Sold My Wii

oh really? if thats the case, shouldn't Spawn Camping, Grenade spamming, Screamers and n00bs cease to exist? all are the creations of gamers who want to win. The Wii is marketed at children, families and pretty much everyone. Frankly i'd be embarrassed to own a console which was marketed at people who barely know anything other to eat their boogers.

The Wii's marketed to more than just the smaller kids. Also, the 360's been trying to market to a wider audience lately too. That New XBox Live Experience is really shit what with the forced avatars and new looks for the menus. [/quote]
Okay, i agree with you there Crimson. Avatars are annoying, and the menu's aren't as snazzy as they used to be. But hey, i actually find i can use the new category system quite functionally, and my Avatar is now my own personal voodoo doll. Ever wiggled the thumbstick so they get dizzy? it's pretty amusing for the few minutes that it takes for your game to load up after putting it in the drive.

Games are meant to be enjoyed, not taken seriously.

ruins the ideology of "I'm so good at this game, no normal person can best me at it" that most gamers have.

There's always someone better then you. Even those who don't play or are new, can still be able to pick up the way of playing the game you excel in and beat you. Whether it's the Wii, Xbox 360 or the PS3, any console in fact. This ideology of "Someone always better" CAN be proven.

That's not what i meant. Look at it again. "I'm so good at this game, no normal person can best me at it". the term Normal there was a reference to someone who isn't a self-proclaimed gamer. Thusly, it's quite improbable for someone to be better then this person and yet doesn't say that they are a gamer.
Again, fun is a matter of perspective; fun can even be contrived from being serious about something or just annoying the hell out of someone. Left 4 Dead is a perfect example of this, because whilst your teammates may want to fight off the zombies, you might lock them in a room with the zombies and enjoy their frustration.

Now that just hurts. And is uncalled for. Know your Roots! Remember what you were when you got your first system? That's right. The same thing.

Again, not very called for. Wii is not for babies as it is for everyone. And why would you find that fun? The humping. Isn't that liked by the same people who may have used to flush your head is school? Or the kind of guy who's at Taco Bell at 3 am. A low watt in the brain area but big on muscle mass.

You mention that my approach was uncalled for when you yourself told people to "STFU" if they didn't like your use of a URL? Doesn't that seem a little hypocritical of yourself?

And also i grew out of my immaturity when gaming, just like the rest of us. I learned that to win, you didn't have to use do-or-die tactics or things like grabbing the biggest gun i could find and using it. Yes i corpse-humped and grenade spammed but it was fun, even if you don't comprehend it's enjoyment Unknown.

Finally, my attitude is off-balanced and can be offensive to people...i am working on sustaining it until i play against people online, who i may often taunt or ridicule as i play. Why? Because they can't hear me, and it makes me feel better. No one gets hurt, i get to blow off steam and Bubble-gum flavored beverages all around.
