Featured User Group: PRIATE and Asylum Open Mic Part One

[khaimera]

*takes kick and cries, I hope you're happy now you bully.

I was totally kidding. I'm thinking about becoming a Priate. NNIJA has forgotten its mision statement and spends most of its time celbrating Priate (which I don't understand) and headbutting each other. I'm over it.

* goes to Priate to lurk

Don't worry, we'll be happy to accept you!

BUT CAN YOU STAND THE HEAT?!

Heat I can take. Judo kicks are like my kryptonite though. I actually like Priate. The feud was fun for like a week. I do feel kind of bad that I turned a birthday celebration into a huge ordeal, but I didn't do it alone.

 

[crimson5pheonix]

Why wasn't I asked about this, I run the Asylum...

Kuliani is probably just afraid of your wicked web battling skills.

Nice first round, chaps! I can't wait to see next week's article!

[HEADING=2]Round 2[/HEADING]
[HEADING=1]FIGHT![/HEADING]

Lightning Kick!

Sorry, couldn't resist. Street Fighter is in my veins!!!

PSYCHO CRUSHA!!!!
...
Was I not supposed to do that?

What have you done?!

M. Bison, eh? I never played as him. He was my brother's character. We didn't share Street Fighter characters that well.

It was just the first one that came to mind. My personal favorite (now) is Hakan.

I was/am always Chung Li.

It makes kicking my brother's ass all the sweeter when I can do it as a girl opponent.

I haven't played the more recent Street Fighters though. We pretty much stopped after 3.

I can see why he is your new favorite.

He's very... strange.

And fun.

Now if only I was good at the game >.>

 

[TheNumber1Zero]

I saw mention of Pineapples, this pleases me.
Anywho, this was interesting, and always lovely to see your favourite group get mention.

So, yeah... Woo!

I find it hard to be good at fighting games. To many button sequences to remember. That's probably why I stopped playing them.

Street Fighter 2 and Virtua Fighter were the only ones I ever got all that good at. I actually played Virtua Fighter in an arcade. Man. Good times.

My best game is Soul Calibur 4. I hurt people in that game.

 

[Neonbob]

I actually felt bad for NeonBob...


...but only a little...

Wait what? Why?

The Asylum were too kind...they're planning something, I know it! *Hides under duvet* Aha, now you'll never find me!

But yeah, good to be featured. Now, I await Neon to give the number of that swan...
Thanks Kuliani and thanks to Hubilub for suggesting this idea and keeping it remarkably quiet.

I was actually wondering if I was getting too off topic...Curses.

Anyway! If you want the number, I want something in return. Like a gold plated frenchman. I'd do it myself, but I'm lazy.

Also, I cannot wait to see what you people had to say.

Cos you were left with so few opportunities for snarky comebacks.

ohhh. Gotcha. Well, the sympathy is much appreciated.
They made me work for my stuff.

little behind the ears, please.

Don't really get the point of this. It seems to be more of a pad on the back for some users, a good old 'why we're awesome'. Stop the glorification already.

Why is this featured? To spread the news? There's already enough of that.

I think the Escapist should feature some more quality video-game discussion rather than social groups. Feature SavingPrincess already.

There's so much wrong with the last two sentences of your post, I don't even know how to start without getting moderated. Suffice it to say I disagree very strongly with your insinuation that quality work which can be taken seriously is created by said user. No slight against the guy, it's just that his stuff is 100% opinion and not particularly well-written opinion at that. Hey, you bring something that has no bearing on this thread into this thread, that's what you open yourself up to.

What follows below has nothing to do with the fine fellow I quoted up above:

I like it when this site has a more serious gaming focus, but my irritation with this particular thread has more to do with my growing dislike for Asylum. Soup told me a while ago that all the news messages which aren't news (you know, that message you get every time ANYONE in the Asylum creates a thread) are sent because there isn't really any actual news to report. I get that. But is it really even polite to send out 10 news notifications in a DAY?!? Freaking come on. I left the news notification mail setting on in case something important came up (like an important user being banned), but I really honestly don't care if somebody made a thread. ESPECIALLY not a celebratory, "look at me I'm awesome guys" thread.

So I implore you, Asylum, please stop sending news alerts every time somebody makes a celebration thread for less than, let us say, 5,000 posts? Or even 10,000 would be good. See, those are kind of achievements (in a sad way).

If I seem grumpy today, it's probably because my last shred of humanity shriveled up sometime last night in the middle of "Frasier."

What! We are always kind. Come over here and accept your hug you big lug.

No, no, that's not a knife behind my back. It's a gun (I am American after all).

Hm... I don't know which one I like more.

On one hand Souplex hugs me all the time, which makes me feel warm and fuzzy.
On the other hand that Killing Floor game with PRIATE was fun.

Decisions decisions...

If you only knew the power of the Asylum!

BUT CAN YOU STAND THE HEAT?!

I couldn't. What is it 85, 90 in there? Who likes it that hot, except for some peoples grandmothers?

I was up all night getting you this gold plated Frenchman! *Passes Frenchman*
Now, swans number please?

God how I agree with you on the SP part. As for notifications, just turn them off, and every once in a while click on the Asylum icon and check the front page. All the notifications are posted on it, so you can't miss them even if they're old.

I post my reviews on there, which is just becuase if gives people a nice thing to read and gives me a bit more publicity. I wouldn't have to do it if people would actually post on the damn review board once in a while.

 

[Insanum]

Oh dear...Im an admin of Asylum.

Cap'n Souplex, PRIATE Spotted off the port bow! Shall i manouever into firing positions?

 

[Abedeus]

Used to be in Asylum, but found it boring. Seriously, chat was never interesting and I only got messages about people making reviews.

[sub]Also when I posted a review, nobody even bothered to look at it...[/sub]

This is the type of foe that will destroy themselves if you don't fight.
