You guys have made your point, now go put your next door neighbor under citizens arrest for jay walking or something.

We'll make as many points as we care to make as long as it's on topic- who the fvck are you anyway? The Grand Salami?  You're about as effective a policeman as Alice the Goon- maybe it's you who should settle down and take off the cowboy hat and dual cap gun set with holster belt.  You had your say- you said your piece, several pieces on the matter in fact- now take off the principle's shoes because no one's going to listen to your SETTLE DOWN PEOPLE schtick.  Hell did you expect anyway?  "YES MASTER ZETA- YOU ARE SOO RIGHT- WE WILL ALL NOW STOP TALKING ABOUT THIS- ESPECIALLY AFTER YOU'VE HAD YOUR SAY AS YOUR SAY IS THE FINAL ICING ON ONLY THE MOST DELICIOUS OF CAKES"?  It's equally as absurd as Mike rolling over to Alex's E-lawyer threat which you pointed out.

Furthermore- you can keep trying to pin on my friend the title of "looser" when he isn't here to defend himself- but if you took a poll on how many here considered you a winner- you may be the only one surprised by the results.

[Fighting Street / Re: Why is everyone so God-damn sensitive around here?]

I would be interested to hear what the moderators would constitute an appropriate use of the report feature. If they feel that I was out of order using it in that particular thread then I am quite prepared to accept that and refrain from using it again.

I doubt they would say that.  The option is there to use as you please- so fire away.  I'm just voicing an opinion- and my opinion never included a statement that the moderators would feel you were "out of order"- which is completely different from being an insta-snitch.  "Out of Order" conjures something against the rules or unacceptable.  It's just as I stated- that I have doubts that it would have led to my banning had no one raised a stink about it.  I don't feel that Joe would admit it- but I don't think it would have gone further than a warning and/or a locked thread.  Perhaps I'm wrong.  I'm just going by what's happened here in the past.

Let's just suffice it to say that you're the last person I'd want to be on a "team" with- be it a sunteam, a moonteam, or a bocce ball team- and let's leave it at that- unless you'd like to further try to distort my ire and reasoning to fit some clouded chaotic view like you attempted in the last two posts.  You quick-fire whistle-blew/snitched- and I didn't care for it- nor do I have to.  I can keep spelling it out for you in oversized letter blocks but something tells me it doesn't matter- you'll continue trying to stuff words into my mouth until any point made here is past exhausted.

[Off-Topic / Re: Risingstuff.com]

Worthy of laughs, surely...


Hey Mike,
So I was out jogging today (great hobby, you should try it out some time to relieve all that stress) and mulling over what to do about this situation with you and it occurred to me: What do I really care what some jackass on the Internet thinks or says about my store? Kind of silly right? I mean, I do a decent job with my company and I can definitely say I please the greater majority of customers. So why would I need any further validation than their continued patronage?
What I realized would be the greater pleasure in life is never having to hear from you again. I mean, I don't even read all of these text walls you type up. They're just too long and straying from any real point for me (sorry).
 
So with that, I'm gonna say goodbye. Wish you the best in persuing justice against pretty much everyone you've ever bought from. Hope it all works out for you.
- Alex


So there we go.  I'm going to make the leap here and draw several conclusions-

1) Stressed out?  be like Alex- jog.  It won't stop you from e-lawyering those who try to warn others on your documented tactics even though you're having the best business year EVA- but it'll surely do something.

2) if you have any criticism- even if just and informed- of Alex's store- then you're a "jackass".

3) Alex doesn't read all of the communication from Mike- he just miraculously conjures up the gist and then tries to answer it in full- up until the point where he can't come up with any moar stories because they all fall flat like stone slabs- then it's "what do I care anyway?  I'm only the guy who made a big deal about it"


Alex- I must say- you're reaching.  Mike is ALWAYS the first to tell me who he considers good sellers that he's done business with- and he keeps quite an extensive list.  You can try to make people believe that Mike has it out for everyone he's ever bought from- but it's a total sham and an empty way to continue to deflect blame.


LOL- from your dp/neo forum spins-
"Alex here from Rising Stuff. When I wrote that letter I was having a pretty crappy day"...

Maybe you should have gone jogging that day, eh?

[Fighting Street / Re: Why is everyone so God-damn sensitive around here?]

I'm trying really hard to understand this. So you felt the ban was justified (as you said in your previous post), but your upset comes from that fact that people reported you for the actions that resulted in this ban, is that correct?

Perhaps you're trying a little too hard to understand- its not much of a brain-buster.  The ban was justified in accordance of the rules- I for one don't agree with the rules- but it's not my site.  The rules are there- however they are only casually enforced unless it's immediately called for such as in the case with Nintega- but that's another topic- for another thread.  Again- the ban itself doesn't annoy me- it's there in the rules and while I'm here I should try to abide by them.  Eventually a mod would have wondered into the offending thread regardless to perhaps merely lock it- which has pretty much been the norm.  If someone starts crying about it though- then a mod may feel more compelled to take harsher action for it's offending someone's sense of communal purity.   What annoys me is that one person who immediately blows the whistle- and there's always one in every family.  I never understood when I was little why my mother would get pissed at me for always ratting out my brother when he'd do this or that- shouldn't she be annoyed with him and not I?  I understood more clearly when I grew up and was able to compute the meaning of other's actions and to weigh them against my own. 

What it all comes down to is this -- Nobody likes a snitch. 

Also, you feel that having rules of conduct in place is fine, but we don't need to follow them because we're all grown up and should be free to throw personal insults at each other for an unrestricted forum experience. Yes?

