Funny thing is I didn't even have to hit the link to know this was vault dweller....perhaps he should change his name to dwelling on negatives?
You have to see things from his perspective. Whats his forum name? Whats his favorite series? Whats happening to it?
Look how angry Star Wars fans were at episodes 1-3. Imagine some guy whose forum name was Luke Skywalker, leading up to the release of Eposide 1, and he found out it was going to only have in common with the original trilogy the general setting, but highly bastardized and raped, and it was going to star Jim Carey as a slapstick space lawyer, fresh from time traveling to Vietnam, who could shoot nuclear missiles out of his Jedi light saber, and 95% of the population was Jedi. And the Jedi could fly and transform into gigantic mac trucks, robo-jedi, and space ships. How much angrier would that guy have been?
How much of a slap in the face would it be to him if all the movie critics got behinf the fake Star Wars movie and supported it 100%, telling him he was an idiot and wrong to ever believe he should think the new Star Wars trilogy should bear any sort of resemblance to the original movies that he was a huge fan of, and that he is wrong for thinking the new movies were not staying true to what Star Wars are all about.
At least movie critics know their art. Game journalists just continue to prove they can be bought, know nothing about the medium they write for, and ore ignorantly unprofessional. This is the only medium that the fans know more than the "professionals." How acceptable would it be for a lit teacher to not just be totally ignorant about a whole genre of literature, but spout pure nonsense and drivel about one of the most important pieces to be written in that genre? It wouldn't. No one would take that "professional" seriously, and he wouldn't, and shouldn't, be allowed to call himself such.
Gaming journalists are retards (present company excluded) that know absolutely zero besides how to string words together and get it printed or posted to an equally retarded and bad source of information website or magazine, geared towards children who only are impressed with shiny pictures and can barely read anyway.
Would that be acceptable for movie critics? Theatre critics? I can’t think of any other medium that would be okay for. Maybe TV critics? I don’t know. Yes, if it was for the Disney channel. Is this an adult hobby or no? (Not really, but that’s a different story, lets fake it is, since there are a lot of old people on this site). FO3 is supposed to be rated Mature, yet where is the maturity? In the journalists covering it?
What does VD have to be positive about (besides being positive that his favorite franchise has been destroyed, but instead of going out with a whimper, its going out with applause and cheer and much fanfare and the blessing of the masses). If something you loved was raped and destroyed in front of your eyes while a huge crowd cheered on whoever was destroying it, I’m sure you wouldn’t be so upbeat and positive about the tragedy.
If you were a good and sensitive person you’d send VD a PM telling him that it’s okay and that you know he is in pain and one day maybe the bad men will stop this senseless raping and destroying of the loved things of peaceful people who, at heart, just want to love and be loved back. Go on.
Edit: Just so people try and pick apart my Star Wars analogy. I am not a big fan. I actually think episodes 1-3 are far better than 4-6. I have very poor and mainstream taste in movies. I thought transformers was great.
(secret message to stinkypants vd: this in no way is an indication that the war is over. Politics make strange bed fellows, usurper--KR 4 eva dude!!!!!).
