    • RE: Plea for the return of Love & Respect

      I've been trying to keep my eyes open in threads now as I know E3 can be a hot time of arguments, fanboyism and shouts. I still think this place are so much better than many other places of the internet today. However, as the community grows, so will also the opinions on things. More people from bigger part of the world will join and we all have our experiences and ideas of things. I just want to kindly remind everyone. PLEASE dont immediately bite back hard on other people. We all have good and bad days. Some people are just trolling. Try to keep it as an open conversation. I dont say that you aren't allowed to have your own opinion on things, but instead of just going with the so simple "but you are wrong and stupid!" give it a chance to calm down and elaborate on your point.

      If you feel that a conversation just will tip downhill, just walk away (yes you can actually decide to not say anything) or contact me or one of the other moderators. Another option can be to flag posts that you find triggering and we will have a look into the matter.

      On a more positive note I want to say that we all have a passion for games here, we share a common interest and even if there can be a sense of hostility I think we all are deep down full of love and understanding! So talk, discuss and listen to each other, but most of all, dont forget to have fun! Love and Respect <3

    • RE: Plea for the return of Love & Respect

      @CylinderOfLeaves Thank you for bringing this up! I know that things like these goes both ways. People shouting "Trolls! you are only mean!" and the other side "But I have an oppinion, please listen!" can sometimes end up in agressive atmosphere. I think a lot of people get defensive really easy as they have a lot of pasion and personal emotion involved, not to speak of putting money into EZA each month. I have also said this before, but people need to learn to try and see things from multiple angles and listen rather than going into "brickwall mode".

      That said, I think a lot of people also gets frustrated as we have gotten numerous threads/comments just being like "THIS SUX!!!1!11!oneone" rather than being like "I have an idea, here is how things could improve". I would hate to see this community which I love to destory itself into pieces because of becoming too much like a cult.

      I also want to urge you to when you feel attacked or that they are taking it to a personal level rather than going for a discussion with feedback that makes sense, feel free to flag posts! Us the mods are trying to keep our eyes open but at the same time we cant be in every corner all the time!

      If we cant get things here, there are always other places to leave feedback direct to the EZA. Twitter, patreon, emails etc!

      People will always have their own opinions on things, we just have to take the constructive to heart and keep the trolls out. I personally always looking to how to improve and urge to if nothing can come of a discussion, agree to disagree or walk away - a flame war wont help anyone.

    • RE: The Uncomfortable Final Bosman Dilemma

      I just think that Kyle are one those people who got a really down to earth view on the gaming industry. When he started Final Bosman it was a breath of fresh air, it wasnt any gimmic of "look how angry I am!" or "I can shout super loud and rage". He was just a "normal" guy with an opinion and showed it in a nice and genuine way. I believe he is a kind soul (even though more and more trolling makes you start to doubt that). Kyle could do humor in a way that filled your tummy with giggles, you know the innocent way as you got as a younger person that just bubbles up into a great big laugh.

      The editing and the pacing of the show made it very interesting to watch as well, it was more than just a guy talking from a desk. Its informative, entertaining and you get to listen to a guy that are just so super likeable as well.

    • RE: Please consider helping out Marcus Beer (Annoyed Gamer) and his Fam

      @theunborn That is a little too harsh, even if its an troll account (just one post). Its one thing of being upset with someone, but uttering it like that is one step too far, take a few days chill

    • RE: I LOVE THIS COMMUNITY!!!

      I just have to agree! I have been on many different forums and in different communities around the intrawebbs! However, it is very rare to come upon one that are so welcoming and genuinely nice as this one! I spend most of my online time reading on this forum and it has become one of my main sites for everything really!

      It has good tones, people seem aware of it actually being people on the other side of the user names! I have been here pretty much since day 1, and feel like I will stay for a long time! Love & Respect

    • RE: Need some advice/help or a cute picture of a cat

      First of all. Where would this world be if everyone always listened to people and stoped just because somesone said "its a waste of time" or "you can't do it!"? Then even EZA wouldnt exist.

      To give you something about me, I am 27 and I am JUST getting started. so I have been exactlly where you are, Im guessing mainly mentally.

      I think that its only healthy to now and then ask yourself "am I happy where I am?" or "What do I REALLY want with my life?". I believe that this is one of the ways we evolve as people. We have to sometimes take a step back, look at things and see what needs to be changed.

      I graduated collage 09 and most of my friends went off to awesome jobs or traveled the world and so on. For me I were still living with my parents at the time, had NO idea what I wanted or what I wanted to do with my life. I sunk down like a rock into a depresion (or back I should say after coming out of another one, but thats a different story). After a few months of just playing games, hiding away and feeling terrible I was lucky enough to be at the right place at the right time and a phone rang. On the other side of this phone a boss of a grocery store were whom needed someone "NOW", so I took it. Turned out the previous staff had left as the boss turned out to be - you guessed it, batshit crazy. I worked here for about 9 months, hating my life, hating my job and just earning enough money to pay some bills but not do anything special.

      I kept working at minimum wage jobs because noone else would take me with a higher degree, my friends still making shitloads of money and me just enough to survive. I didnt like people, I didnt like myself and everything felt super dark. I was stuck in life.

      Then one day I sat on top of a very VERY tall bridge.... I started to question myself. "What do I REALLY want?" and "HOW would I get there?" "It wouldnt be fair to jump and make this world a better place".

