Zero Punctuation: Mailbag Showdown

"'SSBB is actually a Supurb game as you can see by reading reviews' ?? See me" HAHA that was great.

Never really known anyone to use "God works in mysterious ways" as an excuse, personally I've always used it in reaction to someone thinking they know how something will turn out, like an argument against karma.
With that said, everything has things you can call "excuses", e.g. Evolution has the big comet that hit the earth to kill out all the dinosaurs, it seems Scientists don't have any other way to wipe out dinosaurs out of the Evolution process (since of course Humans take after apes rather then Dinosaurs and if anything they needed an excuse for Dinosaurs to have been wiped out somehow otherwise it just wouldn't make sense why they are in the dirt). Same with the Big Bang a bit too, how did the universe get created? Well think of the biggest explosion of energy you can think of, and that's how. Even with that excuse they still don't have an answer to what came before what was there already, a theory based solely on 'cause and effect' can never logically have a beginning.

I don't really get the system wars. I had a PS2, then the 360 dropped to $160 and I got that. Sure I play games like Halo and CoD4, but I also get less mainstream ones like random hack n' slashes or Armored Core. Dunno why people vigorously defend their systems to the death...criticizing somebody's game system is about as taboo as criticizing their religion. Pathetic.

 

[Harrow]

Bloody hell. That was a reasoned critical comeback, not just the bilefest I was expecting. Full marks.

It basically seemed to me to be "you guys are idiots, here's why". which is what happens whenever he talks about fans of anything mainstream, which he kind of is. Not that it isn't just, because 85% of the masses are morons, and 99.9995 of the masses that follow fads on the internet are morons. Thats what makes stuff like user made content so bad. This was hilarious.

Well the dinousaurs being wiped out by a comet can actually be proven, infact I believe I saw a documentory not too long ago where they believe they actualy found the site where the comet hit Earth (even came with its own video of everything getting wiped out, quite epic to watch!). But as for the big bang theory....well it's called a theory so that says it all really! I don't believe our minds will ever be able to fathom how we came into existence so it's futile to even try. Hence why some people opt for the God/religious theory. I'm not going to tell anybody they're wrong though, I gave up caring along time ago

 

[StormShaun]

I agree he showed them whos boss
and also slapped them around for a bit, jammed a fork up their arse and pushed them off a cliff into a spiky rock pit (lol)

Then why did you reply?

Finding the comet? Why isn't it more well known? Like when so many people find Jesus' bones? Many people claim they do, but it is all proven quite wrong since if it wasn't, everyone will bloody well let all us religious folk know.

And on you not fathoming that we will never know how stuff came into existence, I "kinda" agree with you in a way, if I wasn't Calvinistic I'd probably believe that man will never know our own origins). Was going to say something else, but cbf remembering. For the most part just wanted to post a different side of things.

I replied because I do care about religious vs. scientific debating, I just don't care about whether or not somebody believes something different from me. I just like to have open minded discussions with people without telling each other that everything they believe is shit.

To be honest I've never heard of anybody finding Jesus' bones either. How exactly would you tell? Im pretty sure they didn't keep dental records back then, so I don't really see how one persons bones would be any different from another persons of the same era, unless he had some obvious defining feature that I'm unaware of...

I can't remember the guys name now but I think it's the same guy who does Grand Designs, if you know that programme. Apparently it hit in the sea and caused a massive tsunami and rained down fiery brimstone-like stuff everywhere else. Its generally considered fact that the dinosaurs were wiped out like this, whereas evolution is a theory all be it a well thought out one that has yet to be disproved. The bing bang theory is a tad silly though, because what caused that in the first place? Nobody can explain it.

Wow I just realised we are MILES off topic XD lmao!

I just wanted to say Holy Christ, there are over 1200 posts in this thread, bravo.

The big bang theory is often misinterperated. it wasn't an exploision so much as a rapid expansion of matter into our univers from another. Think bubbles being blown from bubbles.

Also on topic. BURN. SSB fans just got there ass' handed to them. oh wait, im a SSB fan..*sob*

 

[Tharticus]

In general, fanboys exist because they are drawn into the company's spectacular games. And yes, there will be debates about how fanboys saying that their console is superior.

So in that theory does that mean that there should be other universes besides ours? Or am I just getting confused now? Thanks for correcting me though, nobodies ever actually explained that to me before.

Ah I liked the first super smash bros, didnt like melee as much and haven't played brawl.

Yes there is more than one universe (according to this theory). A rip or tear occured in its space time fabric (i.e. a black hole) and another universe, ours, was created. I think it sounds plausible, but i doubt we'll ever really prove how our universe came to be. Our own creation is still in question.

I liked the first smash bros to0, in fact its my fav all time game. I've played melee and didnt like it either. Brawl is, well, not bad but its not the first one either. Its like they took the whole get-hit-farther-with-more-damage system and through it out a window. 1 hit from, say, Roy and you go flying no matter what.

Yeh I don't think they'l ever be able to really prove it, not in our lifetime anyway.

It was one of my favourites too! used to spend hours playing that. Got pretty crazy when we turned the damage up to 200% and put the items on just bomb-ombs lol! Practically ended up in tears on the floor sometimes it was so funny. I miss old games!

Yeah old games are the best. N64 was great. Banjo Kazooie and diddy kong tracing were some of my favs as well. But recently ive been discovering old ps2 games, like shadow of the colossus and trapt. Most new games are just upgraded or new games remade. oh well. Heres to the 20$ bin at the local game store. *cheers*

Glad to see I'm not the only one who likes correcting people's grammar. Granted on the PC my grammar is not always perfect due to the fact I type fairly quickly. Glad to see you gave the fanboys what was coming to them.

Hmm will admit my views on Brawl are pretty mixed but to but it simply Melee yes Brawl no. Though I did like the new characters put in it and the special moves you can do I think that the joy was taken out of it due to the fact of: One the use of the Wii remote (saying that I do now use Gamecube controllers when playing), and two the fact I found that half the time you can't even differentiate which character is yours from the computers or your friends. Maybe its just that I'm bad at the game (I will admit I'm no expert due to the fact I do not play on the Wii a lot of the time. However seeing as I am able to competently play Melee I believe that my 'suckiness' or whatever you call it is not due to the incompetance of my gameplay). Maybe I just find that the characters are either moving to fast or that the screen is zoomed so far out that you're unable to see. I have come to the point that when I lose recognition of my character I find myself starting to button bash and hopefully by some miracle win the game. (That is if I have been able to keep my character from running over the edge). I can't say I totally hate it as I dont even own the game so am not fully qualified to make solid judgements but from my expirience of it I did somehow not enjoy the game as much as its predecessor.
