Xbox fanboys, tell me something.

[Grey_Focks]

...I approve this message, and I think this site really could've used this right now. Lightening the mood is always appreciated.

 

[Jamboxdotcom]

hilarious! now, i may be over thinking this, but is it possible that wrapped inside this non sequitur, there may be a grain of truth? a consideration of the self-delusion inherent in any fanboyism?

 

[Barziboy]

"Oh I get it. Very Clever. How does that make you feel?"
"How does what make me feel?"
"Being Clever."
"It feels good."
"Good, keep it up. Right up. Now a question of Etiquette: As I pass, do I give you the Ass or the Crotch?"

 

[Vibhor]

Oh I see the pattern in your threads.
This one made me laugh my ass off.
Tell me Americans, tell me.

 

[PhiMed]

You fell for it.

Learn to laugh once in a while, Christ.

I'll laugh when something is funny and not about a subject I know almost nothing about.

I get the feeling "subjects you know almost nothing about" encompasses a lot of subjects, friend.

The fact that he's talking high philosophy in a thread where the subject line indicated another flame-bait console war thread IS the joke. You obviously didn't get it. Too bad for you, because it's pretty funny.

What does Xbox have to do with Sartre, someone explain please?

 

[thenewprince]

You sir are incredible talented for this. LMAO!!!! lol I HAVE to show this to my class lol.

 

[The Human Torch]

As much as I loathe to use this meme, it's very appropriate now:

What is this? I don't even...

 

[Lexodus]

Hilarious, man. And what's almost as funny is all the XBOX fanboys who are, in fact, too stupid to realise you're trolling/joking. I laughed, hard

OT: Perhaps he was experimenting with drugs at the time.

 

[Lim3]

Yeah well.... at least Microsoft didn't give some hackers all our details.

Yet anyway.

 

[KefkaCultist]

Damn, you people getting all offended and shit need to chill out because he isn't insulting anyone. He gave the thread a title that he knew would attract people then asked the "xbox fanboys" an extremely in depth question which didn't pertain to xbox or any form of fanboyism at all. Sheesh... It'd be like if I was like, "hey democrats, tell me about Shakespearian literature."

Learn to laugh a little folks.

EDIT: As far as the OP goes, I didn't understand anything of what was said so... I'm dumb lol.

 

[RedEyesBlackGamer]

What does Xbox have to do with Sartre, someone explain please?

The juxtaposition between the title and actual content of the OP.

 

[Chromanin]

You know when I read this topic title, I thought, "Nothing good can come of this."

I was wrong. This topic is one of the best laughs I've had on the Escapist.

 

[Sentox6]

I'm fourteen, and what is this?

I'll laugh when something is funny and not about a subject I know almost nothing about.

**sigh**

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**

Oh please.

You "weep" for the education system because people are apparently unfamiliar with such material as Nietzsche's nihilistic drivel? I celebrate it.

Irrespective of our opinions, though, asserting that people are unread because they're unfamiliar with figures like Jean-Paul Sartre is highly disingenuous. We're hardly talking about Plato or Machiavelli here, whose names have greater recognition in popular consciousness. While philosophy is an important part of societal development across the ages, it's hardly the sole foundation either. How familiar are you with political theory? Nuclear physics? Computer hardware architecture? Economic theory? Bio-engineering? Should I "sigh" at your probable relative ignorance in one or more of these fields? No, because doing so would be condescending and hypocritical.

To be fair the OP could have put "PS fanboys" or "PC elitists" or similar and would have gotten pretty similar reactions, just from different users. Kneejerk rage is one monopoly Microsoft does not have.

I´ll quote Satre here, he said `pomme de terre´ and so should you good sir.
