Off Topic / Name Changed For The Worst =/
« on: March 29, 2004, 07:17:03 AM »
You wanna talk to ME about name problems?
It's a good thing my name can be condensed as "Archie" because when people try actually typing or saying it, it's a total mess. Archimonde, Architect... it sure is hard to copy a name you just read.

2) Parasiting. Christ, can people NOT parasite other aliens at the start of the game. I'm sick of it. Yes, it may only be a few HP off, but with the skulk's lower armour, every single piece of hp and armour counts. What's more, it's irritating as goddamned hell. Don't do it.<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
goals.
I thought I put an end to this when I started banning for it, but apparently not! I guess I'll have to ban some more. And then some more again. AND MORE. UNTIL THE ENTIRE WORLD IS BANNED.
I also agree with everything else.

Emo is the name for those kids that like to cry and be overly emotional and suicidal and stuff. I dunno, to me it seems a lot like goths only without the crazy makeup and the "evil" side.

See, this is a newbie friendly server. We're GLAD to teach new people who aren't complete assholes. Stuff like:
"WTF HOW DO I BUY GUNS?"
"HOW DO I BECOME THE BIG ELEPHANT GUY?!"
"HOW DO I GET AMMO?"
"Use the armory."
"HEY HOW DO I GET AMMO?!"
"Use the armory, it's the big cylinder building."
"WTF HOW DO I GET AMMO THIS GAME IS :DED."
Or, one which I've been seeing a LOT lately and that really irritates me:
"WTF I DON'T GET THIS GAME AT ALL WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON THIS SUCKS."
Frankly, the basic concept of the game isn't that hard to understand. The problem with most of these newbies is they fail to understand that it's a TEAM game and that they can't go and make decisions for the entire team, IE, dropping the chamber THEY want as aliens (WHICH IS ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS SENSORY). Those who do that also hardly communicate, which is usually the best way to learn. The very first thing I did when I started playing NS was spectate for a round. Something I feel all of those new people should do.
I'm happy to answer questions, as long as they're polite.

I was cloaked right behind you guys, stuck in the corner. You were all welding each other and I was afraid I might get uncovered by a weld so I just said "To hell with it!" and tried to do what horribly, horribly little damage I could do.

love her, it is she for whom I longWell I hope you don't mind but your poems were just happy, not SUPER HAPPY, so I edited them.
her smile brings forth the MAGIC SQUIGGLE
The orbs of her MAGIC SQUIGGLES contain a beauty not yet matched,
Twin MAGIC SQUIGGLES, twinkling in the light of her MAGIC SQUIGGLE
her lovely MAGIC SQUIGGLE as sweet as the herald of an angel
her MAGIC SQUIGGLE, so SQUIGGLY, 'tis surely a sin to feel
her laugh hath no equal here or in the MAGIC SQUIGGLES
the sound of MAGIC SQUIGGLINESS
it is she for whom I long
she is the one for whom i wait
or....
_____________________________________
It must seem strange to you
for me to claim the knowledge of your MAGIC SQUIGGLE
the gentle curve of your MAGIC SQUIGGLE
you who I have not seen
it should indeed seem truly odd
that I should say I know
the way your MAGIC frames your SQUIGGLES, just so
you who I have not met
that I should know the secrets your MAGIC SQUIGGLE holds most fear
those that you have not let fall upon another MAGIC SQUIGGLE
this too should seem queer
you that I have not spoken with
but i am confident, still
for when meet you I do
there will be no tilde
who is who
when I say I love you
for they will be the one
who says "AND I LOVE MAGIC SQUIGGLES."
_________________________________
Once upon a MAGIC SQUIGGLE, a soul was born
Free from all the hatred and tildiness with which our world is torn
You decended, an angel, bringing MAGIC SQUIGGLES in your wake
You brought MAGIC SQUIGGLES to all who saw, and EVEN MORE MAGIC SQUIGGLES to all who knew
So in this simple poem, I write for you
My simple rhymes and words will never express
my undying love for MAGIC SQUIGGLES.

