News does not start on the internet

[GaijinPunch]

I'd hardly call what they said "vague".

Well, a lot of people (the first few that replied in the thread) and myself thought otherwise. Again - glad it did or will pan out, but it could've been taken many ways. "Depends on the success of the first one"... that just does not scream "confirmed" to me. Then again, I know jack about that game or the company making it.

but I did not say the same thing in both posts,

Taken from the first post:

99% of the news brought up on this site get's shot down, regardless of whether or not a source is provided

Taken from the second one, right after it.

Once again, almost every piece of news brought up on this site get's treated as anecdotal.

Yeah, there was more there, but I think you get the idea. At least you've admitted it -- the first step to solving a problem.

SNN (Specineff News Network) reports:

Landshark likes tacos!

Y'know i actually went back and read through that thread. It was locked for no damn reason. The guy didn't ask for roms - he just asked where he could go to get a rom.

Also, i've talked about emulation so many times on this forum and no one said anything to me about it. No one even acted funny about it.

Anyway guy - if you're listening just go to (Mod Snip! -Ghegs) - a site totally not affilated with Shmups or this forum. They'll have what you're looking for.

Shmups, as far as i know, has never hosted any rom files so i really don't know what the big deal abou that was. You can't get in trouble for talking about anything.

And one more thing - i LOVE tacos.

To quote Forum Rules: No ISO trading, ROM begging, bootlegging, modchip sales, copyright infringement, or assistance with any of these – for example warez FTP site details..

This means it's not okay to ask for a specific rom OR to ask for good sites that distribute them. I edited your above post a bit to reflect this.

[JBC]

I guess he should be smart enough to know how to use Google anyway.

Well Thirdstrike is a relatively new member and great one at that.
He allways has got great news.

Some poeple demand to know the source, and get mad at Thirdstrike for not including the source.

I see it like this; Thirdstrike is a member I don't want to lose.
Lots of people attack him out of ???? jealousy....? for being the first member to post news on a certain topic? I don't understand it.
Well anyway thanks Thirdstrike and in an ideal world your thread would have not have been neccesary, but some members feel they deserve the link also. I see it like this, instead of complaining about the source why not search for it and post it in that thread to help others out.

And one could politely ask for the source, but some of you mf-ers keep ...... on his case.

It's like someone gives you a Saturn and you are like: "Look man I need a game too to play with this system, so hurry.... I ain't got all day"

Leave the guy alone. If you can do it better, than do it, we are all equals here.

Thirdstrike, if anyone asks again flame him.
The mods will understand (I hope)

[Thunder Force]

if anyone asks again flame him.

Err, no.

p.s. ALL CAPS title fixed.

"Depends on the success of the first one" had to do with whether or not the 360 would get a home port, not whether or not the XBOX would. And about double posting Gaijin, when I ask a question, like the one I asked about GBA Shinobi, in a thread where it makes perfect sense to ask such a question, and no one answers, when I ask again, there's no reason for people to get pissed. But this scenario frequently occurs on this site, and there's no reason why people can't give an answer the first time around, unless, of course, no one's played the game. You have to understand that this is as irritating to me as the double-posting is to others.

[GaijinPunch]

But this scenario frequently occurs on this site

Maybe nobody knows the answer. Maybe they just missed it. I still don't see how this is in anyway even remotely related to, or justifies double-posting.

Forget it, I will work on it, but I am not perfect, I make mistakes, and if a double-post is the worst thing that someone sees in a day, then I envy that person's life.

And the rudeness towards people like Thrid Strike, and others such as myself , NEEDS to stop. People on here can label GameFaqs "LameFaqs" till they're blue in the face, but I see far less flaming, and insluting in general on those forums then I do on these.

[UnscathedFlyingObject]

If Gamefaqs is so good, why stay here?

[UnscathedFlyingObject]

I'm bringing a valid point to the table. Would you go to a party in which everyone hates your guts? or Would you go to a party where all the chicks are ready to "do" you any second? Dave's been saying he'll get outta for a long time and how Gamefaqs is wwwaaaayyyyyssss better, so I was wondering why he keeps coming back.

Edit: nvm.

You could say Dave is the chubby kid of the shmups forum. Third Strike is the kid who's always spreading rumors and while you love the guy, you also feel like punching him in the face.

