Clearly.

So it doesnt really matter.
80% of the people on this forom act like young teenagers, and it's getting ****ing sickening.

A forum board is not only about game systems and talking about them, but TALKING about them. Not "talking" about them, and trying to downplay them by sales, or anything of the sort. When did how many systems sold become how good a system becomes?

If this keepsup, It's safe to say I wont continue posting on this forum (Clearly I wont be missed, since the forum is made of fanboys), and I can only assume a few will follow after me.

You wouldn't be the first to go (obviously), nor would you be the last, as we both know.

Yet the frustrated, including yourself, continue to post here; which suggests that people want things to get better. I just don't see the method you're using doing any good. And if you know that, why continue with it instead of trying something more positive?

Typhoid to be honest, you are one of the first who come to my mind when I think of people who "act like young teenagers". What's this stuff with always comparing things to relgion and world wars?

And yet this is the first time in a while that there's been a heated discussion. Well, of course there's the name calling and the other insults and...hmmm...

Things are more interesting when there are conflicting view points...as long as people are civilized about it.

that's a big part of the problem, though. not enough heated discussion because everyone* is so pro-Nintendo it becomes more like a bunch of people nodding in approval.

*almost everyone

Ha ha i made funny.

But I do agree. On the other hand, what is there to talk about with games? I know some boards where the posters talk about every little minute thing about video games, but I just have trouble doing that. I mean, if someone posts screenshots of a game, then it's like, "Yay!" but that's it. I just want to play it.

Hmmm why do I come here then?

Arent you the one who complained about a comic and swore you'd never be back, only to come back?

And those are the easiest things to compare to. Everyone knows that. It's not rocket science, and I would have hoped even you knew that.

Oooh, oooh! Do me, do me!

Oh wait, I have to say that I think that you act like a young teenager first.

Nooowwww..... go!

EDIT:

<--- to show that I'm only kidding and not trying to insult anyone.

Yeah...it's been kind of rough around here lately. I find that there's no abundance of worthwhile conversations that aren't put downs aimed at whatever console or company for whatever reason. This pains me as I've really enjoyed being at this forum for quite a long time.
