Changing gaming allegiances

So what's the policy on changing sides in the console wars? Do I have to sign a petition and be approved by a board, or do I just announce and be done with it? Is there scorn and ridicule, or a welcoming ceremony from the chosen side? If I do change can I ever show my avatar around here again? Will I get banned?

Well, if you're under 18 or retarded, you should make a thread about it and ask others what they think. If you're over 18, you've already outgrown that bullshit...Oh shit.
 
I was Property of Microsoft before, now I have yet to announce. I was wondering what the general feeling is around here about this kind of stuff.

Yeah, MS pissed me off.

Cept I know of 15 year olds that could care less about the company that makes the systems, and care more about the games. But not many people can think that way so oh well.

But you're still joining Nintendo, right?

No one is offended...Btw, I'll hold on to your jacket if you ever need it back. :P
 
I don't think anyone gives a shit what console you prefer as long as you don't BLINDLY RAGE against the others. Gaming is so much better if you just buy the hardware necessary to play the games you want, instead of joining some imaginary 'team' in your mind.

It's like gaming was a religion or something.

"Oooh, can't play that game, I'm Nintendopian."

Complete with the anti-social structure of a sect mind you. Look at the Gamecube and Revolution boards at IGN. Nintendo fanboys there see themselves and their icon as misunderstood (and everyone else sees them, and their icon, as slightly mad), and have over the past few years isolated themselves from the rest of the gaming community. The Nintendo fanboy of today moves almost exclusively within communities consisting of likeminded individuals, and will aggressively pursue strangers to their land. There they have developed local customs, ranging from methods of praise to general sense of humor.

I look forward to the rest of your thesis on this subject matter.

Id like to hear what happend to all the Sega fans.

Sega had abused me and beat me down during the Genesis/32x/SegaCD to Saturn mess, thankfully I had enough time to recover and thought enough was enough and joined the rest of the gaming populace with Playstation.

Shit, I'm right here. I still am a big SEGA fanboy (although their only god games this gen were VF4 and before). But it never stopped me from getting a Nintendo, Sony, or Microsoft system. Cause I love SEGA I'm not supposed to play Zelda? I'm not going limit the games I play because of some retarded allegiance. That's why I love this forum. I come here and watch people hate on MS and spin for their favorite console. It's so god damn hilarious.

Anyway, I hope the gaming community can someday grow out of it's fanboy tendency. This is the generation of change my friends, multiconsolism has a home for all of you. I'm an Agnostic-MultiConsolist. I believe in the possible existance of a One Console Future, however in the present I will not rule out a console.

You know, I don't really look at what console I buy as a second nationality for me, I just look at it from the standpoint of a consumer trying to decide which console best fits his needs. From where I'm standing I'm interpreting this post as "HAY GUYZ I'm going to choose one product over another product, does that make me a traitor? :(." To which any rational human being would reply "I don't give a shit."

Sigh, one day it might happen, but soon? You would have to be crazy to think that it will go away someday soon.

this wasn't a serious post

it also didn't make much sense
 
If you are under 18 and a fanboy, it's expected because kids are stupid. But if you are over 18, then grow the fuck up. A true gamer embraces all platforms.

This one got a DS yesterday. Took less than 10 months to go from getting a PSP at launch to buying Metroid Prime Pinball and pre-ordering Zelda. I still play my PS2, of course, but I'm already becoming more critical of the lineup.
 
How does one jumpship exactly? Especially from MS to Nintendo... Wouldn't the proper progression be to "outgrow" Nintendo and hitch your wagon to any of the other two stars in the sky, if one were to change gaming allegiances, but how does one regress psychologically? How much is sufficient, and when is enough not enough? Add to that shaking the mind set of an MS fan, all persecuted and affronted, jejune, gonad of rage.

Well, I wish you good luck with that.

You’re not a jilted Nintendo fan are you? Those are the biggest tards on the planet.

Don't let anyone fool you. There's really no such thing as "console agnostic". Everybody has their bias. But that doesn't mean we can't all enjoy other systems too.
