[QUOTE=Jimbomcb;25721169]lay off him[/QUOTE] Yes, won't someone please think about poor Bobby? Counting his money just wouldn't feel the same if he knew people were saying mean things on the internet.
[QUOTE=Melnek;25704973]No not really. He's hated by edgy teenagers who dont want to see other people enjoying mainstream gaming. AKA the most irrelevant and bluntly pathetic group of people in the industry. If he's so hated how come MW2 is one of the most sold games of all time? AND is the most anticipated game this decade?[/QUOTE] Keep in mind that customers don't necessarily like Kotick/Actvision, they like the Call of Duty franchise.
[QUOTE=Kalibos;25699585]:godwin: on only the third post, nice work![/QUOTE] [img]http://img820.imageshack.us/img820/2787/inigomontoya.jpg[/img] You keep saying that. I don't think you know what that word means.
[QUOTE=Jenkem;25733308][img_thumb]http://img820.imageshack.us/img820/2787/inigomontoya.jpg[/img_thumb] You keep saying that. I don't think you know what that word means.[/QUOTE] I don't know how Jenkem... But you actually said something that... Was not factually inept.
[QUOTE=Warhol;25733342]I don't know how Jenkem... But you actually said something that... Was not factually inept.[/QUOTE] Technically Inigo Montoya said it.

I don't think you know what that word means.[/QUOTE] the quote is "you keep saying that word. I do not think it means what you think it means" and please jenkem, enlighten me, god knows how empty my life is until you bestow some of your wisdom upon me
[QUOTE=Mingebox;25733359]Technically Inigo Montoya said it.[/QUOTE] Technically, this has no relevance to the discussion whatsoever. [QUOTE=Warhol;25706127]I only know Bobby Kotick as some short asshole with a ukulele[/QUOTE] Finally, you said something I almost agree with...except I don't quite get it. [QUOTE=Kalibos;25733656]the quote is "you keep saying that word. I do not think it means what you think it means"[/QUOTE] And? I didn't put it in quotes. It was a paraphrasal. [QUOTE]and please jenkem, enlighten me, god knows how empty my life is until you bestow some of your wisdom upon me[/QUOTE] No, I think I'll leave you dangling on terrifying uncertainty for the rest of your dubiously useful existence instead.
[QUOTE=Kalibos;25733656]the quote is "you keep saying that word. I do not think it means what you think it means" and please jenkem, enlighten me, god knows how empty my life is until you bestow some of your wisdom upon me[/QUOTE] To be fair, I agree with you, but godwin's law is so misconstrued.
[QUOTE=Jenkem;25733701]No, I think I'll leave you dangling on terrifying uncertainty for the rest of your dubiously useful existence instead.[/QUOTE] Well tbh I didn't expect anything more from you so I'll (safely and reasonably, I feel, based on your posting history) assume you're unable to elaborate so okay
[QUOTE=Jenkem;25733701]Technically, this has no relevance to the discussion whatsoever. [/QUOTE] Technically... uh, your mom.
[QUOTE=Warhol;25733785]To be fair, I agree with you, but godwin's law is so misconstrued.[/QUOTE] indeed it often is but I don't feel I've misconstrued it in this particular case
[QUOTE=Kalibos;25733849]indeed it often is but I don't feel I've misconstrued it in this particular case[/QUOTE] His point was that influential wasn't necessarily positive term, not that Kotick was like Hitler.
In a way, you said it in the right context.
[QUOTE=Kalibos;25733830]Well tbh I didn't expect anything more from you so I'll (safely and reasonably, I feel, based on your posting history) assume you're unable to elaborate so okay[/QUOTE] No, you misunderstand me. I have to be in the mood to post, and I don't have so much time in the day that I can keep following a thread after posting in it for the sake of appeasing and appealing to the minds of other self-centered posters. I hit and run most of the time. It's not because I can't reply. [QUOTE=Warhol;25733785]To be fair, I agree with you, but godwin's law is so misconstrued.[/QUOTE] People reference Godwin's law every time Hitler is mentioned, regardless of context. It's somewhat irritating, hence why I made the movie reference I did.
[QUOTE=Mingebox;25733927]His point was that influential wasn't necessarily positive term, not that Kotick was like Hitler.[/QUOTE] positive/negative has nothing to do with it. godwin's law is that the longer an online discussion goes on, the probability of a comparison involving hitler or nazis approaches 1:1 a comparison involving hitler did indeed occur in the third post in hence
Jenkem, you're right about Godwin's law, but upon further review, Kalibos said it in the correct context.
[QUOTE=Warhol;25734181]Jenkem, you're right about Godwin's law, but upon further review, Kalibos said it in the correct context.[/QUOTE] I thought Godwin's law was something else. Nevermind, then.
[QUOTE=Kalibos;25734033]positive/negative has nothing to do with it. godwin's law is that the longer an online discussion goes on, the probability of a comparison involving hitler or nazis approaches 1:1 a comparison involving hitler did indeed occur in the third post in hence[/QUOTE] Except it wasn't a comparison involving Hitler, it was an analogy showing how a bad person can be influential. the point of Godwin's law is to demonstrate the tendency to compare others to Nazis to imply they are like Nazis, not use Nazis in an example of something.
