Unless it's really trolling, not really. I must admit, I do laugh more when I see a pro Xbox/anti PS GIF, just becuase i rarely see them online.
I also love that this site doesn't have the annoying "PC Master Race" people!

Why are all your animals in the process of exploding?

I know what you mean about some PC gamers but the funny thing is, over the last few years, I think the typical PC gamer has become less elitist than many console gamers.  The rise of small developers has been embraced by PC whereas you still get a lot of "AAA or nothing" console gamers.  And, of course, the fact that you can game on a much cheaper PC now than before has expanded the demographic by a wide margin.  PC gaming probably has a lower "obnoxious rich kid" ratio than consoles at this point.

@Bolded I'm sorry, but I've read that over 5 times in my head and I don't know what that means? Maybe I'm dead tired, but it's not making the link.

I definitely see what you're saying, this is mostly based off of other gaming sites I've been exposed to. "Plays better on PC, "Just play it on PC," "We're had 1080p 60fps for years," "If it's not 1080p it's not playable." I guess what I'm saying is for bigger sites like YT and IGN, I see it more often, but it has definitely been less in recent years, I do admit. For me personally, there's nothing I would want to play on PC that wasn't already on consoles. That's just me though.

sony ponys! fantasic! i love it, ill be using it from now on.

You Sony Pony.

*edit*

A defector would be called a Sony Phony.



Despite not wanting to own a Wii, I had fun with it the few times I played it. I enjoyed the 360 as well (even owned one for a period of time). And I thoroughly enjoy my PS3.

So it's not like I'm not open to enjoying the experiences on a non-Sony system. So I wouldn't consider someone an "enemy" based on them owning a Microsoft or Nintendo console, or liking Microsoft or Nintendo games. I'd consider someone an "enemy" based on their actions.

And the only "enemy" I'd say I personally have is sales2099 (whenever I reply to him, it's really antagonistic). This is because I know he is GeneralMLD from YouTube and he's was just shit stirrer yet I'm sure he believed every word he said. "Last place bitch", "you need PC to fight your console's battles", "exclusive *not* on PS3" (making it seems as though gamers needed a 360 to play certain games) and the most obnoxious is when you compared similar exclusives, if the metacritic score is better, then that's what matters, not sales. So Forza is better than GT5. But when the metacritic score is lower, it's the sales that matter. So Gears of War 2 and 3 are better than Uncharted 2 and 3. His hypocrisy was/is astounding.

And then it turned out that he ended up being wrong about just about everything he's ever said, so he deleted all of his YouTube videos so other people wouldn't have dirt on him and make him eat his words, and then he ran to VGC and toned it down just a little bit. But he still does it on his page on this site. When someone points out something he's said that ended up being wrong, he'll delete that comment and justify it because "I don't want my page to be cluttered"

But knowing who this person is, and knowing his history from his YouTube videos, and how he acts on this site, I don't want anyone thinking he has a valid opinion about anything relating to the game's industry. He talks a big game but can't admit when he's wrong (which is like 97% of the time) and he deletes all evidence that he ever said anything that was incorrect. Which is why I think, even the most benign thing from him, should be quoted when you respond to him, so that even if he deletes his comment, he can't delete the responder's, so there's a record of him being wrong.

And if he sees this and says "oh, I didn't know you had a little man crush on me following everything I say blah blah blah" or some derivation of that to try and belittle me, well....I'm sorry that someone calling out your hypocritical and "I can dish it out but can't take it" nature makes you possibly think that. But, for example, I don't need to follow everything Jack Thompson does to know he's a hack, because his actions are evident and can lead me to that conclusion. I view you the same way

An avatar or Signature really doesn't have any effect on how I perceive a poster (unless its intentionally trollish).

It has to do how they act as they post 95% of the time.

 

Having a PC gaming avatar makes me a rebel tho ;p


Pc avatar? I played a ton of team fortress.... in the orange box... on the Xbox360 :D Would be the same as having a football as your Avatar and saying it was a Playstation avatar because it's in Fifa on the ps3

As for being biased against certain factions, hell no, there are people on every side of the fences of gaming who are both awesome posters and terrible terrible bastards.

I am biased against people with huge gif sigs tho.... we get it, you find a 20mb gif of your favourite character twitching around, we don't need to see it in every post you make, there are rulezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz to follow. I find people who break that are fairly disrespectful of those on mobile browsers so I don't like that, since it stops them using the site.

If you know anything about Team Fortress, you'd know how terribly gimped the 360 version is and how the PC version is still strong today. ;p

I judge sigs usually not avatars for some reason.

If you know anything about playing games, you'd know how the features of another video game or a different port of the same video game do not affect the one you are playing. The Xboxlive community still plays TF a lot, doesn't take more than a few seconds to find a full game.

The smoking rodent in your signature, his joints are exploding, and the little guy in your avatar, it looks like someone has shot him in the back with a rocket launcher.  It makes me sad ..

Though it seems it could be worse.

True, but with all the updates and community invlovement I going to have to say the PC is the defenitive version.
