as compared to how you normally act outside of GBAtemp
because on the internet, you can put up a face
you can be someone totally different
you can hide behind your computer screen for protection
you can create your own personality
you can make up stuff about yourself or pretend you arent something
and no one will know.
and i think its ironic that people try to change themselves online
to be funnier, to be more of a troll, to be more obnoxious, etc
because seriously
who cares?
its the cry of a lonely soul and an attention whore (which i do admit to being. so im being a hypocrite too.)
i'd rather be changing my real personality than a fake one one that wont last even 10 years
i think i basically act the same way in real life.
im probably a lot more awkward and shy in real life though.
but i know a lot of people. that are so weird online.
on my English forums (yeah. we ARE that nerdy) theres this boy thats like really quiet and awkward in real life
but when he's on the forums. its just like. he's this totally outgoing and social person.
and to comment on the recent drama that has over taken GBAtemp
just. chillax.
10 years from now. or even less
you guys will be looking back on all that crap
and probably will think "wow. how stupid was fighting over (insert drama here). waste of my time"
or even better, you wont even remember what happened. or why you got so angry. or what you were arguing about.
seriously all this drama makes GBAtemp a much stiffer and awkward environment to be in
take your shit somewhere else. go troll them on AIM or MSN all you want,
but fighting over silly things. on a gaming forum is quite childish.
