Can we have new arguments, with new ideas...where peoples opions actually get changed? pwease pwease.

 

 

Sure!

Its COLOR, not COLOUR.

 

It's the English language, therefore colour >_>

...but I make the rules, and I say it's COLOR. Its also an apartment, not a flat, an elevator instead of a lift, and MOM not MUM.

(I get to do this all the time, as my lead programmer is from England!)

DMJ is definitely an oddball. He champions Sony, yet supports M$ and Ninty with his money. I'm convinced he's a big time masochist.

What's a masochist?

Virgins don't need to know.

You can always use wikipedia or something if you were that curious though.

Forgive me.  When I said "sentence" I meant "post."  Why does the implication that Sony fans would feel the need to irrationally defend PS3 numbers reflect poorly on Sony?  Personally, I find Sony to be an incredibly flexible and innovative corporate machine.  Why would I attack them?

You attack the PS3 on a daily basis.

Let's be honest here.

I do defend Sony, but not to the death, and I don't attack Microsoft or Nintendo (anymore) for no reason.  You on the other hand (like in this thread) do.

I think you may just like arguing though.  Because you said that you were going to sleep, and then you trolled.

@ bolded

I defend Sony to the death?

I think most regular posters here will attest to the fact that it has been some time since I regularly had anything negative to say about the PS3.  Certainly I find better gaming experiences on the Xbox 360, but I commend Sony on getting the price down, creating a better environment for developers, and getting a couple of AAA titles out for their system.

Am I to take it from the first sentence of your post that you are no longer attempting to claim that I attacked Sony in this thread, or ever, but have moved on to a general argument that I am anti-PS3?

And then he screws you over by doing something he's not supposed to program? :p

What's a masochist?

A person who makes thousands of forum posts expressing their love for a console which they never get around to buying while regularly bagging on the two consoles which they do own. I'd say that's a pretty good working definition, at least.

This is probably the most ridiculous an NPD thread has ever been, and the numbers haven't even been posted.

Congratulations, everybody.

He's implying that you like to torture yourself, because you defend a system you don't even own.

 

Ever hear of S&M, like S&M clubs? Stands for Sadism and Masochism. You don't go there unless you want to beat/torture someone or be beaten/tortured by someone. That and you need leather pants apparently.

...not that I know anything about that.

*walks off, whistling*

Obviously, I meant Microsoft.  I thought you could read between the lines.

We can move to a general argument if you like, but the fact remains that you do attack Sony on a regular basis, including in this thread.