Don't be snarky and put fucking words in my mouth.  I never once advocated an unrestricted forum experience.  Locking a thread and banning someone for the occasional heated jab though are two different things- both involving restrictions- one (the former) is very effective and is utilized constantly on much worse threads I might add than the offending one- by the head of this site.  The latter can be a touch excessive.  Further more in the way of restrictions- certain people need to be ousted immediately- as they come with serious mental baggage- e.g. Nintega.  Threads need to be kept on topic.  CONSTANT personal abuse should garner warnings- and if those warnings aren't heeded then more direct action.  I am not some staunch advocate of chaos like you seem to suggest.

[Fighting Street / Re: Why is everyone so God-damn sensitive around here?]

So pretty much what this all boils down to is that you're a stickler for the rules and that you see fit to help enforce them the instant infractions are born.  Your whistle-blowing character has been noted- thanks for the clarification.

You know- I question if I would even have been banned if it wasn't for the fact that a party- or several parties or whatever the case may be- complained.  I question this because Joe was the one who gave me the swift boot- and me and Mike and Joe had plenty of fun awhile back and Joe's skin proved thick enough to let insults wash off him- and he is a moderator- I can think of numerous moderators on other forums that would have given me the boot the second I said that they resembled this person or whatever- but Joe didn't take any of it to heart- he knew it was all fun and games- a little letting off of steam and a few pokes and jabs that grown men shouldn't concern themselves over.  True enough- the rules are written there- but the penalties are really only paid out when a few heart-clutchers feel fit to complain- thereby forcing a moderator to dole out a punishment that he otherwise would have left as is- thinking that perhaps tougher skins would prevail.  To me- whether he'd admit it or not- Joe correctly explaining that the two week ban wouldn't be that big a deal to me on that thread was his way of saying- "hey guys- I know this is bullshit- but it's not gonna be a big deal for Sinistron"- not saying that Joe gives a rat's ass how I feel- probably wouldn't mind if I took a flying fuck off the Brooklyn Bridge- but to me it's him being mindful of how upright and overly strict the ban seemed.

So yes- thank you for clarifying that you are an overly-sensitive whistler blower.  I'll try my best to diffuse all my posts of passion and "colour"- because the rules are rules, and these internet digs can be so painful.

[Off-Topic / Re: Risingstuff.com]

I said my piece, you can continue being a total fucking spaz now.

Here's your chance Sunteam!  Report to moderator! Report to moderator!  Just kidding.  We can handle ourselves here- the brutish American troglodytes that we are.

Never mind that Zeta- that wasn't for you.

This is-

It is amusing that you get your piece in on page three- where you essentially not only AGREE with the posts regarding Rising's stupidity- "WTF, are they trying to be funny or something? I don't get it" but BEGIN a whole new thread of bitterness by blasting a former member who's no longer here to defend himself- "The guy is fucking pathetic and needs help"- but then when posts follow further expounding on Rising's stupidity- on a thread entitled "Risingstuff.com"- that you ALREADY agreed with- that then it's time for everyone to chill out- Commander Zeta is at the helm and everyone should buckle down and enjoy the smooth sailing- and yeah pretty much what Nectar said- you telling people to chill is like Hitler saying all the world needs is a little more love.  You've officially been the sourest of all Sour Patch Kids as long as I've been here (with possible exception of Zeon who cries about everything- WTF is it with you "Z" guys?).  You retracted into your shell for a spell only due to constant shellacking courtesy of Mike- which makes your digs at him here now that he's no longer a member all the more laughable.  You strike me as one of these guys who never calculates his own actions into the equation- it's all outward perception- all Planet Zeta, everyday on every channel.  Must be bliss.

[Fighting Street / Re: Why is everyone so God-damn sensitive around here?]

My colorful insults are to remain anonymously directed- otherwise I waltz whilst whistling back into "ban" territory- 

But I'll reply to your post Paul-
once again- it wasn't that I felt that the two week ban wasn't just- and I surely wasn't bitter over the actual action.  As Joe noted on the offending thread I really haven't been coming here that much as of late.  truth is that since I don't have time lately to play PCE that I feel a tad fraudulent in frequenting the site- then right after my banning I've suffered huge personal loss with the death of my father and to tell true this place or any internet hub couldn't have been further from my mind.  Also as I noted I felt Joe was just doing his job.

What grates me more and more so as it was brought up on this thread is indeed the hypersensitivity.  You say maybe you're just getting old- well I take that as slightly condescending and if your inference was that most of us here are young- signaled by our "playground" talk- then you're totally missing that this is a CLASSIC gaming forum and that most of the core or longer-time members here were born in the early to mid 70's.  So perhaps you're just "politely British" as you say- though most of the British that I know are of a sarcastic lot- and they have their own words for 'pussy' and 'vagina'- e.g. minge, quim, fanny- perhaps these words meaning the same thing are just classier in your opinion than the awful, crude American standards (of course none of this mentioning the redundant British usage of the term "CUNT")- either that or it's not at all that you're "politely British" (man, what an upward nose turning comment), or old like most of us- but again- just that you're hypersensitive.

