LoK *and* XBox wank
hoo boy. First post here, and it makes me almost ashamed of my fandom (but then again, the fangirls over on ff.n already did that for me), but here goes!

Over on the Legacy of Kain community, lifeofaspider posts about wanting Eidos to re-release Soul Reaver 1 and 2 on Xbox. He doesn't want to buy a PS2 just so he can play as Raziel.
The post itself isn't that wanky, but the replies are.

People disagree, saying the Xbox sucks, but the best is when meatrace posts.

"i'll say it here for everyone to hear, everyone who prefers XBOX to the exclusion of all else deserves a slow and painful death."

"i'd love to kill you face to face if you had actually said that to my face."


And it keeps going when meatrace posts again! It's a pretty small community, but damn....

ok thats it, you fucking deserve to die you ignorant fuck.
the xbox SUCKS


jarethcorvin1 professes that he prefers the Xbox over the PS2 and tells meatrace to grow up. And meatrace is pissed and replies. And free speech is mentioned too. :)

Meatrace also goes over to lifeofaspider's journal to insult here. And apparently had went over to jarethcorvin1's too, but I didn't see any comment.

I admit, I've never seen anything like this, but then again I don't interact in the fandom much. I like my lurker status.

Edit:
There's also this little post too.

Edit #2:

Seems the call for the moderator has been deleted, so was the second call for the mod as well. Ah well.

Ah, use of "faggot" as a catch-all insult every couple of sentences. Yup, a true mark of some good ol' gamer!wank.

It just makes me wonder how wanky my fandom really is. I know how some of the fans can be. With all my lurking, and avoiding I'm missing out on all the wank.

Must poke around the forums more... I'm curious now.

LOK is delightfully wanky in itself sometimes, so daily mini!wanks are obligatory on the boards. ;-)

Believe me, now I'm remembering what went on on the big forums (NR and Eidos). I've spent a few period of a some months in there before being digusted, leaving, repressing the horrid and going back.

It's a vicious cycle, but now I can go back and enjoy the wank this time. :)

(Ohhh... the wank... If it wasn't so long ago and deleted by ezboards I bet I could report some of that stuff that went on with Zelen last year over at the NR... mmm... nostalgia wank...)

That reminds of Raziel ... .. . ¬_¬ I can see an icon coming: "fandom wank - we are like Raziel, in a way."

Oh, Zelen, yes. I wonder if somebody saved the highlights. I stayed away from the boards for the past month because I hadn't completed Defiance, but now ... there has to be fresh LOK wank out there and it deserves attention. >)

I like that one. ^^ *writes it down with the other f_w icons she wants to make*

Once I update my OS and have my Safari browser back, rest assured, I'll see about documenting the wank. I sorta wish I saved that stuff 'bout Zelen before. That, that was just fantastic stuff. I know where I can get some of it, but not all of it.
I'm Ranmyaku over at the boards if you ever see me over at the NR and Eidos.

pcrocodile on eidos and on nosgoth.net, which is about as far as I'm venturing into the fandom. ng.net has been despicably unwanky, even in the Defiance Spoiler forum. Am almost tempted to throw in a"Raziel and Kain are so an item" comment to see what happens.

But that would be cheating. ¬_¬

If I supported that pairing, I certainly would. ;)

I've got plans to write up a nice little essay on Vamp sexuality and post it at both the NR and maybe even Eidos. I know what some of the discussions are like there, but damn, I really want to see what would happen.

When, in your head, the console wars have become actual WARS, IE something to kill over, then it's time to seek professional help. And I don't mean the twice-a-week kind, I mean the ones where you go into a little locked room until you're all better.

How small a world to you live in where Microsoft is the only company that produces computer/systems you can play computer games on?

I also own macs and other computer having nothing to do with that evil rich man.

I'd DOUBT it. Sony went completely self-sufficient for the PS2. They invested a huge amount of money in building factories so that they could make everything for it... the cases, the hardware, -everything-. No other console does that, they all ship out either most or all of these functions to other companies. This also means that Sony is the only company that makes a -profit- when they sell a console, because they paid off what they put into those factories extremely fast. The other companies actually take a loss every time they sell a console, and have to make it up on selling the games for it.

He does know that the Evil Man owns enough shares of Apple to basically do whatever he wants, right? They know that by buying a mac, they're maintaining "no were not a monopoly" facade of Microsoft and the Evil Evil Man that donates billions to charity.

Right?

Maybe, but there's also the chance that the people will rise up and boycott Microsoft, buy only Apple, and then the Macintosh will reign surpreme!

*cough* Yeah right. I can dream tho. And pet my pretty shiny mac. Teh Shiiiiinnny. Now if only I could get that grass hut built...

(But seriously, the Evil Man owns shares in Apple? Well, weirder things have happened.)

Wow. Just...wow. The smell of console-wank on a Saturday morning. It's like someone spooged all over Grandma's banana nut bread.

If these whiners stopped trolling message boards to issue death-threats to XBox owners, they would probably have enough extra time to go get a part-time job and make enough money to have all the consoles. But then no one would have a reason to flame, and the Internet wank fairies would have to go back to the Harry Potter fandom.

Jesus Christ! All THAT over GAME SYSTEMS!?!? Isn't it all about GAME preference. Most of the games I like are on the PS2, which is why I have no intent of going near the X-Box OR Gamecube.

~sniffle~ But that means you'll never play Animal Crossing, and never, ever get a letter from Tom. As someone who cares about your happiness, this makes me very sad. Or happy, as I will admit no rivals to Tom's affections.

Isn't it all about GAME preference

Only to sane people.

The sad part - that was actually a pretty standard console!fanboy fight for the most part.

which is why I have no intent of going near the X-Box OR Gamecube.

Can't speak for the XBox, but the Gamecube's actually worth it, even if it's just a few games. *snuggles 'Cube*
