Get hype, people.

I'm confused, are dicks pics okay to post on the beta site? Specifically dragon dicks. Or maybe dragons fucking cars.

#55 Posted by AtomicEdge (270 posts) - 6 months, 5 days ago

Header images for pages gives me an uncomfortable hardon.

#56 Posted by dungbootle (2258 posts) - 6 months, 5 days ago

Yay!!!

Stop being crazy.

That 1 star Jeff for COD Black Ops Portable was the first 1 star Jeff. I think.

I want to say that's not true, but I'm too lazy to prove it. Edit: Rock Revolution was the one I was thinking of, but if you sort by lowest scored reviews, Jeff has about five one stars. Turns out I wasn't quite too lazy, but it was a close call.

But with my quote I was pointing out that may as well have written "If you've seen them all, then you've seen them all." I thought that was funny.

Wait.. so one star Vinny has never been used? Holy cow...

He's just too nice!

#60 Posted by Bourbon_Warrior (4524 posts) - 6 months, 5 days ago

@dungbootle: I can't remember the last time Vinny HATED a game.

#61 Posted by crusader8463 (13169 posts) - 6 months, 5 days ago

I really want to know how free the forums are going to be on this new place as they kept saying it's going to be a free for all no rules site while in beta. So is it really no rules in that as long as you are not posting anything illegal like kiddie porn you can post and say anything, or is there some kind of gentlemen's rules that I'm just not aware of?

#62 Posted by Demoskinos (9485 posts) - 6 months, 5 days ago

@crusader8463: Unfortunately the rules still apply. BAH HUMBUG. I say to that. I'm just saying... the staff should give the okay to just fucking go wild because that would be amazing.

#63 Posted by The_Laughing_Man (12622 posts) - 6 months, 5 days ago

So how do we know when it's up?

Yeah, I'm trying hard to remember that as well. I can vaguely remember him being extremely bummed out on Skyward Sword, but that's pretty much it.

When did they go back on that? On one of the livestreams they specifically went out of their way to talk about how it was going to be a no rules forum during beta. Maybe legal made them go back on that?

I think it was more along the lines of "Go ahead and go crazy with the wiki" and "we'll be slack on useless posts" and less "do whatever you want where ever you want."

I AM HYPED.

#71 Posted by Winternet (7624 posts) - 6 months, 5 days ago

Just give it to me straight. When will this go up?

#72 Posted by Jost1 (2065 posts) - 6 months, 5 days ago

My body etc

#73 Posted by Xeirus (1162 posts) - 6 months, 5 days ago

I'm curious how we'll access it once it's up

#74 Posted by Ravelle (578 posts) - 6 months, 5 days ago

My secret shame is website redesigns, I can't wait.

#75 Posted by coribald (254 posts) - 6 months, 5 days ago

Man, I am going to DESTROY that Wiki.

#76 Posted by notdavid (563 posts) - 6 months, 5 days ago

Is today tomorrow yet?

#77 Posted by musclerider (553 posts) - 6 months, 5 days ago

This is going to be a goddamn nightmare.

I can't wait.

#78 Posted by Joker369 (818 posts) - 6 months, 5 days ago

Always fun to see a new site design, although I'm sure that Dave and Alexis must be freaking out now.

#79 Posted by jakob187 (20760 posts) - 6 months, 5 days ago

I'm expecting screenshots.

#80 Posted by Hizang (8534 posts) - 6 months, 5 days ago

Are we allowed to go nuts and create topics in the wrong area and create pages for random crap? I remember Dave saying in a live stream once we are supposed to test it.

#81 Posted by Fattony12000 (4415 posts) - 6 months, 5 days ago

HURRY UP DAVE!

UPLOAD THE SITE TO GEOCITES!

#82 Posted by SgtSphynx (474 posts) - 6 months, 5 days ago
#83 Posted by Vager (1645 posts) - 6 months, 5 days ago

An hour or two to go. Can't wait!

#84 Posted by DG991 (1334 posts) - 6 months, 5 days ago

No rules?

First thing I am going to do is request quick looks for every thing.

EVERYTHING

#85 Posted by Joker369 (818 posts) - 6 months, 5 days ago

An hour or two. RT enemykite any exact time for the beta site launch?

Shame about the achievement/trophies support going away, but hopefully it will be back.

wait when did they talk about the achievement stuff going away?

Quote from Jeff : Anyway, as others have said, we're discontinuing trophy/achievement support with the launch of the new site. My hope is that we'll be able to get it back in there at some point down the line... hopefully with something that doesn't break every time Microsoft or Sony changes something on their backend.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Hype level: GOT

(I wouldn't normally be this excited, but I've just finished my last assignment of the year and I'm already 4 shots into this bottle of Jager)

#88 Posted by jakob187 (20760 posts) - 6 months, 5 days ago

I'm almost tempted to resub just for the site beta...and the insanity that it is going to be. At the same time, that would also mean I'd be resubbing specifically to see a bunch of immature gamers post pictures of different types of dicks everywhere. I'd be knowing that while buying another sub.

Goddammit...so tempting...

#89 Posted by Napalm (9020 posts) - 6 months, 5 days ago

HYPE GOTTEN SO HYPPEEEEEEE GDLK.

@BestUsernameEver

I am assuming for members, right?

Site staff/mods first to work out the major issues, then subscribers.

OK so it's only for mods for now, I'll check back tomorrow then

#91 Posted by NegativeCero (2540 posts) - 6 months, 5 days ago

Well, I'm ready for things to break.

#92 Posted by Nux (2006 posts) - 6 months, 5 days ago

I can't wait to break the beta site...I mean test how much stress it can handle.

#93 Edited by Chavtheworld (4266 posts) - 6 months, 5 days ago

SO MANY BAD IMAGES WILL BE UPLOADED

*Disclaimer, bad as in incorrect, not inappropriate*

Also I might write some reaaaally bad reviews.

No one will be posting dicks.

Or at least, anyone who posts dicks will be first on the list of people to test the banning system out on.

@Bourbon_Warrior

I hear they are getting rid of the quest system and avatars on reviews, this is not good.

Quests are dumb and review avatars aren't necessary.

If you post pornography during the beta you will be moderated.

This isn't the Giant Bomb launch for goodness sake!
