... I have to wonder whether that was a typo or not. "destorying". Did you mean "destroying", or did you literally mean de-storying?

I meant destroying but thank you for the correct. When I come across most grammar aficionados online its only when they are in an irritable mood, is something the matter?

Guys, don't try to troll the trolls, in this case. Just pretend that they said something relevant and interesting, and respond to your imagined version of their post, rather than what they actually posted. Twist their words to suit the thread. Stay calm, collected, positive, and polite. And be sure to insert just a small barb into it to make them just that bit uncomfortable. The barb should be on-topic, but going completely against the angle that the troll was after - if it's a Zelda thread, and some PS troll comes in and starts talking about Uncharted as being superior, finish off with something like "that's what makes Zelda so great - Nintendo actually puts thought into their levels", after sticking to on-topic discussion. The implication is more than sufficient, but the troll doesn't have much choice in response without looking stupid.

Basically, reject the premise of their argument, and turn it against them.

This is more or less how I prefer to operate. Pepper the the trolls with calm logic, then stick them with a logical loop.

Im sure a zelda thread will not be derailed by an uncharted fan. ND seems to be constant in brining quality games out for the PS3, it seems Eiji is destorying Zelda one title at a time.

Are you looking for an argument, or are you simply suggesting that Zelda/Uncharted comparisons are extremely dumb due to each series having different developers (as one of many differentiating factors)?

Best way to respond to trolls is to ignore them. Mass ignore guys? OR, even better.

In reply posts, we only use memes :)

Interesting that you've changed your stance on unreasonable ignoring users. Remember this post?

@Ganging up on Conegamers ("just ignore him"). I think clan mentality doesn't suit the forums. If you disagree with him, just keep it at that. Ostracising users is for insecure people. We are not insecure, we're here to dialogue. Keep it real guys.

It was a different time, a different king.

That Game of Trones reference was so cool I'm gong to let you off the hook for your earlier post.

Thank the gods. To be fair, I didn't really want to discuss it, because I believe that Conegamer is an honest poster, he doesn't post to stir reactions imho.

On the contrary, I took great humour at the typo, because it could have been intentional. Like I said, "de-storying". Didn't make a whole lot of sense in context, since Aonuma is putting more story into the games, but it was still entertaining.
