New Facebook group for TRUE fans of PCE and TG16!!

[Mathius]

Wow! Where to begin. Either he's a troll or is confusing the SuperGrafx with something else.

" I have a couple friends who can vouch that I owned everything people claim never existed."

^^That's crazy on so many levels.

[jlued686]

Silly rabbit, everybody knows "true" fans of PCE and TG16 don't go near Facebook.

What is this face-space thing you are all referring to?

[JoshTurboTrollX]

Can someone explain the benefit of facebook groups about video games vs. BB forums?

Diluting the fan base? The thrill of being an admin? The confusion of matching real names to handles? Integrating strangers who happen to like video games into one's friends and social networks? Extra drama? Facebook's invasive monitoring and advertising? The short-term memory of no subforums, no topics, no word search, and having to scrolling down through miles of posts to find a thread from one week ago? I don't get it.

Ditto.

There truly are no advantages of being in a FB video game group instead of a video game forum.  The Turbografx group ran by Chris seems to be a cesspool of guys trying to sell crap for high prices and arguments.  (Totally different than PCFX right?)  ;)

However...

I think personally I joined up with a couple of these(Retro gaming/thrift/sales) groups on facebook purely because A-I have a FB account, and need a reason to use it (other than sharing happenings with my friends and family with extended friends and family). and B-It's a good way to branch out and introduce others to 'teh true OBEY forums' here as I've met a few Turbo guys that have never heard of this site.

Our 'one and only OBEY' group grew so fast initially because many of the midwesterner peeps on this very forum met in person at VGS and MGC and have made it a point to get together 3~4 times a year since we all live relatively close (Beemer in heart and Tats via skype) and have so many similar interests on top of all getting along.  Once other Turbo heads joined up, the conversations just continued to grow.

I've also joined a group on instagram after meeting a guy locally through a craigslist trade.  He knows what I have on my wish list and I know what he's into and we can message each other if we find stuff around locally.  He found a few things that I was interested in just a week ago.  It's kind of neat really.

I have no issues with joining social networking sites' VG groups to branch out beyond just being in VG forums, but I wouldn't want a fb group to replace what we have here.

so where is the real damn page?

Dont you have forumites to work on?

[jeffhlewis]

The FB group is no replacement for PCEFX by any stretch but it's fun to read the convos during periodic breaks during the day.

There's also the face-to-a-name factor for folks that I haven't met in person yet.

Though I still imagine Nando being an African tour guide.

Good god this is a gold mine of epic proportions!!! Everything below is verbatim copy/paste:

[Picture of his kid niece with a shotgun]
"we need more of this let those china mf come over here to invade we will give all out kids weapons hahaha"

[Picture of his 6 or 7 year-old nephew with an assault rifle]
"this is what i am talkin about this is a real gun got it for x mas lol i will make sure he comes and stay with his uncle he can take care of all the issues in se . i wish he would have been here when those people rolled up in the house with guns .lol"

[Photo of him and his GF outside of a Marshall's Dept Store in the middle of nowhere]
His Shirt: "KING OF THE CITY" (Rocawear)
Her Shirt: "PARTY ROCK BITCH"

[Photo of ex-GF and/or sister carving a pumpkin next to 2 young children]
Her: " I look huge, take this off"
Him: "no you dont plust you got some nice tits man LUNCH!!! LOL"

[Photo of Him kissing his girlfriend, who is African American, and using a lovely analogy]
'age aint nuthin but a number color is nothing but color at the end of the day we all plop our ass on the toilet and shyt the same way lol"

[Photo of the saddest, nastiest run-down apartment with a miniature entertainment "center"]
"$7000 k worth the speakers are 3500 of it the sub not shown 1200 and thats a 3d tv and a thx certified av amp"

He's from my home state, and based on where he lives, none of this is surprising.

[PCEngineHell]

Is it just me or is his "3D" lcd only like 18 inchs? It looks like a desktop monitor, not something for living room viewing.

[jeffhlewis]

I want to say it's 24". It does look nice up close, but it definitely ain't a showpiece. And the "3D" is negligible.

I'm kicking myself though because I think they were on clearance online at one point for like $50 a pop.

[roflmao]

You mean $50k... fuck, his speakers were $7000k, why would someone with a 7 million dollar home theater use anything less than a $50,000 24" 3dtv?

But in my defense, it's your own fault for starting something that we all enjoy.

I got the ban-hammer today for posting a link to another turbografx fb page on this fb fan 'group'.

/7nch.png

Then soon after I got blocked from one of the admins of the group after this conversation...

Comically, I am entertained by his comment about "you people". 

For any other facebookers, I'd check out a new fun group over at - facebook.com/groups/TurbografxPCEngine for keeping the conversations going...

[NecroPhile]

Heh, that guy is as worthless and arrogant as Steve McTableChair.

"Official" TG-16 group?  According to who exactly?

[JoshTurboTrollX]

Well, apparently in Aaron Lambert's eyes he owns the rights to the Turbografx Fan Group, the Turbografx logo, the Turbografx slogans so it HAS to be "official".  Also that same post deleting, opinion crushing, ban-happy group moderator has a sale thread here trying to peddle his T-shirts...

You still don't get it. It's not a group about Turbo/PCE, it's a group about him. If you're not a fan of his or are looking to steer attention away from him, then you really don't belong there.

That's him, eh?  I'm glad I passed on the shirt then.

[bob]

And he better agree with everything on this forum, or else he's a goner.

Kind of funny, I see they've once again changed the "RULES" part of the "About" section-

DONUT DISAGREE WIHT US!!!  OR ESLE!!!

[CrackTiger]

What kind of a fool puts "Official" in the title of anything unofficial if the whole thing isn't just a joke?

[Nando]

THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!!! 

[bob]

If he wants to govern so strictly, he should just set up 6 accounts under his own name, have them all join the group and converse with himself.  That way, nobody will disagree with him or have a different opinion on anything.

Kind of reminds me of Kramer..."why don't you just tell me what movie you want see"

[Opethian]

did anyone tell this guy you cant make a living selling tshirts to a closed community lol

[Xak]

im still on there  having a great time under my real name n pic

I posted on TubeYou, but I had to copy-n-paste for the bastards on the board here:

"This is the best thing you have done. Absolutely hilarious. I sneezed coffee out of my nose just now. Then I watched it again. Still hilarious."

I am still sniffling coffee as I type this, now, 2-3 minutes after-da-fact.

I had a similar reaction. Brilliant!

[roflmao]

They gave me the ban hammer yesterday as well.  My commentary (which I thought was pretty civil, though I didn't think to take screenshots)  was "Can't we all get along?"

NO.

BAN.

lulz.   

[NightWolve]

"Can't we all get along?"

Ha, that's all it took ?? Talk about thin-skinned...

Honestly, I've never seen such a successful mass exodus like this!! That's some good sticking together. And so boom, he knocked out Armando last I take it from his little "bye bye" message, eh ? That group is gonna be pretty lonely in a few weeks I'd wager. Heh.

Lol, it is already pretty lonely right now. But that's just how they wanted it to be.

FIXED! You're Welcome.

"funny how all these guys* are friends with Cyrill hmm"

*TurboGrafx-16/PC Engine enthusiasts.


It's not a joke, they will literally be reduced to a few buddies who don't know anything about Turbo/PCE games, talking about non -Turbo/PCE stuff or simply name dropping titles and not having much else to say about them.

Meanwhile real Turbo/PCE discussions will still be going strong in places like this.
