Thanks, for the price tag they advertise I could buy a NEO GEO arcade cabinet.
So that's kinda what kills the brand for me.
I confessed on there that the only "Neo-Geo" items I have ever owned were those PS2 compilations. Apparently, they like those so I wasn't ridiculed.Quote:

I don't think they count as true Neo Geo items.
But I do enjoy playing NEOGEO4ALL on my DC.:D
I own a couple AES consoles, joysticks, 9 AES games, several MVS boards and 15 or so MVS carts. I even spent over $300 for one Neo Geo game.Quote:

Probably.
I love the earthbound for snes, good thing I kept it, cause I would not ever buy it now.
Unless it was in the 40-50 dollar range.
Maybe not even then.
Not unless you go all team andromeda and use it as an excuse that your opinion is right and others are wrong.Quote:

Yes, I was being a grammar nazi and it was dumb, but other people were trying to explain why it *was* proper English, so it was turning into a discussion/debate that was entirely civil. He singled me out as the problem, told me to stop talking about it, edited my final post in the thread to delete everything that I said, then issued me an official warning. Then I PMed him about it and he was a condescending jerk. I'm sorry, but who gives a crap what we're talking about? It wasn't getting personal or flamey. Baloo just didn't like that it was off-topic and (to him) pointless, so he had to come to the rescue of the forum. It's ironic that there are guys in this thread bitching about moderator abuse considering what they were doing to bring it on, while I had to put up with Baloo for trying to have an intelligent conversation with other forum members about English grammar. Like I said, it was dumb and I should have just shut up, but it really wasn't that big of a deal until he made it one. But then he posts gems like this. Which is it, guy?
Two, I have it on good authority that he likes to talk shit about a friend of mine. In case he reads this, it's Nick/Drexel923, who is an awesome, super-nice guy. The idea that anyone could have a problem with him is mind-boggling.
Of course, I'll probably get another moderator warning (or just get banned) for having dared say anything, but that's fine. I don't come here anymore. I only came to read this because we're talking about it over on NG.
I have to say that reading the first couple of pages of this thread was pure gold. It was like a meeting of forum douches who don't know how to behave. Lan Di was a constant headache on the Neo-Geo forums; that shit at the end was just the last in a big pile of straws. It's like he wasn't even there to talk about video games. Instead he would ramble on about how any woman who gets an abortion is a "slut" and a "whore" and deserves whatever happens to her.
AlecRob was a freaking disaster over there at NG, and tz101 is obviously still butt-hurt that he got banned from AtariAge (who never bans anyone) literally YEARS AGO because he would not stop preaching the word of God every chance he got. You could just about post pics of a really sweet thrift find, and he'd be telling you how blessed you were that God was looking out for you that day. He was warned repeatedly but refused to have his beliefs censored, so he was out on his ass.
Neo-Geo is absolutely not "anti-conservative". There are several long-standing members who are part of the "old tymers" crew who are staunchly conservative and vocal about it. Lan Di is trying to oversimplify the situation to make the NG moderators look like the bad guys who are oppressing his freedom of speech.
Business is about to pick up folks.
Sorry, I totally forgot about EvilEvoIX, who is apparently just another misunderstood saint who was banned from NG for no good reason.

Then explain why I got banned. I'm not a complicated man, just an outspoken one. Just tell me straight up in your opinion why Xander Crews banned me. You can't do it can you? I was tactful and respectful in being outspoken. I did not threaten, insult, troll, or bash anyone. I just commented on a quote that someone made, I made a mature observation, and when I defended myself it was treated like a fucking act of war. I was vilified and demonized because Xander Crews had an emotional breakdown like a woman on her monthly period.Quote:

I was unbanned though.
I'm a fighting game fan, which is why I picked one up. I'd also be into metal slug but I dislike the controls in that game.Quote:

It is true that I've never seen lan di post about games and systems. But at least he posts his non gaming stuff in the off topic section so it's not a big deal.
Yes you do, that's how you got banned from my windows live messenger! :rip:Quote:

Looking through some of your old posts, you said that any woman who wants to use birth control is a "whore", any woman who gets an abortion is a "whore", any man who believes in a woman's right to any of those things is "either a bleeding heart liberal, a woman or an LGBT" (your exact words), that neither birth control or abortions should be paid for by the government because "If a woman wants to be whorish then that woman better live with the responsibility by her own means and not ask for a hand out from the feds", when told that birth control pills have other possible health benefits for women, you said "Hey that's all a part of being a woman. Not my problem. I do not believe in feeling sorry for bitchy women who have a hand out demanding special treatment just because they have a vagina"...Quote:

I guess somehow its ok to post that stuff because its about the lesser gender instead of about a race of people. If you were making those same sweeping generalities about Asians or Hispanics or something, you would have been out on your ass a lot sooner. And you haven't been banned. You're just confined to the war room. Not sure why that's a problem for you, since all you seem to want to talk about is the kind of stuff that we discuss in there...
Simply put: They probably didn't like you very much.
I thought you were only relegated to the War Room... which I must say isn't as great as it could be. I used to run a forum where a similar thing happened, when a user got banned they could only post in one sub forum. But this sub-forum was also where spam bots were only allowed to post. It was an interesting experiment for sure. It was fun to see spam bots talking to each other in threads, and banned users flipping out because of it.Quote:

