Why did you come here instead of Neogaf? At least they let you have fun there.

I can't tell when I'm kidding anymore.

On another note, why has nobody made a joke where a soldier notices Snake in a box and then someone edits in the Brad Pitt line from Seven?

So do we put them on a train headed for the Slovenian border? That's what my country does.

Also, did you just call us 'Pists? That sounds like a weird skin condition. "Mom, I'm having the pists again! -Eww. Stay away from me!"

I'm Musou Tensei, just be aware that I'm not here to make friends, I'm just following the herd since I have been a GT member since 2007. I'm a german 33 years old gamer with a collection of over 1000 original physical games from NES till current gen, I'm also an ex Nintendo fanboy since december 2015, I despise censorship, cultural marxism, sjws, and amiibi.
I don't adapt to the sensitivities of others, I usually type what I think, I'm the polar opposite of safe spaces, my name alone should function as trigger warning.
I'm also a weeaboo, it is no insult for me.
I'm a misanthrope, I don't really like humans, I prefer cats before humans.
I'm aromantic, I have never felt romantic affection towards others, I have no plans to reproduce, be thankful for that.
Lewd is gewd, tits are life and ass is hometown.
I'm an atheist, all gods are fake. I was raised as evangelic christian but believe it or not, when I found out that Santa isn't real I started questioning everything, and so far no one was able to proof the existence of a god to me.
As a german I see what you did there OP.
I'm a victim of bullying, yet I believe that, as long you don't tell others to physically hurt, kill and/or destroy, everyone should be able to say whatever they want, without having to fear to lose their job or worse.
I'm colorblind, I judge people solely by their actions, not their gender, sexuality or race.
I think people put way too many private information online, it's a golden rule for me to not do that, on the internet I am Musou Tensei. Though even if you would know my real name, you won't find me without actually tracking my IP, I consider myself pretty much undoxable.
I'm a very angry person, but even with my utmost contempt for humans, I consider myself a real life pacifist, I have never caused injuries to others. I would suggest though to never give me a loaded gun.
I don't like children and teenagers.
I havn't vomitted since I was 16 and ill, I have never smoked and never drank alcohol, and I don't plan to.
I lean towards the MRM and the alt right.
I don't care who becomes the next president as long it's not Hillary.
I never voted for Merkel's party. She needs to go.
Meat eater.
I cried when Iwata died.
My prefered pronouns are normal ones that normal people use for normal males.
My favorite movie is Ghostbusters, the real one.
My favorite game is Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon
My favorite TV show is Stargate SG-1
My favorite anime is Fist of the North Star
My favorie cartoon is Invader Zim
I think most modern AAA games are garbage.
I think that the Treehouse should be shut down.
Also I think that the concept of localization should be abolished and replaced with translations as close to the original as possible.
I don't think diversity and inclusivity in games is important, the last thing I want is to identify with a game character. Racism and sexism in games are overblown non issues, I think that fiction should be allowed to do and show everything the creators want, every game should have the right to exist without censorship, no matter how "offensive" they are, from Gone Home to Rapelay. We have age ratings for a reason.
The industry and businesses should finally accept the AO rating.
I'm working on my own game and I guess it will offend some people.
Iris Heart is best CPU.
The standard answers for when someone says "that offends me" should be: "So?" "No one cares" and "Sucks to be you".
I think all universities in the US should be shut down.
I believe that there is constant alien activity in our solar system.
Changing the race and/or gender of already existing characters insted of creating new ones is the most laziest shit.
If I would list you popular movies I have never seen, you would probably headdesk yoursef into a coma, but I'm simply not a movie guy.
I stopped watching TV a few years ago.
And last but not least, fuck summer, fuck temperatures over 20?C.

Hello and thanks for the welcome! I'm a 21 year old little boy from Sweden and I came here because other people from GT came here, it looks like the GT forums and apparently I already have an account here for some reason I can't remember.

The users of the Escapist are properly referred to as 'Pists. We get good and pissed about stuff. When the ME3 ending happened, we were 'Pist.

I appreciate an influx of refugees, though the loss of their home saddens me. Still I'm happy we can get more people here, considering there's plenty of room after the mass exodus a certain nontroversy caused.
Happy to have new folks to converse with, especially ones who actually want to talk about games and surrounding nerd culture stuff.

Call me cynical, but GT was dying anyway and this forum was in dire need of some more traffic. So, to me, it seems like it was in Defy's best interest to consolidate their gaming forum userbase onto one site. Makes sense.

