it's nu-Sup Forums now
looking around Sup Forums and seeing what video games do to people, i must conclude that jack thompson was right
It all went downhill after 2007.
This guy is unforgettable to anyone from the 90's and early 2000's. It's really pretty ridiculous how much of a crusade this guy was on. It wasn't all bad, per se, but some shit like demanding the ESRB to provide detailed content description for all possible online interactions was just stupid. You know it's bad when he lobbied against video games so much that his state (Florida, if I'm not mistaken?) had him banned from practicing law anymore. He was a guy from another time who couldn't fit in with the changing tides, yet he thought he could push back with his position of power.
but user, Sup Forums's prime was in 2010-2012
everything before that was unironic ragefaces and lolsorandumb
>Sup Forums
>Neo Sup Forums
>Nu Sup Forums
Man, what I would give to go back...
It was such a simpler time and I'd love to fix some mistakes. Just one chance is all I would ask for.
...
Yes, do you carry Battletoads?
2007 was a pretty magical era thanks to Japan Tiem. I've never seen this board so collectively get behind a single subject so strongly. I remember when Charizard and King Dedede were announced, the first three pages were flooded with the same shit. It was pretty fucking incredible. Brawl has to be, by far, the most hyped game of all time that turned out to be both worse than the previous entry and a major disappointment overall.
No, in actuality the board died when /vg/ was popped out. Everyone started migrating to /vg/ to talk about video games. Sup Forums was for the most part a barren wasteland of people trying to figure out what they should be doing here since all video game discussion was just pushed to /vg/.
Now Sup Forums is not going to get back up on it's feet until Hiroshimoot makes an /ec/ (E-celeb) board to get rid of half of the shit posting. The other half of the shitposting just needs to go back to Sup Forums which will never happen considering Sup Forums is just porn that doesn't have a board already, and a watered down version of /soc/
/vg/ is basically just tripfag central, so take that as you will
inb4 dumb contrarians say LE DID NOTHING WRONG
Oh god I remember the FUUUUUUUUU-posting. What a time that was.
As evidenced by Undertale winning that GameFAQs poll, they sure don't remember rigging polls for hilarity.
This fucking bitch, I swear. I feel like she started this whole ruining video games movement.
>Why can't you skip gameplay like you can skip text?
Go read a fucking book then. Why the fuck would you buy expensive as fuck hardware and play proprietary media just to watch a shitty fucking story? There are books and movies that do what you're asking well. I'm just glad I haven't heard from her in years.
...
Nier Automata lets you skip the gameplay.
So did you boycott Yoko Taro or are sacred Japanese developers too much for your retarded mind to handle.
2011-2013 was the worst years for Sup Forums ever
>/vg/ is basically just tripfag central, so take that as you will
That's my problem with /vg/. It's all just circle-jerking with no real discussion. Shit sucks.
...
I hate that I've come to miss Jack Thompson. At least the gaming press didn't take his retarded crusades seriously.
Is this dude a legit Super saiyan or some shit?
More like Sperg Saiyan HAHAHAHAHAHAHA his gf is dead.
No seriously, though, I don't get the hate for this guy, I would never be able to dress like he does and pull that quirky nerd swag in the slightest, but he seems to have the confidence to be able to carry that style around.

>everything before that was unironic ragefaces and lolsorandumb
That's because ragefaces were funny for that time. It's ok for a community to have memes, and post inside jokes. Ragefaces only became a problem when outside communities began regurgitating the material.
But you know what? That was fine. Memes come, and memes go. They're supposed to die off. It's a healthy cycle.
The real problem is when the community is afraid to show any kind of joy because the boogieman [insert outsider here] is going to feel welcome on the board. So then we get trapped in a whirlwind of negativity. Which is around the era you seem to think is prime.
Wow, are you fucking serious? Why the fuck would they do that? I don't get it man, I guess I'm too old for this shit. Everyone's leaving me behind. I'm still interested in playing it sometime but man, I just don't get why they would do that.
>2011
>Sup Forums's prime
I still fault anonymous for that one. All anyone had to do was not respond.
