Title says it all.

After WrestleMania XXX, I wonder what was GAF biggest shock or meltdown or just crow eating. Avengers Box Office thread? Ben Affleck Batman? Second coming of Christ? Ass Storm? Bahman vs. Supahman? Or WrestleMania XXX? Or else?

Discuss. I'll be away until this afternoon, so I hope there would be something nice in the thread. Or just another meltdown, legit shook, eat crow, etc.

Nintendo picking up Bayonetta 2 was pretty bad.

 

[Darklord]

FF13 on Xbox 360.

 

[TheKaeptain]

I just admitted to liking a Marvel movie. That's likely to give a couple of Gaffers a heart attack.

Wii/Revolution reveal?

Heath Ledger as the Joker

Oh god, what would I have given to be around GAF when that happened.

 

[.GqueB.]

Heath Ledger as the Joker

Probably this. But I think this crow eating may have reach worldwide status and transcended GAF. The Avengers box office thread is pretty up there as well.

 

[Freshmaker]

Heath Ledger as the Joker

Wasn't especially good.

Mainly because it was a newer revision than the PS3 and offered online play which Sega had been stating was "impossible" up to that point. That was rather vexing.

Biggest Meltdown: FF13 on X360 versus Facebook buying Oculus

Biggest Eating of Crow? Heath Ledger as Joker

 

[Anth0ny]

FF13 on Xbox 360.

This comes to mind. It's not often that a meltdown produces a legendary post that gets reused over and over, even 6 years later. Bayo 2 Wii U exclusive and the Wiimote reveal are up there too.

 

[Aurongel]

Largest: Xbox One 180

Most embarrassing: racists freak out over GTA San Andreas protagonist.

 

[Archie]

Wii controller reveal.

 

[ComputerMKII]

Oculus Rift + Facebook

Sony E3 2013 (PS4 for $399, no always-online) + Xbox 180

 

[ultron87]

I was incredibly shocked when Sony dropped the no DRM bomb for PS4. I really thought that Microsoft wouldn't have been insane enough to take that route alone, so the fact that they were doing it cemented the fact in my mind that Sony was going to do it too.

Obviously quite happy with how it all turned out.

The guy who was Shitting on ledger getting cast as Joker and was banned with a Joker avatar years after

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

no it was awesome because the initial reactions from people two years prior to the movie releasing was very very negative(I remember Jett was one very loud critic)
then teh thread died and was revived when teh movie came out and all I remember was the poster telling everyone how that crow tastes.

[-COOLIO-]

probably the wii, in terms of people who thought it would be an absolute failure.

Oculus Rift + Facebook

in due time.

 

[Brawly Likes to Brawl]

The Jbaird thread. Unfortunately a lot of people who were genuinely concerned about the guy and tried to help him ended up egg on their faces when the truth came out.

 

[Amentallica]

I think people who say Heath Ledger's joker performance wasn't good are full of shit.

 

[AgentChris]

FF13 but after living through the Lightning era, I'm happy to share that shit.

 

[Mr.Awesome]

Wrestlemania xxx is the best instant gaf reaction to something I've ever seen. Incredible.

Crow eating: Halo 2 sales, Avatar box office and GAF vs The Dream Team
Meltdown/shook: FFXIII... Twas glorious

true, but i didnt expect so many dudes to jump on the sword like they did

DC/Mortal Kombat - and the 3 year affirmation.

good lord that was hilarious.

 

[Nameless]

I remember Nintendo fans throwing themselves off buildings after Microsoft bought Rare.

 

[Glass Rebel]

Dragon Quest IX on DS is up there.

This isn't the biggest, but it's definitely my favorite.

K what happened at Wrestlemania? Your link just leads to the front page of that thread for me.

 

[Stabby McSter]

The Avatar box office discussions were pretty hilarious.

 

[KillerMan91]

Xbox One reveal day and weeks after that (before 180). Gaming side was on fire. Still can't believe how MS alone tried to push those restrictions.

 

[Richfield]

Halo 2 Sales - http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=22883

 

[plantedunicorn]

FF13 on Xbox 360.

Thinking of it, it might actually be this one. This shit spawned a meme that is still used till this day and is still funny. People were writing petitions and shit. They acted like their lives depended on it.

In hindsight most of the meltdowns involved a game that was exclusive to Sony the previous generation now being multiplatform. Happened for FFXIII, DMC4 and probably GTA4 and RE5 to a lesser extent.

Stuff like this makes me wish I was a member sooner.

Yeah, I'm going to need to know what was significant about Wrestlemania XXX as somebody who hasn't followed it since I was a little kid. Skimming the OP and last page of that thread doesn't tell me a lot, is it mainly that Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock came back?

 

[illmatic22]

Wrestlemania still has me shook. Dammit Dammit Dammit.

 

[RoboPlato]

What happened with Wrestlemania? I've only heard "legit shook" as a response but never why.

Works on mobile hmmmmm. Start from post 9389 and go from there for the best reaction ever

 

[The Silver]

No piece of fiction has had me legit shook like Undertaker losing at Mania, biggest plot twist of all time.

 

[Binabik15]

Personal meltdown: Himuro asking Koshiba if her tits had "bite marks from all the rednecks who have nibbled on them".

Epic bump: Some guy bumping an ancient thread to gloat at the people who had ridiculed his far out game rumour which came totally true.
