A moratorium on the term "AES"

[Daisuke Jigen]

Can we get a filter set to block out "AES"?

Its that retarded name Dion started using, and its getting old.

NGH?

Home Cart?

Whatever, but I'd like to see every instance of "AES" replaced with "***".

 

[FeelGood]

I agree.

I hate the term AES.

I remember when it was introduced.

People let it catch on.

I know Dolphinlord remembers too.

Let's stick to something simple.

NGH, or Home cart is easy, and everyone already knows the terms.

Agreed. I use "home cart" myself, I hate the term "AES". Its tainted.

 

[K_K]

well i'm gonna start using max330 i like how it sounds.

 

[FeetJerky]

I had no idea that Dion introduced the term "AES". I agree, let's use "NGH" or "Homecart system" from now on.

 

[K_K]

<strong>MAX330</strong>!!!!

 

[TheBigBB]

Excuse my harshness here... But this is the stuidpest shit I've seen posted in a while. If Dion coined the term, THEN WHY DOES IT APPEAR ON 95% OF MY ENGLISH CARTS?

The black logo at the top reads:

NEO
Advanced Entertainment System
GEO

Why would we stop using it? Cause Dion made it up? No, SNK made it up. What is NGH, Neo Geo Homecart? That doesn't sound right because AES is supposed to refer to the SYSTEM, not the cartridge. Hell, my system plays MVS, calling it my NGH makes little sense.

 

[SonGohan]

I remember EvilWasabi making a good point

"It would be like calling the NES system "TMCVGSE"(or whatever was on the back)"

I like "homecarts" or "NGH" instead of "AES"

It makes sense when you think about it

 

[ShikiMikoto]

oh...I didn't know "AES" was abomination around here...how so, besides the fact Dion introduced it?

 

[TheBigBB]

SNK called it the Advanced Entertainment System. That's all there is to it. If Dion was the first to catch on, then whatever. It's said it on the logo of home carts for years. NGH refers to a CARTRIDGE, not a system.

You guys can call it what you want, but Dion didn't make up the term AES, and it's a simple 3 letter acronym. There's nothing wrong with it.

 

[SonGohan]

You're missing the point.

Let's say System A has this on the back "The most mind blowing 3D handling Machine".

Would you say "Yes, I'd like a mint boxed TMMB3DHM"? No. You'd just say "I'd like a mint boxed System A".

AES is just a description of the Neo Geo (at the time, it's not advanced now).

It's a Neo Geo home system. It's the same thing you play at the arcade, but at home.

Let's not call it NGH ( as it is only 1 letter away from NGF ). Home Cart sounds ok, but it would look a lot better if it was a 3 letter acronym ( PGS comes first to mind ). But , please not NGH.

Then I suppose we shouldn't use the term "MVS" either.

If you want to call it the NGHS that's cool with me, but I'll call it the AES because that's what appears on the side of my games AND ON THE TOP OF MY BLOODY SYSTEM!

It says:
Neo-Geo
Max 330 MEGA
Pre Gear Spec
ADVANCED ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM

I actualy feel dumb for not realizing it says AES right on the top of my friggen console sooner.

 

[SonGohan]

The thing is, MVS stands for multi video system. That's what it is.. AES stands for advanced entertainment system
it isn't..

anyway, arguing about stuff on a bbs is fun

 

[TheBigBB]

I don't care what it is, it's a name. Names don't have to have meaning.

 

[SonGohan]

So then I can call you a pig-fucker?

 

[TheBigBB]

Well I'm done on this topic. Last thing I'll say is that SNK called it the Neo-Geo Advanced Entertainment System.

Now, maybe you'll say that it's not advanced anymore, so we shouldn't call it that... Well SNK means: "New Japan Project". If you think that we shouldn't call it an AES because it has no meaning anymore, then we also shouldn't call them SNK.

Anyway, "advanced" is a relative term, that is, it implies a comparision. In this case, it's being compared with other systems at the time of release, in which case it is quite advanced.

I don't have as much of a problem with what you were trying to say, SonGohan, as with the original few posters. To say that AES was coined by Dion is totally crazy. All you have to do is look at your system or read the glossary to figure that out.

How can you idiots possibly let Dion dictate your lives so much? It's a good thing he hasn't claimed he invented breathing or you'd all be dead.

That makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. We call the NES the NES because IT SAYS NINTENDO ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM on the front of the system, as the Famicon says FAMILY COMPUTER on the front. The same goes for AES, SNES, DC, GC, etc. etc. etc.

It doesn't matter if it's "advanced" or not by today's standards, that's even worse than the NES example. It's like saying EvilWasabi isn't made of wasabi so he should change his public handle. <img src="graemlins/loco.gif" border="0" alt="[Loco]" />

Edit: Holy shit I just realized what my post count is! I'm not new anymore so my handle can't be Neo Rasa but it is! MY LIFE IS OVAR!!!111!!11111111

*Sigh*

I don't expect any of you to understand. It's all you've ever known.

Before he started using the term, no one called it "AES". It was always home cart, or NGH. Look on the spine of your carts. Look at the NGH number. Go into the debug bios. Look at the NGH number hardcoded into the game.

"Advanced Entertainment System" was just fluff text to make the system seem dynamic. Heck, look at a CD system. Would you call them "AES discs"?

 

[evil wasabi]

if you say AES it refers to every form of neo hardware, mvs ngh and cd.

my neo cd says advanced entertainment system as much as my ngh does.

its stupid. its not an aes. ank never called it that.

its like calling a genesis a HDG because it says high definiton graphics on it.

 

[Neo Rasa]

Look on the spine of your carts. Look at the NGH number. Go into the debug bios. Look at the NGH number hardcoded into the game.

As a converse to what Wasabi was saying about the NES, this would be like calling your NES games NCV-R-whatever is printed by the serial cartridge number. What good is that?

"Advanced Entertainment System" was just fluff text to make the system seem dynamic. Heck, look at a CD system. Would you call them "AES discs"?

So is every other system name in existance (except FM Towns Marty, what the fuck is that ).
