Why? Because I have seen everything on it in real life. Every single thing. :D

This was as almost as good as the guy I saw ask a clerk at Gamestop for Halo on the PS2.
Sounds exactly like my sister.
Quote#9 "Hey, are you winning?!" Umm, this is an RPG with hundreds of quests and paths over dozens of hours, so it's really hard to s-... "Cool! How many points you got?" Sigh.
XD so true
I bookmarked it.
Now if only we could show this to nongamers >.>
Oh, god that was so true.
100% accurate
Yeah..
i really hate when someone see's my playing Guitar hero or any other game im good at and just go on and on about how I have no life =/
This is the one I like the most and is 100% true with no flaws.
#25 Don't be an enabler.
By purchasing licensed dreck (and the poopty sequels to licensed dreck) simply because you recognize the celebrity on the front of the box, you're pulling down the entire industry. Enter the Matrix sells millions while Okami sells thousands. Space Chimps and Van Helsing get multi-platform releases, while Psychonauts is denied a sequel. We all suffer because of your poorly informed taste.
Buy good games or don't buy games at all. PLEASE.

Yes, this is 100% true and I will often point parents to good games if they ask for recommendations.

My friend (A GAMER) used to ask me that over the phone. >:(

I wasent winning, I just never lose.
I also like the "guest controller" thing. It's so true, I have my own controllers I never let anyone else use because I keep them in nigh perfect condition.
#15 No, his name isn't "Zelda." It's Link. Samus isn't "Metroid" and Pikachu isn't "Pokemon." Sometimes videogames - like books, films and television - are complex enough to contain characters with names separate from the title. Hard to believe, but true!
Love this one.
They took an unnecessary jab at Animal Crossing though. >:(

No, they took a jab at people who don't save in games where saving is basically required.

Uh, sure.
It's kind of hard to determine winningness in Geometry Wars.

Ahhh okay.
I didn't get a few of those.
25 is pure win.
That is so intercourse ing true. All were 100% accurate. I bookmarked that.
I love this list :)
Quote#20 Hold the eff on. Whatever you want from us, we can't do anything until we save. No, really. No, nothing. You want to lose the last 45 minutes of your life, too? Then deal with it.
My mom does not and will not understand that D:

And included Animal Crossing, which happens to seemingly
try to make saving difficult. Using a combination of saving only being available alongside quitting, the longish save/load times, and Mr.Resetti.
I like that list and a few things linked from it are interesting as well.
#5 It's your fault. Not the game's. Not the controller's. Not the connection's. Not the lighting's. Yours.
No Johns :O
This one was my favorite.
#7 "Hello 3" for the Sony Wii does not exist. It will never exist. When we patiently try to explain this to you, please don't blame us for your mixed information. Gamers have not organized themselves into a secret, worldwide conspiracy merely to keep the best titles away from you. Maybe you're just wrong.

Wild World fixed that.
Then again, you could just close your DS >_>
Quote from: Byte on August 08, 2008, 09:09:03 AM
Wild World fixed that.
Unless you're connected online, it doesn't fix that at all.
I've actually never played the Gamecube one >.>
Meh, I don't see why everyone is so amazed at this list.
It just sounds like people nagging at people who don't play games that much.
#10 - Who cares if somebody sucks? They probably don't play as much as you, so let 'em have fun.
#11 - That is kind of funny, as long as you do it like once the whole day. :P
#15 - Well, if you play the game you know he's Link. But if you don't play Zelda, you're going to think his name is Zelda. ;)
I agree with #25 though. :P
But most of this is just stupid.

Well, we all have opinions.
But I think this list is awesome because I see the things on the list all the time.
Wow. Thats 100% true. :O
7,8, 20, and 15 ftw!
quote from their forum. '"I keep attacking that thing why doesnt anything happen?'
maybe cuz its a rock. i hate that. i hav some non-gamer friends and whenever they come over and we play anything that involves attacking anything the first five minutes is spent explaining that not everything you attack is going to react to it. and besides if nothing happened the last 5000 times u attacked that tree what the hell makes u think that somethings going to happen this time."
#20 Whatever you want from us, we can't do anything until we save. No, really. No, nothing.
i wish people would listen to me when i try to say that.
