1. Praise a game based on its own merits, NOT because of which platform it's on. When you talk about why The Last Guardian is so awesome, "because it's a PS3 exclusive" should not be one of the reasons.

2. The word "Gamecube" shall only be used with respect. You should also stand when saying it aloud.

3. Do not, under any circumstances, ask someone to convince you why you should buy something. You know what you like. If you don't see the value in something, don't buy it. You may ask what some merits of a product are, but don't ask to be convinced. You are not that special.

"Convince me why I should buy Skyrim" = "Convince me why I should suck your penis". Either you want it or you don't, dammit.

4. Don't post your 3DS friend code and refuse to add people. If people add you, you HAVE to add them. If you don't add them, what's the point? To piss me off? If so, it's working.

5. The words "Virtual" and "Boy" shall not be mentioned side by side unless speaking of Hailey Joel Osman's character from the movie A.I. (Artificial Intelligence).

6. I do the Zapp Brannigan quotes around here. Know your place.

7. Brannigans Law is like Brannigan's Love--hard and fast.

8. You don't get to bad mouth a game unless you have actually played it. Forza fans, leave Gran Turismo alone. Killzone fans, leave Halo alone. Just because you haven't played or can't play a game doesn't mean it automatically suck. It just means you haven't played it. This shall be known as the "Genesis does what Nintendon't Rule".

10. DLC MUST add something significant to a game. $3 for a goddam invincibility code that stops you from earning achievements if you use it once (I'm talking to you, Saints Row The Third) is some farkle-narkle bullshit. Costumes on disc, spending money for in game money, and Achievements/Trophies that can only be unlocked if you buy some shitty DLC (I'm talking to you, Magna Carta 2) shall be punishable by death (of the game company).

11. ALL Achievements/Trophies shall be obtainable offline. I should be able to earn my e-penis points in a game that's ten years old just as easily as a game that is one day old. How can I do that if I need to get ten kills online in Bionic Commando and NOBODY is playing online?

12. Pre-Order/Retailer Exclusive DLC shall be abolished. In the rare exception that a game does have such DLC, it MUST be available to all people within one month (for a reasonable fee). There is no reason for a game like Enslaved to have 3 or 4 different DLC's that are ONLY available for pre-order at 3 or 4 different retailers and ONLY available if you pre-order. Did they expect us to buy the same game the day it came out four different times from four different retailers? As it stands, I bought the game on Day 1 and I have no DLC to show for it. Again, this shall be punishable by two years of disrespect for your games company.

And sometimes confusing

do think all gamers are not social able

Fuckin This ^

That's the worst rule idea in this whole thread

Even worse than my rule idea.

How so?

We got a got laugh out of though^^

nyan^^

Quoted for 100% awesomeness(^w^)

For  the last time, consoles aren't PCs.

Deal with it.

You want to spend big bucks on gaming hardware? Go ahead and get your gaming PC.

Meanwhile, consoles should stay consumer friendly as they are meant to be.

End of story.

no, not end of story. it just makes no sense what you say. it's irrelevant if a console isn't a gaming pc, apple or car. we all earn more every year for our work (on average ~3% in germany for example over the last 10 years) every company has to pay more for energy, workers and everything.

when the last console did cost $400 than 8 years later $500 one generation later isn't more consumer unfriendly. if i take the 3% loan increase every year this means we get ~27% more loan on average when the next gen starts. so 400x1.27=508. if you people have a problem with logic ok, but this doesn't make your statement more true

i have a great gamer pc but that doesn't mean that i wish to have a shit console because noone wants to pay more for a console forgetting inflation and increased income.

for example, many buy a $200 console for their children for christmas. they did this 10 years ago and now they still won't pay $50 more for their child even wit $500 more per month income? this would mean they pay less for the same but no way this is so unfair lol

why shouldn't i give my son more pocket money than my father gave me? i get 50% more money for the same job than he got 15 years ago. but he payed me a $200 console (which was consumer friendly) and it wouldn't be consumer friendly for me to pay $300 for a console nowadays? not to talk about game prices which didn't rise so even then, gaming is a huge amount less expensive than last gen compared to our income.

so for me, i hope console prices will increas every gen like $50 whic will still make it less expensive for me but the console won't be crap.

so as conslusion:

no, i won't pay "big bucks" for gaming hardware, i just have no problem to pay the same percentual amount of my icome for every gen. nowadays i pay much less than last gens which is cool but i don't have to pay less every gen compared to my income until to the point when i pay only 0.001% of my income for gaming which would be the case for some generations behind us with your logic and you would still say "$500 bucks is big money" in year 2150? yeah sure..
