RockyRan Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 (edited) It's so cool to see the people joining that I read comments from for over a year or two. Welcome everybodyyy. Same. Where are all these people coming from? Is the new layout driving (even more) people away from Kotaku? In my case, yes. Though I noticed you left way before then <__< Edited February 11, 2011 by RockyRan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

excaliburps Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 I'll admit I had to do a search cos I know of a 38-ish year old newspaper reporter known as Brian as well (I think most of us here do ) Turns out you're not an alt (also google threw up a comment about you talking about Planescape ) Welcome @excaliburps: Nah I didn't email him after. I kind of decided I didn't want to deal with him at all after I got wind of him stalking my facebook account. Also I have a feeling should I attempt to send an email to them it'll end up auto-filtered into Junk, since Twitter I get this for all but Tottilo: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2066351/Screenshots/owentwitter.JPG Also I guess crecente believing he's more correct than everyone else is a good way to describe it. I went up toe to toe with him regarding the 3DS (this was before release) I managed to highlight all the features it had just by looking at the FCC image (When you see enough electronics guts it starts to become easy to pick up on the basics) and pointed out it had a nub, SD card and the screen was much thinner than their mock up (I even pointed out why it made sense it would be 16:9 not their random ass aspect ratio). And he's all "Well you don't know this, but we have confirmed it". Thing is, I had a pretty damn good guess ( a 100% correct guess shown the next day) and he didn't have it confirmed cos it was still speculation. And they were fucking wrong too. Also on one of his "blood diamonds are making your console" articles(this was my tenure away) one of the guys I know on twitter pointed out that these warlords can't be flying about on Concords cos they've been disbanned since 2003, and quite publicly so(nothings more public than nose diving over Paris), thus throwing his whole articles factual quality into question, or at least making you question if it's actually to do with Wiis or more from the era of PS1 early PS2 and just dug up from the old grave of articles. Of course Crecente replied with his trademark snark. Wait. What do you mean "stalking your Facebook account?" Care to go into details... What snark that Crecente throw back at you? I do remember tipping him about a super-sale in one of the major US outlets. He told me the flyer is most probably a fake and it's an early April Fools joke. Turned out it wasn't. He posted it in Kotaku with no mention of where he got it. That, and I was a bit appalled at how he handled the GOTY Black Ops shenanigans. I mean people who didn't like his pick seemed to be getting the unstarring, banning that they didn't deserve, I know of one particular guy who got sent to the cornfield because of an innocent comment about it. Even the other editors was a bit miffed that Black Ops was even in the running. I actually got into a mini discussion with Plunkett about it and he didn't hold back. One of the few instances where we agreed on one thing. Which reminds me. I tipped a couple of things about BF3. This was last week or this week. Did not get a response. Did not get a post. But every CoD lucky kills montage, map pack info, etc. gets posted? WTF? Seems like because he (Crecente) is a huge fan of CoD, we're subjected to read about it more than other high-profile games. And it's not like people aren't excited about Battlefield 3 either. Their last post about it garnered a ton of views, comments and a lot of positive feedback. So, I take it if an editor drops by here and sees any of us talking trash we're going to be banned there? Did they ban your account again?

excaliburps Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 Hey Peeps! I'm also from Kotaku. Some people here might remember me as I've been with Kotaku for a very long time. More than 6 years if I'm not mistaken. So, how are things here? Anything I need to know? Are most of the members from Kotaku? I'm getting quite lost at the moment to be honest. Oh, and anyone of the editors from Kotaku go here? That can be both a good, and bad thing. Hey, it's that guy! I'm the one who was raging over BC2 (There could be a lot of those guys? I dunno). Welcome. Haha! There are a lot of people raging over BC2. I'm one of 'em. What was your Kotaku handle? Thanks for the welcome! Just glad to be able to talk to the community without having to resort using that site. UGH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spamps Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 (edited) Hey it's excaliburps and rockyran! what's up dudes edit: I was in chat earlier, people were asking me who I was. I remember the rise of deanbmmv from nobody to stardom, to unstarred, to starred, to unstarred, and perhaps maybe one more star, and then the final unstarring. Member since the days of "send your comment with the box and your email address, hope we like it."

Johnny Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 Heh, we were kinda joking. I recall me asking you to share you whole life story A lot of us may no longer go to kotaku as much/at all, so there's no guarantee we'll know you because you're from there =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just glad to be able to talk to the community without having to resort using that site. UGH. Aha, I just use my facebook. I've been trying to change the name for ages. I've seen people on Gizmodo using a facebook login with something other than their name as a username, but it never works for me. Oh well. I was David Fretwell.

I don't remember how often I've unhearted you for your Nintendo rants, only to see one of your other comments a day later and heart you again. I kind of gradually left the site, because most of the funny people were hanging around on the forums. And now I can't seem to login at Kotaku at all anymore... Meh. Whatever.

TheForgetfulBrain Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 (edited) I'm too lazy to ever go on Steam chat, or the Forum chat, unless I'm playing a game that necessitates such communication. Too many messages, moving too quickly! Forum pace suits me better. Also: "Most members ever online in one day was 110, last accomplished on Feb 11 2011." The forum is exploding lately! (In a good way) Yayy. Edited February 11, 2011 by TheForgetfulBrain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTF Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 Hi, I'm WhatTheFrag on Kotaku (had a myriad of ids before that, I forgot most of them). I think I signed up for the old boards as NotTheFace too. Recently turned 30. Work as a DoP/AP/AD quite a lot amongst other things. I'm sure I know some of you from the place of K and some of you might know me or not. If ever my wordy long posts or replies took too much of your time I apologise. But at least I hope I'm coherent. P.S. I forgot to sign up for this place, despite getting the email about the forum moving. H_H reminded me of this place the other day on TAY.

Papu Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 Hello everyone! I thought it would be good to introduce myself, so here we go. I'm Jaakko from Finland and I'm 17 years old. I live with my parents, my brother and my two cousins. Obviously I love video games, but I also enjoy reading books, Listening to music, watching movies, drawing, roleplaying and doing other awesome things. And of course I love hanging out with my awesome friends, because when I'm with them all the awesome things I do become even more awesome, so it's like Supawesome. Yeah...and there is also a lot of things which I hate, but let's not talk about those things. My first gaming experience was at the age of 5 or 6. I was watching my brothers playing Super Mario World. Back then I only wanted to watch them play, but as the time went by I realized that playing myself is even more fun. Good times, and that's where it all began for me...<3 My favorite games are probably the whole MGS series(I especially love MGS 3), Shadow of the colossus, Super Mario World, LoZ Wind Waker(IMO it has the best Link too. I just love the facial expressions that he makes, they add a lot of character to the otherwise non-talking brat that link is. And Ganondorf is so awesome in WW too.), Mass effect 1&2 are also really great(I just love the universe Bioware has created). Ahhh.....I know there are lots of other stupendous games that should be in this short "list" of mine, but I'm too lazy to think right now. I'm tired.....probably because I just wrestled with a couple of polar bear-friends of mine. What an awesome day this has been. Lastly I want to say that I look forward to participating in conversations here in TAY with all you awesome people. Yeah I think this post is Finnished now. Cheers . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 An MGS fan huh? I dunno if he's still playing it (he seems to have moved onto Jade Empire) but Jalaman has been streaming MGS4 as of late, could be worth a watch for you. Also nice ending there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