As for your issue that you "do feel that just because the internet gives you freedom to be scathing, rude and insulting with virtually no comeback, that doesn't mean you should"- are you suggesting that Arkhan was incapable of comeback?  He seems rather outspoken and capable of it himself- as well as having his own fair share of piss and vinegar. As for your bits about what "devalues the community"- clearly it is your own opinion- but know that a COMMUNITY by definition is made up of its members- and some of its members are outspoken- so they are already a part of that community whose standards you have your own ideas about- unless of course you feel that these people SHOULD NO LONGER be part of the "community"- that they should be outcast?  Mike Helgeson was part of the community for a long time- and quite a few people felt similar as they do with me- that the community would be better without him.  Mike was PART of that community- you understand?  YOU CAN'T MOLD A COMMUNITY OF PEOPLE INTO YOUR OWN STANDARDS- or maybe you can- just ask Hitler.

As for your bit about what you feel drives people new and old away from the forum- this EXACT thread that you are posting on now offers a different viewpoint- as the OP suggests that the reason that traffic is lower here in comparison with other forums is BECAUSE people are too HYPERSENSITIVE here.  I tend to agree.  At LEAST two of the three moderators here agree to an extent too- at least that people here are too sensitive- and damn if they aren't part of your vaulted "community".

Finally- Sunteam Paul- no apologies needed for making a "rational post" in Fighting Street- we're all just brutish, crude and mindless American savages here.

[Fighting Street / Re: Why is everyone so God-damn sensitive around here?]

I like rats.  I have like 20 of them.

be careful with those and what you use them for- I hear they'll eat right through you if hungry enough.

and yeah I was kind of sad I missed out on being the one to hit the report button.

You're kind of sad regardless- it's all par for the norm eh?

  Someone else beat me to it.

If this is just so no one thinks it was you- don't worry.  I know it wasn't.  Roy seemed to think I was talking about you though- maybe Roy thinks you look like a rat and have sex with dolls- maybe you should talk to him about this.

maybe next time.

Maybe.

[Fighting Street / Re: Why is everyone so God-damn sensitive around here?]

Personally I do feel NecroPhile jumped down that guy's throat a bit in that MS thread- the guy didn't come off as demanding as NecroPhile made it out to be- but hey I've been known to jump down the occasional throat myself- so who am I to care about it one way or the other. 

But- I mean- you have to appreciate the conundrum of this thread- "Why is everyone so God-damn sensitive around here?"  I guess the irony is missing on Arjak- but yeah he's pretty much right.  You have to figure- if you can't get through an ONLINE FORUM without getting your panties in a twist- how are you gonna get through life?  I'm guessing that most of the crybabies here don't.  They just hole up in their rooms and play video games until they cry themselves to sleep cuddled up next to an anime doll with it's vaginal area torn out and replaced with a pocket pussy.  Some people need to grow a fucking pair- stop taking other's opinions so seriously and realize that a life with only rainbows A) isn't a life worth living and B) isn't realistic.  So you read through a few tiny flame wars here and there- you see a minor insult- then OMG I just can't deal!  Report topic to moderator- report topic to moderator- like the little rat (I know who you are) that reported me the SECOND after my last post that got me bounced from here for two weeks.  Not saying I didn't deserve it- and not saying that Joe wasn't just doing his job- but c'mon man- you gotta be THAT mousy mascot of wholesomeness with the mouse feverishly under your hand just waiting to report the first little spark of fucking LIFE that you see on a WEB FORUM?  Shame on you.  You sir- have a vagina in the pants.

[Fighting Street / Re: Dave Medina: still crazy after all these years]

You see?  Now I feel you guys are beginning to understand- for I was blamed by at least some of you back then for egging this guy on- how have you guys provoked him?  It doesn't matter what you do.  I haven't been active on YT in the longest time- so I'm not really dealing with him- so he just goes down the line of people from PCFX.  After his banning from here I feel like he was most obsessive with me, Mike and Nectar because his damaged mind told him that the three of us WERE pcengine-fx.com- probably because we'd always be on shout and we were the ones who had to deal with him when he'd show up- he'd probably be shocked to find out that I myself have been banned from this site recently.  Of course there was more to it than that- he seemed to look up to us and try to impress us- he even listened to our advice at times (like throwing out his infamous Boobies Make Me Smile shirt and turning back from his campaign to humiliate some 14 year old kid he was terrrorizing on YT)- but in the end- or by the end of each day rather- he'd return to form and be the same obnoxious, unfunny, racist, biased, annoying and uninformed jackass that we've all come to know and hate.  I've felt- and this has been confirmed by him in letters to my YT account- that it has to do with his meds.  When he's on them- he's calm and docile- when he's off- he's downright creepy.  I imagine him having blown up magnified printouts of most of us adorning his basement room walls- with all sorts of psychotic viscera drawn on them in stark red ink.

[Off-Topic / Re: Risingstuff.com]

Your store's having the best year yet so far- so you figure now's a fine time to make hollow e-lawyer threats to someone who hasn't spoken up on an issue involving you since last October?  You're either power hungry and deluded or you're stretching the truth a bit, no?

Regardless of all this- I never dealt with you guys because I knew exactly what ilk you guys were when I heard about that issue of you guys posting Nectar's and Wind's buyer's guide, erasing their credit like the two of you actually wrote it, and also deleting any mention of other stores and links and then making a tantrum about it when it was brought to light.  You guys've been a real piece of work since day one.  And Helgeson called your bluff didn't he?  You said yourself you had no real intention of suing anyone- so your whole act with him was a lie- the tactic speaks for itself and your character. 

A real hoot too- did you actually think Mike was gonna start shaking in his boots and issue a public apology for stuff that he was able to back up- and for other bits such as "it appeared that they were banking on and taking advantage of the fact people thought they were nice guys" which are clearly stated as an opinion and yet included in your hollow e-lawyer threat as "erroneous and false statements"? 

