Support NeoGAF

[Kurdel]

I can't wait to see the bodycount after the smike clears.

 

[Jake Tower]

The official song of E3 2013: Can You Feel It - The Jacksons

 

[UnluckyKate]

No, which is why it's so fun. My first E3 on Gaf, can't fucking wait.

oooh and this E3 is like a rare gem. It's not every year we will have two near console haha it will be fun

 

[thetrin]

Nah, all going Direct route

Sony Direct, Nintendo Direct, Microsoft Direct

DirectTV Direct!

I love the insanity of press conferences, but I feel like nothing but Directs would be far more informative.

 

[TrickRoom]

Nintendo seems to be running on their own schedule with this one. I have no idea whether that's going to alleviate the heat or just increase the duration.

 

[Skyzard]

Unless Mario 3D is insanely good, Nintendo fans are going to have a hard time during E3.

 

[Jabba]

Agreed. E3 will be a blood bath.

Yep, the mods will be like the hooded dude in the beginning of Skyrim. During E3 they should get avatars of executioners.

 

[PopeReal]

No, which is why it's so fun. My first E3 on Gaf, can't fucking wait.

Mine too. And it has already been crazy around here just today haha.

 

[kittens]

It tingles.

 

[televator]

I suspect that there will be a server crash. At which point, I will actually play video games in real life.

 

[Crimsonlink]

I just realized Last Guardian might show up for PS4...



Pretty big casket

Its started already! lol

I laughed hard at this.

Mods gonna get their banning ready to go in June.

EviLore is just gonna be chilling until the reveals happen and then the meltdown posts appear. Cue NeoGAF going down to server overload.

I can't wait. It should be fun.

 

[Mass Effect]

Those "IF x were to go under" threads are hilarious. I'm expecting the MS one soon.

You can feel the tension building up.

Now why would you want to do that?

 

[FloatOn]

I want to believe in nintendo but those salty tears from all camps are just so delicious.

*continues to play games on pc*

 

[Teknoman]

No, which is why it's so fun. My first E3 on Gaf, can't fucking wait.

Whatever you do, dont get drawn in the vortex of stupid arguments thats bound to surface. Feel free to flip out at various megatons and complain about how face numbingly boring speaker X will be

Yes, and all the warring factions have agents, with enough cunning to draw otherwise innocent people to chopping block.

Thread title reminded me of this:

How does one prepare themselves for future server errors ?

 

[Skyzard]

Plan backup gaf meeting spots. Like twitter or a chatroom if you dare.

 

[Groof]

We need to get this show started already, I'm prepared for uuuurrrthang. I'll mostly observe though.

building up backlog

 

[Videoneon]

I just hope the GAF servers can handle the traffic. Will be so underwhelming if we can't comment.

Of course, another thing I can't wait to see are hyperbole/out of control hype and behavior alongside people criticizing speakers, companies, events, etc., because it's funny =)

 

[Metroidvania]

I wonder what the over/under is for GAF during the The MS Press Conference will be.

If Ninty-Direct/Sonic was enough to 504 GAF earlier, I shudder to think of what the MS conference, or worse, E3 will be like, even if the OT does get shut down temporarily.

Back more on topic, as long as I get some good games/system news out of it, I'll be a happy camper.

 

[Gadirok]

Prepare yourself for one word posts addressed for hype and meltdowns across several threads.

You're going to need a bomb shelter. And don't blink, otherwise the number of pages may skip several integers.

 

[katsubento]

This E3 is going to be the mother the mother of all E3's with the two giants going head to head after such a long generation.

GAF cant handle normal GAF E3, sure wont be able to handle New system reveals + Multiple Nintendo Directs + a documentary trailer about GAF.

