1. An extra brick for when you run out whilst building an extension.

2. A novelty ozersized dice for when you loose pieces in monopoly.

3. A paper-weight.

4. StressBall (stressCube)

5. An implement to kick rugby conversions off of.

6. A poker table for small mamals.

7. A warning bouy signaling no swimming.

8. A portable hammer.

9. An easy way to get about 50 quid when you cash it back to the shops.

10.A really quite sub-standard games console.

Console wars are pointless because it's the games that make a console, a console on it's own is useless. Anyone up for a games war?

Yeah, GSMaster can get a little hostile, as I've noticed a lot (and the same with garbe123, but lets not get into an argument about that). It's when people do it with cruel intentions that annoys me. This is the reason most people don't like Res, but as for that particular post, GSMaster was out of line.

Personally I don't mind it when the person doing can take stuff back without getting all mental and console wars about it.
I have a laugh with Cyclone and now I'm joking around with Strafex - 2 examples of posters that can have a laugh but take it back as well as dish it out.

What can you do? There's some people who are just idiots and always will be. Sure, I made a few of these "uses" up off the top of my head, but I wouldn't care if someone said the same or worse about the PS2 or Gamecube.

Thats all well and good but some are just coming in here looking to wind people up and think they're really clever behind their PC screen.

GSmaster is a prime example when he swore at Res a few days ago. Res made a simple reply about changing the name Bill Gates to Nintendo (a pretty predictable reply when your in the X-Box forum attempting to kick up a stink) and GSmaster decided to get all hostile and told Res to F off.

Not only that, but while looking in the Ninty forum, I went into the same thread in there and looked over the sad little replies. It was like a group of little kids trying to make up some big plan to go and wind up everyone in here.
Now Res has been annoying in the past, but thats not an excuse to just come in here and use him as an excuse to start swearing at people.

Afterall, if your going to come in here and start ripping into the X-Box, you'd have to be pretty stupid to not expect a reply and Res' was just light hearted and didn't deserve the reply GSmaster gave. But then its funny how some people become extremely brave once they're behind a computer screen. It was also sad to notice GSmaster bragging about that reply in the Ninty forum too.
If anyone does that in here again, I WILL report them (the swearing).
I mean, I use the odd word in here myself sometimes, but its never aimed directly at abusing a poster and I never use words as hostile as what GSmaster did. Not on the forum anyway.

Try telling that to some of the Ninties. I'm sure they think they're fighting a war for Nintendo - muppets.
