So you have an alternate acc.EazyD91no, I don't. but I've had accounts before, though. I started posting on SW for the first time in march 2008.
It certainly was more fun way back in the day talking about the future exclusives that were yet to come and how they would destroy all the competition. NOw its just arguing about DLC, and which multiplat is a tiny bit better..
At least then we could get a decent discussion going, now the majority of threads are from level 1 trolls bashing games graphics, is that your idea of fun? getting your magnifying glass out and examining texture quality?Those were the darkdays of system wars when wii60was teh in thing..... but we allknew it wouldn't last long. The rise of the TREY becomingthe supremeconsole has sent dem supporters runnin'. Of course it isn't fun for them anymore.

man those days were fun...just look for the wii60 unions bashing the trey as if it killed their dogs and you can find a lot of "non biased" people being leaders of that unions lol, predicting the death of sony but it was fun to see that, just it is funnier to see the state of those unionsThose were the darkdays of system wars when wii60was teh in thing..... but we allknew it wouldn't last long.

if you thought it was good like a year or two ago.. that's nothing, i've been here since like 99 or 2000.. now THOSE were the days.VideoGameGuy
I think System wars didn't even begin until 2001. Gamespot couldn't have been that great without it.
Those were the days of GhostMLD, saolin and PS_John, it was better then. Today's fanboys have no imagination.Floppy_JimPfft. Those fellows are nothing compared to twinblade, yo_foo, and the old ginger_divid. Now those guys really knew how to stir things up.
This, i take it the tc is a lemming? pre 2008 this place was crawling with annoying lemmings... urrgh it was a horrible time for system wars.Those were the darkdays of system wars when wii60was teh in thing..... but we allknew it wouldn't last long.

End of last gen till around the begnning of this was the golden era 2004-2006. TBH things really started going up the **** when Zelda:TP was reviewed and then the whole Jeff fisasco marked the end of GS pretty much. Since then, the whole site just degraded (not talking about the forums only).
The place became alot more regulated and fun was taking out (SW bets). To add to on top of that, good long time posters such as Blackbond and Dream-Vision got banned.
But yeah, SW has gotten worse but i actually think its improved from late last year to early this year.

Not only that, since Jeff left, a huge chunk of the population left. Back then, you could refresh System Wars and see a dozen new posts. But now, you have to wait a few seconds before somebody posts something.End of last gen till around the begnning of this was the golden era 2004-2006.

[QUOTE="Nike_Air"]This, i take it the tc is a lemming? pre 2008 this place was crawling with annoying lemmings... urrgh it was a horrible time for system wars. More like from 2007-2008. 2005-2006 was a frying pan for Lemmings. Everybody teased them by the 360 not being next-gen due to very underwhelming graphics for the launch games, and they couldn't defend themselves because games like Gears and Halo 3 were months and years away.Those were the darkdays of system wars when wii60was teh in thing..... but we allknew it wouldn't last long.

Like CaseyWegner and Soulreavercross.Willy105Soul is still around. Heck, she hosts Pokemon tournaments on the DS board.
Soul is still around. Heck, she hosts Pokemon tournaments on the DS board. Casey left? Really? I thought it was weird that he didnt post anymore. Figured he just took a hiatus and was coming back. And I didnt know Soulreavercross was a girl. Neither that DreamVisions and Blackbond were banned. No wonder this place sucks now.[QUOTE="Willy105"] Like CaseyWegner and Soulreavercross.nintendofreak_2

The week before the 360 launched was absolutely horrendous. And it wasn't just here, it was all over the internet. People often wonder why Sony fanboys get so much grief now, that is why. And it was hilarious to watch it blow up in their face.

What did they do to the cartoon network? Jesus, does reality TV have to screw up every frickkin TV channel? I'm so glad I don't have cable.Stop your blubbering and reminiscing. If you want to see real failure click here http://www.cartoonnetwork.com/tv_shows/survivethis/.

Casey is still here, he just doesn't post any more cos a certain group of posters made it unpleasant for him. To people who said SW was overrun with lemmings, you should have been here last gen, or the start of this one, it was a cow pasture, when the PS3 games started flopping they all left and the lemmings were in the ascendancy for about a year. SW is no where as busy now nor as fun, same topics being rehashed. In addition to the other posters Keywii could guarantee a 100 post thread in 10 minutes whenever he posted lol

Im also suprised by this since people think it was lemmings destroying the cows from the beginning. And i remember the 360 launch, despite 360 having the best launch in the end, it was DESTROYED by cows. Games were compared to last gen among other things, heck i even remember alot of people saying the 360 was equal to or would only be a bit more powerful than the Wii.

There were actual threads comparing Zelda TP and Kameo's graphics. Zelda won, believe it or not.What did they do to the cartoon network? Jesus, does reality TV have to screw up every frickkin TV channel? I'm so glad I don't have cable. Some new executive got promoted to president of Cartoon Network last year, and wanted to change the network into a more casual network, but for kids. They changed the name from Cartoon Network to CN, and took advantage that the kids didn't know what CN stood for that they started showing LIVE ACTION shows on the channel. As a fan of the medium, I am insulted. TV.com (Gamespot, but for TV instead of games) even published an article about it.[QUOTE="Burning-Sludge"]

I remember the majority of people saying, Kameo looked very bland and didnt have a unique art. It was all technical. As fanboyish as it was, i was also agreeing :cry: despite having a 360 and loving Kameo. My love for zelda blinds me and surpasses all else.
Im sure your like that with a game.
