And I do not mean Normal as in "im normal and you're wierd"

but normal as in "Average joe" type.

-Who here...goes into a graphics war thread and thinks the graphics just either look good or bad and dont know much else?
Pixels, textures, polygons....WTF ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!?!?! All i know is...this game looks great, that game looks good, and that game looks ok.

-Who here doesnt know crap about Photoshop and just use MS Paint cause Photoshop baffles thou mind. There are So Many Photoshop experts on these boards...who is a MS Paint Expert? (paint expert as in...you can copy picture, paste in Paint and save as Jpeg....OOOOH IM A GENIUS!)

-who here reads Panajev's threads about Ps2 and Ps3 and start to feel like a Migraine is setting in after reading 3 sentences and decides to just X the thread all together?

-Who here gets fooled by GT4 Photo mode pictures posted, thinking that is how the game actually looks?

-Who here thinks games like Dave Mirra BMX 2 is better than the "L337" games like .....i dont know....VIRTUA FIGHTER X (X is teh Variable....yes i know what a variable is! yay for me!)

who here just isnt "L337" enough?!!?

me me me....

I know I cant be alone....

The ones about being an MS paint master and being largely ignorant of Panajevs technical crappery relate directly to me.

Besides that I'm not, um, "normal".

what do you mean by normal? No offense, but half of those reasons are not fully thought out. If someone is a professional hardware engineer, I would expect that they would understand what Panajev would say. If someone is a professional artist or graphic designer, I would expect them to use photoshop. If someone is a professional software developer who has worked in game engines, I expect them to be able to understand what people are bitching about in graphics threads when it comes to AA / AF / polygon counts / texture filtering / etc. Those would all be "normal", because it would be people talking about things they have a certain amount of expertise with. Now, when it comes to talking about which games are "better" in some way - that's objective, and the only "abnormal" thing is when another person berates you for your opinion being wrong.

:lol

seriously though, all I'm saying is that some discussion is going to be amongst professionals in their own field, and you're probably not going to get it. Doesn't make those people "weird" though.
