No Gurck, it's obviously true. Take this thread, print it out, and show it to someone you know in real life. Ask them if you are making any sense, if you have a good point, or even if you've conveyed any point whatsoever. (Of course, that would require you doing something else with your time besides trolling on these forums... But I think it would be ok if your post count per day dropped down to 26 even.)

You have served no purpose in this thread, other than to argue with people. You can't carry a decent debate, so you go outside of rationality and take stances that have absolutely no data to back it up. That's the only way you can keep the attention.


Btw... OrooOroo's quote in your sig is correct, if you keep it in the correct context. The average PC does not have a graphics card strong enough to power high end visuals.

Not worth the paper it'd be printed on. While both sides have made some pertinent points, only one has started namecalling, utilized AOLspeak such as "u" & "ur" & completely unintelligible runon sentences and seen elite members swarm when a fellow pissant was having trouble making his point, thus resorting to the aforementioned namecalling. Amazing that you continue to harp on my PPD when someone whose ass you kissed earlier has a higher number there, I guess when you have no argument you use whatever's nearest rather than letting it rest... you're one of the true trolls here. In typical Anandtech form, an immature, namecalling idiot has been rewarded with "elite" status. It's really more of a stigma at this point.

The guilty party being the first to shout "guilty" and point their finger is as old as time itself. But, the tactic didn't work then, and it doesn't work today. (Especially when we have it all documented right here.)

Below you will find a quote with the first shot taken in this thread... Take note as to who wrote it.

Oh well, it's your loss.

But you are missing out on some all-time great games such as Resident Evil 4, God of War, Forza Motorsport, Soul Calibur, Burnout 3, Ninja Gaiden, Gran Turismo 4, Ratchet and Clank, Metroid Prime, Jak 3, etc...

What does the PC offer similar to the great titles listed above? Nothing. Sure the PC does have several great titles, but it's pretty ridiculous to even imply the consoles don't.

I can do without them, no way I'm buying a third PC. Would you buy a 2nd, 3rd, 4th car if your town signed deals with major auto manufacturers and passed laws stating you needed specific, different cars to go in specific sections of town? Buying consoles is no different than bending over in front of Sony & MS, pulling down your pants and spreading wide.
If you need more evidence, I'll gladly point you to the post earlier with a list of your insults that you threw in.

As I mentioned in OT, it's pointless to respond to a puerile troll's namecalling & personal attacks with civility; I've certainly responded in kind, never said that I didn't.

Did you miss the part where you took the first shot? That is most definitely not a "response".

Btw... Will you please point me to where I participated in "namecalling"?

totally in context and 'in character' ;)

no, i feel no frustration at your comments [and thank you for including me with the really 'elite' members] :)
. . . how could be "frustrated"? . . . i am taking no position on this xBox360 vs. PC gaming discussion, preferring to 'wait and see' what happens.

i'm just using your own words [in context and quoted exactly] to remind everyone [else] that you are sarcastic and are posting to piss people off.

simple enough? or do you need me to explain it all over again?
:roll:

I'm not posting to piss people off. I know it's difficult to comprehend and angers you greatly, but there are people who don't agree fully with you. Speaking their opinion in the proper environment (ie. a thread created for the discussion of said opinions) is not trolling. The comment you quoted was lighthearted sarcasm. We both know this, yet desiring an argument and lacking a reason, but with an obligation to defend your fellow idi.. elite members, you knowingly twist it into something I didn't mean. Way to go.

You speak as though you know me . . . do you?

you claim i am "angry" . . . i am not

you just mentioned 'trolling', not i . . . why did you bring it up in reference to yourself?

you claim i am desiring an argument . . . i am not - i did not address you until you responded to my post to Wingz

i feel no "obligation" to defend anyone . . . people with the view opposite yours' need no help. . . . and i DO feel free to post MY pov [even IF it conflicts with yours]

How can your words be "twisted" when it is quoted exactly and in context? - the link is posted for all to see

So . . . you are wrong on all counts regarding me and what i was thinking.

Perhaps you are the one that is angry ;)
:shocked:


i'll repeat myself so you can see exactly why i posted:
i'm just using your own words [in context and quoted exactly] to remind everyone [else] that you are sarcastic and are posting to piss people off.

that's all

peace and aloha
(i will not read your response since i've done all the 'explaining' i care to . . .
and you are really starting to repeat yourself - over-and-over . . . i've lost interest here. . . )
:roll:

carry on . . .
:thumbsdown:

You're the one repeating yourself, as if your false claim that you're quoting me in context will become true if only you repeat it enough...

Seriously...do you think people will read your quotes & believe them? Maybe an 11 year old who doesn't know any better might buy that bullshit, but I defer to the statements surrounding the bits & pieces you extracted to serve your purpose. No more needs to be said except you are truly the black hole of online forums, a true asshat that sucks in so many ways Jenna Jamison would be envious.

For those who don't follow random links, it says:

Delusional-Psychiatry. A false belief strongly held in spite of invalidating evidence, especially as a symptom of mental illness: delusions of persecution.

No paranoia involved, I just happened to notice that one of my "f4\/012173" posters had called someone else a kid & thought I'd point it out, as the irony was quite humorous. As my above post quoting you and your response to it show though, you're still quite the hypocrite :)

I'll never buy another console again, except for Final Fantasy games. My computer can play Starcraft, and that's all that matters :p

lol, definitely not. After the Xbox's total failure to pull a good library of quality games I won't bother buying the X360 until it's around $100 if I do at all.

exactly.

if im forking out a large chunk of cash for a new consoel, its going to be PS3.

ill get the new xbox 2 years later ;)

hah, you'd have more ground to stand on if your arguements were actually valid. but since they are anything but valid, falling back on critiques of grammer is just petty and just shows that even you know you've lost on normal grounds of arguement such as logic and evidence. you have to resort to trying to pull attention away from how wrong you are by flooding the thread with inane posts. its just a sneaky way of trying to scroll your discredited arguements off the page. a pathetic effort to spam away the shame.

Not at all true; in a forum where the only clues we have about others is what they type, d00dspeak is extremely descriptive. Do you form different opinions on people & give different importance to their words in real life based on their age & gender?

I doubt I will buy the XBox 360 for at least a few years, if I ever do. It would have to come wayyy down in price to be in my price range.

I could see myself buying a plain old XBox for the coming winter, just to play Tiger 2005 and a few other titles on it.

I'm getting a Xbox360 and PS3. XBox360 has XboxLive (superior online plan) and since PS3 and Xbox360 will produce the same level of graphics all the multi-console games I'll get for Xbox360 and the PS3 will just be for the exclusives. I'm sure I'll get use to using the batterrang eventually.

ATI and Microsoft will bring this one home. They have access to next generation technology that Sony does not.
