My LIKE NEW Turbo in box is up for sale

[esteban]

Did your dad die of shame and regret?

I don't care if iretrogamer brought it up his dad or if this guy is the bane of this boards existence (which I doubt), that is pretty low to say NecroPhile. As a moderator you should hold yourself to a somewhat higher standard

If NecroPhile's comment was simply cruel, then yes, I would agree with you.

However, the comment was also horrifically hilarious and I almost spewed my coffee on the campfire. Hilarious + cruel is definitely better than merely being cruel. Or maybe it is even more evil? Hmmm, I might just be an evil person.

I am guilty.

Regardless, All is Not Lost.

The key thing is that most of us are willing to give iretro a second/third/fourth/fiftieth chance to redeem himself, but he has had a tough time digging himself out.

For every half-step forward, he takes 1.75 steps backwards.

BUT THAT'S OK, because we really can coexist if he spends some time to figure out the pcefx community. He certainly seems more promising than many other folks whose tenures have been fleeting.

Think about it: even if iretrogamer doesn't agree with us, he (probably) has at least considered and contemplated our viewpoints. THIS ALONE puts him above most folks, who outright discount opposing viewpoints.

True, we will never know the actual degree of his sincerity, but that can be said of 99% of people in general.

iretrogamer: Don't worry. Take some time. Don't rush. In time you will become part of our dysfunctional family.

[Sadler]

FWIW, I'm still glad NecroPhile is a mod here and I think he generally does a great job. We're all guilty of being assholes sometimes. Except maybe esteban.

iretrogamer, I'm sorry for your loss. I enjoyed the one video of yours I watched and I hope you stick around and participate in discussions here and not just engage in commerce.

[Nazi NecroPhile]

I'm not trying to say it wasn't cruel or that it was totally appropriate, just that it was within the rules.  It may be 'wrong' in terms of some community standards, sure, but is it worse than the constant sex jokes, misogyny, mental handicap jibes, or telling people to go fuck themselves simply because they asked too high of a price?  I think not.  The bar isn't set that high here, but y'all are free to petition for rules changes.

[SignOfZeta]

Nobody accused you of breaking the rules of the forum (nice try). They accused you of being an unrepentant dick for unwarranted reasons and it looks like you're %100 happy to live with description of yourself so that's probably the end of it.

[Gentlegamer]

NecroPhile did nothing wrong by any standard.

THANKSGIVING: Wednesday June 13, 2016

You made me happy today—even if that makes me a horrible person—and for that I am grateful.

[Gentlegamer]

It's July.

[sirhcman]

It's July.

LOL! esteban lives in an alternate universe  xD

[geise]

este is the alternate universe.

[esteban]

It's July.

Exactly. Real, Genuine Thanksgiving.

Not that fake shite in November.

Give thanks when it is deserved.

[Nazi NecroPhile]

Nobody accused you of breaking the rules of the forum (nice try).

Nor did I claim that they did.  I flat out agreed that it was mean and in poor taste but not disallowed.

They accused you of being an unrepentant dick for unwarranted reasons and it looks like you're %100 happy to live with description of yourself so that's probably the end of it.

Pretty much.  I've labeled myself an asshole repeatedly, and it's okay if some people don't like me or the stuff I post.

Every time I see this pic, I think of Bubble Bass

I have watched every episode of SpongeBob 90 times with my daughter over the past decade.

[SignOfZeta]

Please stop posting that picture. It's very unpleasant.

[TheClash603]

Please stop posting that picture. It's very unpleasant.

It looks a little better if you JOMG it, the process of getting there is just fairly unpleasant.

[CGQuarterly]

I asked if you would do it for free for publicity as the YT channel has over 7,000 subscribers and I thought that was reasonable.

Maybe I should try this any time I want to buy anything from now on.  Since I have twice as many subs as you (which is still a small number if we're being honest with each other) you should sell me your TG-16 for $100 shipped, and in return I'll give your channel a shout-out on my channel.

Also, maybe it's because I spend most of my time on the Neo-Geo forums, but I thought Necro's comment was funny.  Oh no!  He insulted a profiteer who is only here for self-promotion!  I've said way worse shit to people on the forums.

