    WTF am I "worrying" about? Someone mentions him or something he says and then I respond with how much of an idiot I think he is on a message board and I'm "worrying". I'm not making threads devoted to him. I don't lose any sleep over him. How is one of us responding to any ridiculous thing he says any different than you pointing out that we don't like what he says?

    And yeah, I think the M$ points system is dumb. Using 400 points for $5 is fucking retarded and just a way to confuse the consumer. But that isn't my point here. My point is purposely making sale prices a total that you know it will leave the customer with leftover points that they can basically just wipe their digital asses with. And yes, I avoid these sales like the plague. Fuck that bullshit. Why don't they just make it 473 points for chirssakes? You're fucked either way. But I guess that would be a bit too transparent for their diabolical plans to screw as many people over as possible.

    So let me get this straight Seth, you can come on here and complain about something and it's cool. But when someone else does it they're wasting their time? I'm confused.
    Huh? Sometimes I'm convinced you either don't read my posts, or are just constantly looking for something to get upset about. For one, you take everything too personally. My opinion is that life is too short to get all wrapped up and worried about something like what Pachter says, because I don't see the point unless I'm investing in them. If you want to, be my guest. Like many things, people will behave or act a certain way that makes no sense to me, just as I'm sure things I do make no sense to them. It's not personal, I just don't get it. But I will say, the argument of "The internet is supposed to be about calling people out on dumb shit" or whatever, is so dumb and tired. The internet is whatever you want to make of it. If you want it to be about calling out what you consider dumb shit, maybe you'd get along better at Neogaf than you think.

    The difference between you and I is that I have my beliefs on things but make it a point to illustrate that they're my beliefs. Even when people like you claim I have poor taste just because I like different games than you, I never take a it personally because my tastes are my tastes and my opinions are my opinions. You seem to constantly be looking for something to rattle your sabres about, even if it's something that the small group of people here have seen you get wound up about a gazillion times already (*cough* MS points *cough). All I said and all I keep saying is this is a topic that baffles me that it raises this kind of vitriol. Some dude said something that turned out to be wrong/you think is stupid: MUST TYPE ANGRILY ABOUT IT. Doesn't it ever get old or tiring? How many times can you go on your MS spacebucks rant before you decide "I guess at some point I should either stop buying MS points, or stop complaining about it because it's obviously not going anywhere"?

      That's pretty much what I figured, I've had the thing for almost 6 years and only ever had 1 issue with it so I figured it was bound to happen at some point....the shitty part is I can't afford to get another one :bucky:

            Its a shame that there hasn't been a good NASCAR game on this current gen.

              Did anyone here play DmC? I just picked it up with a free Redbox rental, installing now. I personally liked but didn't love DMC1&3, and could never get the hang of them well enough to feel like I had any control of what was going on most of the time (more so with 3). Given the derision with this one, I'm really curious how much of an abomination it truly is.

                I have it sealed...I am thinking I want to play on PC. I heard good things for multiple interweb sites.

                  I hear it's gorgeous on the PC. I only just started on 360 and man, it's exhausting. I really like the art style though and the story so far is stupid good.

                      Nice! I bought this game a couple of nights ago and played just far enough to unlock my "adult form" and thought it was great. Good to know that it holds the nostalgia well. I was worried going in that it was going to be a bit top heavy (considering you have like 4, JRPG nerd LOL moments in like the first 10 minutes).

                        ALL YOU GOTTA DO IS CHECK OUT THE VSN ARCADE PODCAST REVIEW OF DMC !!




                        Its the same game as the japanese one's; just easier, with slightly simplified combat and with some better storytelling.

                        Most of the venom towards the game stems from the western take on Dante

                                aye. for a game thats only a few hours long (took me about 5 or so) it is very fun. unfortunately the diablo homage is probably the weakest segment and they seemed to run out of steam towards the end of the game the beginning and middle parts of the game are excellent. glad i came across the game.
