Gaming is no stranger to absurdity, hyperbole and other forms of extremes. How about we turn it up a notch?
In this thread we make up stuff that would be a ridiculous/silly thing to say in any conversation about gaming. Even more so than the ones we usually see in discussions about games.
DISCLAIMER:
The statements are for fun, so please don't use actual statements you've come across (unless it's a coincidence). Let's not start any fights.
Let's be cool and try not turn it into a silly console war or any other type of keyboard-battlefield - all should be posted in good faith and not to bait anyone.
The statements should be only somewhat tangentially grounded in reality - remember, it's not serious and not aimed at any group or individual. Think of it as a slight parody of how wildly black and white some statements about gaming are.
Examples of what I had in mind:
1) (saying it in obnoxiously long vowels): "If I don't get to play the game at 4k on my Pro I effectively get less of the product (game) and I'm entitled to a 75% reduced price, since I'm losing 75% of the pixels in 1080p.
2) I can't take any devs that don't wear glasses seriously... Like, come on... If they really have worked hard on games all this time it should've taken a toll on their eyesight. Otherwise it's a red flag I tell you... And contacts don't count - they itch.
3) PC owners should be made to pay tax on their rigs if they exceed 300 watts. After all, we do a similar thing with cars.
4) Japanese games are chuck-full of subliminal messages that force you to love underwear.
5) If you are a guy and you don't like FPS games, you have a problem with your masculinity. Get some GEARS AND HALOS in there already!
6) If you make more that 3 games in you game-making career you are a fraud. A true artisan true to his or her vocation would not churn out games fast like that. Shame on you!
7) We should force people to have a "manchild" score on every gaming forum. If you are over 30 and play a Nintendo title it adds to your score until you earn a permanent ban (let's say 3 point per title with a limit of 10). Let's weed out the weirdos.
8) If you like Nvidia cards, you are a pot-head.
9) If I take 10 random screenshots of your game, analyze them in Photoshop and don't find at least 5 distinctly different colors in them, you are a depressing person and I don't want your game.
I'm eagerly awaiting your input.
