The Format War

Sorry but the blame goes to both the Sony ****e and Xbots along with the mods for poorly handling the situation.

The blame only goes so far both ways when the proportional responses between each side was so one sided and disproportionate.

The numbers don't lie, and anyone realizes that fighting between the Sony and XBox fans was very one sided. You rarely saw antagonist trolling in the microsoft forum especially in comparison to the Sony forum not to mention the "Nintendo Sucks" that was constantly hammered in the Nintendo forum. I don't disagree that ultimately it takes two to argue, or that the mods sucked (of course when they did do their jobs the Xbots cried, but they also made mistakes) which ultimately led to that exodus anyway, but it's clear which side was more to blame then the other between the two 'camps'.

But Horrorfan accounted for at least 85% of the Xbot antagonism. Having him included makes the antagonism between the Xbots and Sony ****es scewed unfavorably towards the Xbots.

And honestly, the mods shouldn't have separated this into the Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo forums. It only made things worse.
 
Horrorfan was actually a relatively late and lower key player in the great forum wars. :confused:

90 percent of the epic happened before he started actively posting. I wasn't talking about threads and posts he made. tThere were a lot of people doing a lot more.
 
I thought the reason alot of the "xbots" left was because of mods banning fellow "xbots" like THWIP. and failing to get rid of people like me!!! But of course alot has happen since than and I've become a much a better person:confused:

I have a feeling I missed something very significant by only being on these threads for about a year. Someone needs to make a docu-drama of what went on and show it to me.
 
The Xbots ran pretty much everyone else out of the forum with their immature *****ebagery. Of course someone like you wouldn't believe me, the arrogant sod that you are, but consider for a moment how after the forums were split the Xbox section was the most active, and after the grand exodus when every single one of them left except for like 2 who continue to post here once in a while, the post gap between the Xbox forum and the Sony forum remains the same as the Nintendo forum is pretty much dead.

I wasn't here to see why and what happened between all you ******s for you to start acting like drama queens to the point of it calling for splitting the forums. Did everyone in this place suddenly rewind the age clock back 10 years or something at the time? The gaming forums had been ripe with fanboy bickering since as far back as 2004 when I started posting in here. The arguing was far worse.

The Sony lot had it's own fair share of 'immature *****ebags' - Rizpower, Topdawg, LIZARD#1, Spiderdogg, Liquid Snake and of course, you. The door swings both ways.

And please don't even bother with that piss poor "you're only saying this because you too are an Xbot" generalization. I've supported and defended every platform on these boards in some capacity at one time or another, only to be rewarded with half-wits jumping on my back with radical cries of "fanboy! fanboy!".

WHF and DRT think I'm a PC elitist because I maintain the Half-Life games are arguably one of gaming's finest specimens.

My love for old-school PS titles like FFVII, Chrono Cross, Xenogears, Metal Gear Solid...not to mention my immense and unconventional fondness for MGS2 and FFX is equated by some as a mark of Sony fanaticism.

Ninja Gaiden, KOTOR, Fable, Chronicles of Riddick, Gears of War - I like them not because they are amazing titles, but because I'm an 'Xbot'. Yeah right.

Heck, even though I openly detest Nintendo's cartoon-ish offerings, but I get called a Nintendo fanboy simply for standing by my positive opinions on Metroid Prime, Eternal Darkness and Resident Evil 4 on the GC.

In fact, I'm having trouble thinking of a mindless stereotypical label that I hadn't been called.

I'm still probably one of the bare few on these boards who owned every single platform and hence, had no reason to play the jackass game of favorites. And it is exactly why me, being the 'arrogant sod' that I am, have every reason not to believe you, because the irony and hypocrisy present in you lambasting at fanboyism isn't any different from the pot calling the kettle black.

So much for Extromaniac blindly believe the the forum is Sony fanboy prime.

Or that Master Chief can beat Samus Aran.
:down

It's a pitiful sight for someone like you who claims to be the echelon of maturity to take something so trivial so seriously. Perhaps your skin got a lot less thicker over time instead of doing the exact opposite.
 
Awwwww s%^&...

There 'bout to be a girl fight! :D
 
Imdaly whilst watching: It's like an out of body experience.

:p

Already covered the relative disproportionate levels of blah blah blah. It's not worth repeating again.

Nice display of how wrapped up in yourself you are. I was never going to go that route because this isn't about you.

Here's the part where I preemptively cover my own ass for no reason, I should have copy and pasted that for another interaction entirely


I'm still probably one of the bare few on these boards who owned every single platform and hence, had no reason to play the jackass game of favorites.

Probably, though don't discount me from that little club. Maybe years ago I was a Sony fanboy, but honestly if anyone actually paid attention to my posts in the apst while I'm pretty much even handed, except I still have the most interest in SOny stuff hence the posting, though my stuff over at Neogaf and other forums are a lot less focused...

And it is exactly why me, being the 'arrogant sod' that I am, have every reason not to believe you, because the irony and hypocrisy present in you lambasting at fanboyism isn't any different from the pot calling the kettle black.

Yeah sure moron. Tell you what, when the Wii finally gets an online game we can play something on it, because I own one. I already got a 360, but it le broke, though I'll be getting a core when Mass Effect hits. Meanwhile I still don't own a PS3.

It's a pitiful sight for someone like you who claims to be the echelon of maturity to take something so trivial so seriously. Perhaps your skin got a lot less thicker over time instead of doing the exact opposite.

I have never claimed to be the echelon of maturity. If you can find somewhere where I did go ahead. But put more words in my mouth to support you poorly thought out denouncements and judgments, go ahead.

I'll tell you what's a pitiful sight mister hyperbole: someone who has made a name for himself by being an arrogant judgmental prick on these forums who only stops by once in a while to make obtuse observations like he's a measure of authority and those he is surrounded by are but blind sheep waiting to be shown the way. The Metroid thing was a throw away comment about something thats context you have no hope of understanding unless you read that topic.

It was never about you. In fact the arrogant sod comment you've taken such offense to only shows how it irks you, but if there's one thing all those people who have mislabeled you over the years can agree on, it's that you're a long winded holier then thou prick. If you aren't really like that in real life, so what that's how you've presented yourself online for ever to a lot of people, and a handful of people think of me like you do, but honestly a lot more don't have their heads up their asses about it. I just want to talk about the games, those awesome, terrible, amazing, crappy games. Really I don't care who wins, as long as every console has the market share to thrive and be supported to an adequate level.

So count me out on the whole 'console war' agenda thing, because I don't freaking have one. THe only thing keeping me out of PC gaming is my computers motherboard thing can't be upgraded because it's PCI or something, that and the prices. I'm still getting Half Life Two Episode 2, StarCraft 2, I own LoTro though I haven't played it yet...

I own a PS2, a Gamecube, an Xbox. Next gen I will own a PS3, a 360, and a Wii. WHich sort of blows your whole "I own all three consoles so I'm immune!" logic out of the water if you're going to persist with your broken logic.

You of all people lecturing me when one comment sparks a post more directed towards your self referential drivel then it does the topic at hand is sad.

I don't give a crap about you, just so we're clear.
 
If his ego is so important to him that he will reply, I'll take it to PMs or drop it entirely probably the drop it option because it's a waste of time and a stupid "I'm better then you!" fight over the internet.... :p
 
Ssh! I only come in this thread to see if any fights are going on! Don't deprive me of it!
 
Already covered the relative disproportionate levels of blah blah blah. It's not worth repeating again.

Maybe if you pull your head out of yer rear end, you'd actually grasp what I was trying to say with that point. Your entire rambling thus far is nothing but a most inane display of whiny finger pointing. Because after all, that's the only thing you've 'covered' thus far.

Nice display of how wrapped up in yourself you are. I was never going to go that route because this isn't about you.

Of course, it wasn't about me until you made it. I

Probably, though don't discount me from that little club.

Please, don't embarrass yourself. You've since long made a name for yourself as the resident Sony ****e. Hell, Killzone alone is enough to show how hysterically laughable it is to even imply the notion of you being some kind of neutral force in this whole debacle.

I have never claimed to be the echelon of maturity. If you can find somewhere where I did go ahead. But put more words in my mouth to support you poorly thought out denouncements and judgments, go ahead.

Of course, you didn't barge in here thumping chests trying to 'defend your side' unless you actually thought of yourself as someone capable of doing so. But then again, that above statement is also a veiled self-admission of your own 'immature *****ebaggery' tendencies, so thank you for correcting me, because hey, I was only implying something less offensive. :up:

And I can't even begin to put into words how amusing it is to see you flip out over such a harmless little comment that was my first post in this thread. If I said these forums have gone down the drain, please, do tell exactly did you infer from that post of mine that sent you in hyper rambling mode? You've either got a burning steak lodged up your anal cavity or you've got an ax to grind with me because of your childish bitterness due to some of our 'previous encounters' (which is fine, because this isn't the first time you've created such a scene either).

The Metroid thing was a throw away comment about something thats context you have no hope of understanding unless you read that topic.

I did. Even posted once in that thread. And there was nothing in it so significant as to warrant mentioning again, let alone holding grudges over. After all, you don't see me (or anyone else in here) raking on the jackasses who think Solid Snake can beat Master Chief, which again consequently highlights just how hard it is for you to let go of something, even if it is something so juvenile.

It was never about you. In fact the arrogant sod comment you've taken such offense to only shows how it irks you, but if there's one thing all those people who have mislabeled you over the years can agree on, it's that you're a long winded holier then thou prick.

Actually, that 'arrogant sod' remark of yours only proved how much I irked you. After all, my first post in this thread didn't take any names, didn't point any fingers, didn't put the blame on anybody. In fact, conversely it was rather a veiled compliment to those actively involved in the discussion in this thread and how these forums sucked but every other thread barely gets a handful of posts a day, and that too with nothing substantial.

That first temper tantrum reply of yours clearly showed how needlessly and pathetically defensive you've gotten here. My first post wasn't even addressed to you, or anybody in particular. It was a general statement remarking on the current sorry state of these forums. But you simply had to come in and throw a jab at me. This mess wouldn't have even started if you kept your head where it belonged and read my post without the constant inner-ranting about how much of a prick Phaser is. Again, it wasn't about me until you made it so. But noooo, me responding to an unwarranted personal insult is only because I think the nine planets revolve around me whilst I sit here sipping vodka mumbling 'me, me, me'.

:rolleyes:

Get a ****ing clue, skippy.

Really I don't care who wins, as long as every console has the market share to thrive and be supported to an adequate level.

So did I, only to find out how the delicate sensitivities of some crybabies turned this place into a barren wasteland. Little did I know that even the mere expressing of such a simple observation would send yet another hypersensitive whiner off the proverbial edge.

Yes keep saying that to yourself my dear, because you're the still only one in here who has bothered enough to draft that joke of a reply to my post. Wipe that hot chilly from your ass and maybe you'll start acting normally.

First, both you and Zenien need to come to www.gamerrejects.com because I'm in love with you in a non-sexual way.

Second, Half-Life being a great PC series has nothing to do with it. It has everything to do with virtually any FPS that came out on the Xbox being met with you dismissively talking about it for lack of "Keyboard and Mouse" controls.

The Xbox's most packed genre was the shooter, and every time one of those things came out, we got into a five-page discussion about how it's not worth playing because you can't play it at 1600x1200 with 7.1 surround sound, the latest texture pack taking advantage of all 9 GB of RAM. After a while one just sits back and says "What the hell is this"?

What the hell indeed, Phaser. I just wanted to play Riddick. Not get an encyclopedia on why it's garbage compared to Half-Life 2 (it wasn't).

But that's another discussion.
 
You of all people lecturing me when one comment sparks a post more directed towards your self referential drivel then it does the topic at hand is sad.

I'm glad you're still around. :oldrazz:

The door swings both ways we already know that idiot.
Of course, it wasn't about me until you made it.

Nice try. My post was about what happened. You made it about you by devoting and even going as far as to opening try to preemptively defend yourself from further posts or avenues of logic centered around you. Entirely too predictable, you made it about you Phaser, you were a footnote in my post.



Please, don't embarrass yourself. You've since long made a name for yourself as the resident Sony ****e. Hell, Killzone alone is enough to show how hysterically laughable it is to even imply the notion of you being some kind of neutral force in this whole debacle.

Ah, so you prescribe to the notion that people cannot change. At least following your own logic, nice to know you're that narrow minded.


Of course, you didn't barge in here thumping chests trying to 'defend your side' unless you actually thought of yourself as someone capable of doing so. But then again, that above statement is also a veiled self-admission of your own 'immature *****ebaggery' tendencies, so thank you for correcting me, because hey, I was only implying something less offensive. :up:

If you were such the intellectual or bastion of even minded neutality you wouldn't be making half assed logical fallacies like this.



And I can't even begin to put into words how amusing it is to see you flip out over such a harmless little comment that was my first post in this thread.

If you tell a lie often enough it will someday become the truth? Is that what you're trying to do here? Let's watch and find out.

If I said these forums have gone down the drain, please, do tell exactly did you infer from that post of mine that sent you in hyper rambling mode?

Just thinking it sucks now because there are so few posters. But then again I wouldn't want people like THWIP back. More people like you without the arrogant 'will make a big deal over nothing because I'm so great' streak.

You've either got a burning steak lodged up your anal cavity or you've got an ax to grind with me because of your childish bitterness due to some of our 'previous encounters' (which is fine, because this isn't the first time you've created such a scene either).

Actually I just don't like you as a person from what I've seen. You were the one who let a one off comment give birth to a huge post that was primarily centered around you as usual. Childish bitterness? You might be wanting to not accuse someone of that until you look in the mirror.



I did. Even posted once in that thread. And there was nothing in it so significant as to warrant mentioning again, let alone holding grudges over. After all, you don't see me (or anyone else in here) raking on the jackasses who think Solid Snake can beat Master Chief, which again consequently highlights just how hard it is for you to let go of something, even if it is something so juvenile.

Yeah wasting time at work because I was bored of my job let me make some awesome posts. Of course if you were a smarter person you might grasp context and realize that I haven't held a grudge over it, especially since I dropped the argument when I think it was horrofan wanted to keep going on fumes. I said 'whatever' and just kept posting cool fanart. I brought it up here because it was like the last interaction I had with him about it and wanted to see if I could rile him up. Maybe you haven't noticed (and you haven't) but even with Imdaly my arguing is primarily just me throwing my opinion out there and wasting time, I don't dislike Imdaly at all, in fact I think Imdaly is awesome and we've been able to have awesome point counter point debates.

I'm nowhere near as shallow or simple as you like to think I am.



Actually, that 'arrogant sod' remark of yours only proved how much I irked you. After all, my first post in this thread didn't take any names, didn't point any fingers, didn't put the blame on anybody. In fact, conversely it was rather a veiled compliment to those actively involved in the discussion in this thread and how these forums sucked but every other thread barely gets a handful of posts a day, and that too with nothing substantial.

I'll admit you irk me on a purely superficial level of me not liking the type of person you seem to be. But really, were you as mature as you like to pass yourself off to be, you wouldn't have flipped (which is what you did) over my arrogant sod comment. Guess it goes to show the truth hurts.

That first temper tantrum reply of yours clearly showed how needlessly and pathetically defensive you've gotten here.

Ok sure. You're way too easy to gull into an argument. I think you feel you have something to prove it's a shame you don't understand that I have next to no emotional investment in this. But the whole repeating a lie thing again I suppose.

My first post wasn't even addressed to you, or anybody in particular. It was a general statement remarking on the current sorry state of these forums. But you simply had to come in and throw a jab at me.

I was bored, saw you, figured why not caste a line, and you got caught right into it hook line and sinker. Congratulations.

This mess wouldn't have even started if you kept your head where it belonged and read my post without the constant inner-ranting about how much of a prick Phaser is.

It was one comment little guy.

Again, it wasn't about me until you made it so. But noooo, me responding to an unwarranted personal insult is only because I think the nine planets revolve around me whilst I sit here sipping vodka mumbling 'me, me, me'.

By all emans try and obsolve yourself some more, you never change.

:rolleyes:

Get a ****ing clue, skippy.

And your constant demeaning of people in an arguement shows how you can't keep a cool head. Do you want to be a hypocrite any more, considering my comment was a one off and your reply was an entire cry baby rant? Or are you done? I'm toying with you. Get that through you head.



So did I, only to find out how the delicate sensitivities of some crybabies turned this place into a barren wasteland. Little did I know that even the mere expressing of such a simple observation would send yet another hypersensitive whiner off the proverbial edge.

Hm guess not.



Yes keep saying that to yourself my dear, because you're the still only one in here who has bothered enough to draft that joke of a reply to my post. Wipe that hot chilly from your ass and maybe you'll start acting normally.

You're entirely too predictable, maybe that's why you seeming think people can't change? I know exactly how you're going to reply. More logically flawed arguements, some nice struturing of the english language,a general arrogance, and constantly throwing in acolorful and spiteful insults whilst lecturing the other person aboutt he same exact thing.

You're a joke and I know more then anything me saying that will set you off to make your replies even longer, (unless the act of observing changes that which is being observed) whilst denying such things.

One little comment should have begot a small reply, but not when Phaser has his ego to defend on no, poor sensitive fragile ego that it is.

Now, prove me wrong by not replying at all. Let's see if you can do that. I will tell you this though, after this I'm not wasting my time on you anymore. I figured maybe you'd changed some, shown I was wrong. Especially considering how you thought you knew exactly how I was going to reply to your response, completely missing what I was actually getting at. I will tell you this, whatever brilliantly worded insults you come back with you only prove one of my points about you. This is my last post. You can get the last oh so scathing remarks in if you want, the more you try to absolve yourself the more you do the opposite, not matter how witty your insults, all you've done is prove what people think about you to be correct. As for 'you're just bowing out because you can't argue with me!' Don't be that obtuse, I mean it anyone looking here realizes you are not guilt free by any means.

I'm dropping it, let's see if you can do the same.

Suprise me, Phaser.
 
I'm glad you're still around. :oldrazz:

And when did this thread stop being about Blu-Ray?

I wanted a break to recharge. It just started diverging in the last page, it's all about Blu Ray now baby. ;)

Brace yourself Imdaly. :p
 
Wow, I usually have to pay to see a fight this good!!! :eek::up:
 
I would honestly post there if THWIP didn't post.
