I didn't post in ill will, just some good fun.

Yeah. People tend to get banned or posts gets locked when they are having similar "good fun" to what you are having. Most people make an irrational prediction occasionally but calling specific people out for their prediction of a certain game is more of trolling then having "fun."

 

Why is that trolling? He wasn't insulting them personally, calling them stupid or anything. Don't be such a wet blanket. If someone is so deranged as to claim LBP will stomp Brawl and SMG in sales, let them receive a chiding on an internet message board forum. I'm sure their credability in life (assuming they had some previously) will survive this little on slaught. Sheesh, you can't even hold people to their own words anymore.

Let the flamewars commence

That practically says "I'm going to rub this in peoples faces and I want them to argue." ;)

 

No, I was predicting myself being attacked



"Pier was a chef, a gifted and respected chef who made millions selling his dishes to the residents of New York City and Boston, he even had a famous jingle playing in those cities that everyone knew by heart. He also had a restaurant in Los Angeles, but not expecting LA to have such a massive population he only used his name on that restaurant and left it to his least capable and cheapest chefs. While his New York restaurant sold kobe beef for $100 and his Boston restaurant sold lobster for $50, his LA restaurant sold cheap hotdogs for $30. Initially these hot dogs sold fairly well because residents of los angeles were starving for good food and hoped that the famous name would denote a high quality, but most were disappointed with what they ate. Seeing the success of his cheap hot dogs in LA, Pier thought "why bother giving Los Angeles quality meats when I can oversell them on cheap hotdogs forever, and since I don't care about the product anyways, why bother advertising them? So Pier continued to only sell cheap hotdogs in LA and was surprised to see that they no longer sold. Pier's conclusion? Residents of Los Angeles don't like food."

"The so-called "hardcore" gamer is a marketing brainwashed, innovation shunting, self-righteous idiot who pays videogame makers far too much money than what is delivered."

a. You are in the wrong forum for this.
b. It's disrespectful to call out single site members by name just to say they are wrong.

Don't we have a completly endoresd Crow eating thread to do just that?

Either way... the interesting part is i wouldn't really call those people fanboys and they were just actual bad predictions.

I'm guessing it's the "Awesome" part.

Like "Good guess there bob!  I mean you predicted he'd eat 2 hotdogs and he ate 53!"

 



ok i think the "lbp will sell like pancakes at ihop" was the funniest one



Most of these predictions didn't have numbers attached so how are we to know exactly what huge means?



"We'll toss the dice however they fall,
And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."
