Spoilers: Why the GameFaqs forums are terrible

I'm mildly annoyed at the moment.

I recently stumbled upon this bizarre little website: http://www.geass-game.jp/

I'd been watching the show on Adult Swim, and since I enjoy weird stuff, I figured I'd look up some info on this crazy ass game in a language I'd understand. I went to GameFaqs.

Honestly, I was asking for it, but I went into a seemingly innocent thread only to have some inconsiderate jackass spoil one of the show's important plot elements that happened to involve one of my favorite characters. Goddammit GameFaqs.

This wasn't as bad as the time I watched Spaceballs with the kid who spoiled all the jokes, but is it really too much trouble to watch what the hell you type on the internet?

I want to hear how the good people of NSG dealt with similar situations. Or you can call me a nerd, that works too.

... so let me get this straight. you went to a forum to discuss a game baised on a show and you are upset because it had spoilers?

me, I would just suck it up and not repeat that procedure again.

The GameFAQs forums have never been good. There isn't really a good reason to go there except to troll, and even that is just disappointing.

In hindsight, it was a pretty stupid move, but I'm usually very good about wading knee deep through spoilers and not encountering any of them. That's what bugs me; the spoilers were pretty irrelevant to the topic of the thread I clicked on.

Am I the only one who read that as Gamefags?

No, that's probably the most common nickname out there. Hell, the ED article is the third result...

Of course games have plots! Final Fantasy VII was a masterpiece, for instance! :tongue:

Despite morons like Uwe Boll, some games do have plots.

Wow. Apparently there are now two copies of this thread, one of which was fused with the now-locked clown porn thread. The hell's going on?

e: Never mind.
