Why is NeoGaf so predominantly male?

That doofus from hackers?
Yup. It sucks.
Shots fired. D:
I'm more interested in watching Elementary than Sherlock, too. Sorry Fiction.
Let's not do anything dangerous now.
But I gotta admit, the gender swaps in Elementary is very interesting.

Gaf is predominantly male obviously because its primarily a gaming forum and gaming primarily male. Now with that said, the off topic side of Gaf is far more bearable and entertaining than the gaming side, which is a revolving door of shit now that new systems are close to release.
thanks Tommy.

Why not both?
I watch both! It doesn't have to be an either or thing!

this thread is now about how good Sherlock is, sorry
Some of the OTs are a relative safe haven I think, but then that's because you're focused on a game, possibly one without huge mainstream draw like Rune Factory or Etrian Odyssey that will innately draw a smaller crowd nevermind an import-only one like Sen no Kiseki, and so new console fighting won't really be relevant there.

The winning side is CLEARLY Sherlock, the production values alone....
Elementary is a great show too! But that Sherlock lacks the underlying fragility of BBCs Sherlock, which I think humanizes him and I love
Every thread I am in somehow turns into this without me even trying. BEHOLD, THE POWER OF SHERLOCK.

It's funny that one guy was like "we're not all necessarily thinking the same thing" but so many guys come in to repeat the same thing.

He seems to have a lot of a sassy attitude in Sherlock in the handful of clips I've seen. Not sure if want...

It is very likely. If not, I have a Martin Freeman or Mark Gatiss
The thing about that Sherlock that is so compelling is that he's had a much rougher time of it. Judging by his brother, he was raised in a very loveless environment, and is thus a mess of outward facing knives. But as you watch the show you get to see these glimpses of what's underneath all of that. His inability to deal with the emotion he feels at times is crippling and nearly gets him killed
The Elementary Sherlock seems to have a handle on stuff. He's more together, and though everyone around him talks about how rude he is, he isn't actually rude at all. I do like the fact that they are making Joan a bit more bamf (please please please more bamf Joan), and I dislike the fact in Sherlock that John was bamf as hell first episode but hasn't gotten much in the way of being able to show that off since. (Please please please let John before more bamf)

Go yell at Fiction to derecommend it so I can start watching it.
Cody Rhodes will never return to the WWE.
Thanks to this thread, I now need to finish the last ep of season 1's Sherlock.
You do. Though I may be biased since I'm a sassy person.

Lol, I totally want to go marathon Sherlock again.
I think that's the best thing to come out of this thread.
he'd better! I'm afraid his dad will ruin everything though. ever since he lost the mustache I feel weird. I don't like mustaches generally.

let's just all agree that this is probably the best Sherlock TV show

Really? I hated his mustache, totally felt like a forced porn 'stace.
Haha, I watched this so much as a kid. I watched like 3 or 4 episodes the other day because of nostalgia.

Sherlock is overrated
But still good and enjoyable
Just not amazing

The RDJ movies do several things much better, and a couple things significantly worse

I miss mask Cody
:lol That looks absurd. I wish I had more time to watch. I only get to catch main event once in a while which is just recaps and B level stars.

those couple things better be "plot" and "characters"
I'm willing to allow the films to be better at, say, CG, or having Jude Law in them, for example
Usually I'd agree with you since I don't like when things are either or. But Moffat.Why not both?

Buffy/Angel gifs > Sherlock gifs
The last tv series based on sherlock holmes I watched was .... the first 3 seasons of House =P
The Technomancer

Why yes, I do think the films do a more interesting job with the character then the version of Holmes we see on Sherlock who feels like he has been designed to be just neurotic and self-absorbed enough to appeal to self-diagnosed teens on the internet who think they are sociopaths. RDJ's character edges a bit closer to actually being dysfunctional and non-romantically selfish, and that's more interesting to me.
Sherlock has significantly better actual mysteries, which is admittedly an enormous part of the material. But you really don't want to get me started on Moriarty.

I have tons of Buffy gifs too, just not a lot I can use in many situations heh.
I was a huge fan of the books, so I consume all things Sherlock.

It's good! I promise!
In all seriousness, the best actor on the show is Martin Freeman. He completely owns the subtle humor and quiet badassness that is needed to play a decent John.
Edit: Now we need a title change that says 'Why is Neogaf so in love with Sherlock?'

I'm more tempted to try Doctor Who but they switched doctors which is kind of disappointing.
The Technomancer
card-carrying scientician
Yes. He and the actual plots are the main reason I'm going to keep watching.
The Technomancer

Its not actually. Its really interesting and refreshing. You get like three plus seasons with most Doctors so its still a lengthy chunk of time and then when they switch you get to watch an entirely new set of character interactions
User 100115

Hee, they switch Doctors all the time, that's one of the basic tenets (heh) of the show. He's an alien that, when close to death, regenerates every cell in his body, thus, changes his appearance. There have been three Doctor's since the series restarted in 2005, soon to be four.

Trust me. After three series of any doctor you'll come around on that.
I'll come back when the thread title is: "Why is NeoGAF so in love with Batman?" *slinks away*
I don't want to. And so I don't. Unless someone makes a "Dave Grohl sure is looking good" thread.
Zaraki_Kenpachi

I don't know, I didn't really have any desire to watch it until I saw a couple interviews with the last doctor and he actually seemed pretty cool which is what made me want to watch it.
There's people who don't like batman? :O
