An integral part of leaving something is not to come back. Otherwise you haven't truly left.

Bill gets this. Shift Key does not.

Remember what happened the last time I left? I have to work out a way to top that before I decide to leave again. And don't confuse Bill's frustration with the forum community with my apathy towards you guys - I gave up expressing interest in anything game-related a while ago (haven't you noticed this?)

PS: Aside from Bill's farewell and that kid who made my head hurt, its been a fairly weak 2009. The most serious thing I've written was probably this, which covers why this place just isn't fun any more.

Should I buy the Majora's Mask Toys R Us promo VHS tape? I don't know what's on it.

You shouldn't even have to ask.

I will forever regret not buying the Majora's mask figure from first4figures, despite being horribly overpriced.

Ok I'll get it.

It'll go nicely with my new (used) S-video VCR I bought to play old N64 promo tapes.

You know what? Despite the issues we have faced in the last few months at NWR I still take this place over some of the other sites.

For a while, I tried being a regular at VGChartz. But all they do is talk about sales, there's nothing but troll threads on ALL forums and the whole place just seems idiotic. We might be smaller and we may have a few Ians here and there, but on the whole this place is much better because we actually have game discussions.

I just looked at the site once more and there were too many idiotic threads for me.

Pap! I don't wanna lose you to VGChartz!

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #405 on:** March 22, 2009, 08:16:39 PM »

Kairon I don't think he will be going over there.He didn't like it over there. About other forums there is one that I am a member of.There aren't that many people who signed up.There is like 8 members.This site just got started up in January of this year.Its a really nice site.We basicaly just talk about games.None of this other stuff.

Funny how NINTENDO World Report banned the one and only "Mario" here.

Don't worry, I won't be going there for a while. Like I said, I just checked their site today and left as quickly as I came.

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #408 on:** March 22, 2009, 08:53:53 PM »

Yeah well I don't agree with it Pro.

GoldenPhoenix · « **Reply #409 on:** March 22, 2009, 10:44:48 PM »

I never really paid much attention to the VGchartz comment section.

I am talking about the forums, but yeah the comments are just as bad.

See, the VGhcartz forums is a perfect representation is why the console wars are stupid. No one is talking about games there. All they do is compare sales numbers (which are unofficial BTW), bash each system and try to proclaim why they hate a system (whether through a thread or through a signatures). There's no discussion, there's no love of gaming, there's no HEART. Its all one big popularity contest where it goes down to "My console can beat up YOUR console" debates.

We may have acted like this on ocassion (myself included), but at the very least games ARE discussed, analyzed and recommended. We may be dysfunctional but we work better as a gaming community that some of the other forums.

resisting the obvious joke...

with me coming to these forums less and less for various reasons, i'm beginning to fear that one day i'll return to find only unfamiliar faces. so before that happens, just wanna say i enjoy all you regulars who make this place worthwhile, a drink on the curb to all our fallen homies, and how i "love" all of you ('cept the perm cuz he himself said he sux)

So, like has this Game Over Thread gotten enough pages to become a MEGA THREAD yet?

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #413 on:** March 23, 2009, 10:43:36 PM »

It has been going on a while since the end of January.Bill was pretty important to the site.

ThePerm · « **Reply #414 on:** March 24, 2009, 01:20:25 AM »

damn right Bill was important! Don't forget it! He was a special poster right from the beginning. Knew his stuff and was one of the people who introduced the WEIRDNESS into the forums. Otherwise these forums would probably be much more dull. What isn't understood well is that the forum is rather stable in the pantheon of video game forums. Our mind share has an effect on the rest of gaming. I can understand why he would be pissed off at negativity. It just drags the whole community down. I'm upset at Japanese developers for running the industry and not being creative enough. From my experience from the n64 years until now, we could be much further along in quality of games. It just seems that games have had these ridiculous fads since the last generation. There are so many good ideas that are not implemented because developers play it safe.

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #415 on:** March 24, 2009, 01:33:26 AM »

You know Bill was pretty informative about everything in gaming.His Anime Screenshots were humorous at times. Greeney was great. He was a kind person.I miss him.

Stogi · « **Reply #416 on:** March 24, 2009, 01:35:24 AM »

I miss making fun of Bill.

Kairon · « **Reply #417 on:** March 24, 2009, 01:37:12 AM »

I miss bill. T_T

I also owe him money. T_T

ShyGuy · « **Reply #418 on:** March 24, 2009, 01:55:38 AM »

How do you owe Bill money?

Kairon · « **Reply #419 on:** March 24, 2009, 02:15:00 AM »

Oh wait, maybe not Bill...ummm... Mario. I owe Mario money.

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #420 on:** March 24, 2009, 02:27:18 AM »

Speaking of Mario I got his e-mail from Bill. I sent him one a while week or so ago.I hope he responds soon.

I think Kairon should leave next so we can have another mega thread with people who haven't posted for a long time.
