Nope. I will get a PS3 soon though.
But I don't think I'm going to get Heavy Rain.

Someone who spent lots of time pacing today?

Nope.
Someone who agrees that a guy I was having a conversation about hypocrisy with went to far when he told me he was a psychologist and studied me? (It was a big conversation, if you actually want to see it just ask.)

Fellow zygmites, now is the time of our revenge, their line is falling and their moral is weak!
For too long, we have been exiled by the denizens of gaming land, mocked, laughed and demonized by those who would once have been our brothers in another age.
They thought they could mock us by inviting us back to their lands in a pretence of fair competition, but little do the fools know we have been waiting for such a moment for generations!

Now we have returned from the forsaken territory, our numbers shall cover the lands, the fumes of our engines of war shall darken the sky and the cries and moans of the fallen will be carried far beyond the gaming land, so the gods themselves may know our fury!

Burning the citadel of NCsoft and razing the kingdom of IW was but the first step of our nefarious plan.
The fools thought they could easily beat us, pah! How we have made them eat their arrogance.
Once we break through the resistance here and desecrate the lands of rockstar, then we will reach the heart of gaming land itself and face off against one of the stronger kingdoms, turbine or square-enix.
Should we vainquish them then our ultimate prize shall almost be in our grasp...

Forwards zymgites, see their fear in their eyes! Charge and ride them down where they stand! Their disorganized resistance is nothing against the power of the HORDE.
Leave none standing! Revenge is eternal and so is our hatred! Give up all hope people of gaming land, for your end has arrived!
Ok, seriously, what? Either you are joking or just being weird, and if the latter you seriously need to go outside and stop roleplaying.
Only a bit of fun my good man, why so serious?
So it's funny and ok to do it if it's versus zygma but not ok if I decide to act out the part of the villain a lot of you are making out zygma to be?
+1 for escapist forumite hipocrisy and a big facepalm from me
I was just wondering, it seemed like a lot of work for a joke, and calling escapists hypocritical isn't going to help you much here, we don't take kindly to insulting. In all fairness I don't think zynga is the villain, I just don't respect their games at the same level has professional games, and a lot of the new people coming to support zynga are, frankly, idiots.
It's not anymore then others have written ¬¬ Seriously you are being suuuch a killjoy
As for calling escapist forumites hypocritical, I call it as I see it and this is one of the negative traits I have noticed overall in my experience here, one which you have reinforced.
Hell look at you saying "we dont take kindly to insulting" when you weren't exactly treating me with respect and make the crude generalization that people supproting zynga are quite, frankly, idiots.
I stand by my impression, it looks to be accurate so far.
I think you are slightly misinterpreting the definition of hypocrisy, there's a great difference between how I am insulting, which is basically saying in general, a lot of the new people are poorly behaved, which I generalised into the term "idiot," you on the other hand, have just flat out insulted the escapists, saying we are all hypocritical. I also think, the fact that I have been here for over a year and have not had any admin backlash yet you have been here barely any time at all and have been suspended, obviously states that I am better mannered then you, and if I am being hypocritical, the level of hypocrisy is minimal seeing has I am not insulting at the same level has you. I also think if we should just leave it here, because we obviously can't agree.
(Just to clear something up, I am aware you have been here a while, I was stating the fact that you have barely any posts.)

No misinterpretation, my own view of hipocrisy seems to be a stricter one.
"x are frankly,idiots" =/= a lot of the new people are poorly behaved
"+1 for x forumite hipocrisy" =/= more evidence of a hypocritic tendency for for a lot of forumites here (not at all the same as a flat out insult. Am i not allowed to give my impressions of the community I happen to be in, whether good or bad? I can say some positives if you want)
Guess we are both guilty of not exactly being clear on communication.

If you really must know about old sign up date+few posts, I mainly joined for last years march madness and didn't feel comfy enough to stay for various reasons, back this year.

As for having admin backlash or not, I see it another way: I dont care about it and you evidently do, since you're bringing it up!
Now we come to my favorite part: . "OBVIOUSLY states that I am better mannered then you, and if I am being hypocritical, the level of hypocrisy is minimal seeing has I am not insulting at the same level has you. I also think if we should just leave it here, because we obviously can't agree"
Another tendency I noticed for SOME escapist forumites (enough that I think of it as a common attitude and contributes to me preferring to be on other forums where I feel this attitude is less prevalent) is to write a TL DR and slide in some snide remarks or acting condescending while maintaining an air of intellectual superiority (I could write entire poems about this attitude!)

And in this case my Research Methods teacher would be having a go at you for making such assumptions: "Just because there's a correlation does not mean there is a causation!" as he constantly shouts at us. Meaning that you MIGHT have had no mod warnings cos of your impeccably good manners, but it doesn't prove it. An alternative explanation for example might be the TL DR+ condescending attitude and remarks is light enough to not be worthy of a report, but strong enough to still give you a buzz of "yeah, im better then this random person on net, yey me!"

If you really wanted to part ways and end the conversation amicably, something along the lines of "I think if we should just leave it here"+something friendly to show your a "cool" person maybe.
Instead the way it was built seems like you wanted to act the sage, slide in a little slap of your own, then end conversation with +1 epeen.

And it's by this point I decided to mail this instead :)
And to save you some time and since its just us 2 now: im a psychology student, I love to study ppl and analyze social tendencies and attitudes.
In this case, you got an analysis of the impression you gave me ^^ Probably doesn't correspond to how you act in rl but ask yourself if this net persona is really the one you want.
Someone who thinks I was in the wrong?
