This generation seems WAY TOO PERSONAL, IMHO

[Joelcool7]

I don't know about it being any more personal then last generation.

Last generation I decided to get a GameCube and go exclusively with Nintendo over buying a PS2 or X-Box. I was flamed out of every forum online except for VGChartz and Nintendo's own N-Sider. People were very passionate about PlayStation being the way truth and life nobody games but through Playstation. For Playstation as my witness you are a fanboy JoelCool. It was radiculous and many N-Siders began creating their own forums to chat in instead of getting flamed out of existance on other boards.

I remember time after time having Sony fanboys show up every E3 on the N-Sider board and flaming the living crap out of it. I remember seeing topics like "Nintendo sucks" "Nintendo fails" and then the threads post would be some crap about how the PlayStation was kicking GameCube butt and that Nintendo was a kiddy console.

You know how many times people called me kiddy and the GameCube a childs thing. I got insulted day in day out. 1.UP for example was one of the worst sites for a Nintendo gamer. Infact writers of 1.Up and their magazine personally insulted me for being a Nintendo fan. After I got in a few fights I actually got banned.

Today I go on forums and say I'm a Nintendo fan and people are less flamboyant. I don't get insulted by everyone in the thread. I think the passion has actually shrunk theirs fewer fanboys today then last generation!
