this was true not even two years ago, but the imp zone has filled the 'casual games discussion' niche extremely well. also, games itself is a lot more chill. i call people aids-ridden retards all the time and i dont think ive even been probed for it

the tfr, gip, and yospos games threads could be rolled into imp zone or games regular and nobody would really care

Yea, for real Smythe. Get your tepid-rear end poo poo out of here before I alpha on your feeble rear end. Think you can hang with the big boys? Lol. My top-of-the-line MacBook has more value than your life you little twerp. If you try to step to my megathreads one more time I'll strip and chain your rear end up in a dog kennel, put you in a headlock, and flick your shrimpy little human being cock straight off like a ciggy ash. I'll crush your tiny, useless balls into oblivion with my premium RJ-45 crimper, all the while recording in 240 fps on my gold iPhone. You'll be begging for your pathetic so-called life and the chance to atone by getting a CS degree, while I laugh and say talk to the Siri cuz the face don't wanna hear it. Bitch.

i enjoy the current game thread but i wouldn't mind a computers only rule and/or even focusing more on game development as a technical exercise and career (lol if it's you!)

but really i kinda like the current 'video game thread where your can't use slurs' i don't care for racism myself so maybe that's just me.

if anything, kill the cat thread. at least video games are computers. cats aren't computers. i checked. they just aren't.

If anything my avatar proves my point. The friend of the family word would not be allowed in a Games subforum whatsoever before, let alone some dude's avatar.

idk tho, one one hand i like being able to post about videojames in the people named james forum (every 1000 pages or so lol), but on the other hand there is a hell of a lot of unironic wow/dota/cardgame/anime/etc chat which is p. indefensible

Oh, you're one of those people. They've got several subforums on the website for people afraid of words they do not like and those who might find them funny. You should check out Ask/Tell, it's good poo poo.

lmao has this really turned into another "bitch about IZ" thread?

i dont think people saying "the people posting about games should post in the funy game forum" is bitching about it

it should be moved to blimp zone or maybe it should be pc games only (kinda like pics thread is now just computer pics). its probably the most circle jerky thread in an already very circke jerky forum though so idk

smythe plz get in here and fire up the probe machine, ugh

close the games thread and if someone wants a games thread its gotta be tech oriented, make it about game dev or weird console hardware stuff (where's that dude who's entire life is dedicated to making RGB NES's or whatever)

How bout a "gaming hardware" megathread so we can laugh at idiots who buy KILLER™ NICs and razer hardware so we can sperg out on benchmarks and performance statistics, then a "gaming software" megathread that we can use to laugh at people who think openGL will actually take off and argue that linux 2015 desktop gaming is superior because the money saved on the OS can go towards game purchases
