Teh VITA

Yeah, taking Ark too serious = fail
Yeah, game snack = win
Yeah, shake your hands.

Ah, so I shouldn't ban self-admitted jackasses.  I see.  If he attacked anyone like that before outside of Fighting Street, then I likely didn't see it.  He did take to Facebook to insult me further, though.  Kind of like Nintega with the off-site trolling except that he gave up after 2 messages instead of about 4 or 5 and limited it Facebook instead of Youtube.  Apparently he and I were friends on Facebook, likely because I had no clue what his real name was.  Still pretty sad, though.  He just needs to learn to breath before he posts, especially when he makes a big deal out of something I joked about originally.  We really shouldn't be bending the rules for him and it rather saddens me that some here think otherwise.  It makes this place more of a clique.

There has been far worse let slide for years (Zetas blanket bashings/name calling for starters)...and many other similar rants that have went on far longer than a simple half sentence.

[Joe Redifer]

You're probably right.  I'm don't think the past is a reason to let things slide now, though.  Also, there is a report button.  We can't see every post.

No just seems VERY arbitrary (plus out of the blue). Many people have gotten warnings (some multiple) before a lightning fast ban hammer.


I pretty much only use the report button for spam/true trolling/scams...enough attention from everyone is usually shown to anything else needed.

[Joe Redifer]

A warning to Arkhan would be like trying to dry up a lake with a towel.  I don't think he'd care or take it seriously.  I do see where you are coming from, though.

That was a personal attack in a non-Fighting Street thread and frankly I am sick of your constant shit.  Take two weeks off.  Anyone want to whine about what I did, contact Aaron at pcefx@pcenginefx.com.  He reads it.  Whining to me will change nothing.

OK; I won't whine, I'll just simply question the validity of your banning Arkhan.

The perceived personal "attack" of being called a pussy a single time is something that, If I were in your shoes and had reported that to a moderator via said report button, would have been laughed out of the inbox and deleted without a second thought.

It certainly would have been more appropriate, Joe. You pretty much instabanned him after he said one remotely inflammatory comment; there was no warning, and no explanation. I can think of at least a dozen instances where people have name-called seriously or in jest when they have disagreed with him over an issue. As a mod, yes you have to keep the peace, but what you did was a flagrant abuse of power, and simply unfair regardless of how much of an assclown Arkhan happened to be at the moment.

[Joe Redifer]

Actually you are whining to me (and there was plenty of explanation).  I'll no longer discuss this.  So you all may now commence the circle jerk about my actions to each other or inform Aaron of my dastardly ways.  To be honest I don't care tremendously much for this particular community, it's very ugly (with some exceptions, of course).  Only a step above the Neo Geo forums.  Don't like me being a mod?  Speak to the man who matters.  E-mail link is above, don't be afraid to use it.

[blueraven]

I know that you're fond of throwing up the scarecrows (straw men) when people call you out, but bagging on the community is just uncalled for, dude.

Very poor taste.

Ark, why did you hack into Joe's account and make this post? You know that inflammatory stuff like this is simply going to upset Joe further. Come on, let's work together to make this place a brighter, happier place.



We need some peace, love and harmony right now, motherf*ckers.

[fragmare]

Ark's just Ark... He's an abrasive ass-hat, but that's part his charm.  He likes it when you take what he gives out and throw it right back at him.  I mean REALLY likes it.  Like, *sits around in a dark rooom late at night with a bottle of lotion and his tightie whities around his ankles while poring over PCEFX posts and IRC logs* likes it.  Plus he lives in Cleveland, so he sees the sun maybe 3 times a year, tops.  At least it's not Detroit!  lol

[nodtveidt]

What a jackass. And I wasn't talking about Arkhan. You wanna ban me too?

[geise]

So...anybody else buying a Vita? 

[SignOfZeta]

Well, I could buy a Vita now, deal with shit battery life and loads of inexcusable problems and jack squat for software and then put it in a drawer when Vita Lite comes out...

