Haha, well myself being a boxer in high school running 3 miles a day and being so toned that women would break their necks to look at my pecks, I guess I can pretend like we've got that much in common, giving you the benefit of the doubt. I can do that, because I'm secure enough to be the bigger man here. I've even had a female officer had to compliment my physique. Also, I read books for knowledge not for pleasure. I feel a sense of accomplishment when I learn things which are actually useful. But the way you speak and reference really oddball story books just reeks of 'Geek' to me and anyone else who's got the misfortune of being within ear shot as you spout this nonsense. Why don't you read a book on how to pick up chicks? Do they make those?
3 whole miles? What are you? A machine?! Please, when your 10 mile run time is an hour, we'll talk. Boxing aside (a sport literally everyone in my neighborhood takes up when growing up), I remain unimpressed as my level of physical fitness far surpasses yours. When you're buddy rushing with 60 lbs of gear, closing with and destroying the enemy by fire and maneuver and repelling enemy assault with fire and close quarters combat, and you've stared into the abyss and made it blink, we can begin to speak to one another as equals. Until such time, you're so ridiculously far beneath me physically that it'd be laughable if it wasn't so sad that you think you're in shape. Hell, you brought up high school. Way to peak, kiddo.
In regard to books, I don't know that I can explain the value or knowledge inherit to them. Especially not to someone like you. If you don't get it now, you never will. That's why you're reliving your glory days from high school while flipping burgers.
And no, I'm not a TES fanatic by any means. Just because I'll argue in favor of my point, which I know to be correct, doesn't make me a fanatic fanboy. I'd argue this adamently about anything which I know to be true.
What is your point, anyway?
I absolutely do know how mods affect Skyrim. Sigh. It's not a hard concept to grasp. There's big mods and there's small mods. Total conversions, and minor tweaks. I evade no questions, though I do try to focus on those with which there might be some purpose to arguing about.You can continue believing that there's not over 100 hours worth of content, (which there is and I've seen it myself), but I know you to be incorrect. You're insane to be arguing this adamently about an ASSUMPTION you have.
See, you just told me what you think mods are, and you're still completely and utterly wrong. You have absolutely no idea what TES modding community consists of, what theyre capable of, what they've added, what they've fixed, what they've changed or altered or improved. You simply do not know, and yet you insist on opening your fat neckbeard mouth. And then I'm somehow insane for a) playing the game longer than you and to a much greater degree on a system that actually shows what the game is capable of and b) arriving at a different conclusion based on that far more comprehensive experience. I'd pull the "pot, meet kettle" card, but you're so far removed from reality that I can't bear to compare you to me in that regard.
And no, I wasn't projecting. When I was in Job Corps I used to run 3.5 miles a day, go eat protein and chocolate milk, come back and lift weights. There were no video games, and I play none right now aside from occasionally Minecraft. But there was a time when I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to experience a few amazing titles. Batman Arkham Asylum/City is another amazing franchise, but unlike you I'll try not to divert this topic too much in to meaningless directions.
The job corps?! Mother of God! You're basically Leonidas! Ahaahaha. Get out of here. 3.5 miles a day, again, is garbage. And then you down a scoop and drink some chocolate milk and then....LIFT WEIGHTS. Man, comprehensive as ****. Bro, you must be super jacked. Teach me how to be a fitness god like you.
Anyway, I wake up at 0300, run at 70% for an hour, do whatever routine I have for the day (back and bi's monday, chest and tris tuesday, shoulders and legs wednesday, and then crossfit shit thursday and friday; I run 4 times a week, and I do abs every other day). Then I go to work at 0600, day ends at around 1600. Plenty of time for socializing, playing games or whatever the hell I feel like. Time management is key. When I deploy, it's basically down time until its go time.
The comment about burritos had to do with a fat guy who lived in his mom's basement where I stayed briefly while when I was in highschool and he'd only come up from there to microwave some burritos and go back down to his lair. And the nerd thing? Who doesn't know what a nerd is.. Lol. They become haters, like yourself. Nobody who is doing well in life AND secure with themselves becomes a hater.
Neither here nor there, like most of your comments followed by a blanket statement disproved by personal experience. Formulaic, unimaginative and completely and utterly wrong. Though I certainly don't fall into the nerd category, I would venture to say a good portion of the community here does, so you're not insulting me. You're just insulting the forum. But then, you're not here to make friends.
Oh okay, after re-reading it I see it was just you console bashing which is one of the oldest nerd beefs in the books. Nerds saying PC > ALL, except they neglect to factor in how isolated one is when sitting at his computer playing a game alone as opposed to chillin on your couch with a controller in your hand with friends or a girlfriend, enjoying a game on a 42'' 1080p HDTV.
Console bashing? Are you going to argue that the PC version of Skyrim isn't graphically superior to the console version? Is that really the line in the sand you want to draw? And hell, have you never heard of an hdmi cable? My laptop is connected to my television, for all the world to see, while I play whatever games or watch whatever movies or television shows I want. It's exactly what the X1 is attempting to mirror. But back to you being wrong, are you sure you want to take the position that the console version of Skyrim is equal to Skyrim on Ultra? Please say yes.
