I'm going to make a collection of qoutes from sane gamers and keep them in this thread.

If anyone wants to join me, go on ahead.



I'll start with this one:

I own all three systems, and would like to say that the whole "real gamer" is a sad worthless attempt to make some odd arian race of gamer. People that feel the need to segregate the gaming community really show that they either have no life or a passion for burning crosses on peoples lawns. It about having fun people. No matter what you own. never100

The sane ones are the fanboys and trolls. The ones who want everyone to get along are clearly the insane ones, seeing as they somehow managed to remain ignorant of the astounding propensity humans have to fight and even kill each other for every little thing when there isn't an overarching rule of law keeping them in check. If you're dumb enough to miss pretty much every page in the history books and pretend like video game preference is an episode of Barney, you are insane.

So what he's saying is that there's no difference between someone who's buying catz 2 and the guy next in line with Halo 3 in his hand?

What a joke.

Considering there are probably thousands of people worldwide involved in fistfights in bars over sports teams as we type - not even mentioning the various ideological wars being waged which boil down to "We made the right choice of beliefs, you made the wrong one, so you have to die" - what we see here is actually a very mild case of what any sane, observant person sees to be obvious. People fight over preferences. The really sane ones don't deny it and just join in in exercising this base drive in a way that doesn't get them hurt or killed - like this forum.

By the way, based on your avatar I see you like anime... Idiot.

While that is true, taste is a very big difference. Enough to put you in a category totally seperate from another.

It's sort of like preppy people and emos.

It does have anime like art (or not even that, if you ask some people), but the game itself is not actually anime.

It's not even based off a real anime.

Lies and desperate rationalizations. I am right, and you should be ridiculed for your wrongness.

It's pretty obvious you didn't actually mean that, so what's this point you're trying to get across?

The ones that doesn't learn from history, and allows it torepeatwould be the dumb ones. People that feel the need to start a war over the dumbest things are the dumb ones. I don't want perfect. I don't want Barney. I do want something that doesn't need a war. We have enough war at the moment.

That is not in any way a sane quote in the OP. Its actually rather pathetic and self-serving. There is no way....simply none....that gaming should ever be seen as so self important that factions within it are compared to the KKK or Hitler's Germany. Just none.

I don't care if it was hyperbole, it is still insane to make the comparison between those very real and terrible events to something as universally frivolous as gaming. Sorry.

Yes, Hitler was a bad person, world war II was a terrible event for many. Horrific even. I'm glad they didn't turned it into a video-game many times over for cheap entertainment value.

While a valid point to a point, that was not the purpose of my post, nor does it lessen the point that I was making.
