Sammy buys up SNK's intellectual properties

That would be approx 75% of the members at neo-geo.com. Honestly, how often do threads there degenerate into a "who can be the most partisan" competition, or flame wars because some heathen dared suggest that a port may be in some way superior. And don't get me started on how - at one point at least - every thread in CvS2 forum featured a minimum of two posts about how terrible the game was and how the unbalenced gameplay ruined it and hoew anyone who played it was a fool. These idiots overlooked the fact that, despite it's flaws, it was still more balenced than a good 50% of all the fighters to appear on the Neo Geo, and that only a couple of them could hold a candle to it. They hated it because Capcom had made it, pure and simple. This was born out when some of the very same people made repeated posts praising SvC: Chaos. I will never understand why so many seem to think that ones love of SNK is directly proportional to ones hatred of Capcom fighters, and the louder you are in this endevour the better.

That's why I love this board so much: other members trawl through that shite-hole, post any interesting and/relevent news here, and I remain informed without having to read through all the drivel the fucktards deposit there.[/rant]

Sorry, but I'm just about the games. I really hate all this "my game company of choice has got a bigger penis than yours" bullshit. I appreciate that I've been the main instigator of the "FUCK FINAL FANTASY" nonsense elsewhere here, but amongst we long time posters on this - for want of a better word - intimate board, it's a given that it's all in fun. Over there it's not: the muppets mean it.[/rant really over now]
