I hope this site never gets too commercial, or is it just me seeing more and more just stupid “political” (not necessarily) topics coming up on this page? Like I know this is the wrong thread to be trying to make an example out of but, god this site used to have alot more links to just fighting videos/strategies stuff like that that made more of a difference in the community to me. I know I know getting more and more venues and getting more and more stories about how big the community is growing is great (REALLY GREAT) only benefits us all, but I hope to god it doesn’t get to a commercial kind of point of view. Just hearing Gootecks say something about having Pizza Hut specials for stream monsters got me a little worried (and dude, Ryan “I’mma F’em Up” Gutierrez is the man trust me I know) the mentality I think is being brought towards a SC Korean market, and thats just not our community. Our community is so better self served just being tight-knit and small the way that we are. I know people like Gooteck’s grandscheme and I know how awesome it would be for all of us to have a huge almost SC community in the mainstream like Starcraft in Korea but I honestly don’t think I want that. Do you all?
EDIT!!
Oh damn I was drunk when I wrote this thread. FUCK ME! Hahaha, really what I was trying to get after (before the 20th or so beer lol) is all I don’t want to see happen is for the community to all of a sudden turn into something similar to Texas Hold’em Poker. What I mean by that is even though that shit isn’t really popular anymore people still play it for the money, which is fine I’m all about that, but what made TXHP so popular back in the day was 1 scrub ass player winning out of nowhere as a complete unknown. Now in our community that wouldn’t be so bad, to see a dude hop out of the woodworks and beat a JWong/Daigo in a major would be kind of motivational, but (and here’s what I was getting at) after that wave of newcomers start hopping on the scene’s events to try and make money like Mr. NoName did by beating Daigo (this is figurative) its going to be harder and harder for those top pros to win, when the beginning round events go from 300 people to the 1000+ people ranges. Just like in TXHPoker you hardly see any of the real pros win its more of like some bum jumping out of the woodworks like I said and winning. I just don’t want us to get to that point.
And yeah, sorry for being so drunk during the first post! LMAO!
I don’t think you understand: imagine all the SF4 and MvC3 bitching times 1,000. All that bickering is the only reason I don’t want another Darkstalkers, people are going to spend more time bitching about it than playing it.
I don’t know if you watch mma, but i’m going to use that as the closest example because they basically survived on their internet community which is the biggest bunch of whinners ever. Did you stop watching it when it became popular?
do you not watch the NFL because it’s popular? How many people have jobs and are making millions of dollars off shows about football that are just bitching about shit? Or how many journlists have jobs bitching about shit they don’t even know about because of the nfl, or ufc. People bitch about everything. Get used to it.
Furthermore i don’t even think that was his argument.
Fuck the topic, I’m curious about the title. Do you ponder something or you ponder of something? Seems like “Just something I’ve been pondering” looks better right?
There’s a difference between joining a community that’s already bustling than one that is growing. SRK is extremely bad at dealing with new people and new people are extremely bad taking the time to learn SRK.
I actually check there once a month for laughs. The topics are funny as shit. “The best way to keep the **muds **from being attracted to you is having a daughter.” It’s nice to see backwards ass people like that are so shunned by society they can only throw pebbles from their small little island now.
I think it started when stores like Hot topics and the records stores started slapping on Hadukens and what not on t-shirts.
The hipsters(counter culture kids) at the mall wanted to go Anti-Prep and became gamers.
Now people think “gaming” is cool whether because they actually play games…or don’t.
As they grow up, they get into politics and shyt like that and start to think cuz they’ve been posting here, it somehow makes it valid. (Kids and the “late bloomers” who also wanna fit in)
Thats probably wrong and I don’t understand the topic in question, haha.
ANyways, let this shyt go commercial.
I would much rather see a high paid gamer on TV than baseball,basketball, or even football on tv
PS, gaming agents, haha, that would be awesome!
PS, have you ever talked to a gamer? There the most opinionated people on the planet!
We are so quick to give an opinion then turn of deaf eyes on/ or go, no, I think my answer is better! (In games it worse than real life topics!)
Most have to taste defeat b4 we acknowledge that somethin isn’t working out and we either BITCH, somehow act social for a little and get some information, or discover things on our own. Or bITCH! haha.
