Adolescent mentality and not adolescent boys. Get the terminology of the stereotypes right. 

Also, i think you give more than a rats ass about "colourful games". You show up in each of their threads with your snarky, backhanded comments.

Some I hate:

-Resolution/FPS/Quality nit-picking of titles from one console to another in an attempt to show one is better.
-A fan of a system showing a title (I'm looking at you, "X") to say how powerful a system is.
-Other fans blindly saying the title (I'm looking at you, "X") looks bad because it isn't on their favorite system.
-Over the top predictions that posters like to use to make themselves a genius if they come true, but everyone will forget if they come false - which they usually do.
-Stereotypes of console fans - ie, owners of a given system like a given genre/title because that's what owners of said system like and they won't like other genres/titles.
-Making excuses for title/system sales failures or successes.
-Ignoring legitimate reasons for title/system failures or successes.
-Dismissing Wii's success as something that only sold to grandmas because of a "gimmick".

What debates, discussions, arguments ect that you deem pointless really annoy you?

Personally, 720p vs 1080p (no not because I'm an Xbox fan) simply because it's a very boring subject when neither one is radically different to the other.

To answer the pole #3, I have a day office job and while I try to keep busy I do end up having a fair amount of free time. And I find gaming debates very fun and engaging; it helps the day go by faster and keeps me in high spirits during the day.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

You didn't get it...but anyway: exhibit A is only 1 user, and exhibit B is you trolling (and failing at it).

I didn't get a direct question? 

A. I gave you multiple examples from one user because it was easy and memorable. I don't see how that matters, since the thread asks what pisses me off (it doesn't matter if 1 or 100 users do it).

B. You keep using that word...Again, I broke no rules. Thread got locked due to people like you going crazy because they didn't like the result and due to the same thing happening in previous Knack vs. Mario threads. Please explain to me how a thread comparing the FW sales of two exclusive platformers on a freaking sales forum is TROLLING. Yes, give me legitimate reasoning here because I haven't seen it from anyone. 

If you are not trolling, then you are taking the Knack vs 3D World topic way too seriously...that's something very stupid to be pissed off about, sales competitions (as sport fanboyism) can indeed be deadly to someone's health.

Mario vs. Knack had never been compared FW. Oh, wait, it had been but Mario was assumed to be on top so it was OK. Now that someone showed Knack on top FW it was not legit and not OK. 

Btw, the thread didn't break any rules. It got locked because one Knack vs. Mario thread spun out of control with angry Nintendo fans and happy Sony fans going at it. 

We could not compare their first week sales until yesterday, and since this is a sales site I decided to add the numbers up and see which game sold more with launches aligned. 

Oh and what am I "mocking" with the PS4 is king thread? Do I not write "happy" enough? It's a silly thread in an attempt to lighten the mood. I should probably get another user to do my next thread due to the automatic personal attacks I get every time I write about something they do not like.

You know full well why the Knack thread was created. Do not play clueless here, please.

You may ask any Mod about the thread, and they all will give you the same low opinion of it and the uselessness of the topic.

Of course I know that full well. I explained it to you. 

You might ask why I find that comparison relevant/interesting and I'd give an answer something like this: because Knack is supposedly a terrible exclusive platformer while Mario is the biggest platformer out there, it is interesting to see that Knack could still sell more FW (yes, I know it was included in bundles).

I have already asked axumblade (who locked the thread) and he gave the reasoning I just used (second paragraph in my previous reply to you). I don't know if it matters to you or if you'll listen to this but isn't the fact that I didn't even get a warning enough of a clue? Another clue is that there is nothing in the rules against threads like mine.


I was avoiding this, but seriously oh please, not even I will defend you on this one. You knew full well the topic you were creating will cause a shit storm, but if you wanna play ignorance so be it. 

Morenoingrato, you aren't innocent either, the mod decision is in fact what pezus said. So seriously both of you calm down, and get over it. Seriously I can't go into a single thread, before the mention of that one thread will be brought up.

(Seece can I put this arguement under the knack/SM3DL one, or is it almost a unique thing?)

I don't think the 720p vs 1080p discussion is useless or thrash, but it is simply being used as a subject for discussion way too often. Other than that, the bankruptcy discussions are IMO the most annoying.

Mods are biased so of course their opinions are wrong...hey that's another annoying discussions that happens everytime somewhat gets banned.

Haha see my post above. Like I said, I didn't get a moderation even...

I was curious why axum locked the thread so I asked him. 

Are you seriously using the "mods are biased" line on me, as if I've ever used it?

I understand that some people didn't like the results of the thread but, man, you two need to take a deep breath and stop making shit up in an attempt to attack me.

Who said I was talking about you? talk about being paranoid

I concede. You did not break any rules, nor do you do it often. You have mastered the "art" of pushing it as far as you can, but never going beyond the line.

That said, even if you did not break any rules explicitly, the purpose of that thread (and every Knack thread, except maybe the first one) was to enrage Nintendo fans and cause trouble. That is why it was locked, it is the kind of thing that only causes issues in the forums and does not add anything to the sales discussions.

So yeah, you don't break the rules, but your threads are there to make others break them. You may not deserve a moderation, but we are better off with those threads locked.

Definitely it's own thing, and highly annoying. Especially as it's clear to most people Mario is the far superior game.
