Wow. Looks like some people were right when they said that
Yeesh, talk about a
Finale is next week. Can't wait to see it.
Wow. Looks like some people were right when they said that
Striker was the one acting as Kugel the whole time and was only following AI instincts.
Yeesh, talk about a
one sided fight. Chamber and Striker were pretty even, with Striker having a little advantage, but everyone else got annihilated hard! That's not to say that it wasn't enjoyable seeing Pinion go from stupid ass to badass.
Finale is next week. Can't wait to see it.
That's a shitty thread to go out in too.
Oh god, wasn't he still a junior?
Yes.
I just don't want to be an attention whore or ruin other people's fun. I come here to blow off steam and relax, and I don't want to make it any worse for other people.
Isn't Glass Fleet the one with the goatee on every chin? What's that show about? The goatee on every chin is really all I know about that show.
This is why I posted a picture of a glacier for my episode review, because it moves at a glacial pace.

I disagreed with his opinion and his approach on evaluation, but a ban - seriously?
Is it always perma as a junior?

Without having read more than that one page, I can't believe that guy sunk as low as using an avatar for an argument. The only way that gets worse is mocking a username. Could've at least been clever and avatar quoted him.

bad gameplay lol

Yup, he's gone. I liked him, even if his posts were so intertextual and filled with film language that I could have never been able to discuss anything with him on his own terms.

RIP indeed. How unfortunate.

I hate those kind of replies too
Misinformed people thinking they are a higher being and unable to discuss a subject without resolting to petty arguments.
I think that the bannable post occurred earlier in the thread; several people were accusing him of being condescending according to quotes in his post history. Whether that's true or this was just another case of juniors being on a way shorter leash and the dogpile of offense being taken as sufficient evidence that offense was intended, I'm not sure but, frankly, that whole thread sounds like a pain in the ass to parse through.

Yeah I saw, this shit is stupid. REALLY STUPID! I really don't see how the equivalent of calling someone the biggest piece of shit they ever met (the lol anime avatar) isn't a bannable offense. It's pretty much thread shitting worthy.

Shit, I've had derogatory posts aimed at me for having an anime avatar. And honestly it makes me not want to post in OT outside of the anime and K-ON! threads.
Gaming side seems much more tolerant of anime avatars, though.

Okay then. If he was being an ass as a junior, then I can see that. I guess I just assumed he was banned for that cause it was his last post.
Edit: But still, using anime avatars as some sort of effort to try and discredit an opinion is just ad hominem bullshit, and I seriously don't know why that's allowed, especially when the discussion has fuck all to do with anime.

Yikes! That's like me complaining about a Sony game and someone went; your name is nintendoman so your argument is invalid.
While I don't think that what Tamerlane said was entirely appropriate, that does not mean you-, ugh, really? Invalid argument because of an anime avatar?

I think he was seen as being condescending due to his references to older literature and somewhat obscure films that most other people haven't read or seen. Those references make other people view him as a know-it-all out to lord his superior knowledge over everyone else, as in this post.
An unfortunate situation, to be sure.
Part of the reason I'm using an Adventure Time avatar.
This is why I'll never be a mod; half of NeoGAF would be banned.
Really, I've never understood why trying to invalidate someone's argument through ad hominem attack (not just anime avatars, but anything) isn't bannable given the emphasis that GAF supposedly (keyword: supposedly) places on polite and reasoned debate.

"hurhur adventure time is stoner garbage go watch a real show"
How is that?
please don't hurt me i like adventure time
I've seen ugly things happen to people with Master Chief avatars in Nintendo threads. You can't say anything without being accused of having an agenda.

I thought you dropped it at only two episodes? (actually didnt you drop everything at two or three episodes)
Well yeah, four episodes were enough to make me quit because it was quite bad.
I'd still be watching if it was actually good.
Okay. This shit actually made me laugh.

I'm sure the live action film will do the weak source material justice.
If I want to use any its from anime and such, but I don't want to involved to thing like that in NBA thread or whatever lol
Maybe I can use Derrick Rose or Han Fast&Furious avy, but I don't think will comfortable with it.
The live action movie will be better than the anime at least.

So the only reason I know about this film is because of Geneijin linking me a supercell trailer a while ago.
This is a forecast I can get behind. They really pile on the sakura blossoms in the first 5 minutes of the film. lol
I was going to complain that, like all science fiction movies, this is one of those films that clumsily gives away its premise through some bit of exposition early on because it doesn't trust the audience.
But then, the rest of the movie happened. lol
To say that the film is obtuse is probably bit of an understatement. Though it's not quite a Malick film, there really isn't much of a narrative for the audience to follow. Rather, it's a string of chronologically linear scenes connected to each other via a metaplot that is always differed. Only the characters really know what is actually going on in the world and it is up to the audience to try to piece together whatever story they can out of the glimpses that they are allowed by the director.
For a film that is in part about communication, I guess that's actually a smart way to convey the theme.
If you had to do an elevator pitch for the film, I would say it is the Shinji x Kaoru scenes from Evangelion 3.33 x The Girl Who Leapt Through Time. If that confuses you and makes no sense, well, having seen the movie myself, I'll just say you're not alone. lol
Also, if nothing else, the film does have gorgeous backgrounds and neat animation for the people into that stuff.
I don't know how many people here will end up checking out the film. I'm not even quite sure if I would say that it is necessarily even a "good" film. But in the context of the SyFy that's just been happening in anime television recently, it's nice to have a piece of science fiction that expects you to think... even if what you end up thinking about might be trivial in the grand scheme of things.

The ending twist wasn't a surprise, but that battle was glorious. Would be anime of the season if Valvrave wasn't so ridiculous,

You know, I've never been harassed a single time on any other forum for my choice of avatar, even forums that arguably attract an even more mainstream userbase. There is a particular culture of hyper-masculinity that has taken root here and anything that violates that heteronormative space even slightly is violently shouted down. It's why I simply avoid OT altogether; my opinion isn't worth anything to them and theirs isn't worth anything to me.
Whoever said that NeoGAF was made up of the most conservative liberals on the internet was right.
Hell, Kabouter is still a mod, and he's on record doing the hurrr hurrr anime avatars thing.
As someone who watched a lot of Adult Swim as a teenager, I can confidently say that pretty much any cartoon that dabbles heavily in absurdity or surrealism has been accused of being a "stoner show".

Well that sounds somewhat obtuse but that's exactly what I'd expect from the director of Mōryō no Hako! I really do recommend you check out his work in the anime series which adapted a number of classic Japanese literary texts, Aoi Bungaku. He directed episode 9 - 10 which was an adaptation of Run, Melos!. It's pretty great.
