Niro's post reminded me of this:
So yeah, control your orgasms, lads and ladies and laddies.

especially if they are people sniping at each other

Well, as an aspiring greenhorn NintenGAFer, I must say I find it incredibly useful to read this post on my first day. That's pretty much the definition of excellent timing.
That being said, dully and fully noted, Nirolak. I'm still pretty confused about you, since the first time I read your name here was about you making troll threads and then every single post from you has been all serious, respectful and mod-ish. Eh, goes to show how new I am.
He fell in valiant battle. We need to post carefully from now until E3 says the mods.

I'm not worried about me. I've been banned so many times in so many places, I'm 100% rehabilitated. I figured out the key to not getting banned while still posting whatever I want.

I'm all good with the anti-console war thing but it still feels bad to lose some good quality Pro-Nintendo posters who are just a little too vocal about their love for WiiU
Don't get baited into defending WiiU guys and everything should be fine or the very least watch which threads you are stepping into

That's a pretty good policy recap, Nirolak -- I agree that it'd probably make a good sticky. It's sad to think that some of the bans might be permanent, maybe not where troublemakers are concerned - but certainly where people have just been a bit too... enthusiastically partisan or reactionary. If people write to you / stump as you suggest, dyou think there would be any scope for leeway / leniency - maybe a return after E3 has died down? Or are those kind of decisions typically final?
Oh, and that! I'm a relatively new member here, but even i typed in some drunken shit...stupid stuff...and re-read it to realize: maybe *hickup* not the best idea since web 2.0 to post. *falls asleep*
and i just cancled the post.
just think befor you post....oh and don't drink and post either....(lol, yeah)
I just don't get why people bait. What's the joy in watching someone get upset? We're here to discuss games, not act immature.
HylianTom's "teacher-student" analogy comes to mind, but it's still pathetic to do so IMO.
Yo Mario, check out my new stash. Smocked magic Shrooms straight from Bomb-Bomb land

So I'm understanding it's like that Harry Potter gif. Behave and you will have fun? It doesn't seem difficult.

Just to be safe you should act ambivalent to Nintendo and I should start reading scripture.
I post half as much as I intend to post due to my constant second-guessing about whether or not what I'm about to post is worth it. Typically makes me a silent one in most forums, but I've never gotten in trouble, so something there is working.

I drunk post though. I did it last OT, or was it the one before that. I read it the day after and LOL'd. Probably shouldn't have.

BURN THE WITCH!!!!
Oops, light studies while playing.. too distracting xD
Well, joke's on my side. My grammar errors: 100% my fault 'cause i just don't know better. Typing errors: 40% the super small keyboard on my mobille phone / 60% drunk
But hand me that stash of his before you do.
And 9 days 15 hours to be precise, if my top-of-my-head calculations are correct, and most of the time they're not.
So seriously, being realistic and on-topic, what I'm looking forward to the most this E3 is finding out what the hell is that original IP Miyamoto's working on. If you think about it, last time he did that, we got Pikmin. So shit's gon be gud.
As much fun as it is getting hyped for E3, it's going to be a sweet sweet release to just FINALLY know the scope of what will and won't be revealed. Like, what is Retro's new game? That is by far the most burning question of all. Like a splinter in the mind's eye!
On a side note, I watched the Upad reveal trailer again recently (from E3 2011) and I'm actually kind of excited to play a NSMB title in crisp, clean HD graphics. The art really seems to "pop" in motion in HD, like the promo assets come to life. I wonder in what ways the controller might enhance such a game, other than the already advertised away-from-TV play.

Indeed.
I don't want to lose any more people. But every time something happens to someone, I come out and say this, and someone still acts in a way that gets them banned. Kinda depressing.
And Nirolak, I really appreciate your clarification post.

and you'd think no one else will be banned after this was all made clear

I still can't imagine how Nintendos games will look like with such a boost of power, even after Zeruda tech demo. I'm as curious about Retro Studios as any other studio that isn't making Mario Mii or Wii Fit games.

