this is the indie game bro right here

Youre also the horror bro, and i think you run a contest too

If these are the things I'm remembered for here I'm 100% satisfied

wallmasterz - this is the Mario bro right here. Don't nobody know more about Mario then this guy. Also he dm'd me telling me "nice game collection" so this user is cool with me forever

Punnyz - this is the fighting game master right here. Back in the day I fought this guy online in Street Fighter IV or something, and he just relentlessly fucking destroyed me, and eventually when I was like "cough cough okay i gotta run" he was nice enough to still be like "ggs"

Also another random memory - when Blue Dragon came out, I thought it was a piece of shit and returned it to the store, but you made a playthrough topic for it, and you were like "i dunno guys, should i give up on this?" and i was like "no, you have to see it through!" and you were like "ok" lmao. Fucking Blue Dragon man. Game fucking sucked.

Also... I might just be imagining this, but I think there was an old picture of you holding an Xbox 360 or something, while making a super funny face? It was you or someone else. If you still have it, please post it again, because that shit just lives in my head rent free

UltimaterializerX - Oh boy lol. Okay, first off, back in the day I used to go to the b8 wiki and the character profile geocities site, and there was always "ULTI'S ANALYSIS" lmao so at first I was like "oh shit this guy got clout."

Fast forward to last year during my FF ranking topic, and the topic was just bumping itself for no reason. I made a topic like "uh guys wtf is going on", and someone was like "you have Ulti blocked." lmao. And I honestly don't even remember why I blocked you.

I actually find it funny you are such a quintessential part of board 8 culture, yet so many people hate you for whatever reason. But two things are true - 1. people deserve a second chance, and 2. we are all very different people now than when we were edgy teenagers and twenty-somethings, so fuck it you're cool with me. Everything you post makes you seem like a quality user, and I appreciate your help in my Dark Souls II topi-

Isquen - Another guy who always rides with me on both FF14 and Souls. Thanks for always being there for me! This is actually a really pleasant user who has good takes. I actually first got to know you in my FF ranking topic, where you talked about completely breaking FFX. Make Yuna go down Auron's route so Bahamut fucking destroys people - incredible.

I'll do one for you in return. one time we played in MVC3 and I swept you with haggar and you told me "HOW ARE YOU THIS GOOD?" and I was like...am I? Lol

REALLY back then we used to not be too fond of each other but it was really light and not too hateful as other examples
and I can't remember what the topic was, it was "What RPG character you remind me of" or Possibly even "Suikoden character"

but you chose Pahn for me, since he was big and strong, but you saw him as a total idiot because he was always like "WHERES MAH FUUD I"M HUNGRY", you even went on a small rant about how you hated his official art because it gave him too much dignity and made him look cooler than you thought he was Lol.

and even back then I found that hilarious and it always stuck with me. I still laughed about it right now. I was like "Yea, I'm like that, aren't?" lol

Lmao oh god i dont remember any of that. Thats hilarious tho. What a cringe little bastard i was

And the hilariously meek "D-don't move..." using Threaten, of course.

BlueCrystalTear - Okay so this is the account I confused NBIceman with. I already know im an idiot ok

And oh boy lol. Just like with Ulti, people deserve second chances, but man you were infamous on my main forum back in the day lmao. No joke - once a year I get together with my old internet friends, and we reminisce on the old forum days, and one time they were like "Hey Josh, remember when you invited that guy andyman to our forum?" and I just had to sit there and let them laugh at me and take the L.

But whatever its all good. And nah I haven't watched Survivor in forever. God I forgot we used to go hard on that shit here on b8 with Inviso and everyone. I think I even ran Save my Survivor? Between this and Pun's post I'm now suffering from second hand embarrassment, so thanks a lot guyz

colliding's actual serious writeup - despite our differences we could probably both karaoke the Lunar music together so he's cool with me. PS: this writeup wasnt serious at all

catesdb - oh dude she's hilarious - "grandia 1 looks like a middle schoolers cartoon show" lmao and also "i will now rank .3 vgm" lmao i still have no fucking clue what that meant or what the rules were.

