[Grefter]

Well it is fitting that I start this up since I am the one that spams it.

Bionic Breakthrough. It has a silly and soon to be purged RI topic from 2001 where a rather funny poster named The One Truth did a RI topic about Scum. I posted in it then, had some fun with it, and popped in over the years to make sure the topic survived.

Naturally some idiot found it, linked to it on CE, and it got flooded. While this is stupid enough, the people in morning over a topic that existed years before they had an inkling about Gamefaqs is even stupider. It sucks all around and everyone involved needs a bat to the face.

I should actually invite TOT to the DL. He's pretty funny.

Oh, where to begin.

Women are ultra-impressionable beings, and therefore are easily controlled by aliens and the elite. The main purpose of women on Earth (that is, what aliens have programmed them to do) is to enslave men via relationships. Women are obsessed with relationships and love (due to alien programming), and don't care about anything else in life. They would have men believe that being in a relationship is one of the most important things in existence, not realizing that men couldn't care less about being in a relationship--and rightfully so. Furthermore, women force men to waste their precious time and resources on the pursuit, acquisition, and retainment of them. This demonic game has gone on for far too long and has no end in sight. So, you can blame women for the downfall and utter hopelessness of humanity.

Another thing that makes women insufferable is the fact that they are, essentially, babies. That is, they possess the emotional maturity of a 4-year-old boy. Women cry, throw fits, and need men to take care of them. Um, an adult shouldn't need someone else to take care of them.

All in all, women promote the enslavement, rather than the liberation, of humanity.

Damn you, women! You and your lack of emotional maturity and being a slave to the alien masters who give us the illusion of the Earth! I think we found someone less likely to get laid than Zenthor.

Also, bright letters on pure black background. Eeeeeeew.

Ahahhahaha.  Rogue Galaxy has some problems.  Graphics is not freaking one of them.

Grats on being superficial.

We have a winner. This fine gent does such things as completely ignore the relative value of stats and characters, the number of characters a character has, *AND* breaks out the 'this game has no challenge' argument after trying to make a lengthy failure objective argument for someone's in game value.  Trashing Cador and then hyping Shred is all kinds of psyduck to start with, before you ignore the completely idiotic attempts at justification of the logic. Winning quotes:

You don't have to defend your borders. You could let people take over. A country's starting position has nothing to do with the usefullness of it's knights.

YES, SURELY YOU DON'T NEED TO ACTUALLY DEFEND BORDERS WHICH IS IN FACT ONE OF THE CENTRAL GAMEPLAY POINTS.

Shred is good, just not in Rune Power. That's never an issue for me, because I greatly restrict the monsters I can use anyway everytime I play anymore. I really didn't even notice Shred's terrible RP.

To quote Notti: The thing is... there are many players (for many games) where the supporters for certain fighters/characters often say "Mr.Wimp requires skillz!" (implies: "You just don't own like I do."). That often be scrub talk.

There is no challenge in playing Brigandine, period. No matter what country.

We have a winner.

I guess this is where all the stereotypes of emo kids come from. I think this is the first time I've ever heard "Nobody can understand me" in an unironical sense. Or maybe the whole site is nothing but one big giant piss-take. That's what I'm hoping for anyway.

Mass Effect has explicit sex scenes in it and even homosexual relationships!!!!!!!!!!!

Bob Waliszewki, media specialist with Focus on the Family, told Cybercast News Service, "We never shy away from sexuality in the media. It's just a question of how is that sexuality portrayed. One can use the media to portray some very healthy forms of sexuality. And when done wisely with taste and age-appropriateness, it can be done well."

"Unfortunately," he said, "Mass Effect doesn't do that and even goes so far as to allow homosexuality to be on par with heterosexuality and heterosexuality outside of its proper context of marriage."

Actually you see a butt cheek and you can potentially have sex with an alien (who's species only has one sex if you want to get down to the nitty gritty).  Butt cheeks were not explicit the last time I looked.  The scene is maybe on par with Titanic at worst?  The game is rated the way it is anyway because of the violence.

Fuck the media.


Edit - So hey there is another one linked to on Penny Arcade that is just as fucking stupid.

Now if I have trouble with my son taking his James Bond 007 games a little too emotionally, imagine the powerful effect that hormones add to the mix when the player's own character is copulating like jack rabbits with super-models, actresses, and anyone else they can spend the patience to create, name, and "put into play."

THERE IS ONE SCENE IN THE WHOLE GAME

Edit - Wait I am wrong, apparently there was some more in even more out of the way places than I did when I completed the game and all of it's side quests.

There it is in all of it's amazing HARDCORE glory.

This all fails.

Promise me you'll never resort to this, Gref.

[Grefter]

Guy that posted that shit is a douche even by NMA standards and everyone there knows it and distance themselves from him.  I like a large portion of the human population distance myself from NMA forum regulars who are only slightly above the SA forums on the feeding chain by virtue of SA forumites being completely and totally irrational on the subject of Fallout fans.

[AAA]

I probably should be more irritated by the guy hitting his girlfriend, but for some reason the guy he's quoting bugs me more. So what, you're warning people not to like the game or else you won't be their friend anymore? The fuck is your problem, asshole?

[Grefter]

Yeah, people can like shit all they want and I don't care since if I give two shits about them they have some redeeming qualities other than their taste.
