GBAtemp.net acquired by CNET Networks
First I would like to congratulate all the hardwork done by the staff and people behind the scene who made GBATemp up and running for many years. With the onboard of CNET Networks, does it mean we'll have "lose" the wiki site? It's a sensitive issue. All the hardwork and contributions by members of the forum, will it be archived and placed elsewhere?

*sigh*

Nicely done indeed. I was contemplating the absurdity of the matter and was reminded of the upcoming date...

This may be the only website that I visit that has an April Fool's event. I commend your efforts.

No it's a good joke. But maybe just a LITTLE farfetched.

I mean, cmon...CNET...one of the biggest media companies around...owning a site devoted to the Nintendo DS ROM / Wii ISO release scene? Haha...

To avoid the pursuit of legal action from C|NET, I assume.

It doesn't matter, Internet Lawyer.

It still says C GBATemp.net. If GBATemp has been bought, so has it's assets, intellectual property, etc.

Theres a 1/11881376 chance that all the new staff members first letterof their name can be arranged as april coincidentally. Their names are Ryan, Adam, Liam, Peter and Ian or Adam, peter, Ryan, Iran, and Liam.

Drop the joke,(If it is a joke).

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    You should update the 360 to newest dash before RGHing it yes. But not a big deal if you don't, you can install new dash/avatar updates after. It's just easier to do it auto online before, instead manual offline after.

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa I wanted to ask you about your experience with seeing south park. Most of the people a bit younger like my younger brother and cousins that are a few younger than me that saw kids found south park funny because of the curse words, kids at school, that seemed like liking the show on a very basic level.

    I could not quite have a in depth discussion of the show.

    How was it for you? As an adult. What did you find the most interesting part about it. Did you relate to the parents of the kids and their situations. Was it satires, the commentary on society. The references on celebrities' and pop culture.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I remember seeing the very first episode back in the day, and have watched every episode since. I used to set my VCR to record them even, shows how long ago.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just like any comedies really, and cartoons have always been a favorite of mine. Family guy, American Dad, Futurama, Cleveland Show, Simpsons - I like them all.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    South Park is great cause they always touch on relavent issues going on today, and make something funny out of it.
    +3
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa were you always up to date on the current events and issues of the time or were there issues that you first found out thru south park
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Most of the time yea I knew, I watch and read the news regularly, but sometimes the Hollywood BS stuff, like concerning actors slip by me. I don't follow most Hollywood BS (example: the Kardasians)

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa there were relevant issues before south park was made, that's why i think a south park prequel/spinoff would be great. Randy and his friends in their child hood
    +1
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea, like them running in high school together, getting into stuff, and how they got hitched and had kids. And how the town of South Park was back then compared to now. That would be cool to see.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @salazarcosplay if they made a prequel, it would still be about current issues, cause it doesn't make sense to make it about stuff that happened 30 years ago that nobody cares about anymore
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's too late
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the older south park episodes about particular issues usually age poorly since the topic is no longer relevant
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    an exception is giant douche vs turd sandwich, that's always relevant :P
