If targeting Tropers is frowned upon then you can delete this.

I know Sony isn't the greatest company and have made plenty of stupid mistakes/decisions over the last few months but it truly gets annoying when every time a Playstation related topic comes up, it's always him posting them, always him making snide comment about the Playstation, now I can handle people bitching about things I like (Every time I go to anything Final Fantasy related, it's bound to happen) but this can get tedious, it's like it's our fault for having some kind of trust in Sony and now we're all screwed because we got one or that this is proof that Sony can do nothing but fuck up.

Also, whenever someone tries to call him out on it even if it's in a friendly manner, he flips his shit and produces many a cluster F bomb or just labels you a strawman political or some shit.

ClockworkUniverse · 2011-02-28 21:12:09

Targeting tropers isn't actually prohibited, but it'll get you some close scrutiny, and if there's even the slightest chance of the drama heading over to the other forum, this is getting locked or zapped.

Personally, I'm going to be looking for the slightest excuse. I'm really not comfortable with doing this.

Briankelly130 · 2011-02-28 21:17:34

Well I don't plan on sending it to the other forum, I'd rather keep it here but yeah, I'd say just keep watch on it for now.

Noimporta · 2011-02-28 21:36:03

JAF is a Microsoft fanboy, it's what he does, the same way Indigo Dingo (a Sony fanboy) makes not-so-subtle jabs at the other consoles all the time, or Eric DVH (a PC fanboy), can't post one time without reminding everyone that the PC is the superior gaming machine.

And frankly, it's not even exclusive to them, they just stand out more because their opinions happen to be unpopular in the Video Games forum (and because they are dicks about it, plenty of times), no one (except glowsquid, god bless him) really bats an eye when someone starts obvious uninformed bitching about "brown, gritty and realistic FPSes" being generic and drowning the market, while willfully ignoring that the cutesy platformers or JRPGs or whatever they play are just as (if not more) generic. And despite the complaining about JAF and Indigo being dicks (perfectly justified complaints, for they are, indeed, dicks), many other users are really disrespectful to them too, gleefully throwing insults at them at every chance.

The point is, yes, his behaviour is pretty reprehensible at times, but all of the video games forum is pretty hostile, and before slinging accusations it's good to look at one's problems.

Briankelly130 · 2011-02-28 21:52:02

Well I don't pay complete attention to every thread unless I'm actually interested in it (Final Fantasy, Pokemon, etc.) and I enjoy reading about screw ups when it comes to any gaming company but ever since the PS3 Root key thread came up, it's been a total mess, in the end I just told myself to screw it and just avoid it but now it seems that if each console thread will end up like this (Which I'm sure it won't) then it ruins it for me but I've never really said anything about it until now and I've been on the original IJBM long enough to know that people like to bitch but it's better when the bitching is kept at a spaced pace and not just several threads devoted to Sony or Microsoft or Bieber right at the top but that's just me.

I'll consider thinking more about it, I'd rather he just calmed down a bit.

GuyInWhite · 2011-02-28 21:53:15

"Targeting tropers isn't actually prohibited"

Ooh, ooh! Someone do an IJBM about me!

But seriously, though, have you ever tried "calming down a bit" when you're totally anonymous on the internet? It's a lot harder than it sounds for some people.

Tnophelia · 2011-02-28 22:00:24

He makes way too many threads.

Myrmidon · 2011-02-28 22:03:43

Perfectly good ignore extentions, people.

Tnophelia · 2011-02-28 22:04:10

I know right?

But everyone feels the need to pay attention to what they hate.

ClockworkUniverse · 2011-02-28 22:06:24

Yeah, I have to admit I broke down and grabbed the ignore extension a couple of days ago. Makes forum browsing much more pleasant.

GuyInWhite · 2011-02-28 22:12:30

There's an ignore extension? I don't want to be ignored...

DonZabu · 2011-02-28 22:13:13

I suppose I should count myself lucky that I don't browse those forums much.

Tnophelia · 2011-02-28 22:19:14

I have 2 people from here on it, and 23 people from over at TVT on it.

