No, because no platform (or for that matter any thing in this universe) is perfect, so if something screws up then I will critique it as I wish.williebaz said:By traitor I mean someone who buys a console (or PC) then regrets their choice and procedes speaks down against their platform.
I used to own a PC that could be considered decent for gaming, however after getting sick of WOW and owning it for a few years I soon tired of missing out on console exclusives,, and the problems that come from a platform without standardized specs. I wound up hating on PC gaming. However currently I own a mac, and while I liked owning a mac for the first 90 days, once games like tf2 came out I immediately turned coat and started hating on macs and apple. On the other hand I currently game mostly on Xbox 360 and PS3 (using gamefly). I tend to defend both of these consoles. however I also bought a Wii (off of my friend for <100$) and I tend to flame it. So I guess I would fall under the category of "I defend a platform I own when it deserves it".
Are you a traitor?
Me too.ethaninja said:I dunno if I'm a traitor, I stay out of console wars. But I do get pissed off when someone starts shoving their console up my ass.
Your point? Doesn't change the perspective that you seem to go turncoat at the drop of a hat. Maybe it's because hate is a strong word (but I really really really don't like you); it implies something much stronger than simply "I developed a dislike for it". No, it comes across more as "FUCK YOU, PC!" *couple weeks later* "Hello, PC? I'm sorry! I want you back!"williebaz said:The PC was bought by my parents back when I was 12.Kimarous said:You're just flatout fickle.williebaz said:By traitor I mean someone who buys a console (or PC) then regrets their choice and procedes speaks down against their platform.

As far as gaming machines go, I have a PC, PS3, and Wii, as well as older systems like my PS2 and N64. I tend to appreciate them all equally, recognizing their individual stengths and flaws... with the exception of the Wii. While initially enthusiastic about it, the complete drought of half-decent titles has caused me to shun the system. Did I betray Nintendo? NO! Nintendo has betrayed US!
What you're saying would be true if I did want PC back. But I'm pretty happy with console gaming at the moment. What I was trying to say though is that I don't like having a mac because the option of playing TF2 for a couple of hours is impossible. That is until next month. I'm probably going to stop hating being a mac user around then.Kimarous said:Your point? Doesn't change the perspective that you seem to go turncoat at the drop of a hat.

Those too.Catchphrase said:Not the obnoxious, jerk-off prepubescent boys, right???MercenaryCanary said:Funny.
I didn't know that game consoles were now subject to being measured the same as people and countries. Isn't that usually the only things you can betray?
Slight comment aside, I only "flame" on a console I own if it is for a good reason. I'm sure a great majority of Xbox 360 owners know what I'm talking about.
