Shared on Tue, 12/12/2006 - 13:26First off I feel like someone beat me like I was stealing something. Im coughing up technicolor yum yums and whenever I cough it causes these really cool sparkly dots to appear infront of my eyes. Wooo! Fun.
And Im at work. They asked me to come in (normally Id have the day off), and I said sure...because I had a deadline coming up for a couple of racer cards so I wanted to make sure I got it done incase I got real sick and had to take time off.
But soon I'll be heading home and taking some nice drugs and going to sleep. It will be nice.
Onto other things. Theres been alot of negative, demeaning and overall not-so-cool comments being said in the forums as of late. Some at my posts due to my opinion being not so popular, which is fine because I dont have opinions to be popular. But then some because of questions I ask.
I got a chance to try the Wii the other day...and I was not impressed by it enough to warrant me purchasing one for the forseeable future...and I posted why, and a few other thoughts of mine on the console in general.
IMO the Wii is a gimmick. This thought alone brought on alot of negative feedback. Alot of "You dont know you only played it 2 seconds in Walmart!" and whatnot. None of which really held a mature tone to them at all. Only a few said "hey thats cool...your opinion and choice."
For starters...I played it for almost a full hour. Around 45 minutes or so. And I played it at EBgames since I know the guys who run the store and I wouldnt have to give them my card and ID. And after 45 minutes I wasnt having a good time because of the controller. I didnt care for it. And 2 more weeks with it would not change my opinion of it Im sure. Thats like building a tolerance to anchovies or something..."here...keep trying it until you like it. The flavor doesnt change...you just have to REALLY convince yourself you like it!" And if you dont...your a douche bag who is close-minded and never tries anything new and interesting and your not a real gamer....so there. hah. With some things a tolerance must be built yes. And practice makes perfect. But you have to like it to want to practice it to WANT to get better. And I didnt like it enough or saw myself liking it enough to buy it and build said tolerance. It doesnt take 2 weeks to tell if a console sucks or not.
Thats fine. Im glad you out there who enjoy the Wii are enjoying it. Im happy for you. But the Wii is not for me right now. I think its a gimmick (even if its bringing in non-gamers). That just means its a gimmick that works. And the tech really isnt that new or innovative. Its just a light-gun with some new features...except you have to play all the games with said light-gun. Not fun for me really. Doesnt mean it wont for me later...but as of right now I dont enjoy it. I may give it another shot later with some different games. But right now no....Wii is not for me.
Posted a question about the possibility of host-advantage with certain weapons in Gears of War. Which happened to be soon after a match in which my ladder team got pwnzed hard. Although it had nothing to do with that match. the team that beat us just had a better team, plain and simple. But again...this question turned into a debate and headache for alot of people it seemed. And some people just got a little assenine about replying to the question. I dont mean anyone in particular. And then someone posted in another thread (about the thread I posted) saying something to the effect of "alot of people blame host after they have lost a match even though it wasnt the host...it was just a lack of skill."
That may or may not have been directed to me. But I kinda feel like it was. So Im a little aggravated about that. I never got upset during the game when we got killed, I never posted anything negative about anyone or about the match. Quite the opposite actually. I asked some of the opposing teams members what some of their strategies were so that I could help improve my teams game.
I was asking a simple question because the next day, I noticed the EXTREME differences in the power of my shotgun when I hosted a match and when I joined someone elses. It was an afterthought that had nothing to do with that match. It was about a few unranked non-ladder matches and practice games that some peeps in my clan and I played. It was not a complaint about losing. We lost fair and square IMO.
But these 2 are just examples that happened with my posts. But others posts are pretty similar. Its just seemed to me in general alot of site members have gotten cranky. We have grown substantially over the past year and they may just be growing pains, or strain on the admins...or newbie douche-bag trollers....or whatever.
But my big question is this: WHO SHIT ON THE COATS? I mean come on? This is 2old2play. We pwnz trollers and asshats. So lets get pwning!
Gatsu OUT!
P.S. I dont direct anything in this post at anyone in particular. If you see quote similar to something you may have posted and you feel its out of context or may have an issue, PM me and we can talk about it and make sure we're on the same page.
Thanks.
