    I got a chuckle out of that part, too. I really didn't find the rest funny, though.

    There isn't a "right" or "wrong" way to play, if you want to use a screwdriver to put nails into wood, have at it, simply don't complain when the guy next to you with the hammer is doing it much better and easier. - Allein

    My worry is that if I find myself categorizing posts by archetype poster types, focusing on the style of communication, I've probabily started ignoring the actual ideas the person behind each post is attempting to communicate.

    hahahahahahahahahha

    Nicely done.

    But, really, can't you put in poster 16 to say something like, "who cares as long as it's fun." I think that guy deserves to be immortalized in print for sheer post count, alone.

    Poster 4.

    Luckily, i don't need you to like me to enjoy video games. -nariusseldon.
    In F2P I think it's more a case of the game's trying to play the player's. -laserit

    Respect the wise elders! Poster 4 is right and the others are wrong.

    On this site he'd be saying who cares as long as it's free.

    With gamers being so good pattern recognition until such patterns become boring its funny they go to forums and create the same recurring patterns.

    Forums are a wealth of knowledge...  that only exist for others to disagree with.

    I'd say poster 1 or  poster 7, but I hate addressing preferences (whether or not I consider a game good/bad) and I hate cherry picking and semantics, but I will ramble endlessly about whatever subject is at hand and seem to spin into wall of text arguments with people that both cherry pick and only argue forms of opinion or over semantics.

     

    So I'm that other annoying one that didn't get mentioned. :p

    OK, so I am clearly poster 4, would you kids get off my damn lawn now!

    I enjoyed the strip and clearly have seen examples of just about every panel in there on these forums.

    I think at some point, I have probably been all of them :)

    Great laughs. Thanks, OP!

    Personally the only modern MMORPG trend that annoys me is the idea that MMOs need to be designed in a way to attract people who don't actually like MMOs. Which to me makes about as much sense as someone trying to figure out a way to get vegetarians to eat at their steakhouse.
