Forums - General Discussion - Is there a place for me here?

Dude, we're in the middle of the console war. It is the time for illogical arguments and flamboyant fanboyism. Am I the only one who is watching from the side lines and enjoying every moment of the drama and storytelling?

On one hand yeah sure some of the things said are just stupid, but at the same time it makes me happy that there are so many people here who love their choice of console so much with all their heart. I may not agree with their choice, but I can certainly appreciate their dedication. Because at the end of the day, no matter what console we game on, we are all still on the same boat.



 

Around the Network

padib - I think that's a great idea. That's typically the way I handle people in the real world, although I haven't tried it on here. I guess it's really something that we should actively do to try and improve the community by making people actually think about the reasons for their fanaticism.

Munkeh111 - I knew with the launch that this would be a difficult time, with everyone defending their ideologies as best they can. I think you're suggestion would be smart. Let this all cool off, but the new sales and trends to look at are going to be too hard to try and not discuss. I'll just have to keep it to co-workers/friends for now I guess.

ganoncrotch - You're suggesting take a break to actually play games, and not argue about them?? Absurd!! That actually sounds great as it will allow me to catch up on a rather large back catalog of games..

JoeTheBro - The mega threads are pretty darn huge! I guess it'll be time to take a look once I take a bit of break from here. I would much rather like to see the bashing threads of WiiU and Vita be turned into an analytic discussion but there's always just too much doom and gloom.

gergroy - Hmm.. I do remember some particularly bad times here, but mostly related around events, not dates. What was going on around the time you joined? Might help me remember what would have caused it to be pretty bad back then.

Jizz_Beard_thePirate and DerpSandwich - That's what I've always loved about coming here, and seeing other forums, we still seem like a very great forum. I am just worried that we would start moving in that direction. That would be terrible because its impossible to actually go into IGN's forums and I haven't even looked at Game Trailers or the like anymore.



there is a single game site that I know of that the community very much embraces concepts of friendship and good humor, well lots of poor humor too, but everyone seems to understand it's a special place and everyone is quick to weed out the flamebait and trolling. This ain't that site
