My Times At Penny Arcade Cult

Hugh Hefner

Only yesterday did I sign up to the fan forum of Penny Arcde, Penny Arcade Cult. I'm already like the most hated person on the freakin' forum. Whatever you do on this forum don't express opinions contrary to those who, ya know, have a computer.

This is my introduction thread.

This is my first proper thread.

Suddenly people just jumped on me for any reason they had. They allow swearing and personal abuse on this forum so you can imagine the scenario. I strongly reccommend you have nothing to do with this forum apart from maybe a thread telling them all off for their behaviour.

If any good thing came from my experience there it's that now I have a renewed thankfulness and respect for the moderation of boards.ie and it's rules. Also for the mostly friendly people on boards.ie.

Rhyme

Oh man, im totally signing up there later on and ripping the s**t out of those nasty people, those kind of replies terribly nice at all.

ill either be 'Rhyme' or 'Zatsugaku' on there, watch me get ripped apart.

tman

...
you made an introduction thread and you're wondering why they picked on you

super_furry

Well, what else did you expect when you made such infantile posts? And coming here for back-up wasn't the best idea either.

Giblet

Wow, it's like a crappy rip off of Something Awful, except it recycles 2 year old jokes.

Yeah it's probably because you posted an Introduction thread, most places don't like them.


HAHA they even slag people who sign their posts, COMPLETE SA RIP OFF EVEN DOWN TO THE EMOTICONS WHICH WERE CREATED BY SA

Hugh Hefner

The thread was in the introduction forum so....

Oh I'm not looking for back-up, I was just making a joke.
The only post I made that I'll let you call infantile was the first one in the proper thread and I was trying to make fun of Sony and Microsoft.

Giblet

Yeah you should probably slag them by saying that most of the posters there are the rejects who got banned from SA for not being funny and using catchphrases, because it's true.

Making an introduction thread and presenting your self as a Nintendo fanboy. Then making a thread with stupid reasons why you think Microsoft/Sony "lick themselves" is not a good way to start on a forum.

I'm not suprised TBH.

Hugh Hefner

Maybe, but you can't say I deserved the tirade I received.

tman

this is the internet... get over it :rolleyes:

simu

Don't you just love us nice boardsie people now?!

Sand

Maybe, but you can't say I deserved the tyraid I received.

Whose to say you didnt? Introduction posts are ponce to begin with .... "Hi Im so and so, like you ****ing care". And your first post was practically designed to attract hate mail. You were even warned in the introduction thread.

Either way, the bottom line is that people on the internet, who you dont know, who youll never meet, whose opinions you dont ( or shouldnt, at least) consider important dont like you. Why do you care?

shut up you cocksprout!

koneko

Ah man, no offense, but that was bound to happen, and if you've spent any time on msg boards you should know that. Introduction posts are what middle-aged women do. You should know from reading PA that those type of forums aren't going to be a love-in. It's full of angry nerds.

Hugh Hefner

Lol.

Alright fair enough. But a warning to others: Don't go there.

po0k

Hef, learn to spell 'tirade'.

You bloody amadán.

Crash

Actually these are the friendliest forums ever invented. people can bitch and whine but at least most of us are vaguely pleasant.











Cocktard.

Thorbar

God I miss the good old days of the cs board, then we had a forum worthy of striking fear deep into the souls of newbies.

Crash

see the one i had was #fortress.ie - being 15 and having to deal with Logic and shinji was just funny :P

Crucifix

I think considering the posts the responses were to be expected. Although on the second one there's some good points amid the crap.

If you posted "P.S. Nintendo rocks and Sony/Microsoft lick themselves" here, you'd get the same reaction - and you would be called a fanboy.

And if you were to post your second topic "On "Why Sony/Microsoft lick themselves"" I would have banned you for a week for using (very stupid and) libelous claims (ok mainly because they were stupid) that most importantly retracted from your arguments and made sure proper debate was never going to happen.

(to add to this - I left the computer on early but had to go...)

Quite simply the rules here do not allow you to rant on about...

Ahhh the eternal question: “Why do Sony and Microsoft lick themselves?”. Could it be that they both have itches? Who knows? Could it be that they release A-sexual pheromones? Quite possibly. But what if the there’s a different reason? What if… they were both crappy?

and

Well I think it’s pretty obvious as to why Microsoft and Sony lick themselves: THEY ARE THE END ALL **** STAINS OF THE INDUSTRY. Well... maybe EA ties , but don’t get me started on EA.

On sony...

- "Increase graphic capability until we get 4 dimensions."

New consoles = new money!

- "Steal game series."

People like them!

- "Put little effort into making original games therefore insulting gamers."

Thank you for speaking on behalf of us all!

- "Think up new yet meaningless slogan."