You banned Mike from your site- and you claim he was so bitter about it and stalked you and this that and the third- I talk to Mike every weekday- he mentioned it once for laughs back when it happened and hasn't mentioned it since.  His review of your store has been sitting on his site for some time.  Before this new issue that you started he hasn't communicated with you since last October on Digital Press concerning some other guy's beef with you.  So who's the one telling lies and slandering and stalking who? 

If this is your "best year so far" (man- that sounds so childish in this context)- then you should have sat back and counted your blessings instead of thinking yourself superhero enough to go kicking a hornet's nest- because I got news for you- you're no superhero and speaking for myself I've been very unimpressed with your character from jump street.

OP- I found Powergate to be fun as hell.  Obviously didn't go into it expecting any sort of masterpiece- and was rewarded with the exact experience I expected- early SMS level graphics and tolerable and easy to pick up gameplay that was quick to master.  Fun clear.

[Localizations, Games, Apps, Docs / Re: Mysterious Song Pre-Orders Are Open!]

Roy- you should know by now how one of my rants will read- full of piss and vinegar.  I only rant like that when I'm pissed off- and I'm past tired of this Arkhan clown.  If anything all he's done for Rover is a disservice A) Because it makes it look like Rove can barely answer for himself B) Because he tries to make this homebrew scene appear so L33T and above criticism, C) Because he keeps proving himself wrong as Rover's mouthpiece as now it is clear - from Rove's own mouth- that no one is getting refunded, D) because he comes off as a snob to anyone who brings up actual points- and instantly takes those points as hatred for his homebrew scene.  I'm sick of this guy.  Sick of how damn corny he is too.  He was on shout recently saying something like how he was hanging out with black guys and he was talking about how he loves tentacle rape and they were like "white boy you so crazy!" or some other corny ass thing.  This guy needs to get laid already, he needs to stop thinking so damn highly of himself, and he needs to stop acting like the designated mouthpiece for the homebrew scene- because he's making me and others sick of the whole thing already.  I'm seriously surprised that Rover let this guy run off at the lip like he's his spokesman for so long- because the guy just comes off like the world's biggest douche and the only one who can't see himself clearly.  Yeah- I know he "made a game", only the third released homebrew game for TurboGrafx so far- but that doesn't carry any weight with me.  The most any reviewer could say about the game was "Hey it kinda sucks but it's a new Turbo game! How cool is that?"  And as for "new"- it's Berzerk.  From Atari.  In my opinion it should've been shareware at most.  But that's cool -- whatever -- I didn't buy it.  Others did- maybe they enjoyed it.  Maybe not.  Not the point.  Even if it was the greatest thing since Drac X- which it so isn't- if you act like a douche then you're a douche period.  I don't care what you made- or copied.  Also- this carnival with this Mysterious Song has gone on too long.  Rove- even your defenders know in the back of their heads how bad this is all looking.  Get your shit straightened out already- return this guy his money- if you truly want to you'll find a way to do it- and tell this Arkhan to stop speaking for you- because he's doing a piss poor job of it.  And enough with the excuses.  You knew you had a full plate of problems when you started accepting preorders.  This whole bungle is your fault- no one else's.

Furthermore- let me address any concerns that this is not any of my business.  This is my business.  This is all of our business.  This is our Turbografx/PCE community.  This is a batch of people trying to continue the legacy of my and your favorite system- and if they fail, or give the scene a bad name for whatever reason- be it preorderers not getting their money refunded when they realize there's no product- or badmouthing anyone in the community who brings up a valid concern- or going all Rambo L33t on others because they're not in the "homebrew scene"- then it affects us.  The TG "homebrew scene" is still in its early infancy- plenty early enough to still come fully out of the womb with webbed feet.  All it takes is one jerkoff who thinks he's a rockstar and another guy- and Rove- seriously man- I consider you a friend- who can't take blame, passes off excuses and can't seem to take care of serious issues- or even want to.  Arkhan- you need to shut your mouth when grown folks are talking.  Rove- you need to apologize and take care of this refund business. 

That is all- I've said my piece- have at me if you will.

[Localizations, Games, Apps, Docs / Re: Mysterious Song Pre-Orders Are Open!]

Man.  This is completely ridiculous.

Rove man, I gotta say- I love you- but I gotta call it as I see it.  It's always been something- since I've been a member here there's been something going on with EBay, Paypal, problems with money, etc.  Now you're saying you can't refund anyone.  You mentioned you'd refund people on the Frozen Utopia site- said there'd be a refund option on the site-which never showed up (now the main Frozen Utopia site- the one you ran- is gone).  Returning people their money was never a priority and don't bullshit us by saying it ever was- I think most of us here have swallowed enough bullshit.  It's time for some clarity. 

Rove- a LOT of us here have problems we're coping with.  Yeah- you've been dealing with a full plate- all the more reason to have NEVER STARTING ACCEPTING PREORDER MONEY to begin with.  We've been through this whole shit with Dean already on this site- he had a lot of problems going on- and after a shitstorm, people not receiving their systems back and crap communication and response time- there was an apology to the tune of I-never-should-have-taken-the-work-with-all-that-was-going-on-in-my-life-at-the-moment.  and THIS is the song you should be singing.  Enough with the excuses.  We've ALL got problems.  Enough with the mud throwing from this Arkhan idiot who thinks that the "homebrew community" is above reproach.  Enough with blaming paypal, blaming life, blaming everything and everyone but yourself.  It's way past tired by now.

