Click on a poster’s name. If you have the option to send a PM, they’re active. If you don’t, they’re banned.
Not being able to see someone’s profile is the clue that they are gone.
I wonder how this will show on the chart. I’m not sure what the category is for anti-fanboy lunacy, but I hope to see good ol’ Harold and Bob for the icon.
Since we’ll be going back to a normal thread now, I assume, I’ll just post my final pictoral thoughts on Thamer.
No idea. Todd showed some stuff with a late-game character where the Enclave landed troops and shot at him on sight, but he may have already had a low rating with that faction. You can almost certainly get their power armor, though.
I know this is a somewhat misplaced bit of curiosity, but what about vehicles? If the vertibird exists, there’s a high chance the game could have… a desert buggy section…
Hey, that’s a nifty trick.
Pretty sure they’ve said there are no vehicles you can use.
Oh, Desslock, I never knew you were such a delicate flower, with sensibilities easily ruffled by sporting fun.
I would agree with Desslock if not for all the GIFs, especially the dinosaur ones, the Jesus ones, or the dinosaur-and-Jesus ones. Those redeemed the simpleminded bashing loops.
And yeah, this thread is congenitally meta at this point. I shudder to think what will happen when the game actually ships >-(
Sometimes I think forum flamewars are just a kind of multiplayer game where the only goal is to pull as much aggro as possible from the people you’re repeata-bashing, and the score is measured in catharsis units per post.
No.
Versus people who are hopeful about Fallout 3 and who honestly gave a shot at being productive for the first seventy or so pages until the lunatics got to a point where they simply couldn’t be taken seriously anymore. At that point they were simply getting the response they deserved.
When you’ve got a guy attacking Dan Stapleton’s journalistic integrity, insisting he’s going to start a letter writing campaign to get Matt Keil fired, and suggesting that Charles is making Ubisoft look bad, what is the proper response? There’s a point where one would rather laugh than cry.

I… I thought this was the game.
You mean Fallout 3 is real? It’s not just the best NMA bait ever?
Awesome.
I do agree that they ended up way over the line. At that point I hope some PMs would be sent explaining QT3’s policy that no one here is representing their company and threats like that are not only uncalled for, but not tolerated. If they continue, there’s always banning.
However, at the same time, sometimes feeding the trolls results in this.
Apparently!
Though really once we had thamer offering up nuggets of wisdom like
I think reasonable conversation went out the window.
Except it’s not sporting - it just seems distasteful, and when you consider their views so nutty, naive or irrational, I can’t think of a reason why you’d possible think it was worth your time treating them credibily or even responding. When they go over the line by threatening or harrassing developers, they’ll get bounced the hell out.
To put it another way, just because you can pound a retard’s head to applesauce doesn’t mean you should. After watching a growing stream of people line up to throw in an axekick, it just seemed to be devolving into shrill trainwreck. Aim higher, I guess. If people aren’t capable of a reasoned debate, then don’t join them on their retarded level because you risk delegitimizing your own criticisms. You can’t daytrip through shit.
The Groupthink got bored of him and gave him the thumbs down. Instead of letting thamer and datter continue to shit the thread up with their inane ranting we did what always happens. The torrent of dinosaur pics are unleashed and the thread is taken down by the neck like a doomed wildebeest on the Serengeti.
I’m not sure if you are a pod-person version of Desslock, I mean, do you actually read this forum? You can’t seriously be trying to make us think that this is the first time something like this has happened, can you?
Also, you could have quit at what, page 30, if you didn’t like people arguing with mental midgets? Why continue reading upwards of 90 pages if it so offends your moral axes? Oh right, you would prefer to swoop in and admonish all the little children mucking around in the playground. Thanks, paps, I think maybe it’s time for you to go home now. These Children of the Corn have been given a taste of blood.

So we should let dumb shit stand unchallenged because disagreeing with people who are obviously wrong will make us look bad?

Obviously we’ll start the “Fallout 3 is out! And we have opinions contrary to a vocal minority!” thread, which will quickly die because we’ll be too busy playing the game to argue with the trolls who post their hatred after not actually playing it.