Is the bandage banned?
He seemed like a needed counter-weight to balance out the Nintendo doom in the latest couple of Wii U threads.
Though, I am starting to succumb to the nintendoom myself lately - I really have no high expectations whatsoever for the Wii U. I'm not even sure it's worth it just for HD Nintendo games, I don't really care about graphics alone - I am interested in better physics/A.I/gameplay.

That, my friend, is what makes this E3 so magical.
Dammit, I'm hyped again. How the hell are we supposed to kill 9 and a half days worth of time? Posting here certainly isn't helping.

"BE CAREFUL FOLKS" posts always make me chuckle. It's like the guy saying it is professing he's mostly a crappy poster, and feels similarly about the posters that are often around him.
Don't be careful, just don't be crap. It's so fucking easy to do the latter.

Well.. I just suspect that many people around here feel very strongly about certain topics or industry entities; if they don't soften their message/wording/stance when discussing these topics, then it's trouble time. So a gentle reminder goes out. Can't hurt, although I can see how you'd find it silly.
I'm a crappy poster at times. But I usually have a decent "You Really Shouldn't Post That!" filter.

Well you're not going to get better with that attitude!
You've actually got a really easy fix- just don't get so invested in stuff. Take a step back and breath. I'm not trying to say I'm the fucking NeoGAF messiah and a bastion of great posting- pfft, fucking far from it- but that's just my observation.
Mine was malfunctioning, hence my last ban.

Of course. That's why Nintendo better not fuck this up, otherwise there won't be any chance of blowing people away like this for yet another 6 years or longer.
That Zelda demo was weak, like up-ressed TP with some sparkles thrown in. An actual WiiU Zelda, built from the ground up, will look far better.

Top secret Wii U info?
1. Wii U is a lot more powerful than people think, a lot more capable than what the Zelda/Bird tech demos showed.
Like the controller concerns (now has clickable analogue sticks), Nintendo also listened to the power concerns.
---
2. Nintendo won't be selling for a profit at launch, they expect to be at least 1 year ahead of the competition and thus powered their machine to not be outdated.
They still expect to be the weakest machine but not by a big margin; they expect less than the gap of the 6th generation systems (PS2/GCN/Xbox).

Is this crazy?

I think the gap between the Wii U and the PS4 will be equivalent of the gap between the Dreamcast and the PS2.
I'm not sure about the Xbox 8 though, if Microsoft uses a subscription bundle they can cut down the initial price and offer a higher-powered machine at a price that looks low to the consumer (the subscription might even be recognized as a bonus "gonna get the live anyway so whatevah")

That's exactly why I'm HYPED!
If they can make Zelda look like that just taking TP assets, I really wonder what they can do if there REALLY put some work into it.
If they can make it look as good as Uncharted 2 or God of War III, that'd be more than enough. However, I don't see Nintendo caring that much about graphics. And frankly, I don't either. (Even as I sit here maxing out Alan Wake American Nightmare on PC.)
I was playing Mario Kart Wii the other day on my little portable tv with my headphones
and I was amazed by the quality of sounds the game has and I was thinking... how cool would it be if all the Wii U games had 3D/Surround sound on the controller. Where you can tell how close/far players are or what side of the track the sounds are coming from.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dldK-TB9cUw
I'm totally against hackers/cheaters, but it's the perfect example
The voices, shells, stars and all that stuff sound amazing.
Here I am hoping Nintendo improves the sound department.

RIP AceBandage, and sorry to the others (incl. Poo).
Nintendo doesn't necessarily about graphics when building their systems, and they know graphics aren't everything when making games in general, but they seem to always try hard to get the best graphics they can out of their system when they release a big game. Mario Sunshine and Galaxy had amazing graphics, as did Wind Waker, Twilight Princess, and Skyward Sword (though I wasn't a huge fan of the latter's outside of art style).
Not every part of Nintendo tries to max out the graphics. But many of them do, including EAD and Retro.

Wonder if they will limit themselves with 60fps? When you look at the best looking games on other consoles they're all 30fps.
