4 is Super Double Dragon right? Yeah that one is not as good as 3.

3 was good... but I feel 4 was the series' pinnacle.

....what an absolute shame that would be...

And nothing of value was lost.

Shorrrruken!!!

You absolutely can be healthy and obese.

I'm 6'5 and being anything over 230 is obese for me. I was in great shape, lean and muscular, and i weighed 235.

I was technically obese.

Obesity is considered an excessive amount of body fat - not muscle. Muscle mass and body fat are 2 different types of weight. Muscle mass, within reason (and aquired naturally and not through steroid use) is healthy because it strengthens your frame and actually makes your body more resilient as well as making it easier for organs such as your heart to do their job as easily as possible.

Excessive body fat does nothing but put extra strain on your body. Having too low of a body fat index isn't good either, but generally speaking, the less of it you have the easier it is on your frame and organs and the lower your risk for things like heart disease, diabetes, etc.

Of course not. That's pretty stupid.

Why?? It's getting rave reviews.

5 was trash, yes, but this is going to be a return to form.

Sandalorn posted...

I love how pete talks smack about the board and how it should be closed but is absolutely addicted to it and posting more than 80%+ of other people in this thread. He is literally mocking the same thing that he himself is doing.

So all those things he said and the mockery is simply an Autobiography. What a waste of a day.

I'm just killing time until my SF6 pre-order unlocks.

So I'm guessing you are going to have to go on a marking spree when all the posts start coming out about it being "woke" because the female fighters aren't showing enough skin and/or T&A.

WTF are you even talking about? Cammy's legacy costume is unlockable.

Kim_Kusanagi posted...

That your logic is idiotic?

Did you pre-order Street Fighter 6?

Kim_Kusanagi posted...

Then let's get rid of all special interest, social and regional boards.

You're not very sharp are you?

Strictly gaming talk on a site about... wait for it.... gaming (?!?!?).

... think you might be on to something there...

Since we're forced to set up shop here, I'm requesting my fellow 261 refugees (and anyone else who wants to discuss politics) make liberal use the politics tag so save us the chore of wading through a sea of inanity to find topics of interest.

Street Fighter 6 is out in just a few more hours!!!!

I don't understand why all these angry people don't just go to the HumbleNovice subreddit if they're so unhappy that they can't fight with eachother about politics on here anymore.

We're here to talk about gaming, folks. Like... Street Fighter 6 is out in a few hours.

Rage for the machine!

In reality we know the deal, right wingers launched a campaign to cancel a board where they constantly lost in fair discussion on the ideological front due to their ideas being terrible and having only minor advantages over the left.

Uta has already debunked this (frankly, ridiculous) conspiracy theory.

The site is about gaming, my guy. Gaming... not screaming into the abyss about politics.

And yet the powers that be seemingly share my point of view.

If you guys wanna argue and fight with eachother all the time then maybe go to that HumbleNovice person's subreddit and do it there.

Torgo posted...

Interesting I have you tagged, and it's along a very political line... specifically for something fairly right wing.

So it's not like you haven't dabbled in putting your political opinions out there.

Ummm... what?

Oh you're that guy from the FF7R board, right? LOL

CSCA33 posted...

I only like PlayStation, so they should erase the XBOX boards, too!!

Well no... XBOX is gaming too.

I have PS5 and Series X but I don't have Switch. Doesn't mean there shouldn't be a Switch section.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


Well the site as a whole is about gaming and associated hardware.

I'm not necessarily talking about politics specifically... TV shows and the like can all go too IMO. Should just be about GAMING.

CSCA33 posted...

Why are any of the boards here? Common interests.

261 was established and filled a role. That it existed and thrived for so long has already answered your question.

Again, it would seem the role it was filling has been deemed unimportant in the grand scheme of things with respect to what the site is actually supposed to be.

I play games to turn the world off and forget about all this shit. If I want to be angry all the time, I'll go to a political site. Gaming is supposed to be fun.

CSCA33 posted...

The real question is, why not? 261 clearly filled a role here and helped keep discussions contained to that board.

Well clearly the powers that be lean towards my point of view... hence why all these divisive boards are disappearing.

No, you gave what you thought was a perfectly good explanation of why (game) boards are logical on this site. But they aren't. Not with the name as it is, if we are taking it literally. Like I said, deal with boards in general or deal with the walkthroughs/Q&A sections, with no in-between.

Also - why would politics need to be on a gaming site?

