Heya, I've had some annoying comments in the past, but one I can remember recently is that I was a loser because I played Rock Band instead of learning how to play an actual guitar.

But here's something nice that could help stop some rageface on here, my mom is one of those few wonderful parents that (even if it's only a little bit) gets video games. If my siblings are running late on their chores/homework and she tells them to get to it, she will wait until they can save or pause first. She understands the sacredness of saves.

That's actually kinda beautiful *sniffle*

Yeah, beutiful!
My parents never did that -.-

sorry if something similar has been said before but :
"Hopefully you'll grow out of it"
I've had this said to me multiple times, and it encompasses the root of basically everything that's wrong with societies view of gaming.

 

[Shane Foley]

"Metal Gear Solid 4 has some of the most amazing and well-directed writing and cutscenes of any game ever"

wat

 

[Wrds]

This one guy tried to convince me that the only video games worth playing are fighting games.

 

[Judgement101]

"The Xbox 360 has no backwards compatibility"

Yes it does, it just sucks at backwards compatibility.

 

[brodie21]

someone once commented to me that those who play video games have no lives
this coming from an avid Yu-gi-oh! player

 

[subject_87]

The other day, someone said that 'video games are for people who have no life'. I was going to launch into an Extra Credits-quoting spiel about why he's wrong, but then I lost him.

Had a guy try to tell me once that Halo was an RPG.

Ihat?.. But?.. Ugh, I'm not even going to bother

The most ignorant thing anyone has ever said to me about video games is,... what was it oh yes. The following took place in my advanced science class.Me and my lab partner were working on a project that involved having common sense, something the three large noisy sports buffs on the other side of the counter didn't seem have. They were mixing various compounds in no particular order and getting thick mixtures of brown goo everywhere. As I look up from my experiment I ask the guys if the could do the experiment properly as the were making a mess. In response one of them looks up from their mess and says

"Why don't you shut up Evan, what do you know about science? All you ever do is play video games. You probably won't even make it through school you stupid loser."

Having learned to ignore people who stupidity borders on that of a mental handicap I return to what I was doing.

The guy returns to talking to his friends laughing at what he said to me. They all break into laughter right before their oversized experiment explodes into their open mouths. Unfortunatly for them the compounds we were working with that day included Copper sulphate and other indegestible things, which then caused them to break into fits of vomiting soon after.

Sorry for writing so long. I hope you all enjoyed my story. it's true. and it was funny.

I got a good laugh out of that. It reminds me of something similar that happened in a lab I was in. We were doing some experiment that involved alcohol (can't remember what exactly it was we were doing) and some guy that it would be fun to melt the top of his pen with the Bunsen burner. Needless to say it caught fire and in a panic he tried to douse the fire in the beaker of alcohol thinking it was water. You can imagine what happened next.

"The PS3 is gay"

what? they were stating a fact.

Here's a little spiel I got from a PC elitist after I asked on the Bethesda forums if it was possible to apply FO3 G.E.C.K mods to the 360 version (all quoted exactly):

"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA another console spoiled user wanting the advantages of PC... Keep dreaming mate...
L2 buy games for PC the TRUE GAMING Plataform "

He then went on to say how:

"you guys dont have to worry about tweaking, dont have to worry about keeping the pc in check with defragmentation, dont have to spend too much money on a decent gaming rig.... all you do is buy a noobish console, turn it on, and play, with great graphics and no further hassle.... That makes you spoiled relatively to pc gamers. We getting mods is the just reward for the hasle that pc gaming can be sometimes...that and for the exclusivity game issues"

And this is why I hate PC Gamer elitists: it was my first ever experience with one.

 

[Tornd]

Anything said by Bobby Kotick. I know it's too easy, but I really do despise him. PC gaming is dead? 12 million WoW players - AND THAT'S YOUR COMPANY!

 

[DeathsHands]

One guy who basically believed the superiority of the 360 over anything else. Basically ranted on about how PCs and somesuch are useless and too expensive. I now pretend he does not exist.

 

[PhunkyPhazon]

My brother insisted you could get Mario games on the PS2. He "saw it at the store once". Uh, no. No you didn't. Not anywhere that sells LEGAL merchandise, anyways.

 

[WorldCritic]

"Games are only good if they're on the DS or made by Capcom and also I've never lost against a boss before so I don't get why you're having so much trouble."

This coming from my ex-girlfriend who was mostly concerned with playing The Sims on her DS (apparently they have a Sims game on the DS and I never heard about it) while I was stuck fighting a boss from Ninja Gaiden. Tell me how that's fair.

 

[Doctor Glocktor]

"All the Pokemon after second gen suck."

Honest to God, this pisses me off so bad. So very, very bad.

 

[LightOfDarkness]

Anything concerning video games on FOX news.
PC gaming from my friends. They're great, but christ they couldn't be any more ignorant of PCs.
"Durr it's hella expensive liek 10K for a decent gaming PC and it's for uber nerds only and it requires 15 years of experience before you get decent."

Then they show me a 360 no-scope of Black Ops claiming it requires skill.
Conveniently forgetting about auto-aim.
And that where the bullet goes is all luck.

 

[PinkiePyro]

"pokemon is the work of the devil"
"minecraft must be stupid becuse its graphics are stupid"

"the wii is stupid and is for little kids there is no contest Xbox 360 is clearly the perfect system" to which I simply said Oh yea? red ring of death... that shut them up (to be clear I am sure the x-box 360 is a nice system but its far from perfect)

this wasnt said to me but I thought this was stupid none the less
me and my friends were hanging out at my house and two of them nearly had a fist fight becuse appernty they were talking about world of warcraft one of them was hord and the other and the other was alliance or something all I know as I had to make a new rule for gathings at my house which is no talking about world of warcraft