As far as this "homebrew community" goes that you guys get so uppity about- like this Lord Cack idiot crying that no one has any right to talk about his secret projects, and Arkhan saying that people with valid beefs are "hating" on the "community"-  NEWSFLASH: THERE IS NO TURBO HOMEBREW COMMUNITY.  Let's be REAL here for a second.  What has this highly vaulted homebew community produced- the way it's talked up in such revered tones?  A falling bricker with a twist (the bricks fall UP instead of down!), a version of Atari's Asteroids and a lackluster Berzerk clone- none of which bring anything new to the world of gaming- none of which bring many more ideas past the Atari age- none of which get the blood pumping.  As for Mysterious song- it's a computer game conversion that was supposed to be released 6+ years ago.  Sorry man- just telling it like it is.  I'll tell you what- when MindRec releases Xymati and or the Run n' Gunner- then you have a "homebrew scene".  Until then guys- what's been put out isn't anything to act like rock stars about- and I'm especially talking to you Arkhan.  This guy acts like he's the mouthpiece of some covert group of celebrities and talks to everyone else like any valid beef like some poor sap's nonrefundable cash is merely pissing and moaning by petty mortals.  I'm sick of it.  NEWSFLASH: Arkhan- you're really not that special.  You're just some guy who digitally created some bullshit girlfriend by morphing Rainbow Brite and a 8 year old Japanese chick, you're just some guy who himself wishes he was a girl- wearing purses and tight pants and using a Cyndi Lauper avatar because that's who you wish you truly were- even your "Insanity" character is bizarrely androgynous...  You haven't been laid, if ever, since Christ was a pup- and now here you are overcompensating for your life-fail by acting like you're the Captain of the ship of Tomorrow Land all because you slapped together some weaksauce Berzerk clone (with choice of either white or black casing!) as if none of us here have ever done anything as remotely "cool" as that.  Get over yourself dude. 

You know it's funny- I remember that it was supposedly always me and Mike Helgeson that were the upstarts- the problem childs.  Well- Mike's been gone for awhile- and I rarely come here anymore- and not only does the shit keep going on- but it's uglier and stupider than ever and it's coming from the opposite end of the camp.  No one's allowed to say anything.  No mere mortal can question that giant pillar of forward thought -- that which is THE HOMEBREW COMMUNITY.  Tell you what- if this is the way you guys are gonna act- like snooty rockstars unable to handle blame, diving down anyone's throat who has a valid concern -- over the pitiful product you've already put out and over the looooong delayed product you're still promising- then yeah-  Consider me someone who no longer gives a shit- consider me someone non-supportive of the cause.  Cry about me.  Ban me.  Call me a hater. 

Let me know when a real turbografx homebrew scene finally comes along.  Until then- fuck you all very much.

[Off-Topic / Re: IF YOUR AVATAR/PROFILE PIC IS OF A CHICK...]

Why not?  You sound so stern too.

Because it just have a level of "weirdness" to it, even though it's just a picture.

Correct- and the weirdness level applies to the options above.  The poll isn't about others liking to look at pics of hot chicks - it's about the mentality behind using one as an avatar.

This thread got me playing again- for the first time in at least a month.  Didn't play too long- though it was fun for a bit, then got a little bland and didn't make we want to keep pushing further.  The shield of planes is pretty cool- pretty original for pce shooties- what I don't like much is the sluggish speed, the monotonous enemies, and that it's pretty difficult to dodge in between some of the bosses' spray shots with that big hit zone due to your plane's wings- better to avoid the spray shots altogether and that just isn't much fun- looping around bosses like a pansy.

you really have no way of knowing how someones going to take a joke until you do it...  When you offend someone you're friends with, you usually try to smooth it over.  Well, at least I do.  I don't know what you do. 

[Off-Topic / Re: Twilight]

the daughter on ebay joke is a completely different tangent.   .  As soon as it was apparent that windancer wasn't hip to the joking, I removed the joke and everything's cool. 

wow man.  After all this time arguing.

Isn't it ironic?  That the moe calling everyone else insensitive pricks was really the most offensive?  Dead horse beating by Arkhan, get yours in Strawberry, Vanilla, and Mocha Creme.  Way to make it happen champ.

[Off-Topic / Re: Twilight]

you keep referring to "my biggest berzerk clone supporter".  that makes it sound like you are saying I only jump to his defense because of that.  You even said that if it were someone else I wouldn't have done anything.  Derp?

That is correct- that is what I believe.  There's no justifiable reason to jump to his defense otherwise- as the situation was entirely due to his own making.

So? It was directed at someone who wasn't flipping out.

Necro's Kentucky Hills dig wasn't directed at Wind either.  But according  to you it's all a bad joke- a bad joke which you continued on with in some format- the whole buying a daughter thing on ebay.  Then it's time for everyone else to chill out and apologize and relax because a grown man can't A) write properly B) read properly C) control his emotions.  Let's all apologize to him for his bullshit.  You see Arkhan- your insistence to argue with me on this point with failed logic is having the exact opposite effect of sweeping Wind's embarrassing comment and outburst under the rug.  All it's doing is highlighting it.  Good job.  I can sure see why he'd want you to fight his battles for him.  Just kidding.

If the person it's related to reacts poorly and takes it the wrong way, that pretty much constitutes a bad joke.

