Support NeoGAF

[byproduct]

As long as we can still say "cunt".

 

[luffeN]

i can see the first famitsu threads with "pics or it didnt happen"

 

[NotWii]

so what do we have left?

we still have NPD data we got lucky on that

we still have Media Create Charts

we still have "Vinnk's Village" Anecdotal Report

we still have VGCATS

we still have PA

we still have 1UP Podcasts

we still have IGN's uh

GAF IS STILL KING!

FOR HOW LONG? D:

Scans, scans everywhere
and oh GAF's posts impede
Scans, Scans, everywhere
and not a page to read

The very scans that stop; O Christ!
That ever this should be!
Yet slimy sites with slimy posts
should post these Scans for free!

Around, around in threads and .rars
The scans are seen with sheen
With graphics like a witches oil
They shine with HDR; so keen!

And in our dreams assured were,
Of the scans that we post with fun;
From across the world they follow us,
from the land of the rising sun!

And every post that calls for scans
shall surely be perma-banned!
We could not post, no more than if
Our internet was canned.

EDIT: First person to know what poem I'm basing this off wins an internet.

 

[Vagabundo]

Can we post the google image search string that produces the results?

Thats two layers of separation, man!!

Plan A: SUCCESS

[soul]

God damn

 

[Mr_Furious]

A part of GAF's soul just died.

Spoiler

Just a little

 

[gofreak]

GAF should start its own japanese games mag, and post scans with engrish insults aimed at other messageboards that might repost our stuff.

 

[mrklaw]

Print is pretty much dying. Edge has been wandering around 30,000 subscriptions in the UK. I support print based until the next price hike.

edge has always had about 30k sales in the UK.

Just a continuation of the awful gaming news this week.

The Rime of the Ancient Mariner? (I'm not really familiar with it, but I assume this is it)

EDIT: Oh yeah, it's definitely that :lol Very nicely done.

Ding ding we have a winner.

 

[Ryuuga]

Damn, one less reason to visit as often. I guess, however, that means more time spent gaming instead of lurking. News has been pretty slow as of late. So I guess we'll be getting more of those "Best looking [insert body part] threads" sponsored by Lever 2000.

Spoiler

iie... kekkou desu

 

[itsgreen]

Sounds fair,

Eastern European scans?

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

Certain publications got pissed, and instead of further pissing them off we decided to stop the posting of Japanese scans on GAF. To be honest we always thought it a little hypocritical to allow Japanese scans and disallow American scans anyway.

It's sad, I know, but you guys always have google.


P.S.
We can still post news, just no scans.

Yeah that would be like... allowing only European scans....

 

[Defuser]

Looks like the weekly famistu threads will be dull

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

Ban European scans while you're at it.

You can't disallow for US and JPN scans while allowing for German or French ones.

might as well, to make things equal.

 

[jett]

Meh for the past couple of months the info in famitsu has been crap anyway. And japanese devs fail at next-gen, so it's all the same to me.

 

[Tr4nce]

No more Famitsu scans, O-MY-GOD.

 

[Hurricane_Chris]

Personally I'd be happy if in addition to scans being banned we also banned official game screen shot media. Most are bullshots and after all screen shots only add fuel to the console war bickering and such that goes on here.

Every day a different word should be a bannable offense, a common word like 'Game' or 'Console'. Just for kicks.

 

[AmMortal]

Can we post links to scans?

 

[Blueblur1]

I am shocked and appalled!



And also hurt.

 

[neo2046]

too bad

 

[Danj]

Japanese magazines read GAF?

Apparently so. I guess that means we're just too awesome for our own good.

 

[Crushed]

down with sp0rsk

 

[Dead Prince]

That's why you guys should only have posted text links without the publishers knowing lawlz.

 

[CosmicGroinPull]

FIRST HARRISON NOW THIS?????

 

[Haunted]

boo!

too bad

We still love you.

down with sp0rsk

*backs away slowly*

 

[Eteric Rice]

What about ripping screenshots from those scans and posting them?

CAN WE DO THAT PLEASE?!?! :O

If you can't do that for english scans why should it be any different here?

 

[DXB-KNIGHT]

Japan scans are banned man!

 

[Jonnyram]

Why not ban anything that falls under copyright law? It's only fair.

 

[_Alkaline_]

 

[DefectiveReject]

So neo2046 becomes irrelevant??

 

[Crusade]

This is illogical

 

[StranGER]

isn't gaf hosted in the states?

made sense about scanning and hosting mags from the states.

this, is a bit odd though.

 

[FirewalkR]

Sticky this for a while, man, or else you'll have to ban a few people until everyone gets the message.

Oh wait...

 

[Android18a]

You can get these Japanese mags fairly easily.

Won't be as quick as teh nets, but www.jlist.com (Sites in the US and Japan) and www.japancentre.com (UK Site) both offer Japanese magazine subscriptions be it games or otherwise... I get Megami every month. I'm fairly sure you can get Famitsu from those sites, and it's always more fun having the mag there in your sweaty palms.

 

[Crushed]

This is retarded. It's not like we can even BUY the magazines. Barely anyone here lives in goddamn Japan.

Seriously, is (Japanese magazine) concerned about losing the lucrative US and European market that they aren't present in?

 

[Oldschoolgamer]

This is retarded. It's not like we can even BUY the magazines. Barely anyone here lives in goddamn Japan.

Oh well, anyone who's not a NUB can find scans in 1 second.

Pretty much.

Banned.

[Chris Michael]

I can't wait for Famitsu to come out tomorrow, and I'll be looking at scans on another site, and be going,'Man these are such AWESOME scans" while all the nubs whine

Where are you going to find the scans if the people that normally scan the scans POST HERE?