      I started to think about the few times I felt happy, what I did and why. I realised that I wanted to work within the creative industry. I told my parents and some friends, which you guessed it, laughed in my face and said "haha you being creative? thats one of the hardest markets to get into, not a chance that you can do it!". At first I felt really shot down. But I decided not to listen. I applied to universities... got shot down as my grades were absolutely terrible. I got a bunch of "We told you so!" in my face.

      I didnt give up. I started to take evening courses to improve my grades. Did that. An idea started to grow in my head... what about getting away from this shitty little town? (a town which nothing have happened in since 1518). I applied for university abroad. You can guess peoples reaction to that. However I got in and I have just graduated earlier this summer. Now I am 2 months in my role as a graphic designer. I love it and life feels great, but it is just getting started for me. - So what do I want to say with this? I hope you didn't take this as a "lolz look at me Im so awesome".

      I am trying to tell you this as a push for don't listen to what lectureres, friends or family that tells you that you can't do anything. Age is JUST a number, nothing else. You are no older than you feel. There are times when things will be dark, there are no sugercoating in that. BUT, DON'T GIVE UP! I can't stress that enough. If you want to do something - you can. Sometimes you just have to keep in going, work your arse off. Can you build a portfolio? is this your passion? can you tweak what you are doing now to get closer to your goal? Can you find another way in? Start as an intern somewhere and it can take you further. Remember that you cant run before you can walk.

      It is ALWAYS possible to start over, get new prespective on things. Focus on yourself, not what other people have achieved, comparing yourself will just make things harders. Dare to do things FOR YOU, not for others. It is like the snowball effect, get something small rolling and before you know it, you got an avalanche.

      Sorry for the super long post, I hope you can be arsed to read it all. I know that they say "Even hell gets comfy once you settle in", but Start small and you WILL be able to do it. I hope that this post can be even the tinyest thing of support.

      Love & Respect <3

    • RE: The EZA Top 100 Videogames!

      @Exist-2-Inspire Thank you for doing this list! it must have been so much work, but worth it!

      I missed the end of the list and was going to do them seperate, then I was thinking of doing a post of each and every game. But I just dont have the time to write about 100 games at once.

      I am just so happy to see a list that I can agree with and it feels like it got filled with heart rather than "list that must have these games". so BIG thank you to everyone that voted and were active in this thread! thanks to @Brannox and @Axel for giving me their view on things and this thread really deserves a big spotlight in this community.

      Made by the community, for the community

    • RE: LGBTQ+ Allies!

      I welcome this thread so much! As I know this is a sensitive subject at least I will be VERY strict on comments in here, I think this is great to raise awareness and so on, maybe ask questions or even open up a little yourself! If there are any homophobia/discrimination in here I will give people the banhammer faster than they can say "pride".

      Even though I am a straight man I support the whole LGBTQ+ agenda and think its something that needs to be talked about more in the society! Love this community so im sure this will be an awesome thread! :D '

      Love and Respect! <3

      This thread serves no other purpose than to "out" this girl. I don't say that I support her idea, but this thread isnt needed on these forums.

    • RE: What is your favorite game and why?

      For me its almost coming down to "favorite game in different genre". Games are really good for different reasons.

      Final Fantasy IX - Best JRPG there is imo. The story, characters and how madly I've fallen in love with the world and its people. I bought this with my older brother when it came out. Even though my english wasnt great at the time I still understood enough to spend hours and hours exploring and talking to NPCs. This was the first game (other than Pokemon) where I really cared for the characters. Then we have the music... oh my god the music! it gives me shivers to this day! There are songs that I listen to now and then again and still get goosebumps. I have played through this game many times since I was a kid and got it on my Vita now.

      Vanquish - This shooter is almost on the other side of the spectrum from FF 9. Super fast action, tight controller and about 5 minutes of story. I have played through this short but intense shooter again and again. In the begining it was really hard, but once you get used to the controller it becomes this delecate dance as you boost, slide and jump around on the battlefield.

      Mass Effect 2 - This action RPG is nothing short of amazing. Another universe that are full of surprises and good character (Garrus we love you!). I remember getting a bit tired of the first game about halfway though (I was late to the party) and didnt like how it had aged. However, when my friend introduced me to the second game the opening were enough to blow me away. After the opening I had to take a breather and just sat there with my mouth and eyes wide open! and the adventure to come after kept me invested to the grade that I got banned from being indoors for a few hours. (I played pretty much constantly through an entire weekend until my parents told me to go outside and werent allowed to come back in until later in the evening, lol).

      Burnout 3: Takedown - Best racing game in the world? The fast racing with the most beautiful crashes I had ever seen. I remember running home on my lunch break in school with a friend just so we could play the crash mode. I believe this was also the first game I bothered to get 100% completion in. Pure love.

      Halo Series - Not buying a Xbox one this choice might seem a bit ironic. However I love these games. I got fond memories of linking together 2 xboxes and playing halo 2 with friends for hours upon hours. playing through the campaign sooo many times. The summer when I got the first halo to PC, I pretty much played it through once every day till school started. I LOVE the lore and wouldnt mind our future to actually be like this :3 I got most of the books, action figures and stuff from these games. If there are something you need to know about the lore, just PM me ;)

      Starcraft/Warcraft - RTS games, how much I love you. StarCraft I played through a few times and played this at LAN parties with my friends, even though I always were the worst of everyone I knew. But then Starcraft 2 came out and I actually dedicated time into this on my own. I ended up in the higher leagues and even got offered to join a smaller esports team. With Warcraft its mainly Warcraft 3. I never really played this online, however loved the mechanics and story. Thanks to this game I ended up playing WoW for about 6 years hardcore.
