It's Bubble Day!

From Cat: (Actually, there is a "world bubble day" and today isn't it. Shhh...)

Comment on this blog (once) and I will give you a bubble!

Why?

- I'm leaving! ( http://n4g.com/user/blogpos... ) Consider this precious bubble a farewell gift?
- We plan on getting rid of bubbles in an update
- ...but that update isn't ready, and aren't we all tired of waiting?

So, yes. Comment on the blog and I will gift you a bubble. Golly, make it a really good comment and I will gift you two!

[Anthotis]

I could really do with a bubble.

[Maddens Raiders]

Me too..

edit:/ what the hell? how did I lose another one? :(

[ifistbrowni]

do we comment here or at the link?

[nix]

Me want one or two. badly. /:

but please don't get rid of bubble system. if you're getting rid of it, at least give us back an "Open Zone".

[AngelicIceDiamond]

More bubbles more problems lol.

[SilentNegotiator]

A free bubble for anyone? The trolls are gonna love this :S

I still think that the bubble system works and should stay.

[JackBNimble]

Funny , I lost a bubble after a Grammar troll was out trolling someone and their post. But this grammar troll used the words you're and your incorrectly , so I pointed that out , was marked for trolling and lost a bubble.

lol

[SilentNegotiator]

Well, it's not perfect. I don't think people should have their comments marked as "off topic" or "trolling" when it is a not-trolling on-topic response to something determined to be an off topic comment. But overall, I have found that reasonable users of every background and platform of choice can build up a lot of bubbles over time with funny, intelligent, and helpful comments.

[ifistbrowni]

I lost a bubble for openly announcing I've developed a few stalkers who literally PM'd me and asked me to kill myself for going for Achievement/Trophies...

The bubble system is definitely more than flawed.

[SilentNegotiator]

This? http://n4g.com/news/1673599...
That comment was an off topic tirade.

People who don't have a sense of what comments are appropriate and when are always the people who think the bubble system is flawed.

[ifistbrowni]

please explain how:

"hopefully we get an Xfinity (comcast) app so I can pack away my 360. The 360 app always freezes my system and it gets kinda annoying. Off topic-ish, the HBO GO app on 360 doesn't even compete with the x1 app. The x1 app is so much better"

could be considered off topic on an article discussing apps? The only reason I considered the HBO GO discussion "Off-topicish" is because HBO GO obviously isn't releasing this summer since it's already available. I was pointing out how even though the app delivers the same content, the UI on X1 HBO-GO is much better than the 360 one.

It was marked for trolling which is absolutely asinine.

Granted, you can say the first part was a bit off topic, but it was a reply to the remark, "how could any one disagree with, 'this has potential,' is beyond me." Still, it wasn't marked as "Off-topic" it was marked for Trolling. Wish mods were obligated to explain how I broke the N4G sites ToS like other sites do (if you get infractions on a forum, they send you a PM + Email).

Mods of this site went crazy with popping bubbles on that article. The 1st part of that post was a reply, the 2nd part was on-topic. Nothing related to trolling.

[Azzanation]

I wouldn't mind a bubble too lol

[vickers500]

Bubble please? I don't exactly need one, but it would be cool to see my bubbles actually going past 6 for once.

[Khlydo]

alright!

[DarkOcelet]

"MR.Bubbles" (Bioshock 1)

[buddymagoo]

BYE CAT!!!

[Snookies12]

Can I get another? Lol, I'm kidding... Cool little gift though.

[uth11]

edit: oh I see you already gave me bubbles, thanks

[cl1983]

Oh I want more bubbles.

What I can't have more then ten :(

[xHeavYx]

Hey, other ten bubble guy, high five!

[Kurisu]

I've never gone up from 5. WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?!?! xD

[Bimkoblerutso]

We are all slaves to the bubbles. All hail the bubble overlords.

[Thegamer41]

Bubbles?

[G20WLY]

Yeah, you know, Bubbles DeVere...

http://vignette3.wikia.noco...