This one's particularly rich.  This must be a shining example of that Arkhan "common logic" you referred to.  So if you're in a room full of people playing Lords of Thunder- and one person doesn't like it- I guess it's because Lords is a bad game- not just a bad playing experience for him.  Unless you're just talking about the quality of the joke itself (you're not)?  Was it not funny enough for you?  Was hey man you can buy daughters on Ebay a better example of knee slapping humor?  We've already established a dozen fucking times that the joke was not an insinuation, wasn't even personally directed at wind- so perhaps you just mean it wasn't that funny- as it's been made crystal fucking clear that it wasn't in bad taste.

No flip flopping.

Defusing situations is a hell of a lot better than letting them explode

I was playing devils advocate.

No flip flopping.

I know what NecroPhile was saying.  I know what the intent was behind it.

Misinterpreting of tones occurred.

No flip flopping.

Rather than getting an apology or getting a "my bad" kind of clarity, he got a hard time.

Perhaps I misinterpreted some of the tone of "calm the fuck down man", and crap.

No flip flopping.

Thats insensitivity at it's finest.

maybe I over-reacted while defending Windancer.

No flip flopping eh?  And with this you pretty much cave in your whole argument.  Total lack of conviction.  Remind me not to have you on our debate team- because clearly you suck at it.

I never said anything about Windancer NOT flipping out.  You just assumed as much..... because it suits you?

I didn't assume anything.  The phrase "spastic reaction" was the key part of my point.  Meaning it's either a spastic reaction by Windancer or it was a bad joke.  If it wasn't a bad joke- his reaction was spastic.  If it was a bad joke- his reaction was called for.  Somehow however- according to you- it's both.

I thought you were a genius! :-D

Thanks.

What are you , the self proclaimed forum-cop?  You call all the shots, you decree who's been "pwned", etc. etc.?

lol you're so hung up on that are you?  Well for your information several people actually said "damn man you destroyed that kid"- so I guess I was in agreement with others.  Sorry to spoil your delusion that your sound thrashing was all in my head.

dont make it sound so bad that somone's drumming up some support and getting excited for homebrew.

Don't worry- I won't- nor have I.

so, how about you hang up your super villain cape, ill put my super hero one in the closet and that will be that.

Super villains are COOL.  You must think I'm pretty COOL, Arkhan.  Thanks guy.

[Off-Topic / Re: Twilight]

Besides, I'm sure y'all will be good for some more laughs.

[Off-Topic / Re: Twilight]

lol @ pwnage.

Yeah, I got a bit of a chuckle from that myself.

You make it out as if I don't talk to windancer every day and don't have any interactions with him other than Insanity.

Do I really "make it out" like you don't talk to windancer every day?  And in the context of my statement- if you do or don't only matters if you guys were great buds before you announced your game.

Direct insults are taboo.

insensitive pricks

The joke was interpreted as such

A bad joke in Fighting Street in the Twilight thread.

Apparently it was interpreted as such by yourself- and what exactly did you do about it- after the "bad joke"?

I wish I had a daughter.

i hear theyre cheap on ebay at the moment.

You told your own "bad joke" concerning daughters.  Everything's a big laugh.

I think it's YOU who is missing the point.  I know what NecroPhile was saying.  I know what the intent was behind it.

You "know" the intent- yet when you initially refer to it it's as a "bad joke" - not as a bad reaction by Windancer.  It takes til now for you to change your tune and call it for what it was-

the spastic reaction he got out of Windancer

Flip flop much?  Or only when it suits you- when your logic is getting shot full of holes?

You're so hell bent on forum battling me

Actually it's sort of tiresome- but I felt that calling you on it was necessary.  If it seems like I'm having a great deal of fun doing it- well...  everything's better with laughs.

Rather than getting an apology or getting a "my bad" kind of clarity, he got a hard time.   Thats insensitivity at it's finest.

Are you done with your version of it?  Here's the real version- much better and less skewed than yours.

The first post replying to Wind's outburst was my own- where I stated

NecroPhile didn't suggest that you have sex with your daughter- he suggested that the phrasing was confusing and was lightheartedly suggesting you fix it.  Calm the fuck down man.   I know you've been battling some shit but no one here's attacking you- just pal'ing around- with the lightest of kid gloves might I add

if that's not enough "clarity" for you- NecroPhile's post contained this-

I insinuated nothing, as I'm not the one that mentioned going to Twilight with my daughter and getting laid in the same breath.  Within the context of this thread (using the movie to get action), I was pointing out that you should rephrase your post to remove a rather icky connotation.

Now that's clarity.  As for your ""my bad" kind of clarity" - it wasn't his bad- as he made no insinuations.  No apology was called for.  If ANY apology was called for- it should have been coming from Wind for flipping the fuck out over something resulting from HIS OWN asinine phrasing. 

Call me crazy but I actually liked twighlight I recently took my daughter to see New Moon and I liked it. so I guess im getting laid

"Fuck, Wind man- I'm sorry for trying to point out how fucking ODD that sounded."

Is that what you're asking for?  IT'S FUCKING DUMB.  Regardless of the fact that NecroPhile feels no need- nor should he- for bullshit apologies when they're not called for- regardless of the fact that the apology should have came from Wind- the fact of the matter is that Windancer is a grown man- perhaps the oldest dude who registered- he's got no excuse for throwing a temper tantrum- which was purely of his own design.

I will tellyou what come on down to vegas so I can kick your fucking ass! I would just love to beat your fucking ass to a fucking a pulp you fuckin asshole!

This is coming from a grown man- perhaps one of the most immature rants posted on this site.  THAT is what calls for clarification.

you are basically padding your posts with useless BS in the hopes that you will get more fuel for your ego pissing contest from the resultant replies.

My post replied to each part of your comment- what "padding"- other than the pwned gag?

