Star Wars Spoilers Being Sent Through XBL Messages

That's exactly what I'll be doing come Episode VIII. I was napping when they went on sale here and my area sold out by the time I had woken up xD
I still can't believe that I'll get to see Guardians Vol. 2 & Star Wars: Episode VIII on the same month. I love it.

And yeah, definitely get on top of early ticket sales if you want good seats on opening night. You'll thank me later.

Media blackout guys. All media. You can go without an Xbox Live connection for a week. I'm glad I had exams though this past week. Kept me off Facebook and GAF most of the time.

Yeah, stuff like this is why I avoided almost all of the internet and all of TV today.

It makes me really glad Warframe makes you have to open chat channels manually in the lobby.

I'm pretty sure I got spoiled on the movie's biggest spoiler just from watching a giantbomb stream earlier today. Going to see the movie in less than 10 hours FFS.

My FB and Twitter feeds are full of people spoiling the film. Everyone's an asshole these days. Thank God I saw it already.
 
I posted on the other thread a moment ago. This Le Compadre guy seems to be a gaffer, since shortly after he sent me a XBL message spoiling the movie... succesfully lured. Good thing I saw the movie yesterday :)

Yeah this happened to me as well. The weirdest part is that I haven't owned an Xbox in 4 years and the message showed up as a notification on my Windows 10 desktop. I didn't even know I could get Xbox messages on my PC.

Yep, it was this douche.

I'm protected by my total lack of interest in Star Wars force field.

Shitty thing to do to fans though.

I'm protected by not at all caring about spoilers.

Also I don't know why THE spoiler for TFA is so protected anyway. It's not the most shocking thing to have ever happened.

I really hate how people can be such pricks. I will never understand what drives someone to be the ultimate scumbag.
 
some people just want to watch the world burn. i'm surprised someone hasn't sacrificed their GAF account to drop a spoiler in a busy thread (maybe someone has?).

edit: i should've read the thread more thoroughly
 
I just opened the PSN app and on the main page, the bottom has live broadcasts. One guy playing Battlefront had in the description the massive spoiler from the movie. I already watched it so its true.

Basically don't open the app.

There's been at least one guy that I know of. He bombed a couple of threads with stuff and got banned.

I think there were 2 people.

Because 1 of them wound up spoilering me. And I thought GAF would be the only safe place...I just had to get up early.

Which is fine, because people at work were talking about it...
 
I'm surprised people don't just change their gamertags to spoilers, honestly. Seems like less of a hassle.

That being said: [Star Wars Character] is Dumbledore.
 
Yep. I've had it spoilt for me but I didn't care enough to remember it.

Same. I just asked a guy at work about it. Good enough for me. But it does suck for people and I would never spoil something. Dick move. On a side note I really do not care if a game is spoiled for me. But movies and shows? Nope spoil free. Kind of weird...

People were casually spoiling it today on WoW trade chat.


I was making people upset by "spoiling" it with utter lies (someone blocked me for spoiling the sudden pod-racing flashback fever dream sequence) but the fact that someone was on there for hours just repeating big spoilers was crazy to me

Sorry to hear that, I went on media blackout for about a week until I got to see it last night, but it looks like some shitheads are doing everything they can to ruin it in whatever way they can.

They're definitely either a GAF user or a lurker. Just got a message on the PS4 from LolNeoGAF with "U Mad?". So PS4 users should watch out as well. Not sure if it's worth having a Mod change the title or not.

People are idiots. I watched the movie Thursday evening exactly for this reason. I mean, a movie like this, the longer you go on without watching it, the greater the chance that you're going to be exposed to spoilers in some form or another.

She was actually a hamster, and Vader smelt of elderberries.

This is some disgusting shit (absolutely?). I don't let spoilers bother me, like at all, but it makes me mad when people try and shit on other people trying to enjoy something.

Yo I like that elderberries pull.

On topic: as someone who can't stand theatres in general this is kind of a bummer man. I really don't wanna go on a Star Wars media blackout for as long as it takes to hit retail. Why are people such ass spelunkers about this kind of stuff? I legitimately do not understand the appeal or the joy of being a giant bag of dildos for the "lolz." Can someone explain the mindset or is it impossible to understand?

Their lives are probably just that shit that they spend money to make others miserable.

worth noting that lurkers can't see a member's gamertag in their GAF profile.

You have to be an ultra special douche to spend your Friday night sending messages on Xbox One and PS4 spoiling the movie for people.

Like, how miserable could a person be?

Can you imagine your life being so devoid of meaning that this is the kind of shit you spend time doing?
I know, people need to stop complaining about spoilers. It's just a children's movie.

Aside from wanting to see it as soon as possible, this was one of the other reasons why I had to see it on Thursday.

I've seen the movie get spoiled over and over all of today. You pretty much can't escape the spoilers unless you completely shut off the internet.

I knew there would be spoilers all over the internet, so I went to go see the film opening night. I'm just glad I'm in Korea right now. Went to see the movie Thursday after work and the theater wasn't even a third full. No crowds or ticket reservations to deal with. Just bought my ticket and picked out a nice comfortable seat.