No, you lack objective because you can't stick to the arguments at hand. You spin it in all sorts of wacky directions like an amateur boxer who flails his arms in a desperate attempt to land a punch. Hahaha. Like I said before, there definitely is easily over 100 hours worth of Vanilla content and so if you choose to simply NOT BELIEVE ME then this argument can go no further. I have first hand experience, and all you have are your assumptions. I can say without a fraction of doubt in my mind that you're wrong, but you'll never believe me so there's nothing left to talk about here. It's simply you refusing to believe there's a possibility that you're wrong. It's sad, really.
Do you know what objectivity even means? Because it seems like you're just throwing words out there to bolster your argument, but those words have no relation to what you're saying in any context. You're like the Boxer-turned-MMA fighter who's so used to fighting with his hands that when someone throws a kick his world explodes and he has no idea what to do. A much better metaphor than yours, to be sure. If you can't keep up with what I'm dishing, and need to focus on solely one topic, just ask. I get bored with you, so I expand our arguments. Hell, just look at your first paragraph. You're talking about running a measily 3 miles like anyone gives a shit. You're as eager to eat the bait as I am to supply it.
My analogies are good. You're inclined to say everything I do is terrible, because you're extremely biased against me at this point. And let me also throw this out there too: When I played Oblivion on the PC version i DID mod it. But, when I got SKYRIM, I saw no need to. It was already perfect for me. I could recognize a good game when I saw it. You, however, have irreversibly fried your neurons to the point where you've become nothing more than this jaded shell of a man.
The arguments you make are surpassed in idiocy only by your analogies. You disagree, and that's fine. But really, it's third party perspective that matters, and I don't know that too many people would side with you when it comes to your analogies holding their water. Because they don't. Also, Oblivion was pretty bland and empty even with mods. Not as bad as daggerfall, but it was bad enough that Bethesda saw it necessary to retain the size of the map, but increase the volume of content to make it seem less empty. That said, Skyrim wasn't perfect. IT was far from it, and that's a good thing. Because that means they'll try to improve the formula rather than remain stagnant. Insults are easier than coherent arguments, however, so you'll resort to them every time.
Lol, the fact that you'd state what I did or didn't do in an ABSOLUTE and FACTUAL manner is hilarious. You've not got a leg to stand on. You've managed to rehash my jabs at your reading comprehension, yet you continue to claim that what I've said makes no sense. By the way, CoH is in my opinion TERRIBLE compared to SW:TOR. Our taste in games is too far apart to meet in the middle. We're on opposite ends of the grand canyon. Just accept it, and move on. I have. And for you to say "Mommy and daddy pay for everything" for me is absolutely hilarious. I didn't grow up with my father, and I could no longer live with my mother by age 11. So, hahaha, put your foot back in your mouth kid. Spoiled.. brat... that's you.
First, did you think the voice acting was great? Second, did you really think the characters were interesting and not vapid shells? Because if the answer to either question is yes, you're wrong. It isn't even an opinion at this point.
As for us having different opinions, I'm impressed it only took you 30 pages to figure that out (Disclaimer: 30 pages is an example of me being hyperbolic). Had you moved on, this conversation would have ended long ago. You haven't. As for your mommy issues, I could not care less if I tried with every fiber of my being. Congrats, you're like everyone in a 50 mile radius of where I grew up. You had it better than most. Stop crying about it.
Bla, bla, bla, more generic insults with zero truth and no affect.
And completely missing the point once again.
They have experience creating (stunningly I might add) ENOURMOUS maps holding hundreds of NPCs and DOZENS of dungeons and randomely generated loot, armor/weapon tiers, crafting systems, mounts, and more! THE WORKS! So with that considered, the point I've chosen to make is that their leap in to the world of MMO design will be a smooth transition for them, because as it's as if they've been training for this moment their entire careers. I hope you think of me when you subscribe for your first month. Also, playing on a PS3 with a 42'' HDTV (that mommy didn't buy for me) in 720p certainly does constitute HD. Sure, it wasn't 1080p, but man it looks amazing on my T.V. regardless. Let's not get all elitist in the graphics department all of a sudden. Sure, PC will always have the best graphics(I know because I played it on PC briefly), but the level at which I experienced it was still amazing. I STILL chose to play on the PS3 over playing it on the PC for numerous reasons. And you saying "It looks like shit on console" just reminds me of why I called you a spoiled brat in the first place. I think that's what initially ticked you off so much. It must be true. Oh and thank you for rehashing some more of my insults, your flattery will be the death of me ^_^ .
You know what? I'll concede that one point. It seems a broken clock truly is right twice a day. As for calling the textures in Skyrim hd, well, you're wrong. Especially if you're talking about the Skyrim when it first came out. That's why Bethesda released a high resolution texture pack. And that pack was still inferior to the texture packs made by joe schmos across the internet for the Skyrim Nexus and elsewhere. You've yet to experience what Skyrim is capable of. I'm sorry that it looks like shit on consoles. It isn't your fault that you can't connect your desktop to your tv. Someone failed you, and robbed you of the opportunity to cultivate critical thinking skills. Don't worry. Momma bird is here. Get under my wing baby bird.