[Skankinruby]

Everyone has a ton of bubbles here, what exactly is the criteria to get them?

[Evoluti0n]

Sweet, sounds good, nothing like some free bubbles!

[endi123]

I need bubbles NOW!!!!

[poppinslops]

I lost my bubbles in the war... giving me more is your call, but don't say I didn't warn you.

Either way, thanks for the website... it's my favourite.

EXCELSIOR!!!

[Heavenly King]

I want bubble :)

[Fil101]

I'd like 1 too

[georgenancy]

do you want your fries with some bubbles

[georgenancy]

i really like them bouncy bubbles

[Spotie]

I wonder what the new system is gonna be like? Seems like it's been a long time coming, but I'm curious as to what will replace the current system.

[bleedsoe9mm]

this system is broken , i've never seen you troll , i believe you believe everything you post you just aren't blindly supporting everything sony does . seems like that is the only way to get bubbles currently lol

[Spotie]

It would probably be easier if I did, but I don't blindly believe anything... about anything, really.

There are a couple of users who have gotten them other ways. I think it may be possible to gain more based on submitting articles, though that hardly seems to make sense.

Oh, well.

[bleedsoe9mm]

@Spotie
i haven't been posting that long maybe its just the general mood of the community over the last year . i'm not sure how you could post enough article to get a long string of buubles , people get them up so fast it makes me wonder if people are working at the websites they are posting . i'm with you though i'm just going to keep doing my thing , if people don't agree with my opinions tell me why i'm wrong but don't take away my right to my opinion . but whatever !

[georgenancy]

Bubbles,i blow that
Bubbles,i watch that
Bubbles,i tap that
Bubbles,i well said that

edit:Thanks alot Cat and best of luck in your future endeavours

[chippychan]

Bubbles? Ricky? Julian??

[bmwfanatic]

I love bubbles! :-)

[DarkLordMalik]

I had more bubbles once but then I took disagrees in the comment

[Volkama]

I wasn't going to comment, but I suppose it would be selfish to deny people the opportunity to read any potential 6th comment I might add to a discussion. Hit me up!

Good luck doing new stuff.

[taijutsu363]

Hubba Bubble
Hubba Bubble
Hubba Bubble MAX!

The New Kind of Bubble!

[Mrveryodd]

Good luck ... In what ever you are about to do ... But I don't give a toss about bubbles

[Volkama]

<dons prosthetic nose and glasses, and puts on a fine Italian accent> hello, this is my first comment, please grant me a bubble. Bubbello. Ciao Bella

[Cat]

Heh

[maybelovehate]

In honor of Bubbles I offer you some words of wisdom from Bubbles : )

"If you love something, set it free. If it comes back to you, you own it. If it doesn't, you don't own it. And You're an ***hole."

[Spotie]

At first, I thought you meant the Powerpuff Girl, and I was appalled.

Then I was like "Hell yeah, Bubbles!"

[maybelovehate]

ah man : (

[MasterCornholio]

I'll miss cat

:(

[Roaddhogg]

Bubbles.

[maniacmayhem]

I could really use a bubble! Does anyone on staff have a time table on when exactly the bubble system is leaving? What else needs to be done?

[jackanderson1985]

What are these bubbles u speak off?

I just want to gEt another one so I can continue never reaching the maximum

[Hellsvacancy]

Farewell Cat

[Dee_91]

u dont need anymore bubbles get out of here.

[Rik_Mayall]

To thee make mine a double
Whether it be in spirit or bubble

[Rik_Mayall]

Thank you and farewell!

[kingdip90]

I would rather you keep the bubble and stay

[SliceOfTruth888]

anyone who has a different opinion about PS4 can finally get a bubble!

[hankmoody]

I'll take a bubble if you don't mind

[ThatArtGuy]

Sure, why not? I'd rather Cat stick around...

[Convas]

Go home and be a family (wo)man, Cat

*Guile Theme plays*

[Mega24]

I lost two bubbles thanks to the fanatics... Farewell and good luck in your future endeavors.

