Don't allow guests

won't happen.

And actually, last year wasn't that bad. The forum gets a little slower during the conferences, and after that, it gets back to "normal"

 

[Buttonbasher]

Didn't they used to ban all juniors E3 week too, or am I confusing that with Guests?

 

[RumblingRosco]

Time to draw the digital line. Close down the Gaming right now?

FOR/AGAINST

Fixed, and, FOR!

Woa that would be a good solution as well as the no guests one DO IT!

 

[WORLDWIDEWII]

during live conference, i always have to hit F5 every second because the amount of news coming in to GAF

 

[Kevtones]

hey wait, when is E3 this year?

 

[Ephemeris]

Actually, this vid : http://youtube.com/watch?v=IH2w2l1JTs4 still makes me laugh to this day. Of course it's a fanboy edit, but it's pretty damn funny, lame Afrika jokes aside.

I tried watching this with a straight face.. then the crab jumped out. :lol

The E3 give the most of us a good reason to log-in #ga

Well at least if your ISP isn't completely banned

NOOOOO I want to participate 8*(

 

[Buttonbasher]

I could be wrong.

it'd be just as awesome an idea if you were still a junior or were waiting account activation too, huh?

proxy?

 

[Ydahs]

I'll be missing this E3 as I have school camp. I'll get my brother to download the Nintendo conference while I'll browse through the topic!

proxy?

Well, only though port 80 (TPG), which doesn't affect IRC. Everything else should be my going to my Static IP, however it seems TPG is banned from the channel.

 

[Skiptastic]

Oh shit...

I just realized that The Dark Knight will be opening when the Off Topic forum will be down due to E3. We won't be able to have nerdgasms about the movie!!!

MY GOD. WHAT HAVE WE DONE?

 

[jrricky]

GAF survived Thursdayton.

GAF will survive E3, no matter how its sliced.

what was thursdayton again?

Oh and I cant wait.

 

[imek]

what was thursdayton again?

Oh and I cant wait.

DQ IX I believe. What a memorable moment that was.

 

[Guybrush Threepwood]

what was thursdayton again?

July 7th London bombings.

you're trying to use a http proxy, use something like SOCKS/tor.

 

[imek]

I meant that there's no actual proxy running other than for HTTP traffic.

 

[viciouskillersquirrel]

It was a thread during an E3 last gen (after an underwhelming first few days) where infamous anti-Nintendo troll Drinky Crow posted a thread titled: "THURSDAYTON" and the only thing in the OP was "Believe".

Because Drinky apparently has contacts in the industry, people asked him what he was hiding. He hinted that the news was huge and that it would make him and the rest of the Sony patrol very unhappy. Cue thousands of posts of fevered speculation by Nintendo fans.

Thing is, Thursdayton didn't exist. He was just trolling.

there are plenty of free to use SOCKS proxies

as for TOR its not isp based, so no problem there. you just download the latest build, run the gui, then set proxy settings in your irc client; if you do decide to use it though make sure you only use it for irc.... web browsing through the tor network is slow as fuck

[Caesar III]

Diablo III and Megaman 9, not to mention the MGS4, NG II, Spore creator, and GTA IV topics. Doesnt seem THAT dead around here.

yeah, sure, but I think there is not as much going on as earlier this year, say february, even with all these games and announcements.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

It just seems like E3 is going to be horrible any way you slice it.

If Animal Crossing is there then that slice will be a piece of cake. Heh.

I dunno but it seems at least Nintendo seems like it might deliver like it used to. Kid Icarus, AC, maybe Zelda, more exclusives, storage stuff, etc. I feel this is only the calm before the storm.

Karma's a bitch, isn't it though? PS3 owners are basically "wait until ______" right now, seems things have reversed. :lol

IMO there is no way Nintendo will repeat last years E3. They are whooping too much ass to have another youtube clips presentation.

 

[jacobs34]

At this point Nintendo could announce 0 games at E3 and the Wii would still outsell its competitors for the rest of the year. They are really in a situation where they can do no wrong until the mass market moves on to the next big thing. I'm not saying that's a good or bad thing, it's just the way it is.

Don't be mistaken, there will still be graphs and numbers. There always are. But yeah I don't think YT vids will be much of a presence.

july 14th-17th is going to be awesome...then on the 18th with some dark knight is icing on the cake to a great week!

Fucking agreed. Movie, no, Film of the Forever.

 

[Olaeh]

Oh man, I just realized how close E3 is!

I love GAF come E3 time, it seems the rest of the internet is two steps behind.

 

[Slavik81]

This is what worries me. GAF has been 500ing like crazy for the past couple of months... I don't see how it's going to be able to withstand E3.

Yeah. Nintendo's kind of like a fat man that has the virgin mary appear in the form of a Root Beer Stain on his white T Shirt and posts a videoblog describing the event on Youtube. People never stop watching it, and he rarely has to do anything more to keep the attention coming.
