I own the SNES hoodie and have ordered the poster and new hoodie. I can't speak for non-clothing, but the first hoodie arrived fairly quickly and in good condition.

I don't expect that on Gaf, heck I've only been here for a few months and even then I stick here mostly, I expect that everywhere. I don't want to be spoiled on anything. Ever. I assume most people don't either.

There's a doc floating around somewhere and you can check profiles (like mine) that have their NNID listed. There's no need for an exchange like that of Friendercodes, it's more similar to PSN/XBL where they just have to confirm after you've sent the request
Thank God. Seriously. Welcome to the internet age, Nintendo.
Seems pretty good. Thanks.
Tbh, it was a knee jerk post about general spoilers. i made it a bigger deal when it should've been even though it wasnt even a major point in your post. Sorry. :/
Yeah... But if people dont even play p4u or even know about those they arent spoiled. They also never explicitly say who he is, only in the trailer and game.
I don't think it's reasonable to have everyone else cater to you. Sure, people should be mindful but don't try and stretch that patience.
Edit: I should go to bed.
I think they were hoping we would forget about it
You really shouldn't encourage me, you should be saying things like "nobody thinks it's funny anymore"or "now you're tryie to hard"
You're missing my point, of course you dont want to be spoiled, but you shouldn't get angry at people who accidentally spoil something old for you.
If you were walking by a group of people discussing a game you wanted to play that's been out for 3 years and you overheard a spoiler, are you going to yell at them about it? No, because they had every right to discuss that game in as much detail as they wanted.
If someone, on the other hand, knows full well you are going to play that game soon and then they tell you something important, then you have the right to be mad.
Pretty much this.
Jeez, even Pat's in there!

He ain't shilling like he used to back in the day...
The world is set up so well that it's not impossible for anything to happen, since it can be "easily" justified. Except when a wooden sword can break a bridge in half. The running jokes arent too out of taste either. Although with english translation it's hard to get the speech jokes of -aru or word play.. i'm butt hurt over the wordplay on a personal level.
The art is also something worth mentioning. It's not the cutesy art of norm as of late even though it's a fairly old manga. It's also not a major emphasis of the manga.
I love the little extra panels with the author and really shows off his personality.
Edit: wow. There's a lot of tbf fans on that thread.. why dont they post more in here... We probably scare them off ;_;

What's the game and spoiler in question people are talking about here?
I guess it's a personal thing then because when I was much younger I was horrible with spoilers and I was always berated for it, so now I try to refrain from spoilers as much as possible and I would only spoil something if the person I am talking to has explicitly said they are okay with me saying so

I believe its the culprit of P4?
It was Dark Souls. Which is admittedly pretty innocuous and aged as far as spoilers are concerned. I just think it's good to be mindful of these things generally.
I was spoiled on The Walking Dead Season 2 a while back by a few folks.
Yeah people were just posting pictures of spoilers then, pretty bad.

No the original one that started the discussion was Zen getting spoiled on Gwyn from DS1. We didn't start talking about the podcast until later and even then it was just for examples

My Mii name is Joe, but my NNID is M.D.Smith. You want the NNID. And while it doesn't necessarily mean that they have Smash now, that might not be the case in the future.
I do, but I'm going to doing that at my anime club tonight

I guess that kinda is a spoiler, but the
serpent guy
final boss.
It got pretty bad with all the kenny discussion.
The final boss is not a huge spoiler is it? I feel like it is, since usually it's set up as a reveal that surprises you or answers your doubts. I made it a bigger deal than it should've been honestly.

Culprit of P4 is kind of absurd to get mad about now, considering Ultimax is a god damn fighting game and the Culprit is a fighter and it's a canon sequel.
What was the Dark Souls spoiler? Because that game came out like, 3 years ago, had several ports, and isn't a story focused game. As far as I'm concerned that game is borderline unspoilable anyway. As for Walking Dead, that's trickier, especially if it's in this topic because we did do a full LP, so assuming you watch the show it's kind of assumed.
I remember a discussion on Giantbomb about spoilers, Jeff put forth that the statute is like...2 months. If you don't care enough about the game to get to it in 2 months, then you shouldn't care enough to be mad about spoilers. I agree with the sentiment, but certainly not the timeframe. I say maybe...a year. Tops. It helps that I used to be spoiler crazy but just gradually stopped caring once I realized it was very rare that it affected my enjoyment, unless it was some kind of twist ending or something. I'm playing Baldurs Gate 1 right now and I know about the whole premise/secret with your main character from ages ago, but that games fucking 15 years old so how can it bother me?
I would love too but I have to wake up early in the morning. Maybe tomorrow night.
I was posting about Jeff's disdain over Demon Souls in GBCast and I was talking about people not really enjoying games in ways I kind of wished they did and at the end of my post I was talking about Gwyn not really disappointing me as a final boss, and it ended up being a spoiler for someone.
That's how the whole discussion triggered anyway.

