Biggest NeoGAF Legit Shook/Meltdown/Crow Eating?

The FFXIII on 360 thread is how I got hooked on GAF in the first place. It's wonderful.

There's been lots of good stuff recently with the console launches reigniting the fanboy wars, but a really stellar example are the threads that came out the first 2 or 3 days after Sony announced the 8GB thing. Though that wasn't really a meltdown or even crow eating exactly as much as it was just...giggling madness.
 
Not the biggest, but the meltdowns at the end of the Blu-ray/HD-DVD war were gratifying mainly seeing the denial break apart for some people.

The one I'm thinking of was pretty big, though. Like, the dude had some weird threats going down in his post where he was like "I know who you are and this isn't the first time you've done this and I'll get you."

It was surreal.

You're thinking of kitsune. That shit was legendary. And kind of terrifying.

Browsing this thread is pretty eye-opening.
Not specifically for the content, but because I ran across this user:

Old GAF must have been a totally different beast because I can't ever imagine admins handing out transphobic slurs as custom user titles.
That's fucked up.

In one of the other threads from 2006 Evilore said the PS3 was an "assrape of a product."

The times they are a-changin'.

Evidently the Undertaker has been wrestling all this time and has never lost a single match in over 20 years. Until last night. NeoGAF was bored because this elderly man was presumably going to beat his opponent, Brock Lesnar (who actually left WWF/E to become an MMA star). Then the Undertaker lost. The above link is that moment.

Definitely worth a prince wtf gif. I'm shook that people watching Wrestling are shook by the results.

On going melt downs because Marvel and DC are evidently missing out on trillions by not releasing female super heroine movies?

I'm a girl and even I dont think it's an easy proposition.

Yeah, and I suppose this game is going to have a variety of things to listen to, like heavy metal, rock, classical, country, and rap? Yeah, no way. This game is going to be purely rap/hip-hop driven, and you know it.

haha this is from the San Andreas thread.

Back when I lurked heavy I loved following the Sadness thread. Saw my first detectivegaf situation, and some pretty pissed Wii owners.

Nintendo picking up Bayonetta 2 was pretty bad.
People weren't hyped that it came back from the dead and on a (then) next-gen platform? Link to the thread?

I wasn't here for it, but I heard that the Wii reveal at the 2006 E3 Keynote blew minds, made meltdowns, and took the forum online for hours.

Can someone link the thread? Or better yet a good starting point in the thread?

Share the love :)

I think that happened on PaleoGAF. So unless there's a goodcow archive, it might not be around any more.

Oh, never mind. Found a copy of it.

Context is that Kitsune had been very vocal about living in Japan and being Japanese and blah blah blah, and had just been outed as a liar.

Kitsune said:
Alright, I'm sick and tired of this.

But this isn't for you, not any of the gossipy muckety muck gutter****ing cock jockeys who can't mind their own business and thrive on people's controversies when they've done nothing to deserve them.

Whoever brought this out, I'll let you have your satisfaction: whatever you tried to do, you succeeded royally at messing up my real life. Go ahead and smile or whatever it is inhuman jackasses like you do. It won't change the fact that I know exactly who I am and I don't really care if anyone else doubts it. It matters not one bit when nothing changes for the reality of me: one Japanese guy living in Japan.

That's the last thing I have to say the GA Forum.

But this.

This is for you.

I know you're reading this. I also know you can understand this. I still don't know how you got all this information, but I'll find out. I admit I don't know how someone could be so damn screwy in the head to go through all the effort you've gone through, especially over me.

But that doesn't change the fact that on top of that, I know who you are now. Yeah, go ahead and shake your head like I'm bluffing. You know in the depths of your nasty, mean little heart that I'm telling the truth.

You'll find out soon enough what the consequences are for doing what you've done to me over the past year and a half.

There's going to be no more fear, and no more harassment, at least not on my side. I'm going to live normally again no matter what you do.

I'd just like to let you know that's nothing changed in the last ten years. Oh yes. I've grown up and gone to live in the US and come back here and all that, but I'm still just as violent and cruel as you remember. If anything, I've only gotten stronger.

If you do one more thing to me...know this: no one will be able to hear you scream. And I won't make it quick.

And if you think you can use this for evidence, well you know now that what used to be your strength is now your weakness: no one will be able to track it to the real me.

And then the LORD David Bowie saith to his Son, Jonny Depp: 'Go, and spread my image amongst the cosmos. For every living thing is in anguish and only the LIGHT shall give them reprieve.'
I don't get it...why do they let Undertaker win every Wrestlemania for two decades? Is that kind of an in-joke? Just sounds kinda ridiculous.

Can someone direct me to the the Game of Thrones thread after
The Red Wedding
or was there not much of a shocker for that here?

As someone who was on the major AV forums when the WB announcement went down, I'll never forgot the shear chaos and denial the HD-DVD side went through. Seriously, the way some people responded you would have thought someone had just been assassinated. That and the next couple years all the former HD-DVD guys insisting Blu-Ray was also doomed and that upscaled DVD was "good enough" always brings a smile to my face.

Why is Undertaker losing a big deal? I remember he used to lose all the time when I used to watch Wrestling.

Because Taker is The Last Outlaw (tm). His match at Wrestlemania is the one where even predictable champions lose. He's been semi-retired for a few years, so that makes his Wrestlemania appearances a little more prestigious.

My favorite year was Undertaker vs. Yokozuna and he and Paul Bearer went around promoting the match with a giant casket.

And it really really spun everyone out, because the dude previously had this great, calm, articulate, nice guy facade going on.

It'd almost be like one of the nice mods flipping out outting himself like this.

It's the equivalent of being shook by a twist in a movie. You know it's scripted but you still don't know what's going to happen (unless it gets leaked beforehand).

There was some really funny thread where some dude was fed up with NeoGAF and pretty much made an account suicide post, going in on literally half of GAF. I remember he said that he wanted to punch half of anime GAF in the face or something. It was a hilarious meltdown. Please, if anyone knows about the thread I'm talking about, send a link my way lol. I doubt anyone will because it wasn't a topic, but it was still amazing.

The one where the guy stiffed another gaffer on a game giveaway? If not, that one was good. Had me legit shook when I read it.

Well, I haven't been on GAF for that long, but the Uncharted 3 review thread was depressing and hilarious.

Greatest crow eating was when one guy, with his first post, said next Mortal Kombat game was vs DC something... GAF Said he was stupid.

YEARS later the thread was bumped by the same guy, this was his 2nd post, with something like 'I told you so' when it was confirmed.

He was never heard from again.
