After finding out the Top 100 NES games article was linked to on the S-A forums, I wanted to go sign up there so I could comment. Then after choosing the "Dr. Jeebus" username, it came to a credit card page. I thought it was a joke, and it isn't. What the fuck? You want me to pay $9.95 so I can come to your forum ONCE and comment on this article with these people? Not a fucking chance. And where do the people on the forums there get their fucking money? I would assume that having a registration fee would keep out the mentally challenged, but it appears as if those were the only people on those boards. They demanded at least 30 games all be in the top 10 (One person even specifically said that all of the top 20 games were top 10 games) as if we can create dozens of new numbers. Sure, if wrote the article under the premise of using a dodecadecimal numbering system then we could fit about half the games they wanted before "10" appeared, but that 10 would come after J, not 9 so then they'd bitch a bout that. They also commented that a lot fo Syd's top 20 worst games made the list, as if the speech at the beginning about 5 people voting and a weighting algorithm had never been said.


In short, if you don't like our list, whether you're from another forum or not, my answer to you is this: make your own fucking list. It's not anywhere near as easy as you fucking think it is.

For once, I completely agree with Jeebus. They're pretty fucking dumb over there. Except for Serialize or whatever the hell his name is. I am also pleasantly surprised to find I'm not the only person who dislikes Legend of Zelda.

I really enjoy how one guy nitpicked that in Blades of Steel I said I played as Hartford. It was Minnesota. I mean, holy shit, working solely on 15 year old memories, how could I have have mixed up the Whalers and the North Stars? I must be an idiot... Rolling Eyes

How the fuck do you get the Whalers and North Stars confused?


There never was an image here, what the fuck are you talking about?

I'm not even as upset about how stupid their comments were as the fact that I'd have to pay to make any sort of retort as I believe whoever suggested that one of them sign up here was sassed for it

You guys are being completely unreasonable. How can you criticize a site's forums for specifically delivering what their name promises.

That's like complaining because omgrofl.com makes you go OMG and then suddenly you're ROFL.

That's why I've never signed up there. No sane person will pay money to post on a messageboard.

Let's see, talk to people in real life for free and talk to people on any other messageboard for free, or pay ten bucks to speak to people on one online forum? Sounds like an easy question to me.

They have a unique blend of hive-mind, bandwagon, elitist bullshit mixed in with a "Hey, I'm so zany and funny, I'll outdo everyone else who posted with an even funnier comment than the last guy!" attitude. All that for 10 bucks!

Whatever, SomethingAwful sucks now anyway. It used to be a site that made me laugh consistantly with their updates but now it's basically become a place where their writers can post stories they wrote about time travelling ice cream men and unicorns that were rejected by their creative writing class instructors down at the learning annex. The only things I read on SomethingAwful anymore are the Photoshop Fridays, Fashion Swat and occasionally Comedy Goldmine. They did away with Cliff Yablonsky Hates You (simple, but pretty fucking funny), they don't do anymore guides (which were also hilarious), no more Leonard J. Crabs, etc. They pretty much cut everything that was funny and replaced it with a bunch of new no talent ass-clown writers, I would say Sydlexia is better than SomethingAwful now.

The front page articles are not funny, they're just a huge waste of time. The theory now is quantity over quality. Like, it's supposed to be funny that they put so much effort towards making 20 pages of a shitty story, but in reality it's just a lexicon of failure and Not-Funny.

No, you didn't. Some of the SL forum members are just predicting there might be one. I doubt it.

Oh, and they're also using unnecessary amounts of emoticons, like so:
