I'm Back! What have I missed?

[Lt._nefarious]

Good evening ladies and gentlemen of the Escapist, jeez, it's been a while hasn't it? Not sure if you guys remember me, sort of left you guys for a while, had lots going on in my love life and education so sorry 'bout that. But I'm back, and this time I'm here to stay!

I'm really just wanting to ask what's changed while I've been gone, must have been around 4 months. Any new rules or what have you, or fun things I missed?

 

[Fiz_The_Toaster]

Oh, you were gone?

[sub][sub]I kidding! [/sub][/sub]

Nothing really. That is, unless, you don't count the massive shit storm that was the GTA V review here.

I've been in a bunker. Where it's safe, and has liquor and burritos.

 

[shrekfan246]

All of the fun got siphoned away.

It was because of you, Lt_nefarious.

You killed the fun.

I hope you're happy.

In all seriousness, it's been pretty much standard procedure around here; Something insignificant happens, people get outraged over it, people get outraged at the outraged people, internet slapfights ensue, the rest of us look on and facepalm.

I hope you like feminism.
And countless.
COUNTLESS.
FUCKING.
POINTLESS.
ARGUMENTS.

Occasionally we talk about videogames too.

He asked what did he miss, not what he left behind.
But yeah, pretty much this. Sometimes you get into an argument and a discussion about games breaks out.

OH!
White Guy Defence Force happened too. Thank Critical Miss for those wonderful few days.

I don't know who you are, how active you were, when you left, or anything about you at all.

But welcome back.

I run the site now It's pretty much the same as it ever was.

I was going to post "Once in a lifetime" by the Talking Heads but youtube seems to hate anything that isn't a sub par remix.

If you left before June 3rd of this year, then you missed my lackluster glorious debut on these forums.

Does anyone really miss anyone on a forum?

 

[Evil Smurf]

Why did you leave? all the house plants died.

 

[Ihateregistering1]

Lots of people said "strawman".
Lots of people sarcastically said the phrase "oppressed white male"
A bunch of people were offended about a bunch of stuff.
Anita Sarkeesian is evil incarnate or an Angel from heaven, or both, after 5000 posts about her I was confused.
There was a lot of recommendations for games on GOG.

I think that about wraps it up...

I miss Aylaine.

*Sob*

OT: You haven't really missed anything. General forum climate's been pretty awful since around May of this year (estimation). Not sure what it is but fun discussions have all but vanished and people have been doing little more than argue. I've been hiding in user groups and the RP subforum for awhile now >.>

 

[Drummodino]

I've resumed active posting but I'm not frequent enough to really notice

Greg Tito is the new kingpin around here.

I'd miss myself :'(

OT: You missed me feeding my sister's cat and cleaning out the litter box, which then promptly remained clean because the cat decided to poop right outside of it.

I thought she came back?
Did she leave again?

OP: Welcome back!

Yes.
This.

It's just, this place just isn't that great for escaping the mundanity and trivial bullshit we go through day in day out anymore.
Infact, it's worse than ever, the more I see pointless arguments and shit about feminism, the more I want to blow my fucking brains out.
But then a gun violence/control thread will appear and I don't want to be responsible.

Been too long since there's been anything worth remembering.

Oh, and welcome back OP, I don't remember you, but it's good to have you back.
I would say, "stay out of the basement", but it's a more fulfilling existence down there at the moment.

 

[IceForce]

OP, I have to be honest, and say that I don't know who you are.

this place just isn't that great for escaping

I guess that means the name of this website is somewhat of a misnomer...

I don't even know who anyone is 0.0 Who are you people again?

 

[Tsaba]

I just got back a month ago from being gone for for an extended amount of time as well. Something is definitely wrong/missing from around here though, be on your guard.

She did for a short time, then left again.

OT: Depending on when exactly you left, a lot XD

Mostly feminism stuff, but also Yahtzee's transgender nightmare thread and Grey and Corey's night terror white guy defense force thread XD

The warning came in faster than the mods could strike them down.

Judging from your past posta on your profile (it look like you've been gone for a month), you haven't been missing much unless you haven't see those femisim and sexist related posts that got the people to go apeshit over(Fragon Crown and Anita Sarkeesian) and a few other controversial lately.
