    ...doesn't mean that they are out to "get" the Xbox360 (or PS3 for that matter) or decry it for lack of originality.

    Many of us are very excited about the possibilities of the Wii. It may very well turn out to be a big, fat turkey. BUT, most importantly, we are not dimissing the 360 or PS3 so stop acting as if every thread about the Wii is a personal attack on your manhood.

    It's getting very boring and pushing many threads off topic.

    We get it already. You don't like the Wii.

    Now will you piss off?

    Nono, the anti-terror laws are actually just a ruse by Nintendo for the government to be able to seize anyones PS3 and 360 and throwing out a thousand years of controller development!

    Maybe if you make enough threads like this, you can draw his attention off the serious threads! Good thinking!

    Some of you can't just ignore these very concentrated opinions can you?

    No, you have to have an over-sensitive moan about the opinion of someone on the internet who you'll never meet.

    It's just ONE person though! If people stopped paying attention to him he'd probably stop posting such strong and controversial opinions.

    Xbox 360 and PS3 = generic, Nintendo = fun and innovative!

    No, I enjoy the discussion on this forum and have for many years but albundy's post have, in recent weeks, started derailing potentially interesting threads. He seems to have a constant fear that the general Eurogamer masses are belittling the Xbox360 when we talk excitedly about the Wii.

    I was trying to point out in simple language that it is possible to appreciate what Nintendo is trying to do with the Wii AND what the other consoles are doing too with your head exploding.

    Yeah cos thats really going to work when theres 24000 registered users.

    If his posting style (look at the Spore thread and please tell me you want someone like that to be a regular here) becomes tolerated and the norm, will the last forumite out please switch off the light?

    Not sure if you know or not, but he's been warned by the mod to curb his behaviour. Who said you had to tolerate it? I just think threads like this which draw the attention to him - and in effect also give a wider audience to his posts (which is not what you want) are a bad idea.

    I agree to an extent but surely it's not just his posts that are derailing these threads - it's the resulting discussions that come forth when people start giving his posts the attention you seemingly don't want him to have.

    No essay. I'll just say that the litany of "Xbox 360 and PS3 = generic, Nintendo = fun and innovative" comments will always spur me on to provide an alternative viewpoint. Stop making them, and I'll quit yabbering. The end.

    But al, you are posting ranting comments in Wii threads where no mention of the 360 or PS3 is made.

    I'm referring to the post Lutz made in the stickied Guidlines thread. Apologies if I've missed something.

    With all due respect, unless I'm much mistaken Deem in particular has been a far worse offender when it comes to insulting people and yet I've never seen him reported or really complained about.

    That's because people just don't like my views. I may be whatever you want to call me, but I believe in what I write, and have reasons beyond "because they are teh ghey". Therefore, I have as much write to post in what I do as anyone else.
    Yeah but I think you're way too strong in how you deliver your opinions, and you do seem really close-minded.

    I think you're an attention whore and a troll, which is why I wish people would stop the proverbial "troll feeding".

    Al, in the spore thread you opened up with your repeating bullshit gun for no damn reason at all. Please stop. They're just platforms. You might as well launch into defensive rants about your favourite washing powder.

    Brand loyalty is stupid.

    Believe me, the minute you all shut up saying how bad the Xbox 360 is, and how I'm a moron for possibly liking it, and that only Nintendo cater for the more intellectually-minded among us, then I cease to care about whether or not you're excited about the Wii.

    Just because you're on a mission against some people who are as much blinkered fanboys as you are one, you're starting to drag the whole forum down by spamming. Great.

    Because apparently he's dragging "the whole forum" down all on his own.

    Fuck it though. I'm starting to take things a little too seriously as well now.

    Maybe he's the Gaming Messiah? We should heed his wise words.

    Alternatively he could be as big an arsehole as the fictional character he chose to name himself after.

    Well I was thinking of the Spore thread in which you wrote:
    albundy wrote:
    Is this that innovative Xbox 360 exclusive game from Will Wright?

    Wait, no, can't be. It's on the Wii, is it not? Cause only on the Wii will we see innovation.

    Come to think of it, Table Tennis, Dead Rising, Viva Pinata, Geometry Wars, etc, etc, etc. None of them are really on the Xbox 360 at all. They're all on the Wii.

    But even in the thread about whether Nintendo should stop making consoles and become a publisher your posting has helped turn it into yet another "Console War" thread. It's fucking boring.

    We need "trolls, tards, fanoby etc" as much as regular people, it's fun to see them go off on weird rants and strange threads.
