I'll laugh when something is funny and not about a subject I know almost nothing about.HigherTomorrow said:
Or an experiment to see who actually reads the OP. smearyllama did it with sexual innuendos a few weeks ago. Either way it will be entertaining to read the thread.Generic Gamer said:
I couldn't stop laughing at this it was pretty funny. Also on a side note for people who got angry don't feel bad it's pretty much a fill in the blank cookie cutter quote you can use just replace "Xbox fanboys" with "_______ fanboys." Finally if you don't know who is being talked about then just look it up on wikipedia.
Actually, even if you DO read the OP, it still comes off like he's calling out people who own an Xbox as morons. I mean, I don't think he IS, but I understand other people interpreting it that way.RedEyesBlackGamer said:
Quite possibly. I just know that Nietzsche was a nihilist and I think nihilism is kind of sad. Which isn't funny. But yeah, not knowing about the subject probably doesn't help. That's probably why a lot of times Zero Punctuation is sometimes funnier if I've played the game he is talking about.Abandon4093 said:
Yep, you got me there, I'm definitely a troll. It's an obvious joke that everyone is taking too seriously.spartan231490 said:
It has already been explained, it is a joke thread.qwertyz said:
The title suggests it is going to be a flame-war/trolling subject, whereas the actual content of the thread is completely irrelevant to the title itself.
It's amusing for the person who posted it, and all those who get the joke, to see all the peoples reactions to it, who don't get the joke.

And once more I weep for the education system.
Oh, and to all the offended X-Box users - I'd point out that most of the PS3 users who came to this thread didn't know what it was talking about either.
Which only makes me cry harder.
Philosophy - the foundation of modern society. Go read a book, for gods sake, people! And that goes for both X-Box, PS3, and PC gamers - all of you!
Except for the 14 year old above. To you, I say you can either get a jump on things (and go read the aforementioned book) or you can just wait until College (since your high school will likely drop the ball and skip the foundation of modern thought). **sigh**
It was slightly amusing the first time. Doing the exact same thing (same thread style) 16 minutes later is not amusing. People cheering him on doesn't help and just encourages more people to make similar threads. Do you really want the forums overrun with threads with misleading titles?Legion said:
I think I can understand your frustration, but from where I'm sitting I feel a little insulted. I'm not if that was your intent, but you should be aware that is how you are coming across, as kind of an elite jerk. I personally believe that philosophy should be taught more in schools and I have at least some basic experience with the philosophy. I've taken courses that dealt with Plato and all the Greek philosophers, and one of my classes touched on existentialism, which I didn't find very appealing. Nihilism just didn't happen to be a part of that and from little I know about it, that doesn't appeal to me either.Bara_no_Hime said:
Not my fault my government thinks buying expensive stealth fighters is more important than education. I'm also not about to go reading into topics I really don't care about.Bara_no_Hime said:
Oh and your comment made me think of this:
The stupidest people are the ones who piggyback off the great works of others.
By name dropping a great philosopher the OP hopes others will think of him in a similar light. In reality the opposite is most likely to occur.
PS: This entire thread was created by the OP in order to troll. Trolling is a bannable offense, everyone please remember to report trolls as they pop up.

I give it a week--if that. I'll bring up smearyllama's threads again. He did a couple, we had a laugh for a few days and the threads stopped. I see this going the same way.Scorched_Cascade said:
