I think he was okay.
I never noticed him being overly offensive or behaving like an asshole...But then again I never paid any special attention to his posts...
And to be honest, I'd prefer any staff member to be harsh to new members instead of rolling out the red carpet for them, since 90% of them are only here to waste our time with questions they could easily answer themselves if they tried.

All I'm seeing in this topic is unnecessary drama and people who don't appreciate all the work he did for GBAtemp..THAT's behaving like assholes.
Now, I don't know what kind of drama there was behind the scenes, but it's sad that it had to go this far

I talked to Urza on AIM for a moment, he said GBAtemp.net is probably dead to him forever.

I'll miss him though, he was the only one that did a lot of homebrew news.

I didn't want this thread to turn out like it did. Honestly, I wouldn't mind if it were locked.

I kind of just wanted to remember funny moments from an over-all funny dude. He had his prick moments but don't we all?

I'm not picking sides or anything I kind of feel like this thread is contributing to negativity that doesn't really belong on the forums.

He just had them a lot more than most people.

I'm gonna have to side with PizzaPasta on this one too. Urza was a prick but he did a lot for GBAtemp, especially for the magazine staff.
He was always a prick to people but only got worse when you deserve it. Otherwise its just an annoying character trait.

Anyone else find JPH a tad bit spiteful in this thread?

D/C'd in the middle of communication between server and client.
I have no idea what I was going to write.

GBAtemp is a great forum site but sometimes it can get a bit annoying. Especially when people are only using a site as a means to figure out what flash cart they should buy and riddle us all with questions that could easily be answered by clicking "search." It's hard for us users to have to sift through millions of threads about whether or not GBA "emulation" is possible only using a Slot-1 device or why Earthbound Zero won't work in NesDS.

This is where Urza comes in.

I've only been on the forums for a few months now but in that short time I've developed a love for Urza. It's almost as if you can hear his sigh of patient, impatience from across the internets. I'm not usually a fan of flaming but in Urza's case; I'm glad he's here keeping the n00bs in check.

I talk about him to people that don't even use the forums and sometimes, I bore my girlfriend at dinner with stories of how Urza totally gave it to someone that day.


I have a lot of favorites but this is my absolute, top favorite Urza flame ever:

http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=875...t=0&start=0

It's post number 2.

Please post your favorites as well.
That is.. beautiful..

Since I saw his post I wanted to be like that.
But I can't.
Sure, I'm a douche and I hate on everyone irl, but on the internet I'm just so much nicer and calmer.
Damn decency.

Is that seriously Urza? Kewl.

My favourite Urza moment was when... I dunno, all his posts? Sure he was an ass sometimes, but he did help around.

Urza was one of my favorite members, he was always right. And he was very helpful as well, so long as you don't act like a dumbass.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    but that's a long shot

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