[Sparky]

As much as the joke was raw It was looked at even worst with how it happened.

Necro's "asshole" track record is a lot cleaner then a lot of others on here.
From a cancer survivor I can forgive him.

[TheClash603]

I one time listened to Joan Rivers say that she made a cancer joke and a person got up and screamed how awful it was cause their family member died from it.  She called the person a hypocrite because they had laughed at all the other offensive stuff she said, but they took the cancer joke personally because it was close to home.

Moral of the story is the majority of people aren't saints, so you can't pick and choose what crosses the line if you yourself have crossed lines.

My girlfriend has diabetes and I now personally cringe when I hear diabetes jokes, but I never tell people to stop telling those jokes.

I really like your channel. I've been a subscriber.

It's just something I thought YouTubers did. People seem to get a lot of free stuff in return for helping promote things. I thought I'd ask Sparky if he was interested.

[DildoKKKobold]

One would think a moderator would hold himself to a higher standard, when posting on the forums where he is a moderator. Given that they no longer represent only himself, but the website as a whole, you'd think that would inspire one to be on his best behavior. I guess not. 

But what do I know, I'm just the local troll.

[Sparky]

What is up your ass Nulltard? NecroPhile fucked up but his one mistake can be forgiven.
Ya we know the joke was not about cancer. I am a piece of shit now? Dont get me started buddy.

ps: oh look the biggest asshole you took in and made a mod replied.
Hahaha

[esteban]

I would like to enter this raffle.

Thank you.

[Sparky]

I've seen too many manipulators wield rationalization as an effective tool to get away with shit. Guess I've just had my fill lately.

Haha. You just described DildoKKKobold! Haha

again, did I misdirect them? and you said pathetic pieces of shit, Plural with your reply and I was the one that brought the cancer up. Seems obvious you were speaking to me.

No matter just sticking up for NecroPhile as he is one of the the good ones here.
We all fuck up at times, don't I know it

[wildfruit]

I would like to enter this raffle.

Thank you.

Winner

[CGQuarterly]

It's just something I thought YouTubers did. People seem to get a lot of free stuff in return for helping promote things.

It totally is.  So do we have a deal, then?  Here's what I was thinking:

For $150 shipped, I will just say "iRetroGamer.com", with no context, at the end of one of my "niche" videos.

For $125 shipped, I will say "...and I want to give a shout-out to iRetroGamer.com" at the end of one of my "niche" videos.

For $100 shipped, I will say "...and I want to give a BIG shout-out to iRetroGamer.com" at the end of one of my "niche" videos.

For $75 shipped, I will say "...and I want to give a BIG shout-out to my buddy iRetroGamer.com" at the end of one of my "niche" videos.

If you give me the console absolutely free, I will say "...and please check out my good buddy's up-and-coming YouTube channel, iRetroGamer.com, for in-depth analysis of all of your favorite retro games." at the end of my next LAUNCH VIDEO (lots of views!). 

I do appreciate that you like my channel, and it's not that I'm purposefully trying to sound like an ass, but think about how snarky this post seems, and then think about how you sound when you go to someone like Sparky, who doesn't know you from Adam, with your hand out asking for free stuff in exchange for a plug.

LOL these were funny examples.

I get where you are coming from, but I honestly thought it was a harmless gesture I was making. I thought "If at least 2-3 of my viewers end up purchasing a set from Sparky, then why not throw some my way (I was asking for the smaller set of labels)." I'm friends with video game author Brett Weiss after doing a video about his ROOM OF DOOM and his occupation as a video game writer. As a kind gesture he gave me a copy of his latest book.

Now I suppose I should have just done the video spotlight on Sparky and his work and let it be his decision on whether or not he wanted to give me any freebies. I guess I'm still learning the etiquette around this sort of thing.

I can understand where I would come off as a little sneaky asking up front. My apologies.

[CGQuarterly]

Bear in mind that everything I've said is just my personal opinion and not any kind of set-in-stone YouTuber etiquette. 

