Title: Rhetorical question...
Post by: Eiksirf on April 25, 2001, 11:55:07 AM
Anyone ever notice how the term N-fans can sound surprisingly close to infants?


Hmmm...

Also, being a rhetorical question, I don\'t expect any replies, but actually getting less than, say, 15 will certainly affect my ego...

It\'s pointless, I know, but I tried to think of ones for the other companies...  Microsoft\'s next holiday season ad campaign could promote an X-box X-mas...  The best I could come up with for "Sony Fans" is changing it to "So(ma)ny Fans"...

Oh well, time to head back to the "real world."

Well  we don\'t want you getting less than 15 now,do we?
So here\'s my contribution :)

And yes I have noticed that many followers of the big N seem very close to infancy.

I am a follower of Nintendo and I\'m a grown ass man.

Howzabout, PS2? Pee is too good to submerge it in.

I know I\'m reaching but oh well. :D

Heh, that\'s an overgeneralization. I could name several Nintendo fans who don\'t behave like idiotic dolts, and Sony and Microsoft fans that do. There are idiots in favor of every console, as there are a lot of intelligent ones.

Your retorical question... I don\'t understand what you\'re trying to say. :p

edit: Gack, how could I say "you\'re" in a place where I should say "your?" :::beats himself over the head with an English book:::

M4, I think he\'s just trying to make up put-down names out of each console.

>> You\'re rhetorical question... I don\'t understand what you\'re trying to say.

Not trying to say anything...  It\'s just a rhetorical question...  We\'ve all heard the "kiddy" stuff, and I thought that it sounding like infants was kind of interesting, ironic even.

>> Pee is too good to submerge it in.

Haha, I didn\'t catch that the first time.  "PS2"  That\'s pretty clever.

Also...

>> I\'m a grown ass man.

... That\'s a funny sentence if you read it wrong.  (i.e. What is an \'ass man?\'")

Hmm...  that\'s rhetorical too...  Don\'t really wanna find that one out. ;]

rhetorical answers are supposed to have self evident answers.  This can\'t possibly have a self evident answer (like "Do you want a million bucks?"), cause it is a opinion, or point of view.  

Personally, I find that yes, most N games are less mature than Sony games, but I still buy and play them, so who cares.  I could also care less about whether fans sound "childish", as long as they\'ve got valid opinions/views on subjects.

Where\'ve I been?  Not online as much, but when I am, I\'ve been sitting right about where I am now... just haven\'t clicked to PSX2central in a while.

For the record, I didn\'t say anything about the games or the fans being childish, but we\'ve all heard it so I thought the word relation was interesting...  I\'m an infa... N-fan, too, so I certainly wouldn\'t slam a group I was part of.

As for you PS2 fans, though!  ;]

I think Nintendos youth oriented games are healthy and helpful in connecting with your inner child. Not to mention fun as hell. How can anyone not like Nintendo?


As for the word play, I\'ve never used the phrase \'N-fan\', so any similarities are meaningless to me.

I don\'t see many references to n-fans on the web. I prefer to call myself a Nintendophile. Its funny and kinda creepy at the same time. :D
