This board is reddit as fuck.

[Anonymous No.3075783]

>>3075028
Except stories like this existed way before Reddit did. You're either new to the site in general, or you never went to /b/ when I did ~2007 - 2009, because every day we had this.

It just happens that Reddit is where you find nothing but this type of thing nowadays.

[Anonymous No.3075795]

>>3075783
WELL I GUESS THAT MEANS THIS IS GAMEFAQS AS FUCK THEN!

Story threads like this are one of the best things to read on 4chan anyway

[Anonymous No.3075803]

>>3075783
Because Reddit lives off the worst parts of our already retarded and extensively popularized legacy? Wow Anon, we could be onto something here.

This and other similar stories are why I never EVER lent out my games to anyone back then.

If I let my friends play my games, I had to be there to make sure they didn't get fucked up

What an asshole thing of you to do

Split screen ghosting will always happen because unless your peripheral vision is as shit as a racehorse with blinders there's no way you're not seeing what you're opponents are up to. It's part of the game.