I've gotten a few Everdrives free from krikzz, but I had already done reviews of I think 3 of his products, and he's the one who offered to send me more based on those reviews.  I also got a free book, but the author put out a call for reviewers and I just threw my name into the hat.  If doing reviews and getting free stuff is something you're interested in doing, then just start doing reviews and people will come to you.  I've turned down multiple offers of free homebrew games in exchange for reviews just because I don't want to turn my channel into that kind of deal.  The Everdrives I was reviewing anyway because I think they're awesome, and the book review was a text article that went on my website.

I think it's one thing to approach a *company* and say "hey I have this YouTube channel and I am interested in reviewing your products", but when it's a guy like Sparky who just does it for the love of the community, that's when you cross over into "poor form" territory.

Good advice. Thank you. I can definitely see the error in how I approached it.

Would love for you to check out some of my videos. We have a similar style in our documentary approach. Also the "My Retro Life" videos I do are very well received. They are a series of home movie videos taken from my childhood in the 90s growing up with a "Gamer Dad".

[Medic_wheat]

How about you give it to be so I can kick start my YouTube show?


I come game sack approved. I did the voice over for the fart they would used on their "classic" videos.


Joe knows what I am talking about.

Mm

[CGQuarterly]

I've seen some of your videos.  I enjoyed the "My Retro Life" vids that I saw, for sure.  I wish I still had access to my old home movies, but I don't...

[esteban]

NOTE: To have integrity, a person/website should always *clearly* (upfront) disclose any arrangements/freebies made with Party X, Y and Z in any article/video.

It's simply the best way to handle things.

[Gredler]

Wow, this is the darkest thread I've read on these forums, what a bummer  .
Did Tim Burton orchestrate this debauchery ?

iretrogamer - sorry for your loss man, but I am envious of the memories you have with your dad he sounds like  he was a great guy. I watched your master system videos and commented on them saying the same in the past (Gregory Brant on youtube)

Necro, it's comments like that which encourages people to be quiet about their personal lives and no share. You have every right to say them, but I have to agree that the degree of hurtful intent in that statement was unnecessary, and no one would think less of you if you apologized for crossing the burn line, asick burn, but so sick it's disgusting [who get's the reference? zeta?]

I agree that iretro screwed the pooch on the price, and making a thread about it made it even harsher; this could've been answered in PMs from experienced members after taking the time to form relationships with them.

The reality of someone losing a love one who was obviously dedicated to NEC and turbo, is a fucked up harsh thing to think about.

And Sparky, congratulations on beating the C beast, that's a blessing for you and your family and I'm really happy to hear you came out of that darkness sharing this world with us and playing some fun games from time to time

I hope your game console sells at a reasonable price for both you and the customer, and I hope this becomes water under the bridge. Next time you have a spare moment on the shitter or something, why don't you post in the daily dose of gaming (all platform "what I'm playing discussion thread" in console gaming section) or the turbo what I've been playing thread. The community here is more open armed about opinions and game discussion than any I've been involved with, and the opposite is true about BST threads (which I think is why my broke ass enjoys this forum so much)

It seems to me like there is way too much bullying that goes on here.  The guy lowered his price, even though he had every right to charge whatever price he wants.  Likewise, nobody is forced to buy it.  Who cares if people collect this stuff?  It's not going to stop going up in value just become some fans who like to talk about how cool the games are deem it to be too expensive.

There is way too much negativity here.  Attacking someone personally is just uncalled for.

The only video of Tyler that I liked was a clip of him playing NES Ghosts 'n Goblins when he was a babby.

My point is strengthened.  If only a tad.  Too much negativity.

A bit late maybe.  I just don't post much, as I don't have so much to say honestly.  I just think this kind of thing hurts more than helps.  Like you had said earlier, I just felt a little fed up.

I have now decided to continue to be here, if only to piss off "Gentlegamer".

There is no welcoming me.  I have been here much longer than most of the people active on here.  I had another account many years ago.  Anyway, I guess people are just bored or something.  I just don't like seeing people justifying themselves, be it because they want to buy something, or because they said something shitty to someone.
