It's a bit of circular reasoning, though. If you base your definition on a subset of Nintendo fans you find act a similar way, then you're going to notice that Nintendo fans are acting a similar way.drohne said:

you have a rich talent for misinterpretation. you're an incisive non-reader. my speculation on nintendo fandom is a bemused response to the metaposting that lately follows me from thread to thread. apparently the nintendo delegation would rather discuss drohne's posting habits than, for example, the ds. maybe i bring it on myself. but in any case it's tiresome.

The same thing happens/happened to DJ Demon J, Drinky Crow, Gahiggidy, etc. When its obvious you have an agenda, people start calling you out on it.drohne said:

Yeah, I can't make a post bemoaning the sort of small-minded gamer idiocy that leads them to purchase $80 of 1997-era hardware repackaged for $150 based on brand name, yet ignores $400 worth of reasonably modern hardware sold for $250 -- especially when that $250 piece of hardware has an OBJECTIVELY better library -- without having a subsequent train of Speev-alikes posting about my posting habits. It's a sort of creepy meta-thing, as though an appeal to my superego or something will make the DS stop sucking. I really can't fathom it.
And of course I have an agenda. We ALL do. My agenda just happens to be better executed than most. Pointing out the obvious won't save you from it, though.

Drinky, despite having had an imported japanese PSP since launch and therefore a fair amount of vested interest in seeing it succeed it has to be said that your constant riling of the fans when anything DS related is posted (be it some sort of sanctioned effort to "weed out" the nintendo fanatics or not) has now reached the point where its making me want to see the DS destroy the PSP at retail purely so you might finally shut the hell up about it.
Surely this dead horse has been beaten enough...
(although it hasnt quite reached the point where i feel obligated to my a DS to help the cause.. but feel free to keep going!)

and if my agenda is so obvious, why not let that obviousness speak for itself instead of "calling me out," as you put it? what does this do besides append a couple dozen posts' worth of creepy post-argument cuddling to the tail of every other thread? i doubt whether there's much worth saying about drohne the gaf username. at least games are a topic of potential interest, even if that potential is usually squandered in bickering and forum catchphrases.

ninge, if my posts get your hackles up so far that you *do* buy a DS: hey, I've won!
(Fuck, I'm gonna buy a DS here for Advance Wars and Castlevania.)

Drinky holds a stake in the big N and has a one off bet with Ladbrokes for a zillion sales of Nintendogs.

I'm not going to make another comment about your posting style. Please stop using me as an example of DS fans. I don't like the DS. I think handheld gaming is a waste of money, no matter how "reasonably modern" it is. If you want to place me in a group, I recommend "Xbots". That's far easier to defend, and since you love your Phantom Dust, we'll get along famously.

No, I'll continue to pigeonhole you as a stealth Gamecube fanboy.

Well if we all have an agenda, then I'm sure most people's is to "come here and bullshit about games," not "troll company X." In which case the former clearly executes it flawlessly.
And for some people, making fun of their posts is the only reasonable reaction, as they've generally crossed the "take me seriously" line a longass time ago.

Do you even know what "trolling" is?

You're right it doesn't, but come ON man, you have to admit you do it every once in a while.Drinky Crow said:
So let me digest this. Drinky is saying that anything that's technologically old has to be worse than a more advanced unit.
Sure, that's true if you're talking about machinery which do a fairly standardized job, like make widgets and you want the one that make more widgets per hour with fewer defects.
This doesn't hold in the content delivery business. Video game companies are highly differentiated players, that is, the products they produce aren't interchangeable (see porter's 5 forces, one of which describes product differentiation as a way of create competitive advantage).
An inferior hardware is by no means an inferior product. VHS v. Beta, GameBoy v. the world pretty much proved that. There's a lot more behind consumer valuation of products than technology.
