This is very true unless you're playing Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War.The Lawn said:
In that event, I have one simple rule...If you disturb me you shall BURN IN THE NAME OF THE EMPEROR.
ugh... all the time...
I hear this statement too often- "Halo ODST takes place after Master Chief is dead"
Rarrgh!
as an avid halo fan, I feel it is my duty to correct them in this. Because of my obsession with correcting brain-dead issues, I find myself with a near constant headache on the subject when it is brought up.

I can't think of anyone who plays games that much, 40 hours, comon I have to go to work and do that many hours, I love games but I could not play that much time, unless I was on Holidays from work, which I currently am and I did play 30 hours of Assassins Creed 2 this week and finished it 100% trophies, time to use my 7 day return policy and get my money back, lolJharry5 said:
Just general things that piss me off about game haters, "Games are for losers and children" "Why dont you learn a real instrument instead of playing that stupid guitar game"
And my mum always complaining games are too gory, I played the GoW demo yesterday, FREAKING EPIC! and she just saw me pick up Helios and rip his head off, and she said "OMG thats horrific, how can you enjoy that" I just laughed
She also hates when games say the MF word, so she hates it when I play Saints Row 2 cuz thats all they say in that game
And yet a single FPS title, crysis, proves that it is, or I could of course built on it and bring up valve. It's also worthwhile to realise that while consoles tend to be more profitable than PCs, this doesn't default PC gaming to unprofitable. It's also fairly likely that if gamers weren't buying games on consoles (which have numerous advantages and disadvantages over PCs) a great many of them would likely be buying them on PCs.DaedalusIcarus said:
Those statistics claiming PC sales are declining are, unfortunately, false. While it is true that boxed game sales on the PC are plummeting proportionally to the rising sales of console titles. I suppose piracy, but like I am constantly reminding people, just because console piracy is less rampant on the internet doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Visit any local open air market and you'll see just how serious of a business it is.. Back on topic, it's also true that causation and correlation are far from being the same thing. The reduced number of boxed sales is far more likely being reduced due to the staggering (and often hard to measure and therefore not taken into account with these statistics) growth of online video game purchases. In essence, all these statistics on video-game sales (and console piracy) are nothing more than pure speculation on the part of those (for reasons unknown) trying to justify why they make the most profitable decisions.
Ultimately, the biggest, most irrefutable argument against video games on the PC being unprofitable is the huge number of games that are ported to the PC. Do you think for a second that companies like Activision or EA would port games like call of duty 12 and need for speed Hot burnout 3 to the PC if they weren't?
"How can this game not be good? Nintendo made it."
Naw, I'm just being cheeky. Or, at least that would be the case if someone hadn't actually said that to me... About Sonic the Hedgehog 2k6.
It's so brainless on so many levels.

That todays video games and cartoons cause violence. That one always bugs me since at least todays media shows consequences. Old thymey cartoons have loads of violence where everyone is just fine in the end. (If I hit someone with an enormous mallet lets see if everythings fine later.)
I only realy hang out with gamers and my parents never cared about my gaming, actualy they have started playing more often. My dad used to say that they will rot my brain but he jokes about it now, I got him hooked on tower defence games (Plants vs Zombies was pure gold for him) and my mom hooked on item searches.
my sister has probably been the most ignorant but she learns quickly.

My younger sister comes down to my basement lair.
her: What are you playing
me: Oblivion
her: Why did you kill that woman!?
me: because she was a bandit and im not sexist.
her: oh
This year
Im playing Call of Duty MW2
her: Hey thats Call of Duty!
me: yes it is (Fully expecting her to complain about the mission i was on: No Russan)
her: Can we play Nazi Zombies?
me:
her: you know the game where---
me: I know what you meant but i didnt know if you knew what you just said.
her: Oh yea, I love Nazi Zombies
me: well thats CoD World at War this is MW2 so no Nazi Zombies
her: Awww, that sucks can we play Halo 3?
me: I left that at college
her: Aww, come on man, you didnt bring any fun ones?
Unknown to me while i was at college she became addicted to CoD:WaW while at her friends house.
Now whenever I go home and play games she wants to play them with me. Im thinking of letting her play Mass Effect 2 when I go home over the summer since she seems to like Sci-Fic and Fantasy games.
The conversion is almost complete [sub]hehehehehe[/sub]

My dad told me one day "Those things will rot your brain." He then proceeded to play 3 hours of Zork! on the computer.
Also, it's not stupid in the same sense, but my friend talks in his sleep and one night while camping he said "...and peach was there, and kirby, and it was kinda kinky..."

"Video Games are for fat guys living in their mother's basements"
"People who play videogames are the one's who became criminals" (Post hoc ergo propter hoc)
People are such idiots, so much to the point I have made a motto, "I will always and consistently be surprised by the stupidity and ignorance of the world."
Unfortunately that is shown correct time and time again. The reason I like this website is because it is one of the few places I can have or read intelligent conversations with people who share a common interest with me, and where the homophobic overly self conscious gamers that I always find in CoD and Halo are looked down upon for giving negative stereotypes on gamers overall. This website is one of my few beacons of hope for the world.

I hate the ignorant bile like 'Games cause more violence and blah blah blah' or the hyprocrisies like 'You play WoW YOU HAVE NO LIFE MAN!' when they play MW2 to the point that they start to sound alot worse than the WoW zombies. Really bothers me D:.
EDIT: Anyone else notice that not only are most of these ignorant statements about gaming are not only ignorant but hyprocritical too?

i think the whole 'Resident evil 5 is racist so i wont play it' scenario is pretty bad but has some logic. however, i heard someone say that they had a friend who would disown them if they played it. it may have been something i heard on here but i could be wrong. you may disagree but when put into context and you realise that it is juat a game it does seem pretty ignorant.
I was playing Uno on Xbox live with my webcam hooked up but I didn't really want to show my face so I wore a hockey mask and I join a game with two guys and a girl. White guys, latino girl. They went on about how I was a freak and a loser for playing Uno. (the game THEY were playing also) And how I was probably a virgin and whatnot. It was quite annoy.
But all and all I just figured they were trying to entertain themselves so whatever.
