...reading their latest ginormous Wii thread. The name of the thread was "Wii - I love Nintendo, but..." And somehow this title, and the term "Waggle" were related to PlanetGamecube. What are they talking about? Did I miss something?

We had an article that had "Wiggle it.. Just a Little Bit" as it's little tag thing. I can't help but feeling I heard that from somewhere else.

Edit: Found it!

ShyGuy, link us the post.

I read it. I don't really get it. It could be in reference to the supposed bashing we do of the Wii? I'm not sure. It's probably your fault though Evan.

I kid!

Penny Arcade Wii thread

It's starts near the bottom of page one and is mentioned again a couple times over the next few pages. It never really got explained though.

Wow, they really ripped PGC. Do we have a forum war a-brewing? Are you going to go flame PA forums, Evan?

If done correctly, this could reach hilarious levels of awesome.

Don't worry. I'm sure they'll soon change their name to another short-sighted one in no time.

since when did neogaf forumers run planetgamecube?

LOL

But in all seriousness, they understand they were quoting a mailbag right?

My lj post about Final Fight Streetwise was linked on the PA forums somewhere by someone I don't know. I'm famous!

Svevan · « **Reply #11 on:** October 30, 2006, 08:45:36 PM »

I find myself spending hours and hours combing through P-A, or NeoGAF, reading their comments about PGC and Radio Free Nintendo. The consensus: we suck. Oh well, I guess you can't please everybody. Sometimes you can't please anybody! And most of the time, you're just masturbating.

We should start a war with them now that they pulled a waggle out of thin air.

FUNHOUSE VS PENNIES ARCADE. Forget the Wii and PS3, this is where you can come and be entertained.

Its good to see they share the same opinion of IGN as we do. Some dumb (and hot) chick gets hired from this interview:

Quote
N: What do you think of Reggie?

JC: Well, you know, I don't know all that much about him, because I'm not really into following Nintendo to such a degree, but, how do I put it? He was like an infomercial dude. I mean that's kind of the feeling I got from it.

IGN: He's basically Ron Popeil.

JC: Yeah, he's an infomercial guy. I mean, don't sell me Nintendo's bullsh*t, because their display at—I mean I don't know what PlayStation and Xbox [had] because I'm not cool enough to sneak into theirs—but, that little GameBoy Micro? What a piece of crap. Talk about Ikea junk. The first you say… you don't say, "This isn't any new technology, we just gave it a different faceplate and made it smaller." That's so stupid.

IGN: You're passionate about this. I like it.

JC: Oh, I am very passionate with my videogames. That, and then the whole downloading all games into the Revolution. We all know that we can mod our Xboxes and do that anyway. So, what are you bringing to the table? Nothing. The thing looks like a PlayStation, to start off with. So that's that.

WHUT?

Seriously, the whole lollin' interview is up there. She bags Nintendogs, she loved FF7, and plays World of Warcraft and Guild Wars. Take that as you will.

The Chobot is pure eye candy. I read a blog of hers putting down Nancy Grace and that other dude who's on at about the same time as her, and you know I totally agree with Chobot - their shows are terrible excuses for journalism. I also find Chobot accusing them of poor journalism to be irony to the Pth degree (that's TWO MORE than Nth, CHOBOT). She whores herself out to the gaming media and then expects me to take her seriously as she runs around interviewing people at E3. If you saw Matt Cassamassima or Doug Perry doing that they'd be laughingstocks. Moreover, imagine Larry King licking his microphone or Peter Jennings rubbing TIME magazine on his rump. It's disgusting and retarded.

No offense to PA, but their forums are basically competing with "MySpace" for the title of "Shower Drain of the Internet".

Ceric · « **Reply #15 on:** October 31, 2006, 09:49:08 AM »

You know this points out the need for the new name to come soon... Hopefully.
I'm not to surprised that their is a general distaste for PlanetGamecube on other forums. If they liked us they be here on this forum. That being said I'm glad most of them aren't.

TrueNerd · « **Reply #16 on:** October 31, 2006, 10:04:49 AM »

I think the general distaste comes from people seeing that site is a Nintendo fan site and most people automatically assume everyone here is an extremely zealous Nintendonaut. Plus, Stan handing out perfect tens to all Mario games like they were Halloween candy (a rather apt analogy, wouldn't you say?) surely isn't helping the site out in that regard.

Hey, I like PA's forums. I think you might be thinking of AICN talkback.

I think the Vestibule over at IGN takes the cake for worst forum ever. I feel like taking a shower after visiting.

pretty much every forum on the internet besides, like, SA, is like shooting bubonic plague directly into your brain
