1000 forum posts later, do you even recognize my avatar?

Hello Giant Bombers. It seems I have now made it to the 1,000 mark. Who would have thought that I would stick with these forums even after nobody responded to my very first post. I have been around the block and tried to participate in the IGN forums, the GameTrailers forums, and even the GamesRadar forums (back when those existed). I eventually found a home with Yahoo Answers where internet shenanigans were allowed to run wild. That ran its course though and for a while I just stopped posting comments on websites entirely. Eventually though, I figured what the hell, I may as well join the Giant Bomb forums, I already listen to the podcast. And the rest is history.

I am very grateful to this community. Seriously, you guys are the best! I did not have a Steam account before Giant Bomb, and every Steam game I currently have has been given to me by a Giant Bomber. You dudes are amazing and I promise you guys I will one day give away some stuff as well to help share the love. This place has stricken a really good balance between humor, shenanigans, and seriousness (although it could stand to loosen up a bit more).

Very first Photoshopped image I made for the site.
Very first Photoshopped image I made for the site.
That's me!
That's me!

But who the hell am I? Do you people even know? Have any of you ever even taken the time to even read my mini-bio, lists, achievements or blog posts? Am I anybody meaningful to these forums (obviously not the extent of users like , , or to name a few), or am I just some random jackass who has way too many typos and asks inappropriate questions?

Don't recognise you and why should I? This should be an anon. forum? Unless you're a fool and have no life so you want to show yourself to the internet to make yourself feel better which is pretty pathetic.

Also you posted a 1000 times? How is this significant in any way? I would love an explanation? But realistically there is none.

I recognize you by your avatar, and good on you for actually having a question for the whiskey media family answered.

Me, I haven't done anything close to worthwhile on this site. And I hate to say it, but the members I really remember the most are jerks, to put it politely.

I think I recognise the avatar, but I'm useless at remembering peoples names on this site. Then again, I'm the type of person who will comment 10 times in a few hours and then post nothing for 4 days - its a miracle I recognise anyone by doing that!

plays a character that lives on the moon for some reason.

tries really hard to look deeply at stuff, but usually comes up ridiculously short. He thinks I hate him, but I'm starting to soften to him because he does seem to earnestly try, sometimes he actually succeeds in a writing a decent post that isn't an insult to the senses or anyone that disagrees with him, and because people jump on him now no matter what he writes (no matter how mundane or non-inflammatory).

posts a lot and makes videos and stuff because I think he wants to be more recognizable on the forums. For a while he seemed to be going for quantity over quality, but he's since toned it down.

is a cool old dude that loves his goddamn Wii. Keep fighting the good fight, sir.

makes some cool audio shit on the site.

is Rich Gallup.

is sexy and a girl. Also, my girlfriend.

and are pretty cool, mellow duders.

wrote the creepy, erotic fan-fiction in my bio.

is seemingly obsessed with Persona, and he's pretty smart and rational in Off-Topic discussions.

and are two users I always confuse with one another, and for some reason I think they've identified themselves as fat and angry. I like one of them, but can't remember which...

is a chick that loves Garbage and Nintendo.

luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurves Bioware unconditionally.

is a hamburger. He wants to be inside me. Fake your own death.

Off the top of my head, that's the extent of who I know on Giant Bomb and how well, really, aside from recognizing avatars.

Haha, I used to confuse myself with crusader too! But he's more of a hardcore 90s RTS/CRPG PC gamer, I'm a bit more contemporary.

Yes, I recognize you. Congratulations on the 1,000th post!

Also, on the avatar thing - I try not to change mine too much. I sometimes edit my Sora such as - Kenny Sora, Skyrim Sora, Batman Sora etc if I want to change it up. I changed to Earthworm Jim for a couple of posts and I liked it, but I've had the Sora avatar for a while now and I think a lot of people know me by that.

@Wrighteous86: Hey, since we're talking about memorable people here wanna hear something funny? I still sort of resent you for making me feel like an idiot in a Star Wars thread back when you had a Majora's Mask avatar. My comment was about Yoda fighting with a lightsaber for the first time and I admitted (reluctantly, though I don't think it came off that way in the post at all) that it blew my mind at the time and that I thought it was really cool when I first saw it in the theatre.

You then commented something about how the scene made you lose hope in the franshise when you saw it as a kid. I figured that if 86 was your birthyear then we were about the same age when we saw it, and I felt like I was made a fool of for being a dumb kid. Basically, I was admitting to something that I was already pretty embarrassed for having liked and then someone came and rubbed it in by suggesting they had better critical thinking at about the same age.

I ended up making some pissy passive aggressive comment back, it wasn't exactly my finest moment, but it has sorta stuck with me since.

Just needed to get that off my chest.

DRAMA!!!

That's nice dude, personally I don't like to take credit for my forum post because I've quoted people without commenting just because that comment said what I wanted to say sometimes I just say a dumb thing that dosn't even fit a line so... forum post don't have any meaning to me if the system could only count the meaningfull ones I bet we'll all have a lot less comments except for Phycosis (?) or PixelPrinny they do write a lot.

@RockmanBionics: Haha, I never meant any offense. I get why, on a visceral level, seeing Yoda be a badass was cool. I just didn't think that's who Yoda was before that scene happened. I explained my stance later in that thread.

@Wrighteous86 said:

@Contra: Also, in the Original Trilogy, the whole point of Yoda, the whole message he was trying to teach Luke, was epitomized by "Size matters not." He was this insane Jedi warrior despite his physical failings. It was his force abilities and his mind that made him a badass. If he had done the fight just using the force, or even controlling the lightsaber with his mind, that would've been one thing, but flipping around and being a physical fighter was out of character. You could argue he was using the force to flip around and practically fly around Dooku, but you'd have to think there would be a more effective way for him to fight if his mastery was that strong. They fix this a bit when he battles the Emperor in Ep. 3, where the two are using their powers more than actually swordfighting. I did get a kick out of them throwing lightning and daises around like they were nothing.

Sorry you got offended. I wasn't trying to say you were dumb for feeling differently. I've always fancied myself a bit of a writer, so I take character and story pretty seriously, even with dumb things like video games and Star Wars. I'm more of a writer geek than a Star Wars geek, in that sense. Anyway, it's totally fine, normal, and expected that a kid our age would like Yoda in Episode II. It was fan-service; that was the point. I'm just that much of a nerd, I guess.

Oh, and I didn't take your response as a pissy comeback then, or now. (Well, I guess I do now since you've said that's how it was intended, haha.) No hard feelings, I hope.

@Wrighteous86: Well I like writing too, it's actually one of the few things I could see myself getting good at, but I also feel like I haven't, in the past, been very good at looking at something critically. It's something I've been working on improving but also probably something I've ended up becoming pretty self conscious and self critical about, which is why I take any criticism concerning it (intentional or imagined) rather harshly.

Anyhow thanks for being a good sport and even taking the time to look up that old thread. I could not care less for the outcome of an old argument at this point but it felt good to get this old grudge resolved. You seem like a pretty good duder, afterall, and I didn't like not liking you.

Cheers, or what else you say.
