Title: Friendship Is Here!!
Post by: starbronze21 on January 16, 2013, 04:23:26 pm
Hello everyone! Me and my buddy joined this site recently and I noticed that there was no "Friend" option on this site. Now that does not change my opinion of the site because I just think this place is awesome! :D
But i would think it would be cool if their was a friend option to make it easier to keep track of our collections and see whose is better! Because right now the only way to check out her collection is to click a link in an email she sent me. It would also be nice to just keep track of people I know on this site and maybe it would be easier to keep track of anyone i happen to meet on this site.
Anyone else think this is a good idea? :)

I could see a simple list working. But we've really wanted to try to keep away from a lot of social networking things and focus mainly on being the best video game database we can be. Of course, in the end it's all Matt's call anyway.

Well okay, I see where you're coming from. Thanks for at least looking at this. :)

Heh nice MK pic ... and a bit off topic but is that the Big Boss Man in your avatar? If so, thats epic.
I'm glad someone actually noticed!!! Yes, that is the Big Boss Man. :)
I miss the time of the WWF (Screw the WWE, it will forever be the WWF) when it had people like this. You would get ready for a 2 hour show and watch 2 hours of wrestling. Stuff like Saturday nights main event and what not. Now, its 2 hour show with 30 minutes of wrestling and 90 minutes of bullshit drama and overly fake crap. All the fake junk is what caused me to start watching UFC over it.

Hehe, I was barely around for most of the WWF, but I was born in time for the Attitude Era. :) Yes I agree with you WWF forever!! :D
I actually looked at a lot of stuff from the WWF and it looks SO much better then the WWE stuff I watched, and you are totally right about the drama pumped WWE, it sucks, almost no "real" wrestling.
Well thank you for knowing who the Big Boss Man is, that made my day. :)

Heh I grew up during the time where Hulk Hogan beat the Iron Sheik for the title and became the most famous wrestler. Junkyard Dog, Hacksaw Jim Duggan, Koko B Ware, Andre the Giant, Jake the Snake, Million Dollar Man, Nickolai Volkov, Superfly Jimmy Snuka, Ultimate Warrior, 4 Horsemen, the Von Erichs, etc. Wrestling used to be awesome ... now its just a joke mostly. :(

Wow, you're lucky, I heard those guys were awesome. I envy you man, your wrestling is so much better. :) True it's mostly a joke now, I watch it from time to time, but I just can't get into it. :/

I love how this turned into an old school wrestling thread. I was a Little Warrior and a Hulkamaniac back in the day. It was awesome when Brutus the Barber would give someone the sleeper hold and then the Baldo Renaldo!

Hello, I don't think we need a social networking kind of thing with people posting pictures of their cats and stuff. It would be nice to be able to bookmark certain people to access their collections more easily. The compare feature is nice but then you have to remember everyone's name. Reminds me of Nintendo freind codes. :D

you could use the web browser to bookmark their page.....

I can see this option actually applying to non-social ideas as well though.... I would like to "follow" certain collectors for comparisons sake.... There are plenty of people here who I could use for measuring up my collection and also use as a reference for games I may not have heard of as well.... If there is a Shmup collector that has a title I have never seen before then I would be likely to take a look at said game if I was in the market for new shmups for example....

While this is fine for a single user home PC, there may be situations where that solution is not ideal....
Actually you create Folders with your name on it and bookmarking is a easy thing. also you can add a folder within a folder in bookmarking as well... you could also create seperate accounts on one computer soo it is still works

Sorry, my response was not specific enough.... What I meant was accessing a publicly available computer.... Let's say in a library, at work, a LAN cafe, etc.... As a general rule of thumb I just prefer not leaving behind traces of my internet pass time for nosy people to look through....

I never understood Microsoft's reasoning for BC on the 360. And the only Xbox game I want to play is Castlevania Curse of Darkness. And its not playable! >:(

That's kind of better than my case. I just wanna play Phantom Crash. Which works! Until it decides to randomly freeze in matches. No rhyme or reason. You'll never know when. But it'll always happen at a terrible moment.
