Personal attacks? really? I was trying to have a dignified discussion and here we go with the whining.
Just because I started being a geek in 97 doesn't mean I never played games before it. I've beaten Doom 1 through 3 multiple times. I started on X-wing Alliance and actually worked backwords through the games beforehand.
You were calling it an arcade shooter in another topic. I'm sorry if this doesn't apply over, but I have a long memory. Comes with being redundant [/sarcasm].
Tasers have less than a 1% fatality rate last I checked. They have hundreds of thousands of uses in the field, with somewhere in the ballpark of two hundred fatalities, mostly stemming from being shocked multiple times. If you really want me to, I can look up deaths from martial arts and/or hand to hand combat and draw a really pretty graph.
Rose colored glasses?...You're scraping the bottom of the barrel for personal insults there my friend. You must have a photographic memory, if you never use the internet. In college, I've been required to write quadrillions of essays, I've TAed, tutored and even taught one class on history and I can't tell you a single time that I did it without the help of the internet on at least one occasion. I know for a fact that a majority of my professors use it on regular occasions. My psych teacher uses the internet to source most of his lectures and he's got a PHD. I'd say he knows what he's talking about.
You're very eager to prove your point. I never said I didn't play games BEFORE 97. There's millions of games out on the market, from Atari to X-box 360, from E.T. to Crysis. When I said this...
Notice the phrase top ranking? Key words. I don't have the time or money to buy every game that comes out. I have to pay for things like rent, gas and I dunno...food? Kinda helpful sometimes, stimulates the brain and pretty much makes sure you don't DIE.
I've played almost all of the classics, the only one I regret not being able to play yet is Wizard, which is on my harddrive somewhere, just haven't gotten to it. Darkforces, Doom and Duke Nukem were some of my first games back when my computer had less hard-drive space than my modern day phone.
Don't hate just because I wasn't a geek all my life. Sheesh. With all the slams you threw at me, it's like I mentioned I'm socialist or something.
I like a well formed argument because I enjoy arguing. It's why I'm going to law school in the near future. The fact that you degrade to personal attacks and saying "ohnoz you're fail" while I clearly stated the facts kinda makes you look like a complete douche. So far all you've done is attack my character and bring up a single fact on the military. That's hardly the superior intellect that you're trying oh so hard to show [See, I can do it too! Oh fun! /sarcasm].
You see, I don't have issues with melee in games. I have issues when people play games and try to convince them that their way is best. You have a very dry, very egotistical attitude when it comes to melee and that makes me dislike you, hence my comments. Minorities always get annoying when they want attention.

Soldar said:Tazing, beanbag guns? You still don't think those kind of weapons can cause severe damage or death to a person? You sir, are putting words into my mouth as well.

Soldar said:You must be living in your own fantasy world where everyone in your dream world thinks your right or you're looking through rose colored glasses. Because I don't see anywhere you corrected me on anything when half the shit you try to bring up is already known. You just do it to make yourself or try to tell yourself. 'I'm deh winer!" You don't need to look anything up on the internet if you know what you're talking about.

Soldar said:Doom was out before 97. And you think of yourself as a gamer? Only playing things on the computer? Your knowledge of games just now diminished. You have no gamer cred. Thank you and good night.
