Montana, thank you for understanding the point. You're dealing with irrational people here. Shit, someone even said they liked Independence Day.

I'll stand by my 8 year old niece's opinion in favor of my own. She loved Rock Band. She played Wii Music for half an hour and called it crap (not her words, that little girl has a mouth on her). After a brief time of Wii Music, she went back to Rock Band and continued to play it for three days until I left (I assume she kept playing it after I left).

Wii Music sucks. It's horrible. I played it for about six hours trying to see if there was a redeeming point in that game. There wasn't.

Myamoto, shark, jumping.

Rocketpig, opinion, repeating.

Cute. Maybe someday you'll get your own schtick and become wildly successful at it and then, you'll finally embrace your life. What we proletarians call that is LOVE.

Personally i think you don't believe your own perspective (deep down) as much as you claim. Your just fighting for the sake of it and forgetting that Miyamoto is trying to do something different. Its fine if you, like alot of gamers, don't see the value in his approach, but it is hypocritical for you to use one game as the litmus test for the shark analogy. WM is a game that has followed SMG after all, the best game of 2008. btw alot of nintendo fans who like WS and WF don't like WM either but its no reason to forget that only 6 months before this he produced what some claim to be his best game in 10 years.

Your welcome to call people who don't share your views irrational, but it is you who is more irrational for not embracing different perspectives on different games. As a moderator you should be able to know when to quit and in addition know when you are derailing a thread with your views on Miyamoto.

Oh and i bet you a million dollars more Independance day fans have shooters in their consoles rather than Wii Music. That says much more about the core market than you would dare admit.

You bore me. I already know you and I don't like you very much.

All you do is wish harm on others and put it behind the pretense that you're progressive.

Yawn.

Hahah, brilliant. By deciding to not confront me with an opposing opinion, you just decided to call me dumb. I like it. Seriously, that's not insulting you. By avoiding my given confrontation issues, you made your point with a few single insulting words.

I'm all hopped up on cold meds but I seriously loving this. It gives me all this abstract thought that I never considered before this point.

I apologize if I was unclear, but I don't think I was. I said:

Not saying you're dumb, I just want to say that your opinion is dumb. In its face.

There is no part of it that was directed at you. I thought that the "in its face" was nonsensical enough to communicate that the jab was meant light-heartedly. If we are having a communication problem here, I apologize, and I will reiterate one more time:

I meant to suggest, in a humorous fashion, that I disagree with you, but your general style (and especially your current mood) are not conducive to an actual debate.

While I appreciate the multiple quote boxes, you have no worries.

I know what you meant and I appreciate it. My style is unorthodox and often argued with; I have no issues with people disagreeing with me.

Again, I loved the moral paradox you put me into. Whether you meant to or not is not important.

Oh Lord, all right.

That isn't really a moral paradox, that would just be ironic. If I were saying I wanted to avoid confrontation while being insulting and confrontational, it would be ironic and I would also be an asshole. There are very few moral paradoxes which are actually applicable in everyday situations, much less in conversations. There are just people who behave like jerks.

What kind of cold medicine did they put you on? Codeine? That shit is rough.

Hey Rocket, you listen to Chopin? That's the greatest composer of all time. His pieces are utterly breathtaking. He's like the Miyamoto of classical music but 5x more brilliant.
What's your favorite piece by him?

I'm actually pretty lucid. Where I gain my ideas is through actions. By "moral paradox", I mean an idea that has no simplistic resolution. Or an idea that borders on the religious. Theory of life, order of evolution, all that.

I like to challenge people to think. Nothing wrong with that.

He's not my favorite. I love Tchaikosky. 1812... Percussion.. Last two minutes... OMG.

All I'm going to be teased with is Mozart's Rondo, Fur Elise, and the Minute Waltz.

Oh, there are worse fates in life.

Fair enough. I'll respond to the relevant parts of your other posts - yes, all of them, though I will quote no two redundant passages - tomorrow. Right now I'm not really in good enough shape to do it. You definitely made me think before I esponded, I assure you.

Back to topic please, I'm tired of all the Wii bashing, just beacuse you think games suck doesn't mean they do for million other people.

hey I think MGS4 suck, guess it's true then....



If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing   (mostly)

And shepherds we shall be,

For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints

Oh boy, it is so refreshing to see certain fans attacking people with different opinions.
