Well, as we all know, insulting people (especially insulting their intelligence) is the best way to win them over to your side.

wait...


It's a bit sad that you have a "side" in the first place Retaker. You shouldn't have to try and "win" people into agreeing with your opinion.

Am I the only person who finds this statement almost comically absurd?

Are you a geth?  Does your society only make decisions via consensus?

To be fair, some Mass Effect fans donated to a children's charity and then asked for their money back when they found out it wouldn't be funding a new ending to a video game.

That's not exactly smart.


Nice blanket statement ignoring the fact that only a few morons did that.


I said some. Not all.

Clearly enough people did it for them to take action, though.


You modified your post.  And clearly it was not enough for them to take action before making almost $100k.


Not sure why you're so intent on continuing this with me. I don't approve of what the charity did, nor do I approve of the people who asked for their money back.

People who like the endings have been called just as many nasty things. If someone's gotta resort to name-calling they ain't worth listening to. That said, I don't know anything about this Yahtzee guy, so if he's one of those internet personalities doing shtick, probably not a big deal.

Pff big deal! It's not like he say worse stuff otherwise.. oh he do. Are people actually getting mad at this? He say stuff to get a reaction and fanboys/girls are the perfect target since they get mad for anything these days.

As a long time fan of Yahtzee,

I must say he's a hypocrite. For someone that criticizes games and their writing so much, he wants to call people "idiots" for wanting something better.

I'm was pointing out the fact that you unfairly associated a few morons' actions with every Mass Effect fan.

And then modified your post and claimed you said something else...

Actually the anti-enders here were waiting so much for yatzee to bash the crap of bioware over ME3, its funny how they all hate him now that he disagrees with them...


Actually one or two were, and the rest rightfully predicted that he'd take the stance most likely to ****** off the maximum amount of people.


Yeah keep telling yourself that only one or two people were waiting for yatzee to bash ME3


What do you honestly thing people were hanging on Yahtzee's word like our lord and saviour?
Who doesn't know that he's a professional troll anyway?

Yahtzee has invented this persona which basically requires him to hate everything. I like to imagine he goes home at the end of the day and curls up with a quart of Ben & Jerry's and watches romantic comedies and weeps unashamedly.

I bet he's a Katherine Heigl fan. Heigl. Weird name.


Heigl, funny name indeed.  OOH look, shiney!

For some reason when yatzee calls me an idiot i do not take it personally. That is just the way he is. Same reason why I was not upset when Gabe from penny arcade made fun of us. That is just what they do. They are not journalists, they are entertainers with well thought out opinions.

The only time I get annoyed is when gaming journalists decide they have the place to call their viewers idiots. They are not entertainers, they deliver information and news.

Well, to be honest... I am an Idiot. But I can't see how my intelligence effects the Quality of the End... but maybe I'm too stupid to understand that.

First of all, I said "some". Not all. Not every. You even quoted me on the "some" part.

Second, I usually only edit if I think of something to add or I fix a typo, and I'm pretty sure I fixed a typo (I make a lot of them). Regardless, I usually catch it right as I post, and edit it out.

What exactly did I modify that you feel is worth calling me out on? Everything I've needed to say, you've quoted exactly. Look at the posts you quoted me on, then look at my original posts. Everything is the exact same, because I edited them before you quoted me.

Ermm... who cares? Yahtzee often takes jabs at his viewers in many of his videos, that's just part of his gimmick.

Yahtzze insulting someone? No Way!!!!!
I remember the end of his Witcher 2 review where he called PC-gamers something like "just being fired from the ****sucking factory". So him calling someone idiot is pretty much to be expected.

It really depends on whether or not you base your opinion on other peoples.

"I like Kill Bill."

(10 other people) "I hate Kill Bill."

"Oh, now I hate Kill Bill."

This just in: Ben Croshaw acts like Ben Croshaw. Stop the presses. God forbid anyone on BSN actually talks about all those other word-things in his article.

And, just as a tip for future reference, if you don't want to be called an idiot stop acting like one. Not posting entirely new threads dedicated to a topic that's been mentioned and discussed ad infinitum, replete with horrendous grammar, excess copy-pasting, and utterly devoid of proofing and format, is a nice way to start with that.

Ohh ... the guy who thinks he is the Howard Stern of video games calling people idiots... that means .. nothing really. Anyone who is a "media" figure that resorts to name calling is showing their own intelligence and maturity.

The BSN would make an excellent case study in confirmation bias.
