which I played the HOLY HELL FUCK out of Hot Shots Golf. Man, Best Handheld Game EVER.

Golf?? u gotta be kidding me.. but hey to each thier own..


Nother helping of snake anyone ? :lol

 

[wobedraggled]

I'll be using the gyration style moderator from now on then

 

[Jonnyboy117]

We also need more rants "opinions" than just Matty Matt.

There'll be something on PGC tonight or tomorrow.

Yes, my liege.

 

[typhonsentra]

By the way, I should probably reword my question. I know who he is (A board regular who trolls against Nintendo), but what separates him from the pack? Why, even after leaving for a month does every other topic on this board still talk about him? Why did he leave in the first place?

 

[Paladin69]

we got the 1080up store online. Show your support.

you guys know you want the thong.

 

[ohamsie]

MAF, May He Rest In Peace

What happened to MAF?

 

[Yossarian]

I'll be using the gyration style moderator from now on then

either you or Wario needs to change their avatar. Its goddamned confusing.

 

[demi]

What happened to MAF?

The nintendumbs prevailed.

 

[Paladin69]

so no one wants the thong? i'm hurt.

 

[Paladin69]

well we got rid of the store/donation page.
we don't need to worry about paid advertising anymore
word of mouth will help this thing spread...especially now that IGN covered it.

I just didn't want to be viewed as a scammer, we're trying to be serious about this.

anywho, flame away you anti nintendo / anti HD pricks.

The problem with a standard is it would potentially set the bar low, and could interfere with the current business model. Right now we get pretty powerful machines because these guys make money back on software. Think of DVD players. How many DVD player manufacturers sell thier player at a loss and make it back with DVD sales?