[slappy508]

So long and thanks for the bubbles!

[Bowzabub]

Goodbye Cat. Been here ever since '07(reading)and made an account in '08. It was so awesome having you notify me that I was one of the winners of one of your signed copies of the Last of Us a ton of other stuff and a giftcard for a PS4. Just for saying "Thanks for the opportunity." Thanks for your patience too. Wish you and everyone you love all of the best in life.

[SharnOfTheDEAD]

Good luck on your new venture :)

[Link2DaFutcha]

Can I get a Michael Bublé Bubble?

[Software_Lover]

mmmmmmmmmmmm buuuuuubblesssssssss

[S2Killinit]

Why is he leaving us?

[NoctisPendragon]

It is a good day so.

[MasterCornholio]

Just a question.

How will moderation work in a bubbleless system?

Is it going to be like GAF where people can get banned with only one comment?

[Thehyph]

There wouldn't be many left to comment if this place was ran like GAF. Would be easier to find sensible people though!

[Evildoomnerd]

I was wondering about that too. All the platform warrior loonies are going to come out of the woodworks. Remember the "open zone" comment sections?

[MasterCornholio]

I wasn't around when N4G had them. But I've heard good things about the openzone.

[Relientk77]

I'm glad you were with us!

Any plans after you leave Cat?

[Yui_Suzumiya]

Meow meow to cat :3

[SmokingMonkey]

I had five bubble once, then after the Xone came out......it dropped to two?!

[Stapleface]

Will be glad to see the bubbles go, but until then I sure could use another.

[Agheil]

This post is bublicious ??

[jcnba28]

Bubbles please!

Edit:

Thank you good sir! :)

[Thehyph]

A few times I would have liked to add another comment on a discussion of personal interest.

[Blurmobjet]

Ah man. Been real Cat. Don't know much about you, but I'm sure you did a lot behind the scenes to keep things in check.

Now, that being said, I'm glad you're giving some of us the opportunity to escape that 5 bubble trap that we've been in for years (^o^)

Take care of yourself!

[Software_Lover]

To bubble or not to bubble? That is the question........

[Unlimax]

Thank you for everything Cat :3

[Elwenil]

Extra bubbles are always useful. Thanks and good luck in the future.

[OpieWinston]

Who doesn't love a bubble. XD

[BitbyDeath]

All the best Cat, you will be missed. Chris has got some big shoes to fill.

[immabadguy]

I'd love a bubble....

(or two)

[StevenSeagul]

Any idea when the site will be updating?

[S2Killinit]

Hey thanks for the bubble. Wish you luck.

[sourav93]

Wow, it's been a long time Cat. You've done a fantastic job during your time here at N4G. I remember when I joined N4G just over 6 years ago, and how much this site has changed and grown, but also how much it still stays true to it's soul: News For Gamers. Ever since I joined, not a day has gone by (yes that's 2,259 days) that I didn't visit this site for my gaming news fix. Thank you for your service, and good luck for wherever you go next :)

[MultiConsoleGamer]

Best of luck in all your future endeavors!

[iClenchTatas]

Farewell, Cat! Sad to see you go, but I wish you all the best! The site just won't be the same without you...

(Just saying bye! Don't want extra bubbles, I'm good with 4 or 5 or however many I have.)

[Lev1903]

Let the bubbles begin

[Phoenix76]

Bubbles up for giving away free bubbles

[raymantalk1]

bye cat.

[mastemikegee]

Everything comes to an end eventually.
Farewell Cat and best of luck on your future endeavours.

Also, farewell bubble system.
So, I'm giving everyone here a +1 Bubble vote
just to sweeten the deal even more while bubbles are still here :)

[FunAndGun]

Good luck to you Cat whatever you happen to be doing. Thanks for the bubble!

[nveenio]

Leaving? NO!

[CaEsAr-]

Why are you leaving? I don't know you but the idea of leaving something you've been working in for many years saddens me. Wish you all the best bro.