PR/marketing is something Sony is very good at, jellous?

- "Pump lots of money into a system which is unoriginal and which we make a relatively big loss on each unit sold."

Remind me who is selling how many home consoles.

- "Lick selves."

Childish!


On Microsoft...

- "Get designers who mess up Xbox. (e.g. Controller size.)"

They fit my (adult) hands quite well.

- "Try to buy out competitor Nintendo instead of competing with them."



- "Send babies flying through the air."

Again, childish.

- "MONE, MONEY, MONEY, MONEY, MONEY!!!!!!!!!!"

...in a rich man's world.

- "Lick selves"

:rolleyes:

On Nintendo...

- "Support 3rd party game designers by giving them something to work with which has a little innovation (i.e. DS)"

Sony (and MS, and EA) work with and support third party developers. Everyone has a "little innvation"

- "Create classic characters like Mario, Zelda, Samus, etc."

And Sony and MS havent created such

- "Put primary focus on making enjoyable games with new experiences. (NOTE: Spent $230,000,000 on R&D in the last year. Nearly a 33% increase on the previous year.)"

What was MS and Sony's R&D spending last year?

- "Resist urge to lick selves."

Are you sure?

Jeez i know introduction posts arent exactly the most informative reading, but ffs youd swear he went on the pa forums and said HITLER F*CKED ALL YOUR MOTHERS! I HATE BLACK PEOPLE! YOUR MOTHERS CROTCH SMELLS LIKE A WEEK OLD SOCK STUFFED WITH BRIE!!1 ROFLOLZOR!! SOMETHING ELSE OFFENSIVE!!ONE!!1
I love the sense of elitism these nerds get out of simply being nerds. The ironing is delicious

seamus

You'd get the exact same reaction here, except the mods would stamp on it and close it before it escalated like that.

Their elitism isn't based upon that fact that their nerds its based upon how long they've been part of the forum. You see the exact same thing in most communities on or off line. Boards is no exception, feb98ers are treated with more respect then most and as they should be. Is basically the village eldar scenario but on a much larger scale.

Maybe hefner learned a fairly basic lesson in integrating into a community/society/any social group. Keep your head down for the first while, figure out what's going on and what type of behaviour is acceptable and then act accordingly.

In a nutshell...

He was not picked on beause he stated his opinion but because he introduced himself as a Nintendo fanboy then posted that sony/microsoft lick themselves and used stupid, childish reasons to back that up.

Placebo

yeah but he didnt do it on a MS or Sony forum.
Its an online comic forum, right ?

Ciaran500

It doesn't matter where he posted it. It does not make the post anymore resonable or correct.

Keep in mind that I didn't start the proper thread until after they started slagging me, in a bid to annoy them more. So it's not like I was going to put much effort into it. Besides, I didn't really want to get into a discussion about MS or Sony but I was driven to it by their tirade. I only put the "P.S." comment at the bottom of my post to show where I stood. Besides I don't mind being called a Nintendo fanboy. After all, why would a fan of a certain thing take insult to being called a fan of that thing when they obviously take pride in it? It doesn't make any sense calling someone a fanboy when they obviously are and don't deny it.

Ciaran500

I think you have the wrong meaning of fanboy. Your are just a fan, but your comments were like a fanboys.

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=fanboy&r=f
" 8. fanboy
In the video game world, a person who desperately prefers one system over others, and will hate every other without reason."

I preferred this variation of Fanboy from the urbandictionary link above.

A gamer who maintains loyalty to one system no matter what. Video game system FanBoys hate systems that are not their own. FanBoys are annoying and refuse to conceed to valid points made in defence of other consoles, and talk about their console of choice as if it is the only logical choice. AKA Eric
'My friend, Eric, goes by the alias 'Nintendofreak' and insists that the world would end without Nintendo. What a fanboy. He needs to just simmer and realise that there are games on other systems worth playing, regardless of what circuit board or buttons are running it.'

Hef, people hold fanboys in varying degrees of contempt. Fans support or enjoy some product and/or service, fanboys attack all other products and/or service in some sort of cosmic battle that will decide the fate of humanity. Jumping on and declaring yourself a fanboy and *not* expecting contempt to be registered is a bit mad. Anyway, being a console fanboy is pointless. All consoles suck donkey balls. Buy a PC. PC roxorz all. Consoles ....are....eh something ..... unpleasant - Ah you get the point Im making.

Hugh Hi! Hey, did you read any other posts before posting? If the one video game forum and waffle didn't appeal to you, then why did you join? You posted a strong opinion and then expected not to defend it? What is that? Good sense of humor by the way. The profanity complaint was priceless BTW, Wich Olsen twin are you Mary Kate or Ashley? hmmmmm.