Welcome GTers.
Man I wish some of the content providers from that site would come here.

...Well, I'm from 4Chan, can I still claim refugee status? It'll look good on my paperwork, I swear.

...and to keep with the OP, I came here from 4chan 'cause I got sick of all the bullshit. And then I discovered that 'Games Industry Discussion' Forum here.

So.

Yeah.

Totally worth the move.

[sub]though not going to lie, I like the Channers more than whatever the fuck is going down in that sub-forum. At least a Channer will call you a prick to your face.[/sub]

...you know, I have to ask, but if you hold people in contempt... why on EARTH are you here, on a forum, where you regularly have to interact with people?

Like, not having a go at you, it's just I've never, ever understood the whole 'I don't like people or want to make friends, so I'm going to interact with people constantly' thing that people keep doing on the internet. Is it like one of those Arachnophobia things where if you keep handling the thing you don't like you'll get over your dislike and start liking it?

*Looks at your join-date*
4Chan still exists?!
I thought Reddit ate it in 2009 when people realized they could get their funny memetic images in a place that didn't require digital purell for every trip.

Yeah, it's still around, though I've never understood the weird reputation people give it. There's a lot of '3edgy5me' people there who think being a dickhead is 'cool', but some of the boards had people who weren't shitheads, who were alright to hang around.

I hung out there - mostly in /tg - for ages, but everyone I used to talk to moved on to greener pastures or stopped visiting, so I figured I'd bail as well. 8chan is full of people I hate and Reddit is either dead or Edgy, so I came here because I remembered Jim (motherfucking) Sterling used to contribute here and figured it'd be worth a look.

[sub]and have you seen some sub-reddits? Even 4chan at it's pinnacle of shit was never that bad, holy shit![/sub]

I've not been here long myself, and I'm not as active as I'd like to be. I still welcome any newcomers, I've found this to be a good place to lurk, and occasionally post. There are some loud complainers, but almost everyone seems to be having a good time, and it's easy to avoid the bad patch.

Honestly I really like a lot of them and you want to know why? They talk about video games and movies and entertainment and don't yell at you for disagreeing with them, don't straw men you and are pretty friendly and stay far away from the gender politics threads.

There was a thread talking about Nintendo direct and was one the nicest threads I read in awhile. So I welcome the refugees.
Wait, a Nintendo thread that was nice? What is this madness?

OT: I for one welcome them. They've kinda kicked up some traffic again and they're making threads that remind me of the day I joined. *Stares wistfully into the distance*

Sorry, I should have said Real Life People. The thing is, on the internet I have absolute control over if I want to interact, for me you are all just words, if that makes sense, I decide if and when I listen to you, I decide if and when I talk to you, and if I'm sick of interaction I can leave whenever I want and come back whenever I want.
The contempt thing is a generalization of mankind as a whole, there are of course people I like and respect, several game devs like Takaki or Kamiya and their teams or Youtubers like Sargon of Akkad, Thunderf00t, raocow or NakaTeleeli, my only RL friend I know since childhood, my mom and dad and my brother, but the vast majority of strangers on the streets, celebrities, politicians, and of course SJWs can kinda go to detroit for all I care.

MADNESS?! That is GameTrailers!
I hope you're proud of yourself.

I was pretty upset, until I saw that this site looks almost exactly like GameTrailers. Mostly it seems to trade console wars for political wars, which to me seems like an even trade. I can work with this.

This thread is way too happy and welcoming. Needs a fair dose of curmudgeonry.



You damn GiTs (see what I did there hur hur)! Bringing your... whatever it is you do and think you can just prance around. We used to stack fucks like you 5 feet high during the GamerGate wars, use you for strawmen to ignore other people's viewpoints. Get the fuck out of here, you don't belong on this forum! You don't know what true hate is like. You didn't see the fake girl gamer threads or the Sarkeesian hurricane of 2012. You didn't have to live through the hell that was brony wars or the reigns of terror of EternalNothingness, Sun-Hwan or Zeel. You know what it feels like to see another thread about Sarkeesian every day for a whole year? Well it feels fucking awful, that's what it is.

Now that I'm done making lame ass references to Gran Torino, I welcome our new members. Just try to keep the console wars down, would ya? Some of us aren't quite as spry and need to be in bed at 10 (I'm allowed to talk like this due to my join date).