ClockworkUniverse · 2011-02-28 22:23:07

I only have one person over at TVT. Might add more in the future, but I'm trying not to.

randomtropeloser · 2011-02-28 22:27:21

I used to feel bad about not ever visiting the video game board, but now I'm starting to think I did myself a favor.

Tnophelia · 2011-03-01 00:02:25

Video Games bring out the worst in people....who play video games.

Nyarly · 2011-03-01 02:54:09

I don't really know what to think of JAF. He made some... wallbanger-ish comments in the past.

But if my suspicion, what made you create this thread, is correct, then I can't take you seriously. It looks like you are a just Sony fan, who apparently can't stand the thought that they did something wrong. That's at least the impression that I got, judging from your thoughtless bitching in the "PlayStation 3 banned in Europe" thread.

glennmagusharvey · 2011-03-01 03:00:18

I haven't seen much of JAF's, Dingo's, or Eric's fankiddism of console companies.

Then again, I don't randomly browse stuff in the video games subforum. I mostly stuck to threads about game series I care about, and that's about it.

I do admit that I kinda feel guilty when accusing WRPGs of being brown and dull. I haven't played WRPGs much at all, and fully admit it; that said, the visuals I've seen from various sources do point to me not being a huge fan of the visual style. Which is why there's that one thread where I was asking for people to suggest a game with WRPG gameplay but JRPG visuals.

Briankelly130 · 2011-03-01 04:25:31

^^ Well I guess it was a bad topic to post it in but I was just saying that at this point, we can assume he's not Sony's biggest fan and most of the PS3 topics come from him, a good few of them are negative.

Also, I'm not a fanboy of anything, if Sony screws up, I enjoy reading about it and don't really care one way or the other, if you must pin me down to anything, I'm more of an Apple hating guy. Every other company I've seen that I'm interested in can screw up and I don't mind.

glennmagusharvey · 2011-03-01 05:03:46

I'm a traditional Nintendo gamer, but I don't really mind the other companies.

I just have relatively less interest in them because they don't produce products I'm interested in. I become more interested when they do.

Electivirus · 2011-03-01 05:12:05

What Glenn said.

His constant plugging of his blog annoys me a bit, but other than that, I just ignore him (not with the extension, mind you).

Also, his smug attitude. >.>

Tnophelia · 2011-03-01 05:37:09

the "Pass The Popcorn" comment and his support of hackers taking the code of the PS3 was....erh.

Nyarly · 2011-03-01 05:56:57

^^^^ This doesn't explain why you thought that it's bullshit that the PS3 is banned (only for a short time even). But I guess you didn't even read the OP and only saw that it's by JAF.

He may be smug, he may be sometimes downright assholish, he may be biased against Sony (and I don't get why anyone would care about that, aside from Sony/PS fanboys), but that doesn't automatically mean that his information is wrong (I'm not saying that it's always right either, though).

Briankelly130 · 2011-03-01 06:09:32

Well it is annoying, can't I say that I dislike something without being labeled a fan boy.

And yeah, I'll admit I didn't read the topic until I posted the comment but I think it still stands. That's why I said it probably wasn't the best topic to put that comment in.

Glowsquid · 2011-03-01 06:52:21

still no mention of the size of his penis?

IJBM, I am midly surprised.

Electivirus · 2011-03-01 06:52:53

~~Got any pics so that I may judge it?~~

Nyarly · 2011-03-01 07:12:35

...
I... didn't know that he is such a big personality.

(no pun intended)

Tnophelia · 2011-03-01 08:11:38

He's a Low Tier celebrity?

God damn.

I knew we had Boxxy on TVT, but I didn't know he had him too...

glennmagusharvey · 2011-03-01 12:29:25

What the heck are you talking about?

Briankelly130 · 2011-03-01 12:50:57

I think we've derailed into penis size or something and now we're in for a whole load of puns

glennmagusharvey · 2011-03-01 14:04:43

Howdy, Stranger!