But I guess Lucky Star just makes people retarded.
Remember when Jack Thompson got a sex change, changed his name to Anita Sarkeesian, then all the faggot nu-male liberals started agreeing with him
When I was a kid I truly believed this was the coolest fucking thing in the world
>Memes come, and memes go. They're supposed to die off. It's a healthy cycle.
Not all memes.
If there was ever more proof of this it's pic related.
Almost 3500 posts about babbies first vn. You can go look at it yourself but it's gotten to the point where almost everyone is tripfagging, they have a map of where everyone lives, and they post about waifus all day. This is simultaneously a containment board, as well as a curse for this board in that at the end of the day if you're wanting a discussion about a popular game you're going to get relegated to that shithole.
How did you guys stand looking at that ugly ass font?
i wrote a regex just to filter that guy's posts

hi
Lanced Jack and WTSnacks are before a lot of people's time. They're practically legends at this point, only told in stories.
...
On the contrary, I've frequented the Bloodborne Generals for the past few days while I'm doing a couple more playthroughs and the conversation, help, and co-op has been wonderful.
But /vg/ doesn't talk about video games. That's its dirty little secret.
move yor body freery
This will never not blow my mind. The two of them aren't 100% on the same page but people would call Thompson a lunatic for saying the same shit that Sarkeesian is saying.
>I feel like she started this whole ruining video games movement.
That's BioWare in general. ME3's ending helped create the rift you still see today between "critics" and customers.
ONE
That shit depressed me, everyone on Sup Forums was taking it so seriously. I don't know if we coulda managed to swing it into some troll choice winning but I feel like we should have been able to at least have a good time laughing at the forums whinging on about shit like mario getting beaten by it at least.
Aged memes:

Anyone remember that old site where you could make playlists of youtube videos and there was a chat where everyone watched them at the same time?
MIRRION

>10/10 game
further proof that Sonybros have shit-tier taste
HOLY FUCK
Remember, Sup Forums. Subtle.
Can you believe this was only 4 years ago?
That entire press conference was an absolutely incredible disaster. I wish Konami would give it another shot.
To be fair, I haven't opened /vg/ in a few years. I think I should give it another shot. I'm sure it also depends on the game as well so it's good to know that the Bloodborne general sounds good.
Not even sure how old/new this is, but it's one of the first memes I remembered.
synchtube
I can't believe this general still fucking exists
Arguably, but it's true that everything trully started going downhill fast from there.
From 2012 and onward, every single years has been dramatically worse than the previous one.
I'd say we've reached a pretty quiet state lately with everything being your average console war shit, but echoes of the past drama is still strong around here.
Yes, I'm well aware that Bane posting still exists. Along with Pepe, and JUST, and a bunch of other memes that are well beyond their expiration date. Yet they've become zombies and still live on somehow.
That's how it is in nu-Sup Forums. Memes never die.
Whenever I needed an answer that Sup Forums couldn't/wouldn't give me, /vg/ always delivered.
Sup Forums has more shitposters than actual video games enthusiasts. Don't fucking pretend like this board is any better.
To this day, I still have no idea what the fuck was supposed to be going on
Also this is, from when I could still read copy pastas en laugh with tears rolling down my cheeks. Good times
TROOPS
Wikipedia is full of bots and do it 4 free faggots now. It was hard during the golden age of wiki vandalism, it's even harder now.
...
Galo shit was never funny.
True definition of a forced meme.
Sup Forums ain't great right now but 2011-2013 were the fucking nadir, there's no way it was better back then.
Oh, I remember all right.
Now that I think of it, those were probably Sup Forums memes and not Sup Forums memes.
It's definitely better, sorry pal. Anything useful /vg/ has can be gleaned from their OPs.
Or, let me guess, you don't realize Sup Forums already has generals back?
EXPLODING VAN
This was without a doubt the worst kneejerk reaction in history.
All we had to do was wait out the Katawa Shoujo hype. There were a lot of threads no doubt, people were talking about it nonstop. But it would die off, things always die off here. People are very quick to jump to the next thing.