And by the way, the vast majority of conservatives are against abortion. So what I said about liberals, LGBT, and women is not out of line. It has merit. I have a problem with women choosing to live irresponsible promiscuous lifestyle and then in turn expect the government to clean up the mess and take care of her. And a woman (and men as well) who has sex purely for pleasure and personal gain is a WHORE. Taking birth control pills regularly to support a promiscuous lifestyle is fine as long as tax payers don't fit the bill. . Have you looked up the definition of whore?
Here let me do it for you;
whore [hawr, hohr or, often, hoor] Show IPA noun,
verb, whored, whor·ing.
noun
1.
a woman who engages in promiscuous sexual
intercourse, usually for money; prostitute; harlot;
strumpet.
And bitchy;
bitch·y [bich-ee] Show IPA
adjective, bitch·i·er, bitch·i·est. Slang.
characteristic of a bitch; spiteful; malicious.
So my description of women who demand government assistance to support their promiscuous lifestyle is accurate. Now a married woman who is financially responsible and takes birth control pills that her and her husband pay for is just fine. She is not a whore. She is a responsible woman.Anyone who is irrepressibly sexually active is a whore in my book, male or female. And BTW, the words bitchy and whore is not a slur as long as you use it in context of what a whore is. It may not be politically correct, but I'm not a politically correct person. And Xander Crews banned or "exiled" me to the war room and he never explained to me what my violation was. He just blew up and had a melt down after I started to defend myself.
And lastly all my political post are always in the off topic sections. I never trolled or flamed anyone or any topic not related the subject matter of my replies/posts.
Careful Lan Di, Neo-Geo.com people don't respond well to logical arguments.
Sorry dude, but my point stands. Your posts have an obvious undertone of anger when talking about women' issues. Again, this isn't about you disagreeing with abortion or birth control, it's the way you talk about it. And that's why you got banned. You dug your own grave over there, and they were just waiting for you to give them an excuse to start throwing the dirt on top of you. Again, longstanding members like lagduf and Galfordo are VERY outspoken conservatives/constitutionalists, and they get along over there just fine. So maybe the problem isn't that people don't like your politics but rather that they don't like you because of the way you conduct yourself.
BTW, as an example, posting an opinion of African American culture, but using the n-word instead of calling them "African American" or "black" would not be justified by my then posting the Webster's definition of the n-word. You choose your words for a reason. You could just as easily say "I don't want to pay for a woman's choice to be promiscuous" but you don't. You call them a whore, and you do it for a reason. The word has a connotation to it, so don't play dumb. And don't hide behind a dictionary.
Ha, boy is that the truth.Quote:

Lan di: Guess I just read different game threads. Still my point was I've never seen you post anything crazy here. I read some of the xander crews vs. lan di stuff on neo-geo. Lan di was the one acting normal xander seemed to me like the one who was out of line.
Repped.Quote:

The anger is towards corrupt government, not women in general. If you cannot grasp that fact then you are truly lost. And do not accuse me of playing dumb. Your main goal in this thread is to discredit, demonize, and villainize me. Just like Xander and countless others.Quote:

You are a classic shoe shine boy. Go run back to Xander Crews and shine his shoes. Remember, I never mentioned you in this thread. You are the one who came to this thread spreading seeds of deceit. So dont blame me for returning fire. Go back to neo-geo.com and serve Xander Crews like the obedient lackey that you truly are.
EDIT: You know what? I'm done. Lan, your just another one of these people who has extreme views and feels the need to tell everyone about it. Then when you get called out on it, you immediately switch into victim mode and complain that you're being censored by liberals. It's a common pathology, and tz101 (who was also crying in this thread) is the exact same way. You want people (like whores who want abortions) to live with the consequences of their actions? Then live with the consequences of yours. You pissed people off at NG and got banned. Man up and get the fuck over it instead of creating a pity-party thread like this so that you can cry about it. It makes you look pathetic. Bye.
EDIT 2: Thanks for giving me some new sig material for NG.
I don't know why but I found this statement pretty funny.Quote:

I was never given a reason why my account there was banned, but the last PM I sent to Al was questioning why a thread had mysteriously and suddenly disappeared that was dealing with Atari/Infogrames sending cease and desist letters to web sites using the 'Atari' name. I inquired why Atari Age was allowed to continue using the name, and next thing you know my account was banned. So, from everything I can detect, I hit a little too close to home for Mr. Yarusso and he decided to ban me in his own moment of butt-hurt. Next time, get a clue before making groundless comments, jibbajaba/chris. Go back over to Atari Age where trolls like you are more welcome.Quote:

There is no such thing.Quote:
"too much" sex
Now I would understand how not enough sex leads to the attitude of most of these posts.
Sex cures most problems by making a few of its own, like children, STDs, and murder.
THE EYE!
I understand what you are saying. But like I said earlier, a man or a woman can be a whore. The traditional definition refers to women, but in reality it can apply to both genders. So its OK for Lil Wane, Jay-Z, Kanye West, and all the rest of the mainstream rappers to use the word whore? Don't tell me, they own that word amongst others. I'm using it in the proper context. They use it to make millions of dollars while women flock to their concerts and worship them like gods. Oh the hypocrisy.Quote:
