I am on neither side of any fence, and my intent is not to defend anything or anyone, least of all the so-called "fanboys." My intent is to expose you as someone who talks way, way too much and says way, way too little of interest or of note. 1200 posts in just over a month is unnecessary and absurd. Especially if you consider how many of those were unique or worthwhile in any way. Comparatively, guys like drohne and Lyte Edge, who post all the time, have around 1700 posts each in 6 months.
I'm sorry, I didn't realize it was you who had to judge the content of my posts. I've got a total of 30 PMs in these "last few weeks" and many of those are from people complimenting my posting patterns. But thanks for playing! I post a lot, and almost everything I post is meant to provide personal insight into different situations. Whether or not you find my stuff interesting is irrelevant. And please with the "I am on neither side of the fence" bullshit. If you want to talk about trying too hard...

Ping Pals looks like a total pile of shit, but that's not the point. The point is that you're posting every 10 seconds in numerous threads just to say in various trying-to-be funny ways, i.e. "mentally handicapped person on heroin who is blind and has no hands," that Ping Pals sucks. Obviously it's the cool-to-hate game of the week, and everyone knows it looks like poo. But still, pulling the know-it-all funnyguy routine and constantly trying to point out how many kinds of dicks it sucks, when it's obvious that you have never actually played it, is just getting really irritating.
I'm sorry, you see... you expect me to take you seriously when you honestly think I have not played it. See, this isn't a matter of whether my posts are "interesting" or not - it's a matter of you not believing what I write. That's seriously not my problem. I only formulate final opinions on games I've played. I'm not even going to get into your "oh nos he's trying too hard to be funny" bit because that's the way I talk. I like the venom to spill over into my conversation as much as possible just to emphasize how much I hate any given thing. "Funny" is not something I am trying to be. That's Defensor's job with the whole IGN pic montage.
So we'll summarize this. You don't think I have played it and you don't like the way I point out it sucks. My response: Too bad, deal with it and I have played it.

Especially if you're going to start accusing other people of blindly supporting it, while totally ignoring the fact that you're blindly hating upon it. Both stances are equally moronic. And I don't buy your vague little story for a second - you had your 'friend' take out a copy of Ping Pals from the shrinkwrap just so you could try it? Better yet, two copies, so you two could try it together (which is the only way it could be fairly judged, I'd assume)? Right.
I'm sorry. My "hate" of them is motivated by one specific thing, which hardly makes me blind. These are people who sat down one day having barely even seen a few pics but realized it was coming on their system of choice and gave it a
perfect score. This is, I'm sorry, reprehensible. There's no other way to put it. I don't care what system the game is for, this is something that deserves my hatred. And by the way, my "vague story" wasn't meant for you to buy. It was simply the truth, which requires no qualifiers. But no, he did not pull it out of the shrinkwrap so I could try it.
He, having a DS like I do, always puts aside a copy of the latest DS games for himself. I also played (and beat) Spider-Man DS this way, but for Ping Pals I was obviously much less enthused. On the only note you struck true in this statement is that I
didn't play with him; I just used the functions I could use alone. I never claimed I played with him. You can play certain mini-games and stuff like that alone in order to gain points.
But anyway, like always, thanks for playing. It has
got to feel good to be so consistently wrong.

You seemed to have your mind pretty well made-up a few days ago. From IRC channel #ga on 12/12/04 -- directed at me, no less:
[03:52] <Serico_Amir0x> Lumines is the best thing ever bobby
[03:52] <Serico_Amir0x> im telling you
[03:52] <Serico_Amir0x> i refuse to see otherwise
Way to pull it out of context. I remember that conversation decently, and I believe that was when you said "I don't get the appeal of Rez and I don't see what makes Lumines so special either." Something along those lines. All those lines which followed that you posted specifically were half-joking/half-sarcasm aimed at emphasizing my enthusiasm for this game. It is, as I said, the only game I'm anticipating for PSP. So I like to tell people why I feel it will be awesome. But, as you well know, I don't formulate final opinions unless I play (and most of the time beat) the game I've discussed.

Anyway, I didn't intend to start some dumb war with you and I don't plan to speak of this again, nor am I going to call you a motherfucker, tell you to shut the fuck up, or slap some smug/blunt ending on this as if I'm simply right and that's-that.
That, like, totally makes you mature. Oh, btw, I am right. And that
is that.

Just trust me when I say that you're becoming an extremely annoying presence, that you're coming on way too strong in too short a time, and that I'm not the only one who has noticed. The combative tone throughout your reply sure didn't help things, either. So take whatever you'd like from all that.
Oh nos you're not the only one who has noticed!! I must make room for the phantom haters so that I may not offend their fragile minds. I will post as fast as I like, I will respond with statements that are as long and overblown as I like, and I will have whatever conversations I like
And, for reference, there's only one reason I have been combative during this thing. It's because you called my a liar. And that's when I get combative.
