Well, it's been a while since I've posted a topic. Short borderline essay-ish thing time!.. Ahem.
There are a lot of games I love. More accurately, game series[footnote]Or would it be serieses? Is that even a word? God English is fucking weird.[/footnote]. Tales of, Zelda, Shin Megami Tensei, Monster Hunter, Devil May Cry, Viewtiful Joe, BlazBlue... Pretty much the only things that can ruin these games for me is if the games themselves sucked.
There is, however, one thing that comes extraordinarily close to ruining all these games for me. So very, very, very close.
For those of you who can't read titles, it's the fanbase. The fanbase of each and every one of of these games... If I ever met 90% of them in real life, I'd enter towards-down-towards-punch right in their face.
Most of the time when I look at these people, they're arguing over what their favorite game in a series was. They'll argue over whether or not the new DMC game is going to suck[footnote]It will. Shut up, that trailer did not look cool. It was fucking retarded. But that's a story I can rant about when it's actually released and I can yell "I TOLD YOU SO" in everyone's ears.[/footnote]. They'll argue that TIS GAEM IZ PURFUCKT AND ANY1 HOO DISAGRE3Z WIT ME SHUD DYE.[footnote]I'm looking at you, fans of Final Fantasy. Oh how I'm glaring at you over the internet.[/footnote]
But, at the end of the day I ignore these people. Anyone who's going to try grouping me together with some inbred retard who's incapable of using the shift key or who's space bar gets magically stuck every single god damn time they use any punctuation just because I happen to enjoy Wind Waker seriously needs to look at the world around them.
So, I'm curious, Escapees/Escapists, have you ever felt the slightest bit of shame over liking a game when the vast majority of the fanbase can't spell the word "the?" Or do you, like me, just shake your head, sigh, and continue playing Persona 3 without a care about what that makes others think of you?
(EDIT: Fixed the title. Good fucking god, why do we have to words that sound exactly the same and mean insanely similar things? The english language sucks. And it's the only one I know.)