...or I could just wait and buy the Vita Lite which will end up being better hardware, cheaper, and have the superior software selection that comes with the wait.

I bought the 2000 series PSP after it had been out for a while. It's way thinner than the original model, has a better screen, doesn't have the "auto ejection UMD chucking feature", doesn't have a square button that gets stuck under the screen. I also got a choice of colors. Also, by the time I bought the thing there were dozens of great games for it, as opposed to the fairly horrible first two or three years.

This is the same reason I skipped the 3DS. By the time the 3DS Lite comes out it will be SUCH a better value. I guess I've been doing this video game thing for some long that I know when to not buy something just because its new...and it pays off. Not every single evolution of hardware is %100 better than the one before in every way (ie: the PSOne leaves off several features present on the original Playstation, so did the PSTwo) but its usually worth the sacrifice, and the software is always better.

Arkam seems to hate the shit out of the Wii only because because he was once excited about it and the lack of good soft for the first year. I bought mine like a year and a half ago and I think its really fun. Gamers in general put WAY too much emphasis on meaningless politics that have nothing to do with anything but loyalty and just...picking sides. If you want to avoid Apple products because they are made by Chinese slaves, good, that's great, but if you avoid them because "Apple is for fags" then just go f*ck yourself, please.

Recent software updates on the PS3: These are f*cking bullshit. First off, yeah, the do only come about 4 times a year, but the f*cking system doesn't get turned on more than four times a year because its has jack shit for games. What I love is when I download a game from the store and I have to update it before I even f*cking run it...for the first time! A game I downloaded 1 minute ago! WTF is that shit?

Why is it that I can buy Super Mario Galaxy for Wii and the game runs flawlessly from day one forever despite being on a read-only DVD that cannot ever be patched? Why is Nintendo the only publisher left with the skills to actually FINISH a f*cking game and the confidence to see it as such?

The most significant PS3 update recently was the one that ads a Nintendo-style health and safety warning to the boot screen and makes you sign a new PNS EULA absolving Sony of any personal info of yours they might accidentally share with hackers. This is TOTALLY f*ckING INEXCUSABLE and they, hilariously, ARE BEING SUED FOR IT in return. The reason hackers are running wild on Sony's ass in the first place is because of their massively overblown legal division suing the shit out of everyone everywhere. The games they could be making with the money they are wasting on lawyers...

BTW, people who can't take the attitude around here are f*cking pussies. If you want to have a fully civil forum go some place sucky with loads of mods. I'd rather be flamed to hell and back here and NG.com than deal with the f*cktards at gameFAQs or wherever. That being said...I realize a lot of shit goes on behind the scenes. People are stalking other people, sending crazy PMs, making psychotic YouTube videos, eBay, impersonating people on Facebook, and shoutbox...oh that f*cking shoutbox. That thing was used for sooooo much shit talking about people when they weren't looking. So basically I don't know anything other that what actually appears in forum posts (and I can't even read all of those) so I can't knowledgeably comment on that sort of extracurricular activity. Likewise, there isn't any more to my PCEFX existence than what you see here on the forum. If I call you an a$$hole it will be right here in print, and so will all the reasons I called you an a$$hole (assuming you didn't edit your old posts like a f*cking pussy).

Ark has been kind of impossible lately, I have to admit. My only problem with Joe is that I can never tell if he's being serious or not. Ever. EVER. Its a wonderful as a defense mechanism (What, you thought I was serious? Come on. No, I'm kidding. No, seriously, I'm serious. But I kid. Not really. But I do. Its a joke, or maybe for real) but an impediment to actual conversation or even communication.

[nectarsis]

To be honest I don't care tremendously much for this particular community, it's very ugly (with some exceptions, of course).  Only a step above the Neo Geo forums.

I really hope this isn't part of a serious post, as it smacks of elitism/asshattery, and frankly a shitty attitude for anyone (ESPECIALLY a mod).  I never understood any of these people that bash the site/members, but continue to stick around, or come back...if you dislike the place so much leave, and don't bother coming back.....or would that kill the "fun" in complaining about/bashing this place?
