Dude, free money! Quit crying!

Me too. I'm hoping to pick it up during Gamestop's gamedays sales.

Hey now, superior in what way?

Oh snap
Oh snap!
OH SNAP!
 
[quote name='dmaul1114']And you do any differently. All you ever do is get on your soap box and berate others here for their opinions/views for the most part. It's a web forum. Most everyone is here to spout off their own opinions. You're the last person that should be calling anyone pretentious or pompous.



I said I didn't purposely mean to make claims of superiority. Do I think Stone beer is more sophisticated than Pabst? Sure. Is a good, serious movie, or indie film or foreign film or documentary more sophisticated that Live Free or Die hard? Definitely. Is sushi more sophisiticated than McDonalds? Absolutely.

But there's no superiority there. Everyone should do what makes them happy as life is short and that's all that matters. And it would take a pretty foolish person to make claims of superiority based on their hobbies and tastes.

Yes I'd say the person that likes fine beer/wine, ethnic food and art flicks has more sophisticated/refined tastes that the person that drinks Bud Light, watches Rambo and who's idea of a great meal out is Applebees. But I wouldn't say the person is superior or make any other kind of value judgment.



Oh there's more to it than aging for sure. For me it was aging, education and moving from a rural area to the city and getting more exposure to culture.

Anyway, I'm tired of listening to all your bullshit sociological views on crap so I'm done reading and responding to your posts. Good luck on your job hunt. Spending less time pontificating on here and more time beefing up your CV would be a good start.[/QUOTE]

C'mon, don't get your feelings hurt because I like to see people use proper words to say what they actually mean. I dislike it when people say one thing with their use of language, get called out on it, and get crabby, defensive, and personal.

I'll buy you a beer at ASC in Philly. But it has to be a PBR.

Will you buy me one, Myke? :wave:
 
[quote name='tiredfornow']TheManaKnight - what would you do if Sony called it a day and surrendered to the obviously superior Microsoft Xbox 360 gaming console and the Nintendo Wii family activity?[/QUOTE]



He'd denounce the people who run Sony, then talk about how the real Sony comes from within.


jeez myke, get off the guy's balls. he clearly didn't mean "sophisticated" as in "more sophisticated than anyone who is reading this." Using it like "I used to eat mcdonald's everyday, now I grill my own burgers, thus my taste is becoming more sophisticated" is perfectly. but I guess people have issues with the word.

Myke is defending our unsophisticated honor.

can't we have both? Can't I drink an Old Style while watching a Tarkovsky flick? CAN'T I??!

can't I rag on the libs who are just as prejudiced as the conservatives they denounce while playing CoD4 and shooting up muslims?

Clearly not my good man. Hey... what would be considered a sophisticated taste in gaming by society's standards? Well, not society, how about gamers instead.

fuck this shit. I'm gonna pick my nose while I'm at my macbook in DEFIANCE

edit: the question-- ummm...braid, SotC...well, anything, if you apply some critical theory to it. like "Zizek would be a big fan of crackdown because blah blah" or something. or "there really is some Freudian trauma resolution in GTA4..." and then your friends will all leave the room
 
I dunno why, but I must play WWE SvR 2009 after COD WaW. Somethin' about that game feels just so...heavy (yeah, I meant COD WaW).

I unlocked Flair last night...WHooooo!

Exactly. But hey if people want to go on hissy fits over semantics, so be it.
 
[quote name='mykevermin']No need to drop the price. Sell it at $500 and it'll rocket up a thousand percent this year alone.

This was probably the funniest thing I've seen/read all day.

Everyone that doesn't love U2 can suck it. They're magnificent.
No Line on The Horizon is magical....


:)

I'm also seeing Coldplay in July! MUAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA
 
Agreed. Love the new U2, and also seeing Coldplay in May. :D

Definitely wan to catch U2 if possible as I've never seen them live. But no dates announced in my neck of the woods yet--or most with only 1 Boston and 1 NYC show announced for the US so far.

It's awesome because we seem to have very similar tastes in everything and you're almost twice my age.
EPICNESS.
 
[quote name='FriskyTanuki']When do you want to play Ohio State, Azumang?[/quote]
You available tomorrow?
Sometime (EST) between 7-9 is probably best. Otherwise Thursday could work (maybe).
But I can probably flex for most of the day tomorrow. Tuesday is elite.
 
That should work. If you send a pm around an hour before, that'd be great. Somethings I'll never forget, but somethings I forget incredibly quickly.


I can't wait to get hated for this, but Flo Rida's new album is out tomorrow!!!
THAT'S RIGHT, I FRIGGIN WENT THERE.
 
[quote name='Azumangaman']Don't hate.
Jest is Canadian and he is less crazy.
Honestly though, most of us are fucking awesome.[/QUOTE]

idk man...that dirty Silverstein band came outta there
 
[quote name='refusedchaos']idk man...that dirty Silverstein band came outta there[/quote]
There is an exception to every rule :)
And I'm going to send you a PM, and you're going to help me.
Cuz you are a fun dude :)
 
So I got back today, played a little, including Devil May Cry 3. It's been about 4 months since I even played DMC4, so I was surprised when I got past the boss I had trouble with last, the half-naked, orange-haired Witch. I also went through a couple of more levels, but the game is still the toughest game I've played, especially since I'm going through on Yellow (Gold is easier, and they don't explain that well).

Less crazy is still crazy.

But you have Kristen Kreuk and Maria Ozawa, so y'all can't be that bad. :)

I think it might be the beginning of the end of my 2nd 360 here. When I turned it on a few minutes ago, when it went from the 360 logo to the Dash, it was interrupted by a blue screen for about a second. :(
