Chill out John Simmons

I don't mean to ruffle feathers, but I don't see why people pick on Link and vote down his posts, and tell him he is a nuisance. Some of his posts may be inane, but I have never seen anything malicious about them. Is he the focus of ridicule simply because he's a little different?

Have you really been following his posts? Some of them are malicious, whether intended or not that is how they are coming across. Now if Jeremy Falcon was defending him then you could safely assume others where just jumping on his case, for being "different" or "special". There is a reason though. Jeremy is the defender of anything that smells funny. :)
I'd love to help, but unfortunatley I have prior commitments monitoring the length of my grass. :Andrew Bleakley:

Sorry I didn't see your earlier posts until now, you kept suggesting FPS titles to challenge me, but didn't you know I'm Fatal1ty's dearest secret mentor? I'm quite busy mon - fri, if you want your ass kicked, we can have a CP frag party this sunday. We can also play HL2 deathmatch, so I can frag you with a toilet with a gravity gun, which is my favorite. Also, I have never stalked that woman once! So, stop making up story. Thank you. :)

I don't play half-life (although I do have HL2, but only so I can play DOD:S). It seems the respondents that claimed a game preference liked Quake4. The wife was going to pick it up for me on her way home from work last night, but Target didn't have it.

Ummmm, I don't think so...

This whole thing started after he offered to "take it outside". I gave him an "outside" to take it to. In fact, I gave him an "outside" that everyone else can participate in as well. Regardless of the game used, it'll be fun.

I got to the point after I was feeling sorry for myself about turning 30 he told me that I need to chill and go birth some children.
Really? I'm sorry I missed that one...

Holy crap ! You dont stand a chance of lasting even a minute unless you are intimately familiar with these games (weapons, moves, key combos). I tried to play HL2 with my 12 year old nephew, it is hopeless. From the looks of it John should ask for one month practice time before taking on Link.
Well, I don't play HL. I used to play quake back in the day, but for the last couple of years, I've playing DayOfDefeat because I like the WW2 theme. I'm willing to play quake4, but I gotta buy it first. Since it's only $20 at BestBuy, I figure everyone else can afford it too. I don't need a month's practice, I just have to bind the keys in such a way as to mitigate the my lack of maneuverability due to my miter-saw accident from a few years ago - I sliced all the extensor tendons on my left hand and as a result, I only have about 80% use of my left hand. I can't maneuver as well as most folks so I have to use slightly different tactics. I wonder if hooking up a joystick would help that...

Great! Now I am confused. Where should I put my money on you or on John?

I have a feeling that if more than just me and Link participated, people would gang up on him just out of spite, at least for the first few minutes. :)

I would prefer DOD:S, but he wannts to use HL2. I'm going to get Quake4 to serve as a possible middle ground (it's also cheaper to buy than DOD:S) and see what happens. I think I saw two other people say they'd prefer quake 4...
