I got an honorable mention at GameFront for bashing Blizzard fanboys

"Right now, I like the metaphor that the LL is an ecology of ideas - in some ways, a harsh, Darwinian one. That's what makes it so valuable - the strongest/best ideas survive. I don't know if that's what Bolty originally intended, but it's an interesting result."

--CelticHound, 2003

That is the most awesome quote. Bravo to CelticHound.

Often your anonymous alias reveals inner demons, much like the internet equivalent of the monster truck. Speaking of demons... I will say that it is good he has outgrown "PoopyPants".

I seem to remember a D1 gamer who actually went by PoopyPants. I think he was a Sorcerers Tower regular.

I just have to post a heart-felt thanks to all who responded in this thread. My life has been rather busy of late and I have had neither the energy nor the time to visit this wonderful place. The comments in this thread put a smile on my face and offered some sweet nostalgia.

Thank you all very much!

I don't recall the LL being so full of such passive-aggressive, cliquey little girls. Times change, I suppose.

You don't?

Times change, yes. I think "the Lounge group" is more approachable and less clique-ey than ever.

I remember quite a few threads in the Network54 days talking about Lounge regulars being elitist pricks and such.

That isn't just the N54 days... *looks over at Bolty*

Yeah, I probably just didn't notice it as much back then. Seems like most of the regulars are just liberal neckbeards whose entire self-worth lies in videogames and online forums, and whose tastes haven't matured in the last decade. I used to read the Something Awful forums, too, also a bed of stinkin' self-righteous liberals. No wonder there's so much hostility here, as liberals are fueled by hatred of anyone normal.

This particular liberal is definitely fueled by hatred at the moment. And for good reason. It's been awhile since I've seen someone on these boards that has brought absolutely zero constructive commentary. The normal trolls at least have something of value mixed in with their trash.

This is really no different from how you started the thread. Is this all you've got? The same "flame" over and over again? Even trolls know to change their material. I'm really disappointed, ClamsAreBot.

Yeah, copy/paste trolls are so boring. He says he hasn't played, so he's just co-opting general forum anti-D3 stuff and repeating it. Hating is fine, but make it yours, instead of just copying someone else's tripe.

He's just another Blizzard-bashing-is-cool kiddie, trying to get us to validate him and help out with his insecurities, and we're not playing.

Hate all you want, but, ffs, at least do your own research, and put some effort into it, or it's invalid.

My God, I just tried to D3 starter edition, what a terrible, terrible game. Only a child could enjoy this game. If it were released in 1990 I might have enjoyed it more. Graphics, voiceover, controls, skills, all utter crap. No surprise there. Back to Path of Exile.

edit: There's so many things wrong with this game, I forgot to mention how short the acts are. The game is repetitive and boring.

edit: There's so many things wrong with this game, I forgot to mention how short the acts are.

In case people weren't smart enough to ignore you yet and are unaware: the starter edition is limited to the Skeleton King, i.e. only part of Act 1. Which is smaller than Acts 2 and 3.

And it has come to pass on this twenty-first day of the fifth month, that our righteous protector has driven off the vile troll, by strength of arms and the justice of his banhammer. Peace prevailed once again in the land.

You know, we really should have predicted this turn of events.

His first thread was boasting about getting an honourable mention for bashing Blizzard fanboys. He was never going to play nice.

Anyway, let's put this whole sordid business behind us; much like you would roadkill. A brief burst of emotion as you hear the thump and crunch before quickly forgetting about the whole thing and returning to thinking about what you're going to have for lunch.

Not to meander off topic... but... When I was a mere teen, I lived out on a small farm where we raised beef cows. Anyway, I had a science teacher who was very skilled at taxidermy, and he taught it as an elective. I became pretty proficient. Road kill was a prime source for subjects. Smelly, but not too bad once frozen...

<thump> <crunch>

What were we talking about?

[Archon_Wing]

This thread was a very cool tale, my brethren

[ShadowHM]

To wander just a wee bit further:

I took a taxidermy course too. I failed to become proficient. This explains both the large-mouthed trout and the headless duck on the wall at the cottage.

There is something off-putting which occurs when "roadkill" and "lunch" is used in the same paragraph

I am oft times afraid to poke my head out too far in "The Lounge". I've made a lot of posts on the lounge, but have kept myself primarily on the wow boards for a reason. Coming "up top" as I refer to it, is something I do mostly to read. Posting up here is something that I do rarely, and I'm finding that I try to keep myself out of the more "prickly" topics as time passes.
