In several topics, I see people that mention foliage when talking about graphics kings and whatnot, and then there's often several people that laugh. Yet, when I see it I get the feeling I'm missing out on some running joke or something.

Can someone explain the punchline or what's so funny about about Foliage? What's the story?

Thanks

Actually no. What actually happened was Saolin134 (or some arrangement of thos numbers) came onto the board with his pro 360 attitude and his obssessively annoying Fable obseession. He kept comparing the foiliage of Fable 2 and its "120,000" leaves that only were rivaled by Crysis and how amazing the game was. It was amazing but then he got ban. Of course he has had several equally annoying but progresssively less entertaining alt accounts.

The good old days of TheSeekar, lololol. He'd insist that Alan Wake is the foliage king in EVERY THREAD, and that meme with a judge or sumthin was started being used in memory of him when he was banned.

I thought Obamanian, or Obamian or whatever was a pretty damn funny time for him.

Didn't you know? Foliage is sacred these days since it comes so few and far between. 99% of games this gen are nothing but grey or brown and there is no lovely green foliage to be seen. Everybody got so sick of it, so now only games with foliage are worth our time and only they matter. Therefore, before hyping ANY game around here, one must ask

He was still in his prime under that alt I must admit :P

This.

Saolin and his X thousand individually rendered leaves only on the 360. :lol:

Also he hated linear design. These characteristics among some others give him up when he uses his alt accounts.

No it's still an older one. I believe theseeker was his second or third account. Obamanian was the other "famous" one that he had. I'm sure he started the foliage thing while being Saolin and with the leaves of Fable 2.

Foliage posts of old definitely need to go in the time capsule, if only to confuse future video game historians and the lulz

I liked how he claimed Alan Wake didn't get high scores in graphics because Crysis 2 set the standard... I tried to contest because Crysis 2 wasn't released... but no...