AND for the record, Mysterious Song preorders were announced November 12th.  By then Insanity preordering had come and gone, and Insanity was officially released to the public.  Nice one.

Eh. It was around the same time (which should be taken in scale- as there aren't many turbografx homebrews being released- are there?).  Not so far removed as to moot my statement.

poor situations often result in overreacting to even very mundane things.  Commmmmonnnnnn Seeeeeeenseeeeeee *echo*

What was it you were saying about padding and useless BS?  I'm saying he overreacted- you're saying... that he overreacted because of his situation and...
Commmmmonnnnnn Seeeeeeenseeeeeee *echo*?  Everyone's guilty?  You're saying he overreacted because of his personal issues?  Rove's been dealing with personal matters of the same ilk since before you arrived- you seem to be under the delusion that this is a new issue.  Some of us have done what we could to help- I even decided of my own accord to pay him 50$ for a game he gave me for free a year before just so he could do some fucking foodshopping for his family- so stop acting like you're the inside guy on Rove's problems.  Regardless- he overreacted, nothing got out of hand- and yet there you were with an imbecile's hero cape- pleading:

Why not everyone back off of Rover...

as if it wasn't mostly people asking Rover not to leave.

Cmon Sini, I thought you were smart!

You were right.

Maybe I'm in one of those moods this week.  MAYBE ARKHAN IS GROWING UP.  Maybe I'm tired of seeing this place pull a Commodore Scene.  I dont know.

You trying to convince me or you here?

I recall aiding you at one point when someone (that adol idiot) was giving you shit, and at the time, I had no idea who the fuck you were to be honest.

LOL- after saving and posting that clown's pcedai page showing the inclusion of the title he tried to delete- do you really think I needed your aiding me?  What's your point anyway?  That I owe you or something?  As for "I had no idea who the fuck you were to be honest"- you still don't have any idea- so again... What's your point?

Saying I only defend Windancer because he supports my Berzerk clone is kind of retarded anyways.  I'd like to think everyone here supports it.  By the looks of it, nearly everyone does... soo.... ahhhhh.......you got nothing there.

Wrong.  I do have something there.  He wasn't just any old supporter of your title- he was your BIGGEST supporter- one who wrote a ludicrously gushing review on his own page- one who stated here in a thread:

Get in line guys im the first customer and I want a signed copy

but in all honesty, look at the situations.  I never said anyone DIDNT go overboard.  Rather than tip things overboard more and drive people out of here, why not tip it back to the happy side?

Happy Side is not some shlub trying to tell others how to act when no one other than the people the shlub is trying to defend are the ones who acted out of turn.  If anything- it downright fucking annoys me and this is where it leads.  Are you happy?

[Off-Topic / Re: Twilight]

Before saying anything else, what does bringing homebrew efforts into this have to do with anything?

I was merely mentioning your connection to him - what it has to do with is what was stated- there's not much to read into there.

and i really hope "showed up here with a purse" is about the "grandmother" remark.

What if it wasn't?  You posted a picture of yourself with a purse- that's what I'm referring to.  I didn't color it- just told it like it is.  Is there not a photo on this site of you and your purse?  Perhaps if I called you homosexual that'd be grounds for some sort of banhammer maneuvering- but I didn't.  Just said you showed up wearing a purse- which in all respects- is true.  It is also true that you regularly refer to your penis in your posts.  Freud may have had something to say about that- but I'm not Freud- amirite?

The point is, Fighting Street is meant to be in good spirits with everyone here.  When one of our own is actually tweaked by something that happens here, wouldn't it be best to erase it/fix it and get on with things?

"Fighting Street is meant to be in good spirits" is like saying that asparagus is meant to be steak.  Exactly what tune are you whistling?  You were present when Fighting Street was formed- were you not?  It was a place carved out to appease the savages- came about in fact due to the warring of words and mismatching of wits with Nintega.  After Joe Redifer went on a tirade in a misguided attempt to prove a point- things warmed over- but it's still here- and I'm all for dancing to the tune of its original intent.  As for sweeping everything under the rug and erasing posts- it is totalitarian to rewrite history- aside from that- if Wind gave a shit about it that much he'd come erase his posts himself- I understand you want to fight the good fight for him and all that- but last I checked Wind was a grown ass man with a family- didn't need some cat absurdly swaggering on the line of being outspoken and on promoting board censorship to champion hiding his words.  They're HIS words.  You can return your cape to the superhero department- no one here is in need of saving.

Just because it's "fighting street" doesn't mean we all automagically have a license to be insensitive pricks when someone doesn't take the joke as was expected.  There's always going to be instances when you get the wrong reaction out of people.   Kinda like when you say "your mom" to someone who then replies quite seriously "my mother is dead".  Thats comedy for you.

Just who exactly was being an insensitive prick?  Perhaps you can quote it all for us.  I'd like to see.  As for there always being people who get the wrong reaction- you're right- and you prove the point yourself.  You definitely supplied an incorrect reaction- as stated multiple times the original comment was not posted by NecroPhile as an insinuation.  It's there for you to read again.  Other than that- NecroPhile was being himself.  If you don't know Necro's style by now then you've been too self absorbed or just haven't tried to call him on that which you find so offensive- his humor which has been a part of this forum from way before I joined here.

oh, and "try to be funny"?  Who put you in charge of the joke police.  Im not trying to do anything.  Some people think what I say is comical, some dont.  Thats just how I talk.  What you see here is what you get in person too.  

