Any /v/ posters?

I'd just like to say that I judge anyone who spends their time at /v/ in a serious capacity.
The only legitimate excuse for ever visiting /v/ is for the guilty pleasure of watching the absolute worst and most abject aspects of mankind in motion.

Love going there for the lulz but also cuz they know how to have fun and there is actual good discussions from time to time. You just gotta know what thread to go to and their MGS threads are really awesome
They have lots of useful information and speculation
in my experience
the video game boards of 4chanFijiman said:
I used to browse there heavily a few years ago. Ultimately I stopped because like Delerien says, it's a really, really unpleasant place. The hivemind attitude is extremely negative, and I found after staying there so long I had become really stupidly jaded about the most inane shit.
/vg/ on the other hand is pretty good. A good place for long threads about niche genres or series. It's still don't go there often because I don't have anything to add to the discussion a lot of the time, but it's definitely one of the few "good" boards. Probably because it doesn't have its own memes and in-jokes and "flavor of the month", it's just a straight up, on topic discussion board. I also really like the habit they've got of creating guides for newcomers to the series/genre and how they're generally really helpful to people who want to get into a certain game/genre/series/whatever.

I've found that smaller forums generally have a more interesting posterbase than larger ones. Things are more familiar and I've seen more kickass discussions on smaller ones than huge forums like this.
Why, you read Fox News? Try thinking for yourself before making irrational judgments. It'd be nice to see a lot less jackassery that way.Evil Smurf said:
Lots of trolls and mean people. Sadism runs rampant. Also one of the least fertile places for feminism and video games on the internet.
I like some piece of 4chan /v/ culture better than the Escapist. For instance, it's possible to actually find Touhou fans. After getting banned from some Touhou sites, I basically have no one to talk to about my most favourite gaming franchise ever. Though I might at least be able to start a thread about Touhou on /v/ if /jp/ didn't exist and they would just re-direct me there.
Also, while there's a whole bunch of people on /v/ who are PC gaming elitists and hate jRPGs in favor of wRPGs, just like the Escapist, there's at least a pretty large subculture of them, thanks to, of course, being 4chan. 4chan is not the random board, the random board was an invasion of terrible people. 4chan is /a/. So of course a lot of /a/ culture is going to be present on /v/. /a/ has a lot of horrible crap on it though, as well. Not the least of which misogyny, racism, and a whole swath of sadism and meanness.
I personally wish I could pick and choose the best aspects of 4chan and fuse them into one board.
4chan is an "Internet Hate Machine" with some very rare occasions of genuine empathy and understanding.
A lot of places on the internet are pretty nasty and cruel. But 4chan has been very good at taking that an extra level and breeding an environment where any kind of love and understanding is expunged.

Even Fox News can be right.deathbydeath said:

I don't like /b2.0/. /v/ and /mu/ are boards that I could like in theory, but the community within them are just... not my style.
I've browsed /vg/ a couple times, but it seems like they all talk about the same five or six games. So... maybe I'll go try /vr/ sometime.

You know that there are 48(?) boards that aren't /b/, correct? And /v/. And /d/. Like most everything, the utter shit is in the minority.Evil Smurf said:
/v/ is funny and has threads about phoenix wright and virtues last reward every other day. I love it.
/a/ is loaded with misogynists, sadists, and delusional 3D haters.deathbydeath said:
/mlp/ is filled with some of the worst of the My Little Pony fandom.
/jp/ is loaded with all of the same problems as /a/
/mu/ those losers said that no one likes black metal, they said I was stupid, they said I needed to get a life.
Little did they know... black metal, IS MY LIFE
/int/ racism
/pol/ racism