But instead we gave the people who were especially devoted to the game a breeding ground to frolic and continue on with their business as per usual. Those generals only exist because we specifically gave them the resource to continue existing. The fact that these threads are all the same people talking to eachother thread after thread goes to show that these would have ended on any normal board.
But mootkins just had to make /vg/ because everyone was bitching.
Fuck yes thanks user
...
Remember that time when everyone was supposedly supposed to just leave Sup Forums in protest?
me either.
this made me feel old, was mudkips 05? 04??
>tfw even Jack Thompson has spoken out against Anita
>you don't realize Sup Forums already has generals back?
I only see New Vegas generals being back, I woudn't mind /vg/ being scrapped and generals coming back to Sup Forums, tho.
>tfw lost all of my truly old Sup Forums files
Then you don't pay attention at all, which is a good thing. /vg/ is a good containment board for morons like you.
thanks op, she is hot bitch in porn, i cum so hard while hurtling through space toward a decommissioned space station. slowly, i pull my knees to my chest and close my eyes as my bowels begin to expel hundreds upon hundreds of beautiful, symmetrical turds, brown as the day is long. i laugh like a young girl as my turds drift aimlessly behind me; they are as butterflies to a child frolicking in the fields of elysium.
i approach the station's docking port, flaccid cock in hand, and prepare to float gently into its inviting confines. i extend my cockless arm jubilantly, as to celebrate the majesty and depth of space, and thank jesus christ for this ultimate gift and blessing. but suddenly, my outstretched arm collides with the outer rim of the docking port, and the trajectory of my quaggy body is violently halted.
the fates afford me barely enough time to turn my head before the turds arrive. one thousand turds, each one seemingly larger than the last. i try in vain to cleanse my eyes of the shitsting, but succeed only in smearing my own fecal matter into a fine asspaste, which slowly seeps into my eyes and nasal cavity. i inhale three hundred and twenty four Space Turds; my lungs are permeated completely with my own shit. i hang lax, spirit broken, defeated by poop. i will never be the same. i am forever a shit faggot.
I think my most favorite part was when this black dude in a business suit (the most normal looking guy all day) starts describing a new, upcoming game. He's totally normal about and it seems like this could be something halfway decent. Then they show the trailer and it's the most 8-year old girl anime shit I've ever seen with absolutely no gameplay whatsoever. At that point, I completely gave up and convinced myself that Konami was purposely trying to kill themselves.
rip scientology
not Sup Forums though.
What a glorious clusterfuck that was
Henderson Castration Tools.flv
Same, earliest ones I still have are from 2010
to be fair it isn't like KS was the only shithole general at the time. /vp/ was an offshoot made pretty much solely because of generals before /vg/ and dota2, starcraft 2 and lol come to mind as other games that just flooded Sup Forums nonstop.
Ding dong Bannu and Gailo Sengan are timeless desu
Final Fantasy XIV and Fire Emblem generals are also coming back here for whatever fucking reason.
Final Fantasy is particularly cancerous because the community for that game is absolutely garbage. One time the general over at /vg/ turned into shit flinging drama because of someobodys internet girlfriend cheating on him with some other internet faggot.
neo-Sup Forums clearly remembers this
and it's the reason why we have so many Tortanic-esque discussion in Sup Forums over the years
don't you remember all those people wanting to make an e-sports board because of all the LoL/SC2 spam
oh hey look
Nintendo doing DLC far before the 8th gen happened
>le blame 2007 meme
Let me guess, this is going to lead to blaming all of Sup Forums's problems on ZIMBABWE again with zero context and pure hyperbole.
>ad hominem
Did I touch a nerve when I said this board had more shitposters than vidya players?
Why are you so hostile?
>Jack Thompson was right
>Bobby Kotick was right
What the FUCK happened Sup Forums?
>Fire Emblem general
/feg/ is full of waifufags that spam the same post every thread since fates release
...
In what way were they right?
I stopped seeing threads about both of these series thanks to filters. Don't forget about them, they're lifesavers.
Bobby Kotick was right about Double Fine faggot, can't remember his name
...
