I thought Pristine was the first to say that.

I blame the internet. It gives people a way to voice their opinions without having to care about what they say. Just talking about this on another forum in that even though you have a right to your opinion you are responsible to uphold justice and respect as well. On the internet... no one holds anyone accountable for that. Thus you see people acting like they can say whatever they want. Even more so you feel like you are talking to a name when indeed the name is another person.

Thus it gets personal and carries on into real life as well. And no one condones it. Actually in politics you see people actually celebrating such acts that come from the internet such as spreading their crazy conspiracy theory stories (the bad ones).

People just need to understand there is respect and common courtesy that needs to be applied everywhere. It doesn't matter how vocal you are about something you still need to understand your opinion is only reality for you so treat others like they matter too. And most importantly don't use others and outside opinions as an excuse for not being respectful and justifiable... just because someone else or someone on TV thinks this is ok doesn't mean it actually is.

Internet, although a wonderful thing, is just completely destroying social communication between human beings. That or nobody is teaching people this respectful form of social communication. Always goes back to the parents I suppose.

I blame Democrats and Nintendo.

It doesn't matter to me one bit. My favorite console is actually the SNES and NES. I enjoy the features of this gen, but I am old-skool and love NCAA Basketball, Blades of Steel, Tecmo Bowl and Legend of Zelda - A Link to the Past - and a host of other games.

I blame fanboys

I wanted to see how many people fell for that & thought I was serious Madskillz would've anyway, now you've ruined it & know this I WILL NOT buy Pikmin 3 on day 1 now!

Yeah, Darth - I was on to you ...

It's because the battle is soooooo close. There hasn't been a battle as close as 360 vs. PS3 since SNES vs. Genesis. That battle was INTENSE. But imagine... if back then... when we were all fighting about Mario vs. Sonic... there was a 3rd system outselling the SNES and the Genesis combined, and all it had was exercise games, party games, cartoon games, and stupid games for losers!!!!

I understand how these people feel. But IN YOUR FACE CHUMPS. Old people is the new hardcore. Deal with it.


(Also, it's the internet. Zucas is right about that. I doubt half of these people would be this fanatical in real life.)

Eh, the Sony v. Microsoft thing is no more vicious than Sega v. Nintendo of yore, while it's understandable why HD v. Wii is as vicious as it is, as it's the deciding question for the future of the industry, but that's merely the age-old passion of people getting pissed off when their "art" goes "mainstream."

What ever happened to him?

Cause gaming became mainstream.. We Nerds have to scream harder to be noticed.. we are overwhelmed by normal people who don't care on what machine they game..
