Killzone 2 showing straight after MS E3 Keynote, July 10th

[The Guardian]

Except the Xbox (original) probably had the best failure rate of it's generation.

I don't even really care about you, you can insult Xbox 360 all you want, but it won't get you noticed by anyone other than yourself and the rest of the, and I say this "lightly", idiots who bash the 360 because it's not 4-D OMGZORZ PS3! It's really not going to get the attention that you're seeking, craving, etcetera..

Quite frankly, I'm of the thought that no one on this forum really cares about you or thinks you stand out as a poster. You're just Sony fanboy #1045 with nothing to define yourself from just being "Zenien's follower". But you just pull it off so damn well. Brings a tear to my eye.

IT WAS A JOKE GUY, LIGHTEN UP, MAN NO ONE CAN HAVE A LITTLE FUN ON THESE BOARDS WITHOUT SOMEONE JUMPING DOWN THEIR THROATS, SHEESH!!!

Sure funny joke, I mean.. the sarcasm was almost undetectable. So much so, that it was almost like it wasn't there. Sort of like if you were.. what is that word? Serious?

 

[The Guardian]

Well, TheBat(putsnumbersinname) would probably qualify. Topdawg, an old banned user, was one of them. The Guardian, from all the posts I've seen, qualifies as well. Oooh, ooh, Mr. Credible as well. How could I forget that guy?

You escape the list because of the bashing Sony thing, the actually being genuinely interested in some 360 games, and because you're the only one actually willing to go through the mental anguish of fighting Phaser and the text block of death.

IF YOU DID SOME RESEARCH YOU'D KNOW THAT THIS IS THE ONLY NEGATIVE THING I HAVE EVER POSTED ABOUT THE XBOX 360 AND IT WAS A JOKE!!!

And it didn't even seem like a joke. But I'm not only talking about that. You, like so many other of the "clones", nip at Zenien's heels and randomly show your admiration for her by throwing out some completely awkward compliment.

Following someone around and complimenting them any chance you can get seems like you're trying to get something out of them. Or just following them around in general.

DUDE I WAS JUST BEING NICE, NOT EVERYONE ON THE NET IS SARCASTIC OR INSULTS PEOPLE EVERY TIME THEY DISAGREE!!! I HAVN'T INSULTED YOU AND I'M NOT GOING TO, BUT I JUST TREAT PEOPLE THE WAY I WOULD WANT THEM TO TREAT ME, WHAT'S WRONG WITH THAT???

I can understand being "nice". But every post I've seen of posters like yourself or people that I also consider "clones" emulate Zenien. Or they spend most of their time rallying around her and cheering her on like they were some kind of fan club or something. It strikes me as sort of sad. She might be a cool person, but there are other ways to express it than every other post interjecting "Random compliment #504".

I ONLY COMPLEMENT HER WHEN SHE FINDS SOMETHING I FIND INTERESTING AND CATEGORIZING PEOPLE AS CLONES IS INSULTING!!!

Maybe you're not as "clone"-y as I think, but I'm basing my opinion on past impressions and recent posts I've seen of yours. And most of them are an emulation of Zenien or a sort of fanboy-ish "go Zen, go!!". Like I said, it's just sort of a pathetic sight to see. You have a personality, right? Start using it.

And yes, it is insulting. It's not meant to be nice. It's meant to be blunt, and quite frankly, emulating someone or attaching yourself to their feet really isn't something to be proud of.

I'M NOT DOING THAT AND FRANKLY I DON'T HAVE TO JUSTIFY MYSELF TO YOU OR ANYBODY ELSE FOR THAT MATTER, SO THINK WHAT YOU WANT BECAUSE AT THIS POINT I COULD CARE LESS!!!

Then I guess that's your loss. I'll keep thinking what I think and you can go on not caring and proceeding down the path you're on. Doesn't really matter to me, and I'm not saying that I particularly care if you recognize it or not. Your a clone to me, oh well.

WHATEVER GUY!!!

 

[Zenien]

The only thing more absurd then someone legitimately looking at me as some sort of leader on a video game message board with the zeal that's being insinuating is the cult like persona and devotion and 'clone' theory cooked up in Extromaniacs mind. Jebus. Well actually the zeal if true would probably be more disturbing, but WHO CARES.

"If you choose to go down that path" save those tones for something that actually matter, like real life. Nobody cares, people are probably like "Zenien posts a lot of up to date Sony stuff when she's at work, awesome!" but that's about as far as I'd rationally think/hope it would go. You extrapolating this whole 'clones' nonsense is about as bad a reflection on your own personal commitment to message board drama as what you are hypothetically accusing others of.