And she made the Unicorn Overlord topic so yeah she's cool

ZaziGuado - im drawing a blank right now sorry ;-;

guffguy89 - see above

_Blur_ - he's my Bloodborne bro. Also I enjoyed watching him conquer F-Zero 99, and I remember there was a game contest where we had to choose between Smash Ultimate and Elden Ring, and he was like YO THIS IS HARD, and I was like YO SAME, so he has good taste

MacArrowny - A bit of a mixed bag for me

THE GOOD:
He was an absolute bro in my FF14 topic
Hates The Quarry

THE BAD:
Souls detractor who just made up random nonsense in his arguments
A wiseass who joked there aren't that many great Sega Genesis games

So the jury is still out on this guy

Mac has some wild opinions but he's a good dude

I'll have you know I played NiGHTS into Dreams recently and now acknowledge that Sega has made another good game :p

Wondering if I'm recognizable at all lol. Admittedly I mostly lurk

Xtlm - uhhhhhh... OH, he's a fellow retro game collector. He also enjoys Japanese Saturn games. True.

Wicklebee - no idea

hombad46 - another fellow One Piece bro, and when I made my Pokemon Sword/Shield topic asking people their thoughts, he was actually one of the ones who convinced me it sucks

Andddd I think that's it. Whew that took all of my mental energy

Well don't stop there; keep going! Hit up Xtlm; I'm sure he can recommend you something

The problem with me trolling for so long is people dont take my opinion as me actually meaning it when theyre against the grain as it were.

I promise you I despite Shadow of the Colossus and think the game is bad. That is not me trolling.

sorry cant hear you over how ignored you are

Hell yeah

Posting here

Hello

Shadow of the Colossus or as I call it Barren Open Spaces: Horseback Riding Simulator Edition might not be a 1/10 but it's darn close.

Lopen and Ulti are still bitter that SotC deservedly beat MGS2 in Game of the Decade

^You sure you wanna be this guy Ulti?

As someone who liked SotC but likes MGS2 a lot more that match was worth it.

I mildly apologize for not delivering the rankings of the .3 VGM before it purged

but I think we all got what we wanted out of it

this board is a wonderful place

I disliked SotC way before it beat MGS2

The contest pitting my least favorites against my favorites and the favorites invariably losing is something I'm used to but rarely actually colors my opinion on the character

Luigi winning a bunch of matches he didn't deserve is the closest thing-- even then I wouldn't say I hate Luigi because of it just not a fan.

Yeah, I was gonna say when I saw you confused him and I, lol

Those were the days. I'm a very different person now than I was then. I think the medication change helped a LOT. So if I were to join that, I might blow their minds too. I fully admit that back then, I wasn't a good fit for TUV. (Yes, I remember the name.) Now... I struggle getting accepted in lots of places no matter how I modify my behavior. I just wish people were more willing to talk to each other and see where they're coming from. I don't mean harm to anyone and just having a conversation would help others realize that.

But whatever its all good. And nah I haven't watched Survivor in forever. God I forgot we used to go hard on that shit here on b8 with Inviso and everyone. I think I even ran Save my Survivor? Between this and Pun's post I'm now suffering from second hand embarrassment, so thanks a lot guyz

Current season of Survivor actually started off pretty good but it's probably going to devolve into more gamebot crap and boy, do I hate that. I only still watch to spend time with my dad tbh.

And there are still a handful of us talking about it in the "Reality Show topic" - including Inviso.

Woah, nice job! And it is all true!

Hi

Haha didnt expect to be mentioned in the first post thanks for the nice writeup. For future reference I prefer they. The Disney Princess knowledge came from a podcast I listened to recently lol, Im sure Ill forget it all if it hasnt made a permanent mark on my soul.

Go for it

swirldude - this user has been around forever but i cant remember anything in particular right now

Maniac64 - One Piece bro, but unfortunately also a Souls detractor, so the jury is still out

LordoftheMorons - Another FF14 bro. Also I remember in my FF ranking topic, everybody was in the middle of this giant heated argument about Nomura, and right in the middle was your post that just said i like ff5 despite the story lmao

greengravy294 - I remember you posted a topic that was like i like to see others suffer so i can feel better about myself and ive been side eyeing you ever since

Im really glad to hear that, and your posts seem pretty chill nowadays, so me and you are cool as far as im concerned

These are both true. Though maybe I'm less a detractors and more "these games are not for me".

I am a bad gamer and don't like challenging games like Souls and especially long boss battles you have to try multiple times. I'm bad at them and don't get satisfaction from eventually beating them, so it's just lots of frustration followed but minor relief when it's over.

I know other people really enjoy them and I'm glad they exist for those people. Just keep them as their own thing please and dont stick one of those bosses in a game it doesnt fit (I am still mad about the last DLC boss in Witcher 3).

Sure
