Cancelled my online order and decided to treck down to the shops and get one, I hate waiting.

So far I'm not at all impressed.....with the weight, only took me about 5 minutes to get home, in that short space of time I had to keep swapping arms that I was carrying the bag in because they were aching so much. Thank god the shops are only a few minutes from my house, i'd have had to get a taxi otherwise. What really made me laugh was the girl behind the till put the console in a bag and as she was passing it to me, the handles broke.

Anyway I got Halo (of course) MGS2: Substance and Jet Set Radio Future. So far from what i've played of Halo it's gonna be a bloody brilliant game, excellent mass battle type things and most of the guns rock my socks. ONe thing I don't like is the bit on the 2nd level where you have to drive the Warthog, those things handle terribly, i just wanted to get out and shoot stuff normally. Small gripe though because the rest of the stuff i've done rocked.

JSR: future from what i've played is gonna be just as good as the 1st game if not better, not particuarly enthralled by the new graffiti method or the lamp post climbing but i'll get used to it.

Haven't bothered with MGS2 yet.

So far so good then, first product i've ever owned from Microsoft that i've been completly satisfied with.

*reads his excuse*
Yeah. Sure.

Oh, except I didnt say anything about forcing opinions. I said I never understand why people try so hard to change other's opinions.
There is a difference, I can provide notepaper show my workings if needs be.

Mr Stripes, that is (Belldandy aside) quite possibly one of the most laughable attempts at backtracking I've seen.
You have said, on two occasions, that Snuggly was forcing opinions.
Then denied it.
And there's no sarcasm detector needed for:
"That looks more like someone trying to enforce an opinion than anything I said" - which isn't the one you're writing off as "oh I was being sarcastic"

You got owned.
Pull your pants up, people are watching.

I asked a question. You jumped on me for asking a question. I wanted a bit more information since I heard MK was coming to europe earlier. You called me an idiot. I only asked a question because I wanted some more info.

I won't again because you responded like an idiot.

Naawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

"I thought Mario Kart was being released in summer"

"Some of these are likely to change"


Seems simple enough to me.

The question required the poster of the thread to give a bit more explanation on ehat they knew. You just called me an idiot. There is the irony. You are infact the idiot.

Also I understood what you were trying to say. You still deliberately misquoted/'misunderstood'/'mis-read' Snuggly by doing so. That is what I was saying.

'Nah' is not a good way to begin a post in which you try to explain yourself and try to sound intelligent.

Nah

You've misunderstood the way in which I was saying it, which is understandable seeing as their is no tone of voice over the internet.


See, I haven't thought anyone in this thread was trying to force opinions on anyone else. But Goatboy had a go at me and said that I was, even though I hadn't said anything that would be considered 'forcing an opinion'.

Naturally I was pretty annoyed at being wrongly accused, so that first post was me being sarcastic whilst also showing how you're prepared to 'overlook' any 'wrong' behaviour from people who had sided with you.

So imagine this "Sounds like someone is trying to enforce an opinion on everyone" being said in a sarcastic and slightly sulky tone.


Unfortunatly Hedfix is too stupid to understand any of this. The whole thing was simply about me getting unfair treatment, and pointing out that there is just as mch evidence of Snuggly trying to force opinions as there was with me, even it was very little in both cases.


A bit hard to explain perhaps, but I'm sure Goatboy will understand.



Oh, and Hedfix, you asked a question that was answered in the original post. Resulting in said insult.

Well he just called me an idiot in Nintendo forum because I questioned something about his 'release date' list. So it should be entertaining to see what words of wisdom he can offer here. He'll probably call you a fanboy or something ridiculous.

Yes he misquoted Snuggly to prove a point.
