Wii is a toy, 360 and PS3 are serious business!

You should have hide it better! A place which everyone has access to is not a good hiding place.

haha khuutra
I love your eloquence, but the fact of the matter is that your language use is ill-suited to the medium. In terms of linguistics, every demographic has it's own conventions and stylization. One of the very reasons for language evolution comes from the anonymity of the internet itself!
In society, it's easy to classify people based on accent, posture, and regional dialect. However, on the internet, all these things are gone. As such there has grown two environmental stresses.
That of typing quickly, and that of being able to discern commonalities quickly.

While I hate memes as much as the next, this internet dialect is very interesting. It's fascinating.
For example, the word facepalm is another big word that has descended from 4chan. However, it is like how American media takes time to visit the rest of the world. People who actually frequent 4chan and other similar boards started using "palmface" instead, to differentiate themselves from the mainstream overuse that "facepalm" has seen. If someone says "palmface" you can immediately tell that they are more involved.

While your language use is beautiful, it is simply a reflection of your identity, and occasionally, it may present itself as a wedge rather than a mediator, depending on the demographic being addressed.

Yet your own argument, much more thought-out than the norm in this case, stands as proof of what I am doing: when language is used properly, it begets language being used properly.

I have already won this particular battle, just in getting you to speak to me this way.

You HAVE crazy, enraged fanboys in your thread. At least in the MS or Sony forums us Nintendo fans wouldn't have to look at it.

Here's another idea:Why don't we get some admins to just open a Nintendo-hate forum on VGChartz so all you losers can post messages all day about how much you hate the Wii.

Then you can all be together and leave the rest of us alone!

Ah yes, but isn't it best to hide things where everyone can find them? I submit this evidence as proof that you really were trying to hide it !!!!

This is quite unfortunate. If I were undersexed, this would influence me to buy a wii.

Wow, what a clever idea! One section for every console so the haters can gather and...hate.

But, well, it would be kinda sad if such feature has to exist. The haters would probably go to other threads anyway, just because they want attention.

It is only because I understand my audience, and alter the style accordingly.

Yes, you do, as I suspect most of us would.

you seem to be the only one out of place here. Are you really encouraging me to post off topic material in other forums?

you will be assimilated
