Hey guys,
I heard a lot about neogaf when Too Human came out, apparently it has something to do with Denis Dyack.
Its a forum or some shit? what exactly is it? how did DD ruin it?
and why are there so many users online at the same time.
if anyone can answer these patiently, I would appreciate.
later,
xplodedd...

www.google.com + "NeoGAF" = Answer!

Seriously though NeoGAF is a website for the video game industry where people discuss games, not unlike GiantBomb. Just remember though its a lot less cool and has a lack of Luchadeer, energy drink and hamburger discussion.

Dennis Dyack got on the Neogaf boards as a user and posted about how Too Human will be the greatest game ever, and when people started giving him shit, he was dishing the shit back. That's it.

Dennis Dyack posted a thread asking for people's feedback on the game before it was released, people dissed it quite a bit, made quite a big joke of the game, Dennis Dyack started getting involved in arguments on the forum blablabla and it culminated on him going on the 1up yours podcast and giving some big lecture about the internet and accountability and all this random crap that was hugely entertaining.

DD posted saying if Too Human comes out people can say if they think it will be good or not.

"If it's good those who said it would not be good must wear a title under their avater saying "Owned By Too Human"

"If the game turns out to be a stinking pile of garbage I will wear a title saying "Owned by NeoGAF"

Those are the quotes and all the information you need.

It also gets talked about a lot because it has a massive community with a few insiders - the likes of Dennis Dyack and David Jaffe post there and also there are a ton of people who write for various magazines and websites.

It all results in the odd leak from time to time. That's why you hear about it quite a bit.

The NeoGAF community is one of the banes of video game forums.

I couldn't agree more, honestly the community there needs to be put down like a rabid dog.

It's only the most popular video games related forums. Where Kotaku gets all of their news at.

I have to say Giantbomb would be a whole different place without amazing moderator like hamz!
