Every hour, day and week, El33tonline’s excellent community types up fantastic comments to make their feelings known on the news, reviews, previews, competitions and articles we’ve posted up, while taking time to visit us on Twitter and Facebook to chat with us there, too.
These comments make us here at El33tonline incredibly proud to be a part of this community because not only are they ultra interesting and informative, but they can be hilarious, too!
So over and above our monthly El33t P33p award, we’re going to focus on some of the more notable comments on El33tonline, our Facebook page and over Twitter by doing a weekly round-up of your remarks to us.
We’ll get better and more inclusive in the future, but here’s our very first Collection of Classic Community Comments:

“Hope he comes back again soon, heres a big thanks to all the South African gamers who made an effort to show support to the local gaming scene when he was here. Makes sense to get noticed if we all ban together it helps our cause - Hooray to Brad & EA :P”

“I see a lot of people on their smartphones (not necessarily gaming), and generally it’s just kids that walk around using (3)DS’s in the UK. I guess I’m just a gadget man and have to have the latest technology: I even bought a PSP Go for goodness sake!”
Appeared: El33t’s Question of the Day: Will you be getting a PS Vita this month?

“i’d say my principal reason for wanting to own a 3ds and ps vita is so i don’t miss out on any great games that are exclusives. something like super mario 3d land, resident evil: revelations, kingdom hearts 3d or gravity rush. the ports or remakes don’t interest me as much. it would be nice if great original games on 3ds and psv eventually were ported to wiiware/psn. this does occasionally happen with games like ace attorney and mgs: peace walker, although i’m still waiting for the hd version of crisis core: final fantasy vii on psn!(-:
“i also enjoy just lying in bed and being able to enjoy a game as if i was under the covers with a good book. obviously the additional input features which the 3ds and psv sport are also cool. i’m looking forward to watching movies on ps vita via remote play and using it as a controller in future ps3 titles.”

“Like I said in an earlier UFC related post, they need to have the full roster up to date out of the box. I’m a UFC junkie and not having certain fighters in the game that have been on the roster for several months is inexcusable. The game is still two weeks out and they already have roughly $20 worth of dlc planned. Really? I don’t like the idea of developers rushing to get a game out with the mentality of, “Oh we’ll just release it later as dlc and charge them for it.”
“I’m not totally opposed to roster updates. They are needed. I’d like to see more fighters available in Pride Mode. There are some major exclusions in that mode. That’s one thing. Another would be the addition of the Flyweight division that the UFC is about to add in March.”
Appeared: Post-release UFC Undisputed 3 DLC schedule revealed - lots of content!

“That’s okay. I live in the UK but el33tonline is my number one stop for gaming news.”

There’s always all kinds of chatter on El33tonline’s Facebook page which results in lengthy conversations between our p33ps, and no conversation was more ‘interesting’ (Read: Crazy) than one taking place between Lyle Arends and Brady Ruiters as they discussed a new round of competitions.
Follow the zaniness over here, but we can’t promise that you’ll get your sanity back, unfortunately.
OK, so this being the very first time we’re focussing on Twitter comments regarding El33tonline, we’re going to indulge ourselves a bit here and post a few remarks that made us feel remarkably good - we won’t toot our own horns (quite so much) in future collections of classic quotes, honest:

Some good comments there. My wife told me yesterday that If I'm not running, or gaming or eating then I'm on El33t and on Twitter....seems like I"m addicted to it. but I'll just say it. My name is POItjie and I'm addicted to El33tonline.
There's no need to seek help for that addiction POItjie, welcome to the club! ;)
Awesome, I'm liking this new feature! Thanks for the comments and support p33ps :)
This new feature is GL approved!
Excellent, thanks for the approval - finally! After we filled in all of those forms and waited months for an official to test it out and get it FCC-approved, Classic Community Comments can continue! ;)
I'm featured twice :O! Proud to be a L33t P33p! Now only if my Gravatar (showing my El33t support) would update :/
Well done!
It's not updating? Uh oh...
Now everyone will know I own a PSP Go!
Runs and hides behind a rock
Don't worry Tony Lee, give it to me and I'll make sure no one finds out! ;)
This is a nice and interesting new feature. Good job Oliver! And thanks for quoting me. I hope I didn't come across as being too bitter in those comments. I'll shoot for getting the "Funny" quote next time :P
@MacDeath_ZA
A very kind offer indeed. However, I've found a gullible mate to palm it off to for a very reasonable £60.
With friends like me, who needs enemies? :-D
Nah, the reason you were quoted there Beardide was because you made some very good points about the way DLC was being handled with UFC, thus the 'interesting' tag. Maybe we should look for 'bitter' comments in the future, though... ;)
Go for it, blow us away with the funniness!
And Tony, for shame... for shaaaaame... ;)
Lol @ Lyle and Brady. Cool new feature :)
