Some... interesting quotes...

"Buddy, I'm a gamer. Not just the fake ones you read about. "

"I don't mess with the Wii, to be honest with you. It's kind of an amateur console. I'm not into the Wii thing."

"This is how in a simple way you can find out if it's a gamer you want to play with. Ask them if they have a Wii. If they say yes, get the f*** out of there."

"Who wants to play the Wii version of LEGO Star Wars. I'd rather eat glass"

---

Just when you think this guy couldn't be any more of a douchebag!

I ONLY PLAY MATURE GAMES FOR A MATURE GAMER LIKE ME!

Most of the post can be equated to "oh, a bad actor. His opinion doesn't matter"

I can't wait until someone like Denzel Washington comes out and says he doesn't like the Wii

I doubt that Denzel Washington is that immature or dumb.

I seriously doubt Denzel even has an opinion on the Wii either way unless his kids enjoy it.

how about Transformers 2 Boycott. Coming we can't have enough of those at the Chartz :p

I'm way the hell ahead of you on that one. They couldn't muster enough plot to make even one Transformers movie, I don't want to know what Bay wiped off his ass to inspire this second one. Best case scenario is if Bay decided that maybe they should try putting a protagonist in the second film.

Speaking seriously, I hope Optimus Prime qualifies in the sequel.

I love Optimus Prime you see.

How the hell did this reach 8 pages?

A better question is why you have VGC set to 10 posts per page.

Ok, let me rephrase this.

Why have people wasted 80 posts in this thread?

Well, I'm here for the comedy value. I mean, I can barely even say his name with a straight face. Throw in his manly-man posturing and you've got yourself a genuine joke. Then the quotes about his mother pop up and things take a twisted turn down Hilarious Alley.

He's an entertainer, and I'm entertained. Maybe he's better at his job than we're giving him credit for.

I just used Denzel as an example for the measurement of a "good actor". Everyone is quick to hop on Shia LaBeouf, but if someone like Denzel said "I don't like the Wii", what excuse would then be used? You can't say "oh, he's a bad actor so his opinion doesn't matter".

If Denzel said what Shia said, I would post exactly what I did before. My post has nothing to do with Shia's acting ability, but only his supposed profession of being a real gamer and the fact that he is a guy.