Every action is an attempt- whether it's successful or not is a whole other story.  I tried to write this sentence and I was successful.  I win.  As for what I see is what I get of you in person- I'll take your word for it- I'm not trying to get the whole Arkhan experience- I believe I've seen enough.

The timing of preorder announcements has nothing to do with being "kindred spirits".  I announced them when the game was ready to go, in order to GET them pressed. 

I'm saying you both announced them at the same time- I'm not implying WHY you announced and to be quite frank I could care less. 

if you happened to go back and read that thread a bit more, did you nab the part where Rover said I was right?  Now do you see why I said it'd be best to chill out?  Maybe you should catch up on your lengthy chats with him so you'd know when there's bigger things going on than a shipping malfunction.

Regardless of his situation - he overreacted.  No one was out to lynch him.

Defusing situations is a hell of a lot better than letting them explode, and then trying to clean up the aftermath.

So you're Bomb Specialist Arkhan I'm guessing.  Glad to meet you.  If you're done playing soldier we've got a mess in aisle four for you to clean up.  What situation needed defusing?  Both Wind and Rove went overboard- as almost everyone except you can attest to- and YES I've mentioned why you feel these people are your kindred spirits because frankly I don't believe I've seen you tell anyone to calm down prior.  If Windy was some guy who didn't give a shit about your Berzerk clone you're the exact type who'd attempt to excite a parade at the humor of the whole thing.  Let's not pretend otherwise.

It has nothing to do with whose been here longer.   Its called common sense and placing egos aside.

Well- I already blew your common sense to fucking pieces- and this isn't about ego.  That leaves us with who's been here longer- and I smell new fish trying to bend the aquarium out of sorts for his own "logic".



Care to try for triple pwnage, where the stakes are really high?

[Off-Topic / Re: Twilight]

Tell you what too.  Being that this is Fighting Street- where anything goes- a forum for the big boys who don't carry emotional baggage- and a place where if you don't want to take part you don't have to- I'll summon up what should be standard Fighting Street chutzpah by saying- Arkhan- you're being a whelping cunt.  You were always one to try to be off-color-funny on the regular boards- now you're suggesting that we tame down the outspoken's last bastion- all because your biggest Berzerk clone supporter can't handle a request for clarification.  Similarly you're eager for all of us to relax on the Rover (another kindred spirit of yours- as you both announced collection of preorders together) thread- when everyone's quite fucking calm and reserved- and we've been here for a bit (most longer than I- all longer than you) and have known Rove and had hearty laughs, good deals and lengthy chats with him before you ever showed up here wearing a purse.  We're grown men- we know and respect one another- and we've earned the right to be honest with each other and tell a fucking joke here and there or voice our concerns- whatever they may be.  Whatever the case- ditch the tired grandmother act- it's worn out like baby doll tees on itchy hunchbacks.

in good spirits i think itd be best to remove the bad posts.

There are no good spirits on Fighting Street.  This is Fighting Street, not Larry's Lane.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: PC Engine Fan closed.]

A bad joke in Fighting Street in the Twilight thread.

actually it wasn't a bad joke- or even a joke at all for that matter.  It was a lighthearted request for clarification of an awkward comment.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Game of the Week Club]

This is a great idea- even if I don't get any play time in (busy as hell lately) because it will be nice reading thoughts on weekly games.  Again- great idea.

I don't see anyone losing interest after the first week- it would go by a week-by-week basis.  We all have our favorites, we all have games we tend to avoid, and we all have games that we like but never get much time with.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: MY ORDER from The Old Rover (ISSUES) lost $500!]

I dunno lol. It just seems like a bit of overkill. all the "suck it ups" and "whats with the over reacting". :-D

maybe I misinterpret the tone of some of the posts.

either way, I think every active member has made a remark, and the problem is resolved, so I think the thread should just be locked/removed.  The end!

I think you should shut the fu*k up when grown folks is talking

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: MY ORDER from The Old Rover (ISSUES) lost $500!]

If I was one of the people who placed an advance order on Mysterious Song (I'm not)- I'd be concerned that Rover's disappearance would mean either that the game will never be delivered or that Rover will fall out of contact with updates on the game's release coming to a halt.  Rove- this is not the effect you desire.  Nothing much happened here- a guy rightfully questioned on the whereabouts of his purchase- and you came on and set it straight.  No reason to run- as I stated if you do turn and leave now it will only be the cause of more concern.  It would do you good to keep showing your face until the game is released- this way no one can say you're taking the money and running.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: How come they never made a light gun??!]

appears so Tats-

from Wiki- Gumshoe is a video game developed and published by Nintendo for the NES and released on June 6, 1986 in the United States, and on June 15, 1988 in Europe. Gumshoe is played using the NES Zapper.

from Strategywiki- It is one of the first games ever released for the NES outside of Japan that was not released for the Famicom in Japan. The reasons for this are unknown. It was also released in arcades using Nintendo's "Vs." arcade hardware system as Vs. Gumshoe.

Damn I loved this game bitd.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: How come they never made a light gun??!]

NES Gumshoe was where it was at.

[Off-Topic / Re: Twilight]

Looks like Windy's been bodysnatched by some grouchy overly sensitive lunatic.

As for that I "guess I'm getting laid thing"- I didn't get it either.  NecroPhile didn't suggest that you have sex with your daughter- he suggested that the phrasing was confusing and was lightheartedly suggesting you fix it.  Calm the fuck down man.   I know you've been battling some shit but no one here's attacking you- just pal'ing around- with the lightest of kid gloves might I add- and no- I'm no sheriff or mod here.  Just speaking my mind.
