Poo was abrasive and Super-Ultra-NintendoDefenseForce with little in the way of concrete arguments about even the smallest thing. It was inevitable.

So, BurntPork, Poo, Guek, Ace, jump, Truth, Defective...

Please, please, PLEASE don't get banned again, BY2K. Please

To be fair Ubisoft has been tight with Nintendo and specifically the Wii U. If they're not going to give Ubisoft games very big exposure during their conference then why not let them show it on their own? Surely there's no need for Nintendo to make the 3rd parties that like them angry.

I think it would be better for Nintendo to highlight the devs that are producing exclusive content for them at their own conference. Let UBI demo Killer Freaks and possibly Just Dance 4, then show a montage of their other titles. Most would probably agree that Nintendo's conference will receive a lot more viewers than UBI's own conference, so it'd also be in their best interest to hold it back for Nintendo's conference. That's assuming that Nintendo would give them a time slot, which they should.

Damn, he recently had birthday and everything (late happy birthday by the way, didnt get around to say it a few days ago). Didnt think that he would get banned, pity :\ (not to single anyone out, but i'm most familiar with AceBandage and not so much with the other users).

Hmmm... guess we need to stay a bit ontopic my fellow speculation friends.

I can't believe we're only nine days away from Nintendo's presser...

Boondocks and Family Guy definitely stand for something to balance off their cynicism. Hell, the later seasons of Family Guy sees Brian becoming a mouthpiece for Seth's politics

I'm not saying it isn't funny. It is, in fact, VERY funny. But TV shows are like people. You invite them into your homes, you have up and downs, you talk about them with friends, you hang out when a certain times once a week. And if there isn't something else to them besides just displeasure, some kind of heart or self-effecting humanism, then there's those funny people you know that you wouldn't want to hang out with.

It's a show that embraces nothing but itself. I can never call a show like that "great" or "I love that show", despite how smart and funny it often is.

edit: Also, LOL @ Ace already getting banned pre-E3.

It's satire. Satire's job isn't to put forward a detailed argument for a social or political outlook, it's job is to hold a mirror up to society and politics and show people how utterly absurd it can be. This is the way that satire has worked going right back to the political cartoons in the newspapers of the 19th century, through writers like Swift, Wilde and Shaw, and South Park, as odd as it may be to say, is a continuation of that. It's hugely variable in its quality, largely due to the pressures of making an entire episode every week, but at its best it's the best social and political satire around, far moreso than something like Family Guy.

Anyway, while that's almost completely off topic, I will say that I'm looking forward to the South Park RPG because, while you might laugh at the suggestion, I see it as the spiritual successor to Alpha Protocol. The great thing about Alpha Protocol was that, rather than being placed on a rigid good/evil axis that affects everything in the game world, your character had different relationships with the NPCs you encounter. A particular NPC might like you, another one might hate you, another one might distrust you, etc., and these all had an effect on the way the story progressed. This made it a real breath of fresh air compared to most western RPGs, but unfortunately the actual combat in the game was fairly janky, so the game tanked. With the South Park RPG, Obsidian have a perfect opportunity to have another go at the Alpha Protocol approach, as you're a new kid in South Park who has to get to know various characters from the series. There's also the Paper Mario style combat, which they can't possibly screw up, and the South Park IP (with Matt and Trey's involvement) which should ensure the game does fairly well commercially.

Hive mind typically means your always in the defense force etc. Looking at Aces posts dont find anything offensive one bit but as always Mods dont have to identify themselves when banning so can be anything

I can't really see what would compel someone to just up and say "NOT NEWS" anyway. Let others decide that, yeah?

Nevertheless, RIP everyone. Hope everyone keeps a cool head. Notoriety is a double-edged sword.

WTH?

Ace, Jump and Poo all gone?

seriously, 3 in one day? NintendoGAF is getting smaller and smaller.

For security reasons, we really shouldn´t post elsewhere except in this thread... Its easy to get carried away out there... way too easy...

I argue that discussing our community of hacks, drunkards, and fanboys is completely on-topic in our community thread.

But I am giddy too regardless of the losses.

I think 3rd-parties' best chance at exposure during Nintendo's own conference is a sizzle reel. At least I really hope so, because that would mean Nintendo'll be using their own time for their own games, and I really want that, much like most of the fanbase.

On another note I'm really looking forward to the longest 9 days of my life.

Well, I think it is safe to say the mods are really going after posters they have perceived to be very one sideD/console warriorish over the years.

So if your post history is reasonable, you should be fine.


If you it hasn't..I would just not post here until after E3!
