Title of Thread - "Dynasty Warriors Fans, I need your Aid!!" - Gaming Discussion

Post content -

Both are quite good, but DW6 is probably the best of the two. Strikeforce is fun, though, so give that a try if you can rent it.

Also, to all fans out there, please join us in screaming at Koei for making Samurai Warriors 3 a Wii exclusive. A WII EXCLUSIVE!

WHY?! There are barely any people who own a Wii who like this series. What kind of sense does that make?

Posting Ratio - 581 Total - 436 and 145 = 3.006

Comments - If I recall, I put this together within about three minutes after browsing the forums for a while. That said, that comment I made, I stand by it even now. (Sales back me up on it, too.)

I joined about a month ago and I commented on an oscar thread. Pretty sure I talked about how 127 hours deserved best picture.

I do love backing hopeless causes

I made over 500 posts in my first day on this site. It has... slowed alot since then.

Also... this topic probably belongs in off-topic, not here.

It was in a thread called "Great games that have gone unnoticed"

glover, it was always funny and it never got boring since all the levels are very imaginative

Ratio: Eh.. about ten posts in the first week or two...

Comments: Glover is still one of the oddest games I've played.
Back then my name was still gamekid171.

Yep. It makes me look like a complete idiot. I don't know what the hell I was thinking. Go find it if you want to.

I remember mine, it was back in the early days back when I was still young and aggressive and hadn't learned how to be friendly or respectful.
Let it be clear, this was back when I was full Halo fan (of which I still am proudly to this day) but before I had the sophistication to be nice and friendly. So with that in mind, this post does embarrass me but please don't hold it against me:

on the thread 'games you liked that had been deemed mediocre or hated by official game reviews.

First made on the 28th of February 2009 3:19 pm.

Post made on the fourth page at exactly 5:44 pm, March 2nd.

Okay so it wasn't quite officially revoked but in recent months the sheer level of annoying hateful fanboy pricks who are desperatley jumping onto a pathetic bandwagon or going like sheep and following the herd have created a mainstream hate for it. But the game that I loved that gets bashed a lot is Halo 3.
I fucking love that game, you hear me Sony Lovers!!! I am standing up as a proud member of the Halo nation and will not be intimidated by you fuckers who will try to force me to think like you. Fuck you facists.

P.S Okay I got a little angry at the end, I'm just sick of annoying angry fanboys.

PP.S If you are NOT one of those annoying fanboys who whine and ***** all the time about how Halo is 'shit' without giving a proper reason and are only doing it because hating Halo is 'in' right now, but are rather a nice open minded person who is willing to accept my opinion or even a fellow Halo fan yourself. Please disregard what I said.

That last bit I added myself as a testimony to who I am now as opposed to who I was but that's who I was to begin with. Not proud of it but it's a part of my past and I accept that I'm not that same person anymore.