Gee I wonder what inspired this threadI can't stand fanboys, because their opinions are always completely generalised and retarded, meaning they're giant flaming idiots themselves.
Anyway, I suppose you could call me a PC fanboy, then.
The reasoning is, in every experience I have, every experience anyone can tell me of, console gamers aren't gamers.
1) They're 'on and off' gamers. Their parents bought 'em the XBox for christmas, and they use it as a distraction. Which is why I think sports games are so popular for consoles. As an avid gamer, I consider the console to be a PC-Lite for people that dont' have a PC for various reasons. Which is reason one I hate consoles: Almost nobody that's a true gamer uses their console as their gaming platform of choice.
2) Deus Ex 2
3) It's a console. Really not much to explain here: You can't upgrade it, it's a complete waste of money, bottom-of-the-line machines. The XBox was outdated when it came out. Seriously, the PC is the F-22 Raptor of PC games, and the console is the M1A1 Tank. Sure the PC is easier to break and more costly to repair (in terms of time, things that can go wrong). The console is more reliable, more stable, and probably cheaper to fix things with it, but to quote RvB: "You can't pick up chicks in a tank." Or for a more apt analogy, the F-22 is about 10,000x more efficient at blowing the living ###### out of everything. Reason 3 I hate consoles: Completely undeniable waste of cash.
4) People that like consoles are idiots. They'll be amazed when you tell them the parts inside the XBox are worth less then $100 on the street. I think partly because they don't want to admit they spent $300 on a 5 ton piece of plastic that runs on the ass-ugliest display system ever made, with the most limited controls. Reason 4 I hate consoles: Consolers are technology idiots.
5) Deus Ex 2
6) I don't care if a title is console exclusive. But like I said in the other thread it's a downright insult when they make sequels for a PC game that's released on consoles first. Console gamers don't deserve it. These are the people that made EA games rich because they buy "NFL: Xtreme 52! Now with more realistic stadiums! OMG!" four times a year when a new version comes out. In fact, I place the blame on games sucking lately squarely on the popularity of consoles. They've PROVEN to publishers that they'll lap up whatever pile of crap falls in their lap, hence why almost every game that sucks is "Now on Gamecube FFS!!!" Reason 6 I hate consoles: Publishers know stupid (see #4) consolers will buy whatever is thrown at them, since those that do understand the internet use IGN and Gamespy for 'reliable reviews'.
7) Consoles = wannabee computers. Really, nothing to be said here. XBox Live anyone? Reason 7 I hate consoles: People that buy them either are horribly gullible or technology idiots.It pisses me off when a good game is released to the console because I know that's a good game 100% ruined by people that don't know how to appreciate truely good games. Pretend in some horrifying universe, HalfLife 2 is XBox exclusive.
A) You can't mod it.
B) Most games cannot be customized how you want it.
C) The control scheme is limited and sucky to accomodate people who can't comprehend anything beyond arrows, 'A' and 'B'. Have you ever seen a lifelong console player try to play a computer game? It's :Ding SAD. Not that they don't understand the controls or anything, I mean, ######, it took me ages to figure out Halo, but I plonked a couple friends down in front of NS and this whole 'keyboard' and 'mouse' thing almost fried their brain. "Dude, how do you remember all these keys?" "Woah dude you can read the writing on that wall!" (In reference to the godawful TV resolution)
D) You can't do ANYTHING with it short of hacking it with a gameshark.
E) Graphics that sucked 2 years ago, and suck even more now. Reason 8 I hate consoles: Much like reason 1, but consolers in this case can't, and don't appreciate the work it takes to mod, and what the results will be.
9) The fact that it's on a console, cost them $50 (or whatever, I don't buy those things) for a game they can play once through, have no options to customize or mod it (a la #8), then rave about the game for years, despite the fact that it sucked compared to just about every PC game out there. Dude, Halo is like 2 years old. Shut the hell up already. It has nothing, absolutely NOTHING on Doom3. ###### the only thing impressive about Halo was the sunlight through the trees, and the lightmapping. Metal Gear Solid 2? What the hell is wrong with you guys? Great story? The first two missions sucked and took me about 7 hours to get through them because the controls were so awful. No... the FIRST mission took me about 5 hours, and 10% of the second mission took me 3. Why? Well it took me a while to figure out WHY I CHANGED CHARACTERS, then I had to figure out why the hell I was on this oil rig or whatever. I can't even remember. Something about terrorists, pirates, and drugs, I think. Ever hear of System Shock 2? Reason 9 I hate consoles: Console games suck.
Oh yeah.
10) Deus Ex 2.
That was fun
Addendum: So yeah, it's okay if you want to buy the massmarket PC-lite. You just better be prepared to admit that it sucks. So the overall point is:
Consoles beyond doubt, decidedly, definitely, discernibly, distinctly, indubitably, lucidly, obviously, plainly, surely, undeniably, undoubtedly, unmistakably suck in every single possible aspect.
So, ###### you, Uranium.