You've totally chosen to run away from what I said entirely. Here, let me say it again to illustrate my point: "
People who LOVE what they do would continue doing it even if it DIDN'T pay (but they'd have other jobs of course). Just like the ESF team. They enjoy working on this project, expect no money in exchange, but they are STILL making an amazing game and we ALL get to benefit from their passion for their project. (Man, I really brought it home on that one!)" The money is certainly a BONUS for Bethesda, but it is not their SOLE motivation to create something amazing. Those guys are already rich.
Bethesda is a business. The people who work for them are employees. If they made pennies for doing what they love at Bethesda, they'd find a job elsewhere. Because, like it or not, money makes the world go round. Do you have any idea how much money goes into making a game like Skyrim? Do you really think they don't expect to make that money back? Have you learned nothing from the demise of THQ? The guys at ESF? They already have jobs. If they didn't ESF would be in stasis. And hell, these guys loooooove ESF, and it's still taken over a decade to get this far, a point you've made several times. This is a hobby to them. And if ESF weren't using dbz characters, you can bet your ass they'd be accepting donations. If you think the guys working at Bethesda are rich, you're both wholly disconnected from reality and completely misinformed.
I guess now you'd like to argue about your misuse of the forum codes.... Lol, that's frivilous and if you'd like to keep on doing it the wrong way then by all means go ahead.
Do you even know what you're addressing? Because a) you're the one complaining about me responding in quotes, and b) you completely evaded the topic again.
My spelling is fine. It's a waste of time to talk about it. I didn't even bother pointing out errors that I saw in your writing because I don't CARE unless it's funny. I'll make a joke if I find it amusing in a certain context, but I'm by no means a Spelling/Grammar nazi. People are free to express themselves how they wish and I do the same.
Annnnnd you're dense. It isn't about your spelling. It's about how you'll correct someone for something while at the same time failing at something else. It's hypocritical, and its moronic. Is the concept of a glass house too high brow for you? Or is that something found only in super obscure books like Of Mice and Men (seriously?).
Also, 150+, 100+, they both apply. I went with 100 as the absolute easiest number to defend which is what motivated me to continue this argument for as long as I have while I listened to you pour your heart out in attempts to defend an assumption with no solid foundation.
In other words, you're pulling numbers out of your ass because you simply don't know, but you won't let ignorance get in the way of opening your mouth. Gotcha.
I've addressed all issues. Even the pointless ones. But some times it takes a yank on the collar to get a dog to walk in a straight line again. Sad that I had to treat you that way.
And evaded again.
Aww isn't that cute guys? He's created in imaginary friend named Billy to keep him company while he plays a Frankenstein Skyrim alone at his computer. (someone grab a butterfly net). Come here Dio, walk in to the back of the white van with the red cross on it so we can go get Ice Cream together. ^_^
This goes back to your problem with reading comprehension, a dead horse by now to say the least. And of course, rather than say anything of merit or actually address the topic, you've chosen to create a new topic because...wait a minute....
"because you can't stick to the arguments at hand. You spin it in all sorts of wacky directions like an amateur boxer who flails his arms in a desperate attempt to land a punch."
Holy shit, you really are projecting. Amazing.
All jokes aside, yes I know the meaning of the word embrace. Modding is a sign that interest in their game is continously being revived, so why WOULDN'T they embrace it? It's an effort to change a game in order to add more replayability for those who've already grown tired of it. I experienced an amazing game, because I still have the neurons in my brain which would allow me to do so. You call me a bandwagoner, because you like to mod your games, but the truth is that you're like a prostitute who's been f****d too many times and can no longer achieve an orgasm. HAHAHAHA.
ERRR. Wrong. I didn't say they embraced every mod out there. I said they embraced the mods I was using. Meaning out of the thousands of mods out there, they pointed to the few and said, "Yep, that's awesome and we'd have done it had we thought of it". Egosoft does the same thing, except they take it a step further. They find the mods they really like, and holy shit, add it to their game. And then they hire the person/people responsible for the mod. Because they no shit care about the community and value good ideas.
P.S. Somebody doesn't know what Cubic in math means. Oh dear. Put down the story books and brush up on some real knowledge, you intellectual lightweight. Oh and in regards to all of your generic insults.. They slide off me like water to a rock, because they bear no truths. I'm a logical think-tank.
After all's been said and done, I feel like I went SSJ in my last post, and now, fighting a fatigued frieza seems frivolous to me. I've already secured the victory. I'm not even declaring it any more, because it's old news. I hope you live with the shame and keep it bottled up inside you, silently. This is me, flying away from a fruitless battle, victorious... And then there is you, who unfortunately refuses to admit his own defeat: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SfKvBiepfg4
Isn't it hilarious how Frieza's insults and yours as so similar? Calling me stupid so many times? And the way he thinks of himself as God? HAHAHAHAHHAHA. Ahhh, i've just made my own day. I think I'm gonna go to the store and grab a beer. I've earned it.
I hope your henchmen Have fun fighting over the scraps, and convincing themselves that their poor leader somehow won. Whatever it takes to preserve your egos.
