I know. That's what makes it funny! Y'see, when someone asks "so who won the NFL last year?" you don't respond "the Seahawks, because their owner made the most money!*" Instead, being a rational human being, you stick to the obvious terms of the question, grit your teeth, and say "the Giants, those overrated, prima donna, led-by-a-Downs-Syndrome-QB bastards!" Or, if you're a slithery person who doesn't want to face reality, you say "my team, because (they improved the most/they toughed it through a hard year/they cleared cap space/whatever floats your boat)." --this reference doesnt apply to anything at hand. My favorite part of this charade is that I know you're not really this dumb, but you just must play the Console Warz so hard that you can't conceive of admitting that your dog didn't win this fight. And hey, that's cool. All I ask is that, going forward, you use a bit of subtlely and disingenuity. See the latest post you made? The part where you go "woohoo, my team grew a bunch from last generation, despite RRoD! We winnars!" was a good example of claiming victory in spite of the clear meaning of the question. Do more of that. Twist the facts, obfuscate reality, redefine terms when it suits you. You could even play the trite "hardcore gamerz say my system! rar!" card, although that one's...boring. --I didnt join this site to engage in baseless console wars debates. If you dont agree with my reasoning, thats fine, no water off my back and I am sure its the same for you. Same for the rest of the VGC community, I dont see how saying what you wrote above is any effective. I think ioi provides an awesome service for someone like me, who is more investor orientated, to have channel checks on how companies and posting sales of consoles and software is a good way of checking. I believe microsoft won this generation coming off an awful start, you can throw all the nintendo numbers you want, I already know them all, it doesnt change anything.
The point is that, going forward, we expect much better of you. We here at VGC (even though I joined before you) like our corporate cheerleaders to be both flexible and creative. Alternatively, you could go the Rock_On_2008 route of being batshit insane: that's fun too. But right now, your routine is...flawed. Uninspired. It's terrible, but not so much so that we can all point to this thread a month from now and laugh. We might not even remember it in a month! So please, and I ask this from the heart: do better, or do worse. -Ridiculing users is I think the primary reason the site is in such decline, but hey. *Primarily through non-NFL means of income. |
