I really can't see how this is important. In either case, really. Maybe you can win me over, though - why are the naming conventions such a big deal? Says you.

On a scale of 1-10, how serious would you say your annoyance is? We could also go with a color-coded system, if that's more your bag.

Ahh, but my purchasing power is of interest to every single money-grubbing game developer in existence; they love my big, fat wallet. Or did you mean you're involved in AoD's production chain somewhere down the line, and were informing me that they specifically don't want my money? If that's...

:o Kill it with fire. That's still $5 more than Portal, which is one of the best PC games ever. Just sayin'.

Guess what? I still think you're way too quick to ring the strawman alarm, and that it's a really cheap, lazy defense. Don't I at least get points for not shitting up every argument with painful fucking analogies? When was my last "strawman" deployed, anyways? I had a (rather clever) printer...

I guess this is what's throwing me for a wrinkle - normally you do insert commentary, especially when two factors seem present: 1). The preview or news blurb or whatever is overwhelmingly positive(ly biased). 2). Said article also contains glaring factual errors. and then you call that...

Great, even more reason to ignore the article! Also - she's never played Fallout? I wonder if her boyfriend punched her because of that.

The way you quoted me and one other guy, then followed up with arguments debunking two positions, and concluded with "In other words, this is one asstarded argument you guys are carrying here." was a little misleading. I'll accept it as unintentional :D

See, that's the problem - you zeroed in on the mean comments people made and ignored that his article was full of garbage. The IG people at least saw the game in action, right? (I'm genuinely asking here; I can't speak Dutch, and Babelfish is not reliable) But yeah - Black Isle forced...

You're calling me out, specifically? Have yourself a strike, pal. But since you asked (rhetorically): I'm satisfied that this guy's article is every bit as worthless as the sorethumbs.com one. Journalistic balance: achieved.

No kidding! Did you see the part where one guy slyly suggested Tom Chick is on the take? If only people knew just how much smug, cocksucking pride Chick takes in lording his opinion over everyone, game designers especially. What's even worse is sometimes he's right :( Yes, and if you're...

Is this a reference to my position or something? Allow me to clarify: merchandising =/= rape (literally). One side of it certainly appears to be!

BN, did you just throw that sorethumbs blog in to be funny? Because it was pretty funny!

Are you taking about total aggregate time played, including replays/do overs/ect? Because I've easily spent over 200 total hours (which is the lowest possible number of 'hundreds.') on Tecmo Super Bowl, but it still only takes a few hours to beat, assuming you skip watch mode. I notice you're...

I can totally see your point - offering Fallout-themed shwag with a Fallout 3 collector's edition package is literally like rape. :shock:

Wow, speaking of revisionist history: Hundreds of hours? I'm suddenly curious to see this unbelievable list of games you're now going to provide us with... ... since none of these games [besides BG and the expansion] comes even close to that claim. Which is pretty good, if we're...

Not to be a wet blanket or anything, but those are all things I've happened to notice while brushing up on the "opposition's" viewpoints. It's hardly unique to any particular faction. Also - while it's kind of cute to see people repeatedly refer to differences of opinion as "pre-refuted" or...

Jeez, I'll use a bigger smiley next time you set yourself up for such an obvious zinger. Sometimes people are curious about things. Sass me again and Gabriel's trumpet will produce you from the ass of a pig. 8-)

Don't you mean G. O. A. T. s?! It's all beginning to come together...
