Is This Guy Serious?

Post by BurningDoom »

So I was just at Gamespot and someone had a question about a disc-read error on his Gamecube. And this was an honest-to-God response to the guy's question:
bang it on the ground a few times. it fixed mine when it thought it was opened
Seriously?

Unlikely. A lot of people over there (Gamefaqs, it's just integrated into Gamespot) think they're funny/epic trolls/etc.

Racketboy has better articles on retro stuff and a better message board. But when Racketboy becomes as complete as Gamespot, then I'll stop going.

I've never degraded myself with that cesspit. Same with the GameFAQs forums.

I've only gone to Game Spot/GameFAQs to look up user ratings for games I've never heard of. It never occurred to me to go into the forums. I did go there once accidentally when I was looking something up on google and a search result popped up. I think I read 2-3 responses and went, "Errr....Nevermind *BACK*" :roll:
