Halo 3!!!

[Mystery Fish]

I need to stop replying to posts with just a single word. One-hit KOs FTW.

[Orangey]

That's rather high and mighty from one such as yourself; regardless of the source, I wasn't being sarcastic; neither was I being serious though. Sarcasm is defined as 'the use of irony to mock or convey contempt'; I was neither mocking nor showing contempt towards you. What I was doing was employing hyperbolic intent; the relevant equations are: I don't like halo + you like halo = I don't like you = I hope you die because death = bad and I want f(you) = bad. Grown up enough for you?

Regardless of the mathematosemantics, there's no reason for such childish (yes, I said childish Mr. Telling-other-people-to-grow-up) snippiness. If you have a problem with me or what I say, do, stand for, date, breathe, or otherwise [verb], say some-thing, be it in a private message or right here on the forums. Conversely, if you generally don't have a problem with me, and are just getting your feathers ruffled because I insulted a game you don't like, then you're jut being unbelievably whiny, which makes your telling me to grow up even more ironic.''

Essentially, what you're doing is blowing a tongue-in-cheek passing comment into a fight; real 'grown up' of you.

Irrespective of your reasoning for it, your comment was wholly un-called-for. Grow up.

Boys, boys. I think we can all see that there is only one way to settle this argument: a race around the world. On the count of go:

Ready?

GO!

Necessary?
Look, I didn't mean to start a flame war or anything, it just sounded more offensive when I read it. But now you've gone and over-blown this thing even further. Hmm, sound childish to you?

[Orangey]

No, what I've done is laid out what I was thinking, rather than leave ambiguous my thought processes and let things degenerate further.

The reason I took such offense to your post was that I had made a comment that I thought was obviously unserious; If I wanted dead every-one that liked a video game I didn't, I doubt we'd have that many people left living. Had you responded with 'I hope you die too', or 'Whatever', or even ignored me, there wouldn't have been a problem; instead, what you did was post a sentence with such an air of 'I'm better than you' that no-one couldn't take offense to it; it was a sentence with a contemptuous little filck at the end of it, the grammatical equivalent of slapping me with a glove and throwing it on the ground. And then stepping on it. And then... Well, you get the picture. (Additionally, if you're going to argue that the intent of that post wasn't to offend then I could well say the same thing about mine, so...)

On an entirely different subject, I think that Halo and all its identical progeny are all inferior to the Half-Life series. Just throwin' that out there.

[Silfedac]

As I also want to avoid a flame war here, I suggest that both of you shut up before one gets started. You both have points. Kentan, he wasn't serious, stop making a big deal about it. Orangey, You've made your point, now step down. For god's sake, this is a forum about a comic.

[Orangey]

I nose, I nose. That's why I ended with a likely-to-start-discussion comment like one that points out HL's total superiority to Halo.

But if getting that out of your system made you feel any better, more power to you.

[Silfedac]

I feel good now.

[Orangey]

Like, in fact, you knew that you would?

[Silfedac]

...yes.

[Orangey]

SAXOPHONE SOLO!

What? No more sparks? But my popcorn just got out of the microwave...

Halo totally needs a gravity gun   

[Silfedac]

You know, there is only one shooter I have played that I've actually liked/not sucked at, and that's Resistence. Some weapons from that game that should be on every game are the Bullseye rifle and the Hedgehog grenade.

[Orangey]

In real life, I know a girl, one of whose aspirations was to become a teahcer, preferably elementary school; she said that were she to become a teacher, she would have an unusual method of disciplining her students: in her class-room, she would keep cages of hedgehogs, and when her students were being disruptive, she would pull one out and throw it at them. She said it was perfect, because it would certainly train them to behave in short order, and no parent would believe that their child's teacher was hurling small mammals across the room.

[Mystery Fish]

Haha!
Next step: strap a few sticks of dynamite to 'em, et voila! Hedgehog bombs, ready for action.
Although, that might get her into trouble, just a tad.

[Orangey]

I dunno. When's the last elementary class happened in which some-one hasn't lost the odd limb?
The only problem is, where'd she get dynamite?

[Mystery Fish]

Ah, good point. She'd have to sacrifice some time to make the explosives, or at least lots of money on some sort of pyrotechnic black market.

[Ðefiance]

Or she could make one.

[Silfedac]

Make one what? A hedgehog?

[Mystery Fish]

I think she's specifying the explosives.

[Ðefiance]

He? HE?!??!

Pacify your tongue, woman!

[DomanickX]

oh its a girl.........
That changes everything
EVERYONE SHUT UP DONT INSULT THE WOMEN

[Kal]

Halo totally needs a gravity gun   

It has one. Of course, it's not nearly as cool as the one in half-life, and you have to use developer mode on the PC version to get it, but it has one.


So, who here plays custom edition, and what names do you go by?

[Mystery Fish]

Eek...
Sorry Ðefiance!
