However this is now directed at Legend. I think your Avatar needs a refresh. I know it's probably a likeness of how you see yourself but the problem is it's a little smug. Put a smile on your face or wink one eye or something if that's possible to give your character some cheerfulness. Either that or go all evil like me. That way people will think less smug and more evil or cheery about you ;)

I have to agree with madskillz. Legend11 has a very good avatar that, in my mind, fits him well.


I feel your avatar is about to start singing a Beatles tune, fku ... LOL ...

I never said you did. but from my stay here, a lot of Nintendo fans do use the "you are just a Sony/Microsoft/anti Nintendo fanboy excuses"

well, you don't hear people get called "nintendo fanboy" all that often, no?

The problem is, Legend, guys like you, and kingofwale aren't exactly anti-fanboys or Wii-haters in the traditional sense.

It takes a certain mentality, a cognitive dissonance, if you will, to make the common PS3 owner take to a forum like this.

However, you guys, I believe, have entirely different reasons and methods to do what you do.

I think that you see so much Wii praise on this forum that you just want to counteract it a little. You don't necessarily hate the Wii, but I do believe if you were on a desert island, the Wii would by a distant third current gen console of choice for you. You don't understand its popularity, and though your comments and topics aren't necessarily hateful against the system, there is a certain detectable passive-agressive tilt too all of your comments, because of this.

You might not even realize it, and its not readily apparent from just one view of any of your posts, but rather, only clear when you look at the wide body of your posts here on VGChartz over time.

I could ask you a loaded question, like I've attempted with KoW, to find out exactly how deep you are, but I believe you wouldn't want to answer it either, because its designed to make my assuptions appear correct, when you might believe the answer would be misleading.

The final word is this. If you don't like the fire then stay out of the kitchen. If you really don't wanna get labled a Wii hater, then when you see some anti-Nintendo news that hasn't been told yet, don't take it upon yourself to post it, even if you do so in a completely unbiased way.

If you must do so, then by all means, continue, but don't go on a flaming rant when someone mutters "fanboy" under their breath.

I'll tell you right now, I'm a Wii fanboy.

However, because I am a Wii fanboy, I would never insult another system, nor post any negative articles representing it on a consistant basis, because I don't really see a point in it, and I know it would ruin my reputation as a respectable though biased poster on these forums.

That's just my take. It's the basic reason "why" which is what I believe this post is attempting to asertain.

 ^^This.

if only ZenfoldorVGI can do what he preaches. ;)

I'd go happy if the words "You are just a ....fanboy" don't appeal at all for a day here.

Enough labeling anyone and just stick to the point!

Oh, I see what you mean, I misunderstood you.

I really see Sony fanboy A LOT more than MS and Nintendo fanboys. That might be because so many say that Ps3 will end out on top over and over again.

Actually you do, just about every week there would be a thread complaining about the "nintendo fanboys messing up the ratings." And back in the Hus era, just about every Sony thread was accompanied by a reply about the imaginary Wii Army that was sure to infiltrate the thread and flame everyone to a crisp.

like I said ClaudeLv250, "From my stay here". I have no idea what happened before I came.

Still, flaming by any fan is silly, Nintendo fans or Sony/Microsoft fans, it needs to stop with the personal namecallings.

Also, my reasons for hating Jaffe have nothing to do with his comments about Miyamoto, instead they are related to his general attitude, his beliefs, and his actual game development. The Miyamoto apology was just the last straw in a long line of last straws.

 

so... one reason you hate Jaffe is because he developes games for Sony?? Wow, I'm speechless.

 


Um... which part of his comment says what you claim?  People don't like it when you put words into their mouth KoW.

@Legend - just post more positive news about all three.  You never struck me as a fanboy, but I think sometimes your emotions get the best of you, which is fine, we're all human.
