	Man, this is great. I love it when fellow gaming nerds get all holier-than-thou about stuff. Also, your icon is TEH WIN. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	No, yours is. <3 And I guess I must be an unwashed heathen because I played FF8 with the help of the strategy guide. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Gaav lovers unite! Whee! <3 I guess I must've sullied myself because I've gone from not using guides in my youth to using them now in my ripe old twenties. Nevermind that I don't have the time to be playing as much as I used to, and thus don't want to waste it running around in circles, I've fallen from grace! (Reply to this)(Parent)

	But pretty game guides are so NICE! I bring by brand new Resident Evil Outbreak guide with me wherever I go because I'm just a tad obsessed at the moment and omg KEVIN I would fuck you in an INSTANT. In any case, a big "what the fuck" at the above. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Your motives are clear to me. I myself get mean at some dipshit once in a while. The only reason for that really IS to ventilate. Awhhh, he posts like poetry. <3333 (Reply to this)(Thread)

"YOU LOSE AT LIFE, INSERT COIN TO CONTINUE."

That so calls for an icon. And OP of that bitty wank needs a beating by e.e cummings. I'm sure Mr. Cummings would be pleased to perform, considering that he's just about rolled in his grave by now.

Gah, stupids is just about ate up this guy. He'd probably have a heart attack to know I had to use strategy guides for Final Fantasy 8 and 9.

	Hell, I use strategy guides so I know I don't miss something. Especially for complex games like Final Fantasy (whatever) that have fifty gajillion obscure sidequests. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	annabelle_lee 2004-12-01 07:20 pm UTC (link)
	Amen to that, especially for FF8. Why the hell that game had to be so damn complicated is beyond me. Still... Must. Get. All. Summons. No. Matter. How. Stupid! (I just got the FF9 guide for teh pretties since the game was so simple. Mmmm...art.) (Reply to this)(Parent)

	chaos_seahorse 2004-12-04 04:37 am UTC (link)
	I do that too. Often, when I try to beat a game (usually a RPG) with no guide, I end up kicking myself when I found out I missed the One and Only Chance to get some uber-rare-awesome item... it's not that I can't do it without the guide, I just don't like to miss things. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	I think someone had a bad experience with a Prima players guide... now those ones, I wouldn't use for toilet paper. Besides, how else are UNTRUE FANS supposed to get their hands on the artwork and developer interviews (in the case of the "Nintendo Power" guides) without a player's guide? (Reply to this)

	I've been lurking for a while, and keep noticing references to various laws, but can't figure out what they are. What is Godwin's Law? Or any of the others, if nobody minds me asking... -Clawed, lurker anonymouse. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Sigh. Legacy Of Kain wank, tons an' tons of Zelda wank, Devil May Cry wank, now Jak And Daxter wank. All my favorite adventure titles have the stink of wank on them.

	Be careful: by asking about a wank, you might accidently summon one. Wank. It's like a demon, in a way. A demon of splooge. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	As far I know the Nosgothic Realm would be full of wank/debates over who has teh cooler theory 'bout the series. I only go there off and on now... The Eidos board might have some too. I know the last LoK wank I got into was posted to i_wank and that was a few months ago and on lj... I'm half tempted to go digging for it now. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	purest_chaos 2004-12-02 06:33 am UTC (link)
	That was probably it. I still had fun in that one there. I'd like to see if I can find some fresh wank tho. I can ask my friends who actually frequent the Nosgothic Realm if there has been anything interesting going on flamewar wise. There has got to be something there. There always is.

	There should be a fandom-specific version of Godwin's Law for comparisons to the Bad Guys in your canon. Especially if the argument has nothing to do with canon, but is simply an argument on a random subject between people who happen to be in the same fandom. londonkds (http://www.livejournal.com/users/londonkds) on LJ (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Darn it, I see Precursors and Precursors Legacy and all I can think of is Starcontrol II. I AM SO BEHIND. I carry around an old Super Metroid strategy guide. I love it so. Then again, I got it after I beat the game the first time just cause I love ~~Samus~~ the art in it and stuff. (Reply to this)
