1992 Dune 2 Battle for Arakis
1993 Master of Orion
1994 Transport tycoon
1995 Frontier First encounters
1996 The Neverhood
1997 FF7
1998 Grim Fandango
1999 Everquest
2000 The sims

2001 Ico
2002 Syberia
2003 Zelda windwaker
2004 Half-life 2
2005 Shadow of the colossus

I don't, but none of their games made my game of the year becuase I've yet to find something exclusive to their consoles with the heart and soul of something like Wind Waker, Ratchet and Clank, Mario, or Uncharted.  I's all preening machismo.  

That's not true. Games like Kameo, Viva Pinata and Banjo-Kazooie are totally unmanly titles. Then you have JRPGs like Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey. Mature storytelling in Alan Wake. XBLA hits like Shadow Complex and Super Meat Boy.

You don't see these games, because you don't want to see them. You despise Microsoft from the bottom of your heart, but just because they brainwashed people with their marketing doesn't mean that they are all bad.

Kameo is one I want, but it isn't that good from what little I played.  Banjo Kazooie is mediocre as well (though I admit it does have charm, but as far as I'm concerned it'll always be a nintendo series).  Blue dragon was lame, and Losyt Odyssey looks good but I'm picky.  Alan wake I want, I'll give you that.  Super Meat Boy isn't an Xbox exclusive, and Shadow Complex is pretty macho.  I own about half of the above games.  

and none of those games are as good, quality-wise, as the games I listed.  Zelda is fantastic, Ratchet and Clank is criminally underrated, Uncharted is amongst the best and most impressive game series' of all time, and Mario doesn't need my praise, he's doing just fine.  some of those games  may have charm, but that doesn't make them good games as well.

So the only game you acknowledge is the one that just recently ceased to be Xbox 360 exclusive. What. A. Coincidence.

About the comment on Mario, does this mean you excluded his games from your GotY list, even though they would be on there, if they got less praise from others? That's a very dishonest approach, omitting certain games due to popularity, rather than a lack of quality.

dude, just stop.  This pathetic back and forth crap you pull stopped being funny a year ago.  I know what you're trying to do and this is as far as it goes.  Go find someone else to irritate.

Eh, it's never going to last long anyway, because I throw in over the top comments in almost every post that usually get subsequently more ridiculous, so that the other person eventually notices what's going on. It's never meant to go on for pages, neither is it meant to exceed more than a few lines per post.

You are so weak.

In regards to what exactly?


This dude just called your posts pathetic, crap, unfunny, and played out. Translation: he called YOU pathetic, crap, unfunny, and played out. And you reply by explaining yourself to him with no retort. It's almost as if you were apologizing in disguise.

Basically, you admit to being pathetic, crap, unfunny, and played out AND you apologize for it.

Weak

So what do you suggest? How should I have responded?


I don't know. Looking at the situation, you put yourself into a pretty deep hole. I can't really think of a suitable response other than apologizing and giving an in-depth explanation for my actions. However, if I were somehow in your predicament, I'm pretty sure I could have thought of something out of fear of shame (unlike you). But then again, I would have never backed myself up into such a terrible situation. You sabotaged yourself in that exchange early on.

With your intellectual capacity, sure.

I'm sure I could have thought of something better had I been in such a high-pressure situation. I've always been known as a clutch player.

Not sure if aggressive or silly.
