  1. FM Synth is the only way to listen to music. You've gotta probably hate all music from the 80s and early 90s too.

    Also, I'm not sure why Sonic needs to have capes and other shit to make him a decent platformer. While Mario just ran left and right and needed powerups to get up into the air, Sonic allowed you to do so much more by utilizing the levels themselves.

    Also, I'm not sure how anyone else feels about this, but I always felt like it was really the physics of the genesis Sonic games that made them as fun as they are.

  2. You can most certainly troll somebody and try to advance your career.

    He runs his mouth towards the lot of internet "hardcore gamers" and, in turn, causes a huge mass of nerds to flip out, trash talk him, and seek to "get back at him" by playing some video games with him. Look at the response just in this very thread.

    He gets under the skin of the vocal internet population by egging them on and then has to do minimal work as people, like those in this thread, help create further buzz about him.

    If you don't think he's trying to piss people off on purpose, you might be watching the wrong videos.

  3. Welcome to the corner of the internet comprised of those who are above trash talking. After reading this thread, I have carefully formulated a scenario I believe could play out in real life:

    Smug and Tyrone are both in an arcade together. Tyrone is playing Street Fighter 4, the game which Smug came to admire for its beauty. Smug also wants to play this game so he eventually sits down and inserts his quarters.

    Tyrone plays a fierce but close game against Smug, finishing Smug off with a super attack in front of many. He stands up and vocally proclaims "SHIT SON, YOU AIN'T GET SHIT DONE". Tyrone then extends his hand for a high five, a gesture to admit that they engaged in a competitive and good game.

    Smug is clearly phased as sweat pours from his brow. He has trouble coming to terms with the words that Tyrone shouted after the match. He throws on his jacket and begins to walk towards the door. Before he exits, he turns and yells "GOOD DAY SIR"!

    That's most of the people in this thread.

    (The arcade laughed at you when the door shut)

  4. Really? Because I have a lot more respect for a bunch of guys that make and release slightly entertaining videos, and have the humor to both mock and call out someone at the same time, than I do for some stupid little arrogant man-child that brags about his "skills" and diminishes his prospective opponents before he even gets to meet them.

    You must have not understood dodge ball as a kid or something.

    Anyway, if you can't see the fact that soulja boy is pretty much mocking everybody (and getting under hardcore "internet gamer" nerd skin) quite effectively, then maybe you need more than just a sarcasm detector.

    If you look up troll in the dictionary, you'll see Soulja Boy. He pretty much makes kotaku readers crawl in their skin and, clearly, he's working his magic on quite a few people here.

    On a related point, Soulja Boy is more entertaining and comical than mostly everybody on Screwattack including AVGN.

  5. Hi everybody.

    I've spent most of my time on the internet over in the classic doom community and for years, the most popular DM wad has been dwango5, a compilation of really old custom maps.

    The problem is that almost nothing is credited so a lot of information regarding the source of data in the wad is unknown including map authors and, in this case, the source of this song.

    The song in question can be found by clicking here. Many of us have been trying to find the source of this tune for at least a decade at this point and while we've questioned others in the Doom community with no luck, I figure that there is a slim chance (very slim at this point after 10 years) that at least one person here can identify the mystery tune.

    Please, help the Doom community identify the song that has been haunting us for over a decade.

    P.S. Today is Doom's 15th birthday. Happy Doomsday!

  6. Well that and Sega isn't making Sonic games for you anymore. They're appealing to the kiddies now.

    Not sure if I understand this comment. Hasn't Sonic and similar games like Mario/Crash Bandicoot/etc ALWAYS been marketed to young children?

  7. Something to consider:

    Some people here have already mentioned that the real life and internet lives of a person should be kept separate. I agree with this to an extent.

    The unfortunate truth is that for some people on the internet, most especially those considering themselves gamers, their internet life is pretty much their only real life.

    Pathetic and sad, but true.

    ALSO

    Some people are just nuts.

  8. I don't post too often around here but I browse these forums almost every day to get an idea of what the current climate of each thread. When this little film was announced I thought it would be a fun watch and actually anticipated its release but the entire attitude thrown around by the person repping the movie here pretty much soured the entire thing (on top of the fact that it was never even posted in the first place).

    The internet is a place where tons and tons of words are thrown around by a bunch of people who want to be something great so they talk a big game to flex their egos. Either put up or shut up.

  9. The people that play football games are usually the ones that complain about RPGs being boring because you just wade through menus... Anyone else find that ironic?

    No. I've never heard any of my friends who pretty much bought their 360s for sports games say this. I think the people that play football games, for the most part, don't even care about RPGs. It's just internet elitists on gaming forums who do all the trash talking about how stupid football games and the people that play them are.

    Contrary to popular gaming forum beliefs, it is possible to enjoy football games (if you enjoy football) and "hardcore" games as well.

  10. Is it really worth all the effort to become internet terrorists over some dude's youtube video? I understand plagiarism is crap but when I see threads like this I can't help but think that the people planning attacks against some nobody on youtube are a little off their own rockers.

    I understand the outrage towards somebody like Timbaland who is making profits off of somebody else's work but this sort of particular scenario happens constantly on the internet. I'm not condoning his actions but, again, who cares? If anything you're just giving him tons of attention which he is most likely going to love.
