Sarcasm, that I dislike Chicago out here just south of me. Nice to visit for a night on the town, but that's enough of it.
it's still a common phrase lobbed around this site by both devs and fanboys, as a scapegoat as to why this or that couldn't be up to par on a multiplat or in other situations...Bioshock coming to PS3 was showing up with complaints about the quality, and the devs said it. Gabe Newell STILL says it like every other week...it's not an extinct argument, just that it's gone unsaid in this story until he said it. But don't kid yourself, the idea is very much alive and still as fallacious as ever. I...
Sarcasm, I actually saw the title and never thought it could be him, because it was RIGHT on the money...the exact thought I'd had when I read about half the IGN article (I was about to induce a stroke from the sheer stupidity so I had to stop prematurely...)
HHG hit that nail squarely on the head with it, in the big picture at least...I hope he has more stories like this one.
knack for being a "grammar n*zi" and discerning a superior talent for prose (it goes to Morituri, for the record, nothing against anyone, seriously) --but, I will say this, HHG really is hard for me to follow at times. I get it from my favorite rappers, as well, an inability to follow coherently when they talk or type. I don't know if it is how I was taught, the fact that I write on the side and proofread stuff for other adults, or if it's the fact that I'm a perfectionist, but I ha...
result of having a vapid intellect, one void of anything constructive, logical or even sane....move along. What "some" are you speaking on, the 75 accounts that constitute like 7 rabid 360 fanboys?
Seriously, this article made me really lose faith in IGN, even if it's one author, the mere fact they allowed such irate fanboyism, that is based on opinion, and not fact, makes me sick. This shouldn't even be called "an opinion piece" because the author is delusion...
...that's all, just poor evrfighter...Just because you're a fanboy doesn't mean a game sucks, I don't see the correlation...Explain please? Explaining why you didn't want to finish it has no bearing on a legitimate opinion, you know, one that didn't formulate BEFORE you tried a game, seeing as how it's on your hated PS3 (if you even did play it or own one?)... Pfft...
you're playing the "bu bu bu teh Halo" card? Is that a fanboy mandate? Did you meet a quota now that you've said it? Seriously dude. Seriously...
If Halo was so great you wouldn't be trying to propagate any such greatness by validating "sales" comments...get over it, the Wii owners are at least not "boasting" about Wii Play and Wii Fit sales...
Good luck with that.
from about 50 DVD rips at high bit rates, along with like a dozen gigs in music, a bunch of games, demos, and video dl's, I've got maybe 40 gigs free still...not bad for now. Good thing it wasn't *cough* proprietary HDD space I bought for the money spent...it was $88 off Newegg
maybe it used to be out of 5, but then UC2 got a 6, and it didn't look right so they upped the scale to 6.
(just a joke, I saw the comment above that it is meant to emulate a dice, 1-6)
I'm liking the consistent reviews a lot, but some of the comments in the reviews (what I really look for, because the numbers are sometimes just oddly assigned, and the words are more important than #'s to me in a review) are what are REALLY the impressive portion...the "Best sin...
you called out another person here and told them to be a gamer, and then I tried to tell YOU that you're a fanboy, you got up in arms, you admit it now, that's fine I suppose (not really, but anyway)...but you not only missed that irony (hypocrisy), but you missed the part where I noted I am NOT a fanboy, I am trying to bring levity and balance here, trying to inject some equality into this stupid concept. I *WANT* a 360, I *WANT* a Wii, I am not a fanboy, a fanboy laughs at the competition, ...
he'll respond, there's fanboy disagrees littered all about this thread, and no valid rebuttal to the civil comments I've made. I tried to call out Commodore and ask him to explain himself as well, and all he does is disagree and spin it so I sound like I'm out of control or irrational. I'm looking for an honest answer, and a disagree just means there isn't one. Hatred must be such a burden, I guess, as it clouds all else...Seriously, I'm asking for an answer, and I think Darkride is too...
is it okay to be a fanboy (which you clearly state you aren't I take it?) in response to other fanboys? If someone is hating on the 360, let them be, they're missing out like any of the fanboys, if you are actually trying to justify fanboyism as it is a response to contend with other fanboyism, what are you solving? When I see fanboys like I did Not Murder him or POG and the likes, I don't go fanboy on them, it proves nothing, be above that if you're trying to display something above that.
are you a gamer, see my post above, you gonna address that fanboyism or clarify it Commodore? You're always taking a crap on the PS3, so how are you a gamer? I'll gladly admit I want a 360, and hell even a Wii too, but just chose to start with PS3, how are you not a fanboy, I've seen your post history, like I said, always crapping on Sony....Sheesh.
for what, trying to bring a little anti-fanboy levity to the topic? Ummkay...?? Sure...?? Wait, what?
read the pie chart wrong, as everyone has pointed out...it's talking about OS's on the iPhone, nowhere does it talk about iPod's purported/assumed domination being debunked.
Commodore, the slim is ranked 15...what's your point, it's hanging in there, and above any 360 SKU? Are you that hateful towards it? Why? Why can't you love more than the C64 and 360? What law would you be breaking by being a gamer and loving good games in general?
he's capable of multitasking, he wasn't elected for having a one track mind. And who said he's prioritizing video games over Iran? C'mon dude.
when will people realize he's not hating on video games, he's hating on bad parenting and the neglecting of priorities (like losing your family or education or job over a game). Sheesh, unless you're a kid flunking out of school because you can't stop getting head shots, he's not referring to you, so forget it, it's a very specialized comment he always makes, and yet people want to go get the pitchforks...what the hell?
step forward for the medium, and also, the next logical one. Better quality for all, and maybe this will finally show people the difference between upscale and BD, as I can see it, cinephiles can see it...that "HD streaming" stuff needs its oh-so-evident disparity to make its rounds, it's inferior and the contrast needs to be known. I also don't want all DD, so if a superior physical product flourishes, I'm all for it. It's about time.
but it's not heard from 1st parties, it's heard from other devs, like Newell and the likes...just refuse to learn it...they have no excuses left to use.