I'd rather have people commenting on the topics I'm making then just giving me a high five, if they want to say 'Thanks!' or whatnot I'm sure as heck not going to rain on their parade, they don't come into threads and lambaste other people with half baked theories and conspiracies about how one posters is supposed 'brainwashing' the weak minded or something.



But I know I'm wasting my time, Extromaniac, whatever image of me you have built up in your mind is obviously too ingrained and reinforced by your own wishful thinking for reality to do anything about it.

I don't really have an image of you, per se. (Still trying to figure you out) I do, however, have a mental image of how they're trying to emulate you and follow you. This, as crazy as it sounds, has little to actually do with you. It has more to do with the people that nip at your heels (twice I've used this phrase, I know) for your entire residency in these forums. The people that sit there and act as if you're their standard-bearer.

I'm not meaning to insult you. I think, aside from some stupid fights we've had, you're a really cool person. But I think it's absolutely ridiculous to try to associate yourself with someone else every post you make where they're present. It just seems like a desperate attempt at trying to get attention. [In context, you means them, etc.]

I'll give you an example. I look up to DRT and WHF. I have since the first time I started posting at this forum. They're cool guys. But I won't take any chance I get to compliment them and drum up their egos because of this fact. I mean, I think they're great. But I'm not going to spend half my forum life trying to walk in their footsteps. I have to define myself some other way. Alot of the people that I refer to as "clones" don't do this. They simply try to ride on your coattails or think that by associating themselves with you, they're granted immediate affirmation.

P.S. No, I don't think you're brainwashing anyone. That's unbecoming of you. I just think that some of the members that frequent this forum are a little too impressionable and try too hard to impress the people they look up to, in short. I guess "clone" isn't a proper title, but meh.

[If none of this makes sense, I'm sorry. I've been drinking tonight and it's hard to type correctly let alone clearly express myself]

 

[GFreeman]

I don't know about this game. In the shots and videos that I'm looking at, this game is far from impressive, but everyone seems to be hyped over it so I guess it's an art style thing or something. I'll admit that it certainly looks much better than I thought it would, so I'm willing to bet that it probably plays a little better than I thought it would as well. We'll see I guess, I'm still not 100% sold on all this hype. I personally think the PS3 has much better looking games than this.

Xtro, I would hope that you don't actually "look up" to these people. Like them, perhaps...but not look up. Looking up implies adulation, which teeters on the sort of behavior that you are accusing others of. You probably just mean you like them and think they're cool in any case but when you wrote that, it threw me off. And I think it's cool to have a girl around that knows more about this stuff than I ever will. It's honestly pretty extraordinary IMO. BTW Zenien, are you like a programmer or someone who works in some type of computational R&D or something? The thought crossed my mind. Anyway, on a side note, did any of you guys see the new Heavenly Sword gameplay on gamezone. That s**t looks fantastic. t: I saw it after I got a look at that Mass Effect gamespot thing with that crazy a** motherf***er. Like honestly, that dude was out of his mind. He's usually pretty juiced, but wow. "OMG YOU GUYS PLEASE. OMG SO LIKE...ARE WE GONNA SEE THE WHOLE MILKY WAY GALAXY AND GO TO EVERY LOCATION? LIKE OMG THAT'S SO COOL!" LOL he even knew all of the techno babble from the website.

 

[Zenien]

Ironically, no. I just have a very boring desk job that lets me surf the internet while I'm at work because there's like nothing to do aside from being on the help line for the phone monkeys who co-ordinate phone service stuff across the country. It's accumulated over the years to the point where I have a scary off hand knowledge about video games since I'm browsing forums like a couple hours a day while I'm 'working'.

Yeah, you probably phrased it better than I could have at this point.

 

[Spidey17]

When is this game set to come out exactly, and where did you get that info from, Zenien? I want to watch the Gears/Killzone comparision. And I noticed on gametrailers that the PC version of GOW had Marcus fight the Brumak. Was that thing even in the 360 game, cuz I heard they cut it cuz of time constraints.

 

[GFreeman]

It wasn't in the 360 game, no. This game is coming out sometime in 2008 I think.

 

[Spidey17]

Sucks for 360 gamers then. Man, you posted fast!!! I wonder if anyone else is on?

 

[XtromaniaK]

It's going to be released on Xbox Live as "Lost Chapters" in DLC. So yeah, at some point 360 gamers will get to defeat a Brumak at well. t:

 

[Spidey17]

Gotcha. Are you drunk right now?

 

[XtromaniaK]

Gotcha. Are you drunk right now?

Why do you ask?

You can scan up a few posts and that'll be answered rather quickly, but yeah.
