I've run into him on Twitch a few times... he was streaming Zelda 2 speed runs occasionally. Dunno if he still does that since I don't get on Twitch much anymore.

He's a fine upstanding gentleman.

I have him on my facebook because I am THAT cool.

I still love OSG, Nintendoage fan or not. He was hilarious in a weird crazy ass way.

OSG Rules. Insulting to compare Zen to him.

I very fondly remember OSG as being one of the funniest dudes ever. I thoroughly enjoyed his occasional posts on NA about Zelda 2. Let's stop equating NA with evil and just consider it another message board of NESescity, albeit desperate necessity. A place of detailed posts about the number of screws in a cartridge. A place where people obsess over the arbitrary rareness of intentionally limited homebrew production runs but every once in a while talk about fond memories of actually PLAYING nes games.

I'm not saying he's no longer funny; I'm just saying he's a weiner. The last time I talked to him, I began to dump on NA and he was genuinely hurt by my comments. That's not the OSG I remember. Hell, that's not the kind of thing a scener would ever do in regards to a Nintendo related object, game, forum or entity.

This is precisely why OSG, the fucking self-styled NES scene hippie, being pro-NA makes zero sense. Meh. I don't hate the guy for it, it's just confusing. I remember OSG having a sense of humor, not being some uptight collector dude who I have to compete with at the flea market.

And NA itself isn't inherently evil, it's really just a majority chunk of their forum. The site itself is actually quite a nice reference if you're looking for manuals or even just to know what games exist for the system.

Not every NA poster is a hoarding, price-gouging, speculator shitbag, but every hoarding, price-gouging speculator shitbag posts on NA.

Yeah, their database is top notch (even though I will comic book guy some of their rarity designations... as shain would say, autistic screeches). The Clerks adage holds true - this site would be great if it weren't for the fucking users.

Haha, yeah i know... that was the only place I ever really "hung out" but it doesn't ever seem like there's much convo going on BUT i haven't been there in a year AND i don't feel like looking now... every time I do there's no interesting threads. But anyhoo Hi Ruudos I remember that handle from NA how are you?
