Battle of the Black Boxes

Ok, let's bring the emotional level down here and keep it in perspective: this is just a fun little hobby-- one that's ultimately insignificant in the grand scheme of things-- and none of these companies care about any of us, no matter how hard we strive to defend them. And no, these entities don't need you or I to stand up for them...they really don't. That's what their lawyers are for.

I won't point out any shortcomings of any console (which may be someone's one true love) no matter how obvious again because I might offend someone or hurt their feelings for that console. I won't use the past as evidence of quality or any type of benchmarks. I won't even bring up the WiiU's discontinuation because it might make others mad or sad (except Balder). And I will no longer advocate critical thinking about our spending habits as (adult?) consumers of mass media or holding those who sell us products responsible for what they produce...because clearly this type of discussion only evokes swearing and other emotional responses. I invite anyone to insult Nintendo or Ocarina of Time or anything I enjoy-- I won't overreact because it doesn't bother me.

To clear things up; I don't give a shit about MS or Sony as a corporation, they do faults like any other company, for example the Kinect or the PS4 eye toy thingy (really overpriced gimmicks). But when someone is constantly only brings up everything they hate about a subject (in this case consoles), that fucks up the mood in the pub. The reason why I watch CGR is because Mark can find everything fun about a game/console, and not just focus on the shitty aspects (if you want the latter watch AVGN).

Thanks for all the sarcasm @player1 I really needed that. It is truly awesome to have such a nice member (who is in no way biased or anything) in this pub parodying me.

Can't remember which video you're refering to, but by my knowledge YT's policies are pretty shit in general when it comes to content strikes.

Yeah it looks like he took off on his own. I would have to ask ModeratorNumber2.

I sure hope your mod didn't pull him from the chat; that'd just be uncalled for.

I haven't get a reply yet, but I doubt he did. This looks like it was self made.

I honestly feel bad for him leaving. I don't want anyone to leave, like in my chest, that's how much I care.

In my opinion a little drama is not bad for the forums, it makes things interesting.

He called me brainless at some point and I didn't get offended at all because I imagine he is probably younger than me and I know where he is coming from.

If he decides to come back he will always be welcome.

Well this is a first, thought we always had discussions like this but they never ended up like this. Anybody have other means of contacting him?
