As usual the internet does tend to run humorous things into the ground and then after doing so takes it too far. It went from awesome jokes and gifs to actual fanboy worship like with Iwata, and that bothers me.
I was nodding my head in agreement until your second paragraph.
To dislike something doesn't automatically put that person in the other camp as you put it.I find the Kaz gifs to be annoying and serving no purpose, this doesn't automatically mean I am not looking forward to the press event nor does it mean I am hoping it will be a failure.
That's a terrible assumption on your part. To tar everyone who doesn't like the gifs with the same brush. It's offensive.

Yep. Whether they were meant to be or not some of them quotes in the article sound kind of gross. I thought most of the Kaz gifs were just snowballing with each person trying to out funny the last. Didn't think there was any sort of reverence there.
You sound like that conference thread is something to be proud about.
You are very bad at reading these things if you think there's no idolization going on here.
Lol, my gif made the article but not my interview answers. My answers were a lot less serious though. For one of them I just talked about how fun it was and how it improves my Photoshop skills.

Now I know how Kpop and Gaga GAF feels like.It's just groupthink. Forum behavior, having fun with something that people feel like they're 'in' on.
You do realize you having fun and improving your Photoshop skills (a.k.a. The boring truth) does not bring hits to CVG right?Lol, my gif made the article but not my interview answers.

Doesn't matter lol. In the movie that same guy first offers "Jews for Jesus?", and then "more nuclear power?". These fellas are working for more than 1 company.WiiU and Used game blocking are the same guy.....
The one thing I dislike about the Kazification of GAF is that one guy who has Evilore's icon with Kaz's face. It always makes me do a double take and it hurts my eyes.
lol I know, that was only one of my answers though.Now I know how Kpop and Gaga GAF feels like.

To your defense my argument with you wasn't with the first post I quoted you on, but it was on the posts building up to it, the following in particular and the bolded.
That was the very first thing that caught my eye, and I'm afraid I found your tone very selfish and arrogant.
You are simply expressing your dislike of something that is clearly bringing a group of people together, sharing laughs and having fun. If that's annoying you, simply do not go into that thread, it's unfortunate that you may think you still can get some other value out of that thread and the gifs are holding you back. But there's no reason to generalize the purpose, or the lack of, of the Kaz gifs. Right? What you find useless may put a smile on someone else's face.
You even go ahead and acknowledge that you were being "overzealous" with your tone in a post right after that. (sorry I'm on an iPhone and going back pages and copying and pasting quotes is a juggling act.)
So reading all of your posts in the last three pages (which I just did now) more or less, after other people pointing it out to you, you (halfway) came into terms and realized you were sounding a bit arrogant and yes...overzealous. Guess I was just late to the argument.
Apologies.
I hate when people try to turn something fun into something serious. The thread is just people having fun to pass the time with a random meme.
I disagree with a large part of your post, but in the spirit of ending this and moving on, I accept your apology and I hope you'll accept mine for coming as dismissive toward you and your posts.

No wonder GAF is know as a sony fanboy forum.
Oh, come on. GAF is known for it's spectacular gifs across the board. Beyond that, people are excited for the next gen on a gaming forum and we are just having a great time with it.
yeah guys next time you post think about what other people from other websites may think of you!I'm sure a lot of you are, but if definitely believe there are a lot of closet fanboys on GAF.
You sound like that conference thread is something to be proud about.
This gif has the potential to becoming the most epic backfire ever.
I'm sure a lot of you are, but if definitely believe there are a lot of closet fanboys on GAF.

Oh I thought we were known for angry Nintendo nerds.No wonder GAF is known as a sony fanboy forum.
CVG. I respected that publication for PCZone, which exposed me to the awesomeness that is Charlie Brooker. Now its desperately seeking hits by making fun of gamers having a little fun.
"cult of kaz" my ass
Is it really fair to classify it as "something of a Hirai shrine"?
A shrine implies there is some sort of deification or worshiping going on; most of these gifs are a meme, mostly used to poke fun at the dude.
Every goddamn time.The one thing I dislike about the Kazification of GAF is that one guy who has Evilore's icon with Kaz's face. It always makes me do a double take and it hurts my eyes.
