Volourn is biased!

Don't let the troll (and no, not you Ted) start up the bias vs opinion debate again... geez.

That's interesting, because not only Spazboy is one of the better staff members, there's little to no reason why the above should be taken as representative of his ability to be a news reporter, given the use of profanity and the ability to report news in an unbiased way are unrelated.

Keep in mind that Nerwhatever is most likely one of those fantasy gamers. They have the ability to jerk off to half naked elves in D&D manuals, but profanity scares them.

Mmm... half naked elves...


"profanity scares them."

Nope.. Profanity turns me on more than nakedness does...

Moreover, if you reflect the standard of news reporters for this site, then the sooner it dies the better for the whole Net community.
Who the fuck are you to decide what's better "for the whole Net community"? Don't like the site, get the fuck out, simple as that.

Yeah, because the 'Codex never does that. LOL

Please don't pull that STFU card when someone posts something you disagree with.

Does what? Decides what's better for the whole Net community? When and where?

Disagree with what? "I hope that you site dies quickly"? Was that an argument? A position? A point of view? It was an idiotic remark that completely deserved the answer I gave. People who register to say "your site sucks" are not doing that to start a meaningful discussion.

Btw, I thought that profanity turned you on. :wink:

Jesus fucked Christ? Wow, I knew he's God; but that's impressive even for him! And, gross at the same time...


"Does what? Decides what's better for the whole Net community? When and where?"

All the time, and everywhere. Afterall, 'Codex has a habit of saying if only X reviewer did a better job everyone would be better off or if Y developer would justc rash and burn better games would be made. Etc,., etc.


"People who register to say "your site sucks" are not doing that to start a meaningful discussion."

Probably not; but it is a position, and point of view. It's also an argument though one that needs some points to back it up.


"I thought that profanity turned you on"

It does which is why I replied to you. LOL And, why i'm enjoying the New RPGCodex tm. immensely. :lol:

I thought that we always made it clear that these are the features for the hardcore audience and bitched that morons aka the majority of "the whole Net community" is too stupid to care. So, no mis-representation here.

I see. Well, in that case my "get the fuck out" was also an argument that needs some points to present it better and more convincingly

The new Codex?

Have you NOT the noticed the change? The 'Codex has always been in your face; but now it's like everyone is on "super shit in my cornflakes, hey" drugs. :twisted:

Unfortunately, I did. Reminds me of many other forums and the reasons I never wanted to join them. Oh well, things change, and I can always take my own advice (see above).

Go shove it up your ass, you hypocrite.

By the way, as much as I am an atheist, taking the Lord's name in vein like that (e.g. Jesus fucking christ) is completely unnecessary and seems to serve only as 'shock content' like the majority of your posts. Remove the shock content and all you're left are a bunch of hollow, unconnected subjects.

Well this topic if anything has proven Codex is far from biased.

I wouldn't want to think what would happen if it suddenly reached some concensus for example about NWN2.
Feargie in his next interview would went: "I slam dunked Codex in the ass, oh yea, even da scurvy FO fans. They're my bitches now." :wink:

Exitium strikes again! Everewhere I post, he's there to make an insulting comment like some fucked up internet Batman. I already explained my position on that to Volourn above, so go read it if you care.

Yeah, I know he's becoming a real crotch biter. I don't mind having a discussion with some one who has an actual point or stake in the argument. All he does is: pop in, hurl an insult, rant about the injustices being visited upon Bethesda, and then make non-contextual comparisons to Troika. It's just absurd; it reminds me of that phrase he went through when his post count was low, so he'd just make multiple consecutive posts.

That's it. I've had it with you. You went off the deep end. One thing is to insult a random videogame company PR, but insulting the grandiose memory of Batman is going way overboard. Prepare to feel my wrath! :lol:

Is this the right man ?

The music is, uh well, original or something beyond my sanity at least.

So they have same names ? They can't be the same man ? Right ? Not 'real' Tim Cain has left Troika ? Say so ? Please ? Seriously ? :?
