The poor souls.

Peanut · 05-30-2003, 02:50 AM

I took a hike over to the GameFaqs.com msg boards today and was extremely sad at the state of the TMNT game msg board. The poor souls were listing off characters they knew. One fellow was saying he knew everything about the TMNT then never even put the Utroms, Fugitoid, or even Casey Jones in his list, which consisted mostly of a mix of some of the terrible action figures released and a few characters from the old cartoon. I attempted to make contact but they were too far gone. They spoke of how Shredder was one of the greatest villians created and when I added it was true even though the TMNT only ever fought the real Shredder once they jumped all over me like a pack of rabid animals. They scolded me and called me a troll when I told them that all TMNT originally had red masks. I couldn't bare to see these poor souls suffer any longer, so I told them of a place called thetechnodrome.com. I told them we would educate them on the ways of the turtle, but they marked me for trolling/spaming and had my post deleted. What has our TMNT world come to? I shall shed a tear every night when I go to sleep...thinking of those poor lost souls.

I have been to those boards before, like 99% of everyone there is stupid.

**Karpo_007** · 05-30-2003, 08:34 AM

Yeah, TMNT might have been most popular independent comic, but still it is the mass marketed cartoon that most people know. One good reason might be that not much Mirage was taken outside US. And the original Mirage fans who were teenagers then are probably a rare sight on TMNT forums.

*That Matt Guy* · 05-30-2003, 08:43 AM

The only people on those boards are probably 14 year old nerds who worship anime. I wouldn't even want to look at those boards, much less post on them.

GameFAQs' message boards are hilarious.

"i was reading a gmr when i first heard about the game and they also said there MIGHT be a new movie anyone else heard anything"

"Wow I cannot wait to play this game now the only question is, can I confine all of my topics to one post? No I am just too excited I LOVE MY ENTHUSIASM! Rock On TMNT! ^^"

"i miss Krang. I Hope he/she/it's in the game(And cartoon) so we can see the return of the talking brain with the cybernestic body he was one of my favorite all tie bad guys in any cartoon/comic"

"i HOPE THEY HAVE NINJA RAP IN THIS GAME(capsGo ninja go ninja go, go ninja go ninja go, go,go,go,go, Ninja Ninja Rap NInja Ninja Rap,Go ninja go ninja go, go ninja go ninja go, go,go,go,go, !!!"

Lovely.

**Karpo_007** · 05-30-2003, 09:17 AM

Seems to me that the quality of discussion is a little bit higher here...

No, that's pretty much how THESE boards are.

~~Reznorite420~~ · 05-30-2003, 10:02 AM

Come on, Matt; no need to bee too harsh about us

Anyway, what I say we should ALL do is sign up over at those forums and either "spam" or "troll" as they say about how TMNT really is and then see what their reaction is.

Mike, I think you would've done a better job of convincing them if you'd have done what I do all the time and go into uber-long lecture posts. THAT'LL show 'em!

Peanut · 05-30-2003, 10:21 AM

It's what I should have done. I was just too afraid. They were like monsters, vicious monsters, ready to attack if I told them one shred of truth.

**Karpo_007** · 05-30-2003, 10:26 AM

Yes, they like living in a lie, like some people in Matrix...

Peanut · 05-30-2003, 11:23 AM

I'm afraid to go back to that board. They worship one of the posters there because he knew the names of all the Mutanimals. I'm afraid to return not just because of their vicious flaming ways but also because they spell worse than a 2 year old.

**GK Punk** · 05-30-2003, 11:25 AM

And they all speak 1337.. like a serious language.. not as a joke (Like we do here)

**HorseTechie** · 05-30-2003, 12:52 PM

*lol* The ingnorance of the stupid ones!

Like when I was at a comic con, advertising all the Turtley goodness that is and was to come, I had to correct sooooo many people on:

1. Why is Leo's mask red? (upon seeing the statue of him)
2. That the Dreamwave poster was for a COMIC, not a new movie.
3. Are those really TMNT movie props?
4. Why is Kevin posing in a picture with two Leonardo's? (they don't know who Venus is)

What's 1337?

**GK Punk** · 05-30-2003, 01:21 PM

l337, 1337, leet, however you want to spell it, it's that hacker language that me Nicko and Michaelangelo constantly use when we are making fun of eachother. like (d00d stpo m3ss1ng ar0nd!! ololololol111!11!11 which would translate in to "Dude, stop messing around lol!)

*Tetsu Deinonychus* · 05-30-2003, 01:33 PM

And they take that seriously?! How incredibly dorky!

**GK Punk** · 05-30-2003, 01:34 PM

Yeah it's really sad actually
