The Rage Topic

My editor would have a fit. =P

You may get more readers that way. :stuck_out_tongue:

Well, I got away with a damn, and in my Max Payne 3 review, the editor said he almost cut the phrase “[the game] took everything that was great about Max Payne 2 and flushed it down the toilet like last night’s blow during a DEA raid” and warned me about that in the future. The cute girl that had edited my paper before he did said she thought the joke was funny. Woot =D

That’s one hell of an analogy.

I was trying to be cheesy, like the self-parodic “Dick Justice” sequences on the TV in Max Payne 2, where they used such amazing lines as “It was raining as if all the angels in heaven decided to take a piss at the same time. When you’re in a situation like mine, you can only think in metaphors.”

I know it was a joke. I love making up absurd analogies too.

I’ve got tons of hematite and marble, but I can’t make steel because I need a source of carbon. I have flux and iron but not fucking coal! I WANT STEEL BATTLEAXES!

Fucking Dwarf Fortress.

Yeah, keep on calling the wrong number you dummy. Maybe it will become the right number one of these tries?

I fuckin’ love the people who call you, realize it’s the wrong number, and then try to blame you.

“Hello, is Mark there?”
“I’m sorry, I think you might have the wrong number.”
“Is this 719--*?”
“Yes.”
Oh, really? I have the wrong number, huh?”

Inflection can be very, very important.

WHY THE FUCK IS THERE A SONIC 2006 REMAKE LEVEL IN SONIC GENERATIONS?!?

I thought this was supposed to be a game that celebrated the 20 year history of the franchise, not dragging it’s absolute worst moments into the limelight! It also figures that the Crisis City levels are the worst in the entire game in terms of design as well. SO WHY THE FUCK ARE THEY THERE?!?

Give me Mystic Cave. Oil Ocean. Sky Rail. Gene Gadget. Rail Canyon. Egg Fleet. Fuck, you could give me Labyrinth Zone instead for all I care (and I fucking HATED Labyrinth Zone). But you picked a stage from FUCKING SONIC 2K6. WHY WHY WHY.

I guess I should count my lucky blessings that it wasn’t Westopolis or something. (Because Shadow the Hedgehog shouldn’t count as a main series Sonic title ANYWAY.) But fucking hell. The rest of the game is so unbelievably good. Speed Highway rocks now. Sky Sanctuary is very slick, too. And my very favorite of the bunch in both 2D and 3D hybrid modes, City Escape, is an absolute masterpiece of Sonic map design. And then we had to go shit it up with fucking Crisis City. Why the hell couldn’t we have gotten Hot Crater instead? (Yes, I’d rather have a Sonic Advance 2 level port. Why? Because Sonic Advance 2, despite being REALLY fucking hard, was still a proper good Sonic game that handled well, and it introduced Cream the Rabbit. Considering she is in the game, that should totally have been included.)

So yeah, FUCK YOU SONIC 2K6 LEVEL PORT. YOU FUCKING SUCK AND I HATE YOU. PLEASE DIE IN YOUR OWN FIRES.

frankly, you deserve it for playing a sanic game at all

Bear in mind, the rest of the game is uncharacteristically good for a 3D Sonic title. It’s easily the best of the series this decade, far and away. If they keep with a similar gameplay and visual direction for subsequent games, Sonic does have a good shot at being a worthwhile series to play again.

As for why I still play them, well, Sonic 1 and 2 were my “gateway games,” the very first games I played on the Sega Genesis. I still have my '89 Genesis (it’s older than me) and I still play games on it once in a while. So call it misplaced loyalty.

I wasn’t aware that you were so… enthusiastic about sonic games.

Like I said, big part of my childhood. Plus, you’d be surprised how many girls out there are Sonic fans.

Wait, playing Sonic has gotten you laid? Is that what you’re getting at here?

I got laid after playing Sonic 2 once. True story :smiley:

correlation != causation

Yes, but I have gotten laid so few times in my life (7 times in 1995 and 1 time in 2007), that I will take whatever I can get.

what the fuck is wrong with some people.

OK thats It I am building a dooms day device… any one up for zombies.

ok that would never work, mainly because it would be infective on the people that need to die they are the ones with the guns.