Two months is bullshit because I haven't played the Walking Dead season 2 and I want to wait for the full disc version. Why does me being frugal invalidate any want to not be spoiled?
Some people avoid some of your LPs because of that. And I think 2 months is really short, not all of us have the means to get a game within 2 months.
Sick not shilling post on the LP thread, pat.
Well, we can talk about it now. It's hard for everyone to have the same mentality playing a game, so it's easy for everyone to have different experiences with enjoying a game. For an extreme absurd example: an orphan will have a different connection about a game where the mc is a kid with a family than a kid with a family playing that same game.

You do realize Pat also disagreed with 2 months.
A year however, seems reasonable and respectful
Ah, i also missed that when i first read it.
If you missed it pat said he dissagrees with the timeframe.
Edit: did you try persona q yet or did you only care about the cards?
The Dark Souls spoiler was about Gwyn being a final boss or something. Again, it threads the line of what is actually a spoiler, and I don't think that specific spoiler is really the center of the discussion.
As for The Walking Dead Season Two, I do get that. I fully expect there to be discussion of the game, and I also recognize the risks involved in me not playing it right away and participating in a discussion in this thread. I just think that it calls for spoiler tags. It's a brand new ass game and I think people should try their best to be considerate for other people.
2 months from Jeff is absolutely preposterous. To reiterate from before, people have lives and there are a fuckton of games out there. I tend to be more liberal with my use of spoiler tags, and extend it over a few years. Specific twists, reveals, bosses, I won't discuss at all without spoiler tags because you never know who is reading the conversation. Everyone has different standards, but I will always err on the side of caution if I am able to.

I wasn't replying to Pat saying that, I was disagreeing with that Jeff guy and tying it to another part of Pat's post
My main point was that some people skip out on LPs of plot heavy games. A lot of people in the thread hadn't played TWD Season 2 and wouldn't watch the LP until they did.
That's real bullshit right there. I'd throw a fit cause they spoiled me by dispatching games early so that I can get them the day before they come out.

Agreed. That being said, I understand where Jeffs coming from. He went straight from being a kid in an age of simple, easy/quick to beat games in which he'd sell, steal, pirate, whatever, to get his hands on everything and back then you pretty much COULD play everything. Then he went into the games business in like...christ, the mid 90s? So for him, the 2 month period absolutely makes sense in that context, in which his entire life that's been the case, but it's not the case for everybody else. I can certainly understand Jeffs hunger and need for games in his youth, but I used to be spoiler crazy, Woolie too, god, he's still really bad, so I can understand both sides a little more closely. I don't think you should ever go out of your way to spoil shit and observe common courtesy, but there's a point where non-plot critical things or general concepts get to be discussed openly and I think that points about a year in.

PM me. Its in my username.
I know a year works for you, but I also felt bad that we had that FF7 argument and we spoiled some key things about Cloud and the game in general.
So spoilers for spoilers sake is the rule I adhere to. I spoiler tag anything that can be spoiled in a thing.
I just find it can be really simple to avoid spoilers and it can really ruin someones experience. I will always try to avoid spoilers.

Spoilers are different for everyone. Since I don't finish a grand majority of the games that I start, spoilers do not matter to me. I try not to spoil it for everyone else, but still recognize that spoilers are going to be spoilers, and they are everywhere.

LTTP, it's super solid. The game is confusing me as much as it is you in those moments. Playthrough is super fun.

Another thing to consider is that with things like PS Classics and the VC is that many people are going to play old games for the first time. How many actual kids have opened up PS3s and Wiis for Christmas? Do we ignore spoilers because the game is old or do we let them experience it as pure as possible?

I extend the courtesy to those who haven't played a thing on GAF.
I'm not as courteous in person.
If something is floated or discussed in person, expect some spoilers.

The problem is there's no consensus for shit like that. Some people would scream at you that the fact that (MGS2)
Raiden
He practically comes from a different world. Games are his business and livelihood, not just his mainstay hobby (which I guess is the same for you, though not immediately). Not trying to necessarily say that he has all the time in the world to play games, but he has more time than the rest of us. And the resources to do so. Some people have an extremely limited budget, as well.
I think that's also spawned from the front-loaded mentality that gamers and the game industry has for sales/purchasing. We've seen that trend mellow out recently, with long tail sales from word of mouth or cult hits, but we still are very much operating in an industry where the early bird isn't really early at all. The vast majority of sales for most games will always be in the first week.
I generally go for a few years with spoilers. It's a gray area (I keep repeating that, but it's true) depending on the type of game and the plotlines involved. I'm gunshy because I've had a lot of shit spoiled for me over the years, and I don't like the idea of me doing the same to anyone else.