 

[grosvenor_92]

building up backlog

Mine isn't too long but idk exactly when I start going through it

 

[Stabby McSter]

what's the over/under number for how many times neogaf will 500

 

[GraveRobberX]

No avatars, no OT, no sub-communities, pray for no DDOS, we might survive for 30 seconds hopefully!

building up backlog

Mine isn't too long but idk exactly when I start going through it

I am ready then

what's the over/under number for how many times neogaf will 500

The line right now is @75 at the moment, can shift big if some poster last named Lore makes their presence known in this thread

 

[zerokoolpsx]

The threads are going to move at light speed and Gaf servers are under a ton of traffic when E3 comes. Good times.

 

[Evolved1]

I can't wait to see the bodycount after the smike clears.

You spelled smite wrong.

 

[BRocknRolla]

I have a strong feeling I'll need to walk away for a week or so depending on how palpable the negativity gets. I can take fandom; it's the people shitting all over everything that I can't stand.

 

[GraveRobberX]

The best moment is something gets announced, you post, then see the pages have moved at least 4+ (100ppp) pages instantly

Most are just one word Bombs, it's hilarious, you can literally see a graphs highs and lows but in word form

 

[Evolved1]

Won't TLoU be out right about then? This is going to cause serious problems for me. I'm freaking obsessed with that game. But I LOOOOOOVE E3.

 

[VARIA]

Has their ever been a compiled fanboy list separated by company?

Probably against TOS, but hey it's worth asking.

 

[Videoneon]

GAF cant handle normal GAF E3, sure wont be able to handle New system reveals + Multiple Nintendo Directs + a documentary trailer about GAF.

Aw. It'll be my first E3 too. The one-word posts and topics receiving 200 additional posts in four seconds will make things difficult.

Better get ready. =P

 

[Zen_Arcade]

Won't TLoU be out right about then? This is going to cause serious problems for me. I'm freaking obsessed with that game. But I LOOOOOOVE E3.

Last Of Us comes out the Friday after. Animal Crossing on the other hand comes out the Sunday before.

 

[Folstern]

All that shining grey text. 2013 is going to be the year of tombstones.

I just want to play good games...

 

[Nags]

You spelled smite wrong.

Thought 'smoke' was the intention, but I see what you did there. Works both ways.

 

[JAYSIMPLE]

i cant believe the amount of people losing it lol. cant wait for e3. i love all games, i buy everything, so seeing people go nuts is too funny

 

[Alcotholic]

If I couldnt get on GAF during the direct this morning, then I wont even bother during E3.

 

[EviLore]

Going to be taking special measures as always. Probably additional servers for the array during E3 week if that will help, too.

The traffic baseline for NeoGAF just keeps increasing drastically and the server upgrades aren't helping much. It's tough for gromph to identify the points of failure before the fact.

 

[Router]

I'm not feeling it. With Nintendo clearly out of the race it's down to just Sony and Microsoft and that just no fun getting all fan boyish over IMO.

If other people want to freak out over this new gen then I'm happy to watch the hilarity.

GAF will die as always. Poor GAF.

I assume by 'points of failure' you mean us.

 

[Trevelyon]

You done got one of dem der guest problems.

 

[GraveRobberX]

My brother asked me "Do you have any Vices?"

I go 4

Food
Tech
Trophies
GAF

These are my drugs of choice

He got the first 3, confused @ GAF
Was like do I even want to know, I replied "I'm in too deep, just stay away for sanity sakes, it consumes you if you let it, which I have"

Why can't I quit you!

 

[Terra]

Yep. I feel it, and I enjoy being neutral and open minded about it. I enjoy when the companies tries to break each other...but when it spills off to 'fanboys' I rather leave the building.

 

[Moxx19]

First E3 on GAF, meltdowns will be glorious.

 

[civilstrife]

Gamer Christmas is best Christmas.

 

[UrbanRats]

No, which is why it's so fun. My first E3 on Gaf, can't fucking wait.

I've only followed 4 (one as a lurker) but this one (my 5th with GAF) is particularly heated, so far.

 

[kittens]

just grey out all their names and let bish sort them out
