I brought up your use of Kant as applied to videogames because it speaks of a generally anti-Pringles attitude that inhibits an appreciation of fight man games. Kant's principle of universality is just more text in Vaneigem's wardrobe as far as I'm concerned, and I attacked it since Prisoner's Dilemma which is at the heart of so much tactical play requires not applying that principle to be effective.

You wanna be cheap and not shell out for Super4, but still prove how hardcore you are? SuperTurboHDRemix is cheap. Get that and I'll see you at Evo. Still not enough for you. Download GGPO and romulate Super Turbo, KoF98 or Mark of the Wolves.

Again, hope to see you at Evo 2k11.


Why would I devote the necessary time required to gain enough experience to go to Evo when I don't have fun on the game? I can only play a crappy genre of game so much to prove a point. I'm willing to take part in the challenge that Sugargene backed off from but it is utterly ridiculous to assume I would "go pro" on a game genre I HATE.

Fuuu-

I read this entire thread just to have it derail into something...more...

I'm going to express my opinion here despite the current state of this thread!

I like fighting games. They take skills. Video games are fun. MY MANWICH!

Please child, I'm not angry. Most people should know by now that I enjoy this kind of thing (arguing against the intellectually-challenged). It's easy and makes me feel good about myself. The only problem with arguing with these kinds of people is that eventually they get into this infinite retard-logic loop (where you have found yourself). It gets old when the person I'm arguing with just brings up the same old arguments over and over, and refuses to look at simple logic. Eventually I lose interest and that's pretty much what's happened here. Sorry Xander, you're dumb, you haven't had a single solid point, you've only made yourself look stupid, and you have nothing interesting to say.

Then you lay out some ridiculous challenge that you knew I would decline in a sad and obvious attempt to try and make me look like I wasn't confident in myself. How about I lay out a ridiculous challenge? Xander, I dare you to say something not incredibly stupid and make yourself look like a something other than a tool. Your next post better at least have some sort of witty insult to go with your crappy attempts to look smart.

*EDIT*Guys, just to clear things up, I asked Xander's philosiphy professors, and they all agree that not only is his article well written and edgy, but he's 31337 as well. I've been wrong this whole time. Good thing we have all these made up people to tell us the real truth.

stop with the stupid insults and challenges towards each other in an attempt to make each other look worse, because it's not working.

lol I remember you trying to argue with me because I thought the console wars were stupid and lame and were a product of losers who take their gaming hobby too seriously but I never said that until later on in the thread. In fact, at the beginning of the thread I really didn't say anything that would make anyone want to pick a fight with me but pfffft, I have to admire your skill to completely ruin any chance of a good discussion on a thread. I mean go ahead and say that this is an intelligent argument but we can all clearly see that it's not. You break down and analyze peoples replies and start a stupid fuckfest of retarded long and drawn out replies and gay ass flaming. Now go ahead and please analyze the shit out of this reply. hurry up because I sense a lock coming soon....

Yeah thats why I blocked him. I humbled the hell out of him so he just turns into a jackass desperately trying to analyze shit to save his own ego. He obviously has no friends either on this forum or in the real. I kind of feel sad for that guy even. He obviously takes gaming way too seriously as you said.

I just think, people should argue if they can keep it in good taste and if they can back it up. arguing for the sake of arguing is stupid.

yeah pretty much, I punch out when name calling and slagging becomes the prevailing topics.

Also sometimes people will never agree on something no matter how much it's discussed. You just have to agree to disagree :-)

That's really what I got out of the whole thing.

I’d love to :). I just told you your opinion was stupid, it's something I do, deal with it. You’re the one who chose to argue with me for pages and pages, and if I remember correctly, I'm the one who stopped responding first, right? Don’t hold grudges man, I’m way past our little clash (if you want to call it that).

You blocked me because I made you look stupid multiple times (and I'm sure myself in the process, but that's a risk I'm willing to take :) ). What do you expect? You come out and insult an entire genre of gaming with little to no knowledge on the subject. Did you think people were going to welcome that kind of behavior? Just like maximo you didn't like my response and took offense to it. Fine, but then you keep going back and forth with me, and try to make it look like somehow it’s only my fault. We’re in this together buddy, I wasn’t arguing with myself, you're just as bad as me. Actually worse because at least I know I go too far. I know I argue too much, but it's one of the things I like to do. Generally I prefer it to be an intelligent argument, but you can’t always get what you want :/.

That’s pathetic man, why would you blindly assume that I have no friends? Is it because you’re grasping at straws at this point? I mean, I could go into my social life (which is incredibly healthy, a little too healthy even, half the reason why I’m so broke all the time.), but let’s face it. No one cares, I won’t be able to really prove it without going through a hassle or giving you information I’d rather not (facebook account), and it’s not the point of this thread. You talk about me being desperate? I just call you dumb, and that’s only because you said dumb things. :D

Quote:

Do i take games seriously? Well, yes, I'm a member of a GAMING FORUM, most people here probably are serious about gaming.

Also to everyone that keeps pointing out how long and drawn out my posts are. I know, I’m sure I come off as arrogant sometimes, but that’s what I do when I think I’m right. Prove me wrong, make a good point and I will acknowledge it, trust me. I don’t think there was anything valid in his argument though. I don’t even see the point to his argument, it almost seemed as if he just wanted the attention, so I gave it to him. If it makes me look stupid in the process, I hope you get entertainment value out of it, because it won’t stop me. :) That’s just how I am. :/

okay sugargene, I can respect the fact that you have a lot of confidence and can back up your arguments because well, I use to be exactly like you a little while ago. I loved to argue with people and also came off as arrogant which is one thing I didn't like about myself at the time. It's okay to defend your point of view by arguing as long as you can make an effort to keep it in good taste and not resort to petty insults or insinuating that someone is stupid or whatever it is you said that got to him, because at that point it become painfully obvious that your only method of showing people that you are right and know your stuff is by making someone else feel like a dumb shit. sorry but let's face it, that's exactly what you were doing and once again, there was a time where I was exactly the same. Anyhoo... carry on!

XD

lol were almost at 100 posts, I think the mods haven't locked this because they are intrigued to see where it goes from here.

Yes having to resort to trying to discredit someones argument by insulting them and/or attempting to make them feel like shit goes to show just how weak his arguments really are. I think that is why he always breaks replies up into blocks of quotes and why he can't seem to stop. He knows he's wrong (in the method of his arguing) but his own ego won't let him admit it because he needs to save face. Its kind of like religious people trying to make atheists feel bad by saying they will go to hell or that they are immoral because they have no other method of argument.

He needs to learn how to properly argue. If you think someone has said something stupid, you don't call the person stupid, you call what they say stupid. Calling the person themselves stupid will just make them write of you off as a jerk and listen to nothing you say. That is assuming you really were trying to make a point and not just troll which is looking less and less likely as you continue to reply and continue to sling insults. Hell, you even insulted me for spelling mistakes. There was no other reason for this than to try to make me feel stupid. It had absolutely nothing to do with the argument at hand. Perhaps you love arguing so much because you realize that you need practice at it. If that is so then I am glad that I could help you mature a bit, you obviously need it.

Just look how worked up you got because some guy on the internet wrote an article about why he thinks fighting games suck. You have to insult the person because you don't agree with them? Not only does it show the weakness of your beliefs but also how immature you are as a person.