Can you provide an answer on that?

Nope.

Look back through the thread. I'm not the only one who's made that statement.

WTGHookshot posted...

Sorozone is correct. If we are taking the name of the site literally like you are doing by focusing purely on the "Game" portion, then the latter portion ("FAQs") means the boards should be deleted. There should be no "fall back on" like you are suggesting. It's either a FAQ with the walkthroughs and Q&A sections or nothing at all. Your choice pete.

No, I've given Sorozone a perfectly good explanation of why (game) boards are logical on this site.

In contrast, nobody can give me an equally good explanation about why there needs to be a political board (or any other non-gaming related board for that matter) on a site that's about GAMING. All I'm reading are people moaning about conspiracies hatched on seedy little back-alley subreddits about people corrupting the mods and admins to the "far-right" or whatever.

Sorozone posted...

The QandA covers the FAQ's part. This is GameFAQS, not GameBOARDS. Close all forums.

Yes, but, again, if there's something in the FAQ that is lacking clarity then you have the board to fall back on and ask others for guidance on whatever it is you're not completely understanding.

That's why boards for games need to exist on this site. Boards for politics serve no purpose but to cause flame wars.

Strand posted...

We already have the Q&A section as a question-and-answer forum. The message boards allow for discussions beyond that.

Yes, but a FAQ can only cover so much... that's where the boards come in.

Uta posted...

a FAQ is short for Frequently Asked Questions. So no? Why would the boards be closed?

This.

My point exactly.

Strand posted...

It's called GameFAQs, so should boards be closed?

Well, no... FAQs need to be discussed and so there should be boards to do so (in regards to games, of course).

We don't need boards where people moan endlessly about Donald J. and whoever else. We just need boards for vidjagame discussion.

gatsbyy posted...

Have you looked at many game pages on this site? Most have zero posts or less then a page. You would think the latest Super Mega Baseball game which is cross platform would have lots of posts in their game specific forum. Nope, just one. Reddit has pages full of posts about this game. Meaning this really is not a game site any more and nowhere near what it was in the 2000s where even obscure games there would be posts.

Well it's called Gamefaqs so it should be discussion about games.

videospirit posted...

That wtf are you posting on ce for? CE has almost nothing to do with games.

I gander around the site. Comes up in the suggested boards when I'm browsing for games to talk about.

SF6 comes out in a few hours. Have you tried the demo?? It's pretty sweet. I think the series has officially made a comeback... I was worried it jumped the shark after V but this is definitely looking like it's going to right all of V's wrongs.

GranolaPanic posted...

But it also has boards for talking about tv shows, music, movies, sports and religion. Why do you draw the line at politics?

TBH I'd be fine with removal of all those topics as well.

I just want games.

Solar_Crimson posted...

Then why do social boards like CE and other exist?

Well they seemingly won't for much longer if recent history is anything to go by...

GranolaPanic posted...

You understand that games have been political for decades, right? Or are you one of those people that think a game like FF7 wasnt political at all?

Then we should be discussing said plots on the appropriate board for said game.

gatsbyy posted...

I would think for gaming people flock to YouTube or Twitch to discuss games. Gamefaqs is essentially not that much different from 20 years ago except for far more ads.

Yeah, but the whole purpose of the site is to discuss vidjagames... not politics.

Aysander posted...

Curious what these shenanigans were, and if you ever even posted there outside deliberate trolling on whoever your main account is.

Infinitely more curious why conservative community boards haven't been targeted, and why THE most divisive, abusive, and toxic topic known to man -- Religion -- hasn't been targeted yet.

Curious as to why DToast and Allen has completely different responses to the sudden closure of 261 and why Allen is completely silent regarding Realpolitik.

Lots of things to be curious about.

This is GameFaqs... as in vidjagames.
Not PolitiFaqs. We don't need politics in one's Vidjagames.

I'm glad the powers that be are cleaning house. GameFaqs was once a great gaming community and it seems DToast and Allen are working towards restoring said community.

GranolaPanic posted...

Thats simply untrue. The Realpoliticks board was a pleasant place for the short time I was there.

No, I saw a few topics that descended into flame wars at the hands of a few of the handles I use to see on 261 regularly.

We don't need politics in our vidjagames. This is GameFaqs...

Many of the 261 regulars were starting up with their shenanigans on that board and so the kibosh was firmly placed on it.

Kudos to DToast! Definitely on the right track to making Gamefaqs great again!!