Heh. Then I must be the kid with the mohawk who's always asleep in the back of the classroom, but still manages to squeak by with a low B/ high C.

Err...wait a minute. That was me in middle/high school.

[Specineff]

Everybody relax now. Dave, while some of the posts were aimed at you, you don't need to take them to the heart. You're doing ok so far.

And everyone else, please stop grilling him because of a simple double post. It's not like he's spamming the board with stupid questions like AnimePenny used to back in the Lamespy forums.

Regarding the origin of a piece of info, it doesn't hurt to say "I read it on Maxim/Martha Stewart's Living/Pop Mechanics/Maxim/LamePro, etc" when informing about the second coming of Sega or another game-related news.

Long live tacos.

Because this is THE only site on the internet dedicated to shmups.

I never said it was way better, only that there are a lot less insults and nitpicking going on over there. Whatever, I just need to ignore the crap that goes on here; if there are some people here who hate my guts, I could care less.

[GaijinPunch]

I was merely pointing out that Dave might get his qusetions answered (or even looked at) more often if he doesn't double-post as much. Maybe I'm the only one, but I tend to read posts less if it looks like someone's trying to jack up their post count (regardless if that's their goal or not).

I don't think I was being rude or out of line in the least.

You must be an insult magnet 'cause I rarely feel insulted around here. And there're other sites that have lots of Shmuppy talk like click-stick.com, shmup.com, that stg site, that namako team site, etc.

edit: I wasn't even answering to you. I was answering to BrianC who posted something and deleted it before I could finish my message. That's why I put that "nvm."

[mannerbot]

I have been a jackass to Dave in the past but decided to just stop responding if I didn't have anything positive to contribute. I think others should do the same. Well unless he double-posts everytime he doesn't get a response within fifteen minutes.

If anyone is a victim here, it should be me. I don't get no free games.

ThirsStrike, now I want some answers, did you or did you not fuck his girlfriend?

D, protector of the innocent. (damn that looks lame)

Hey, I apologize for griping like that. I really do love this site!

[TWITCHDOCTOR]

What do you guys mean by double posts? Like when you hit submit more than once...which CAN happen sometimes.
Or do you mean "bumping" a topic?

Still, I've seen far much worse than that. It must be that time of the month for some around here. I guess some shmup-o's are feeling a little on edge as of late.
Personally, I hope they get over it real fast.


BTW: D, I recieved your PM, but I'm not aware of the double post that you were refering to.
Usually, whenI make the mistake of a double post, I simply delete the second one.
I'm on a slow dial-up connection, so sometimes clicking the button doesn't work...well a shitty dirty mouse might be the problem too!

God forgive me...I have commited a "double post".
I'm off to kill my neigbors dogs as atonement.

Actually double posting. Just take a look for yourself what GP was talking about. And if you double-post, you can easily just delete your second post...

[GaijinPunch]

What do you guys mean by double posts?

If Dave wants to quote two different messages, instead of copying and pasting into one message, he hits the quote and types his message, then goes back on his browser, hits quote on the next message and then replies to that. He's doing two posts in a row when most law abiding citizens just do one. Not aggainst the rules, but is poor etiquette.

[ThirdStrike]

This Post is getting retarded and off topic.

The point is News was here before the internet and will be afterwards.

Twitch my PM to you was not related to any topic and what i send you was this:

Sup twitch aboiut your double post.
You do know that you can delete the last post you made right?
press on the X sign.
Perhaps you do know that and you noticed it later on.
Anyway just thought I'd let you know on the off chance you didn't know allready.
I get it too sometimes, I guess we both impatient.
Later on

Clearly you can see that I was trying to help you and I even appoligized beforehand on the off chance that you didn't know allready.
And I am not bothered by double posts however, some do.
Sorry I offended you, I shall never bother thy again.

[GaijinPunch]

Yeah, but you're posting crap you read on the net (or admittedly through emails) and not saying from where. I'm still very curious as to which Famitsu issue the Metal Slug GBA scoop was printed in.

[DantesInferno]

This Post is getting retarded and off topic.

I think the consensus thinks that it was retarded way before this point. And it drifted off topic so that it might become interesting.

Its ok D, I'm not bothered or offended at all.
No need to apologize. The "atonement" comment was just a joke.

As far as erasing posts, yea, I already knew about that. I was/still am confused at why you were informing me about it at that time...thats all.
