Not really funny stupid like the mainstreamers one though.

Looking for proof that there's something wrong in how west plays games:

Are some western shmup players lazy when it comes to shmups?

Including the all-time classic line: "Literature is far more pointless than videogames."

Click me

Mind you, his first post in the thread, somewhere down the page, was his 7th post on the site ever. For those that think Recap is way too harsh about his hobby, you must admit, he was 100% in the right when he slapped Elixir in the cock...verbally speaking, of course.

Well, it wasn't hard to point out Elixir's idiocy. He's been banned on nearly every forum he's registered for. This line in that thread by recap is rather ironic I think:

"Your situation, dear Newbie-Elixir, is tragic. You fail to see your own mistakes even if some here are telling you. Keep on persisting."

Replace the "Newbie-Elixir" with "recap" in the above quote for a moment, ponder it in the context of his posts on this site, and behold recap's complete obliviousness to his own failings, projecting them on others in order to shield his fragile ego.

This thread is a nice idea. Lots of fun things dug up for another go round.

More Stuart Campbell madness here:

http://shmups.system11.org/viewtopic.php?t=6630

This thread was his first appearance in this forum. Click forward to page 3 to watch how he makes an entrance and starts insulting people from the get-go.

This thread also displays his amazing ability to cope with criticism, all condensed in the following classic line:

"I learn a lot from criticism. I learn that most people are idiots."

Worst threads are those that want to start a petition for an arcade game that already got ports, but the idiot in question wants to start a petition to have it ported to their 'holy' console.
That really piss's me off, just buy the damn console. I'm not even gonna bother to look for it.
And offcourse my infamous top 10 list of things you hate about searching for porn on the internet which instantaniously got locked. It was about getting unexpected hits for sites where females have trisexual dicks or whatever, com'on everybody knows what I am talking about. It was supose to be a joke, but somebody upstairs didn't find the amusement value in it. It got locked, which surprised me more than it should have I guess

I'm sure there are a lot of good threads to find in the old archives before the great shmups forum crash. Does anyone remember Dark Saibot and his infamous linkage to Raidiant Silvergun ISO's, and his support for downloading ISO's and game ROMs?

Here's some threads (Dark Saibot's account was even deleted, now placeheld by "Guest):
http://shmups.system11.org/viewtopic.php?t=2990
http://shmups.system11.org/viewtopic.php?t=3663

A few classic lines:
"OMG 1337 IMPORT PIRATES U PPL ARE STOOPID N FRUM ICELAND LOOOOOOL."
"Are you serious? Such sentiment could only come from the mouth of a ten year old. "
"That's extremely mature, mannerbot. I bet that your 7th grade classmates also found it amusing."
"One day you people will wake up and realize that video gaming is such a ripoff and waste of peoples money."
"Do you mean why would I rather download it for free than spend $100+ on the DC import version? Tough one

"

And why was black mariah banned?
Where or when did someone named mike haggar say "Do you wear a pirate suit while playing your games?"

That gun thread in off-topic was absolutely atrocious. Horrible jingoistic "ain't no eye-raqis gon' come near me" bullshit.

Fortunately, I can't find it.

I think you have to be able to look back and see just how much some people have mellowed over the course of their stay here.

Aye, but we still get much more one-upmanship and pedantism than camaraderie and lols. Getting there!

Classy indeed! Beautiful thread, and there are some new insights gained, too - something rarely seen in forums, which are more like "I am right, you`re wrong - but it`s all just opinions, you dickhead" - style.

Now, hang on! I know Elixir, so please tell me where else hes been banned from for banned 'on nearly every forum he's registered on.' (your words)

It isn't too hard to point out your idiocy either. You tredding on newbies because their opinion is not to your liking or is not what you want to hear is kinda immature and this is reflective on your image in these forums.

The ckm ones are classic. And entirely harmless - they were that obvious. I started reading the first one when it was at about 3 posts and everyone who 'came in' immediately checked their brain at the door. 4-D lizard scum? Shit my consciousness doesn't reach that far even under the influence! The forum was hanging back tripping on the exhaust fumes of a true visionary. That day we came to read the forum and walked off slightly baked.

Also completely missed the SC episodes, although I remember the Raiden III GOTY thread. Strange. Super aggressive. 'Stop the presses, we have an internet tough guy', almost wet myself.

One question concerning this, aside from having an avatar that (at least to me) seemed like an invitation for physical violence, was ThirdStrike really an alias of the evil scumbag known as Japhei? Is that why he vanished?

Yes, the thread with all the scoop is buried in the Trading Station somewhere.

EDIT: LOL, not buried, stickied at the top of the page. ^_^
