Forums - General Discussion - I'm done with Joystiq. From now on I'm VGChartz 4 life!

YES!!! Normally, I'd ask for the story behind such a marvelous picture, but this picture itself is its own reward. It needs no explanation. So rad.

I was at a very nerdy event (anime club gaming night or something) and there was girl with an elaborate gothic lolita outfit present. I asked her if I could borrow the whatchamacallit head piece, and she was happy to oblige. There was much horror and loss of life.

I also did other manly stuff like putting someone's Halo 3 Limited Edition Master Chief helmet on a Chiyo-chan's dad plushie, and waltz around with it.



What have I done....

Parokki in RRR3 confirmed...



Rubang B and Parokki you just inspired me to show my true self...

I used to love Joystiq, but they are too over run with douchebags. I find a much more mature conversation here then at either joystiq or kotaku.



So what do you win if your prefered console sells more than another?

Ok, here goes...

 Parokki, that is so full of awesome. Please never leave us for Joystiq!

@sieanr, Oh yeah I forgot about that article. What a fucking jackass Cole was, arguing that the console that loses its manufacturer the most money is the greatest value to the consumer? I'd like him to explain that to the countless retirement homes picking up Wiis so they can stay active and social, or to everybody who's going to lose weight with Wii Fit, or get the Wii-exclusive gaming heaven that is Brawl. I always figured he left Joystiq because after a few million more Wii sales his head exploded. More than any Nintendo hater, he seemed like the guy who had some sort of ulcer that acted up at every Wii sale.

 Heh, I remember that article, Penny Arcade pointed out how full of FAIL it was. Then Cole posted an update where he...well said the same thing in the first article. It was the dumbest argument ever. I mean, most products are sold at a profit, why shouldn't consoles be? lol



There is no such thing as a console war. This is the first step to game design.

Welcome to the awesome club, elgefe02.

All right, Parokki, we're starting a revolution. Next up everybody will replace their avatars with real photos of their most embarassing nerd moments. Come on people, this is VGChartz, a web site for staring at charts and graphs comparing video game sales. We must wear our nerdiness with pride!

As soon as I have time I'm going to upload all my nerdiest game-related pix into a photo album on here, to go alongside my moustache album.
