Poor Bloofy…that guy got flamed so many times. Same for Motoki. I still remember the “denthead” photos.
Master Akuma was part of a legit fgc back in Portugal but because he acted like a douche 90% of time while spamming SRK with his awful combo videos everybody couldn’t help but hate the guy. Who could have known we would miss him someday?
Yeah true, but the rest of the internet isn’t so great either usually, unless you love social media I suppose. I’m not sure how tumblr works but that might be a good one, I was introduced to the guy that founded it some months back.
SRK frequently sucks and the old flame wars aren’t there, but it still gives you a good broad selection of topics and some news to kill time on sometimes. It’s just not as much time as in the past, although usually we won’t have that time to waste either.
One thing I wonder about is the average age of the posters. It makes sense that us older posters would have less time, and if this site was mostly us old farts it would make sense for it to be dead/sterile. But from what I’ve been seeing there are a ton of younger posters on here. It’s just they are all soft. It’s really amazing how soft younger generations are now, I definitely feel like people that grew up in say the 80s just had to deal with more stuff I guess, and as a result aren’t so PC and effeminate.
Holy crap…speaking of the devil. I just went to his website and he released a combo video last month.
EDIT: @ that Thanos bubble infinite and easy KOF 97 Blue Mary 100%. Now thats the Master Akuma we know. Ten years later and he’s still releasing shitty combo videos. I guess some things never change.
I used to come here all the the time, but not as often anymore. The real world doesn’t really have me That busy, just that the GD used to not be as crazy as it used to be. I dunno, it doesn’t got the magic none more.
The lounge thread is still worthwile imo. There is less hatred but still enough content that makes me laugh.
Newer members seem less vocal with their opinions on life issues, but I guess they can do all of that on FB and Twitter or those type of thongs. So less incentive to post it here.
I thought the various OTT threads had some potential, but those got shot in the head by the server problems. :\
I get sad that Twatter and Faceblargh don’t have any kind of instutional memory / search / useful archive, but then Vanilla’s Search also sucks, so … I remain confused about it all.
Totally agree with this. Growing up in the 80’s there wasn’t “cyber” bullying - there was real f’ing bullying and you just learned how to deal with it. Nowadays you here stories of suicides and it’s sad. Both boo-hoo sad and sad as in c’mon kids, get a life or grow a pair.
