Support NeoGAF

[blame space]

if you have something to say, why aren't you just saying it to people in your life? if you're turning to an online community to speak, isn't that a sign of mental imbalance? does anyone feel that posting is ok in that situation?

why are we here?

 

[Unknown Soldier]

I'm here to read your quality posts.

 

[DUFFMCWALIN]

Putting off senior projects that are due in three days?

 

[showx]

Well it is fucking addictive I'll give you that.

 

[el retorno]

mental breakdown?

 

[blame space]

senior projects oh my god that sounds horrible

 

[crazy monkey]

it is a mode of entertainment.

 

[Reiko]

Is this real life?

 

[You Are Viewtiful]

Can't be a fucking disease if no one's getting laid.

 

[Risette]

all the people i talk to on the internet are too far away to talk to in real life efficiently ??

 

[Ryaaan14]

I can't afford a good enough PA system to announce my thoughts to the surrounding area.

 

[FrostuTheNinja]

You alright blame space?

[Dark Stalkers]

no shit

 

[Devolution]

Great way to procrastinate. The myriad of topics plus high rate of conversation. Addictive shit that's for sure. Not good for depression or ADD.

 

[AzureSkies]

It's my escape from trying to finish all of these projects that are due in the next couple of days.

Mainly because I hate analyzing and writing about poetry with a burning passion.

 

[nailbombxx]

I'm already dead.

 

[arab]

why are you posting this instead of telling her how you really feels

 

[Feep]

I side with timedog

 

[3N16MA]

What if GAF is your life?

 

[PigSpeakers]

It's even worse because no one wants to listen to my thoughts online either

 

[Christina Mackenzie]

Anonymity.

 

[mullet2000]

This is my real life now.

you know the answer to your question yet you ask why?

 

[Cameron122]

But blame space


you're not in my real life ;~;

 

[Seance]

My family are not the kind of people I want to discuss with the kinds of thinks I like discussing. Message boards are just a convenient pool of like-minded people to share ideas and opinions with.

Want to really procrastinate? Start posting useless gifs!

 

[Cameron122]

indeed, kinda thinkin' of taking a step back a bit actually

phone people and see people and stuff

You're not allowed to take a step back until you have a tag, son.

 

[whitehawk]

Because this community generally has similar interests, (video games) that not all my friends have. It's a good place to discuss video games in more depth than I ever could with most of my friends.

 

[Dr. Malik]

Anonymity.

this

and its easier to find people on a forum as big as this one to talk about a subject than to find someone irl who gives a shit about why IM2 sucks

I enjoy the (relative) anonymity.

Plus the diversity of people, cultures and opinions here is brilliant.

Summed up in a single post.

[CarpeDeezNutz]

Gives me laughs and other gaffers post interesting stuff/music... But most importantly...

Is it Shiraz or Shiraz?

 

[arab]

are you asking your friends in real life about why they don't take advantage of message boards?

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Most of the stuff I talk about on forums is stuff no one IRL is that interested in talking about with me lol.

Oh wait blamespace thread.

 

[MormaPope]

Instant discussion and discourse, can find people and discussions I'm really passionate about that people in my life outside Gaf aren't. Coming to Gaf and posting has made me a much better tactician when it comes to debate and discourse, it's even helped me socialize or communicate better outside the internet.

 

[nailbombxx]

I'm allergic to people IRL.

 

[FrostuTheNinja]

Is it Shiraz or Shiraz?

I was told that it's Shiraz.

 

[braves01]

If neogaf is a disease I want a medical marihuana card for it.

no never

 

[Lavalamp1138]

On the internet I can be a lavalamp who looks like a god damn anime character. Fuck everything else, I'ma do me booboo.

 

[alekth]

I'd be absolutely pissed off if the people in my life came to me to tell me all thy wanted to say instead of writing it somewhere on the net.

 

[Ahasverus]

Aren't you a junior junior member? Mind blown

 

[Pau]

I need forums 'cause when I talk about Batman irl people just nod politely and wait for me to shut up.
