I'm glad people still have something to talk about with the PS4.

You just don't quit do you?
You have gone from I know whats happening to I think.
Dont be upset when some people take issue with that.
Well what do you expect.
Just browse through his post history...
I wouldn't waste any effort on him, besides he cannot hear you anyway while being in Mattricks butt.
I think the moment anybody mentions something with "insider info" the following posts will be scrutinized. I blame myself for that.

What question did you answer?
This is not about one of your posts - but all of them recently.
You imply you are privvy to insider information - yet post the vaguest posts I've ever seen. Your most 'clear' post was the one earlier - and you prefaced it with "I think".
Either you know something, or you don't - there is no accountability here at all. Saying "I think" or making passing references like "It will all make sense after the reveal" is stupid and means nothing. I just don't see how you can defend the position you've taken - and I'm interested to know what the mods think of it.
Looks like console warriors from both sides have come here in force.
I would report but looking at these dedicated individuals hurling subtle and obvious insults is just so fun to watch. In this regard, GAF really isn't any different from all other open forums.
It is said that during E3, most fans brains shut down, except one side, the trollish side. Glorious.

Yeah if a small teaser like this was trending on twitter and hit +100k views on gaf, imagine what the topic of the day will be once they show the actual console.

Well that day will be E3 supposedly, and damn I hope people will be talking about the games on that day.

For goodness sake...
Yeah, I'm the person who is constantly provoking instead of just letting the bullshit rest for two seconds.
If it's your desire to continue with it, feel free
We have a few people here who post insider info and are well liked. It might be because they actually know something, and dont post vague catch all stuff.
If you cant talk about it, dont.
I know that means you dont get to look like you know something no one else does, but such is life

It's starting to sound like gamefaqs in here.
To be honest, I think bishoptl knows about key parts of Durango. The problem is he cannot say anything about it yet. You know NDA.
When asked about if I knew anything about Durango. I shared what I knew as I was told. But I was later told to close my mouth about it all. You can see that there is a large gap in time between some of my posts if you check my post history.
You don't have to believe me, and frankly I'm a bit skeptical of what I've been told. So I'm waiting to either be relieved if that info was right, or eat crow myself. I won't be the first time... I ate crow in the PS4 reveal thread. Should be fun either way.

No - you have it wrong. You insist on posting smilie faces and the like - but haven't dropped one bit of information. It's as good as waving cash in front of the homeless - there's no purpose to it but arrogance/superiority. Stop posting such broad-stroke statements and pony up something to work with - or stop posting about it at all.

damn talk about prolapse...
sony and MS have different strategies with announcing their consoles and revealing information. the fact that sony announced in Feb and have been stringing us along with info (and yes, they have) since then is just their way of doing it. they were still in the process of designing the unit too and didn't feel like it was too important to show it off yet. nothing wrong with that. if that somehow makes them lose massive numbers of potential sales by the time E3 is said and done, not only would i be shocked/surprised beyond belief but i would also demand explicit proof.
as for their ads, they're are hardly aggressive or nasty. as said before, they harken back to the sega/snes days. MS has had their share of conveniently-timed marketing blitz's as well. i remember on separate occasions visiting popular game sites like gametrailers to see the whole site had been themed to a 360 ad, or for a specific 360-exclusive game. and then there was the 360 boat... come on guys.

Holy shit, how about you stop telling him what he can and can't post.
Maybe you were told to not say anything because it would get you banned once it was revealed it was all false and you made people believe you had "insiders" telling you stuff.

Ofcourse, but there's 20 days to go and they'll tease the shit out of it until then. tip: don't get upset
No more wink winks, smiles, nudgies from me. Okay?
I'm just waiting for the reveal like everyone else.

Take a closer look. A lot of ruffled feathers in this thread. All because I literally had one sarcastic line to say about Sony's "teaser". And since then people have claimed that "I'm upset", "taking things to seriously", "a console warrior", and "up Mattrick's butt".
So save your tips for some of the others in here. Judging from their reactions now, they'll be downright crazy come tomorrow.

being reactionary at all to them is what suggests your feathers are ruffled.
i can understand that it might be difficult to be in Reiko's position, so long as he also understands that when he posts something tons of GAF members will read it and all interpret it differently.
i'm just glad he can type clearly.

Sigh... It's not about telling what he can and can't post - simply highlighting it's annoying and serves no purpose.
Great to hear.
And to clarify - insider information is great regardless of how it gets posted - but I just feel that if you do, it should be in a way that can have SOME accountability (even if the sources remain entirely anonymous). At this point, based on your previous posts, there is no way to say 'hey Reiko knew what was up - the sources were correct' or 'hey Reiko knew nothing - the sources were wrong'... there's just nothing to work with at all.

Or MS will disappoint and you will be one going crazy? Save comments like that, because it really goes both ways...

Salty? About what? I don't don't like the Xbox.
I'm just predicting the future based on what the past has shown us. Till this day, there are some facts that have never changed. The weakest console always sold the most in every gen(I consider the Dreamcast part of N64 gen) and the strongest console has always sold the least.
You got me confused with someone else. I have no interest in your console war. My PC already outperforms them all and has a lot more games.

It's gonna be hard to be disappointed. I wanna see a new console. I wanna see Project Gotham Racing. That's about it.

You're right to set the bar very low, this way you're sure you'll be happy.

Ironic.
I have a feeling MS and Sony will be going at each other fierce this Gen. Should be fun and we'll most likely benefit.
Maybe I'm wrong but you seem to act like it's wrong to be excited about the PS4, even with no major recent announcements. This is a ps4, there's no need for this.
