But TRYING TO INSULT is a completely different matter. And there's a small group folks here at Blues who do their utmost to do the "Oh he's a troll, ignore him!" bit.

Regardless of what you feel you are responding to, do you mean to tell me that you can honestly say you have no idea where the trolling accusation is coming from? Really?

and yet I find trolls to be the one ones who cant read or comprehend then chuckle everywhere as if stroking another's ego by insulting validates themselves...

Unless you get insulted when someone calls you a troll when you are trolling, I can't see how I insulted you. But yeah, you could be one of a hundred different personalities who come here with the same self-important swagger, same holier-than-thou attitude, same condescending, confrontational tone when it isn't called for. Sorry, I've seen too many to be impressed by yet another one.

Not sure if you're trying to contradict your own assessments here or what, but you're doing a pretty bang-up job of it....So please, don't assume you're 'telling it like it is' when all you're doing is literally the exact same thing you find "annoying".

I kind of chuckled at the irony myself.

"It's funny how trolls all tend to exhibit the same tendencies and say the same things, almost if they were controlled by a hive mind or something. "

He's an obvious troll, put him on ignore, that's what most others are doing anyway. Soon he can rail at himself with no one listening.

Or you will often embarrass yourself...

Much like you're doing right now...

You passive-aggressively put down people who don't have the same opinion that you do about a particular game.

The thing about opinions is that you cannot just "justify" them, as they are subjective by their very nature.

Except opinions, to be taken even somewhat seriously, should be rooted in experience.

Then there's you who state crap like "You passive-aggressively put down people who don't have the same opinion that you do"

and I ask... "where exactly do I put anyone down for their opinion?"

I smack the FUCK outta creeps who attack me personally, but anyone else I give a fair shake and respect their opinions.

Does this look familiar?

Ya it's a real longevity game. Out of the 74 steam friends who own the game, I may see 1 playing any given night, usually afk bullshitting to me or someone else...

H a r d c o r e!

The thing is, you constantly change your stance when someone calls you out on it. You can't just say that since you played a game that your opinion is somehow weighted higher than someone who didn't is just, well, funny. What you can say is that someone that hadn't played the game *might* be taking an uneducated stance on it, but that's about it.

For example, I can say that I find Rugby an uninteresting sport despite not actually playing it or researching it...it's an uneducated stance, but it's my own. This is an opinion rooted in experience, but it doesn't make my opinion any more, or less, valid than someone who finds Rugby interesting.

I wonder if there will ever be a time where the Gov't steps in to slow internet shopping down. We got all these abandoned strip malls, looks like hell. Fill them up or tear them down.

Oh look it's the Path of Exile snob. Yep - everything else sux except for PoE!

Have you tried looking at the total hours played for those friends of yours? Most of my friends who own it have played it for 30+ hours, often more than 60.

I've been bouncing around between BL2 and TL2 lately, but somehow I keep getting sucked back into PoE. It's not even done, and open beta is still a couple months away, but it has a powerful draw...

I don't play betas, but I am actually looking forward to trying out PoE when it releases despite my general aversion to the F2P model. I just get a touch annoyed at game elitists who have to belittle everything else, presumably because it somehow makes their game of choice look better.
