Animal Crossing fans: The Jig is Up

[Van Cruncheon]

it's straight up asspie fodder. you endlessly collect things, you endlessly organize things, you do simple pixel art, you follow and track a simple event calendar, you live a harmless, non-threatening, wholly sanitized virtual life in a feckless town full of cutesy lo-fi animals that make lame nintendo metajokes, and you ultimately spin your wheels in a shallow hamster wheel that allows you to perpetutate the illusion of productivity without actually forcing you to consider real goals or an endgame. that's PURE asspie!

and in the gamecube version, you unlocked NES games, giving an old skool gamer such as myself a goal to work towards.

are you THAT insecure that you have to furiously bang away at your keyboard whenever someone says something about a Nintendo game?

are you so insecure about your love of colorful children's mascots that you hafta white knight nintendo at every turn, senor?

see, these are rhetorical questions. on the other hand, it is established and credible FACT that animal crossing leads to child buggery. do you think pedophilia is COOL, corny? would you let ruzbeh watch your kid(s)?

[Van Cruncheon]

alternatively, just install a popcap game if your time is that trivial

they're better designed and not a gateway into kid diddlin'

Peggle > anything Nintendo has released in the past 5 years, bar Mario Galaxy.

The horrible truth about Animal Crossing:

Animal Crossing is indeed awesome. Nintendo had a series of sort of laid back, relaxing gaming experiences with the Gamecube. The only problem with AC is the same problem with real life, you don't get to pick your neighbors. If you got shitty animals in your village the experience was a lot less enjoyable than if you got good neighbors.

A rainy day in Animal Crossing was one of my favorite parts of last gen.

I also remember writing a suicide note on the town message board and then getting tons of letters form the villagers the next day. It was weird in a 'did the game do that on purpose" sort of way.

Playing AC is just an admission that nothing is going on in your life and you're incredibly bored. Nothing wrong with that, everyone goes through those phases in life. Just don't admit it in public.

It's like playing Slingo on AOL. Not that I have ever done that.

I don't KSA every fucking ninty thing that comes down the pike; I'm not, like, Woebedraggled or some shit

So you played a shitty game for hours just to unlock and play good NES games that you've already played to death/own/owned/have emulated?

Quit trying to use logic!

I don't argue with unemployed depressives.  Sorry Card Cheat.  Reorganise your priorities and stop judging folks, k?

lol u mad

No, but going by your posts I gather you're
-unemployed
-in a rut (aka do nothing depressive)
-loveless

and your pic wasn't flattering either.  I usually wouldn't judge someone in your position but you come across as a bitter old fat cynic who judges other folks for the things they enjoy and possible autistic afflictions. Speaks to a lack of empathy on your part, because no matter how long you've been in your rut, ASD often means isolation for decades. You play videogames in your thirties and post in forums.  You're not wasting your time any better than I am.  At the very least I have steady work.

Eh, thats a typical gamer in general.  Most active folks I know stick to one online fps in their downtime and don't bother with the niche stuff.

[EmCeeGrammar]

Whatever tubby.

[Human Snorenado]

Whatever pedo.

[EmCeeGrammar]

lol u mad!
Tubby pedo.
lol

[bork]

Get back on track with the AC/Nintendo bashing.

[demi]

Fuck off lyte tubby

[Human Snorenado]

lol u mad!
Tubby pedo.
lol

Dude,

A) that picture is like four years old
B) since I *HATE* children worse than even the average adult I doubt that I'm pedo material
C) I'm not unemployed, I'm a freelance video editor.  Yes my workload has dropped markedly since 2G2D began but I still get 1-2 projects a month that pay me in the $1-1.5k range
D) none of this changes the fact that you like shitty non-games.  You tried to fucking apologize for wii music.  WII MUSIC.

In summation, kindly fuck off.

[Human Snorenado]

lol he mad

Give us a new pic tubby. Lets see if your balder.
And its funny I make about as much as you.

[demi]

[Human Snorenado]

You make about as much as me... but I do about an average of 8-10 hours of work per job.  Haha.

Also, I don't have to try to go through life apologizing for shitty videogames.

So you get about 20 hrs a month?  Yeah, a fucking bum.  And who is apologising for wii music.  Like I said superior to the fischer price instrument genre in every way!  I don't apoligise for success. But unlike you I've played the games I diss. 
Listen I'll commission you Mr. Freelance to write an article about the minutia in the everyday life of a depressed bore.

[Human Snorenado]

You're about as capable of logic and reason as my 10 year old asspie nephew, so I'm just gonna go back to

lol u mad

[Human Snorenado]

To be fair, the last half a page or so has been Emceegrammar riding my cock with the single minded intensity that only an asspie can produce.

[chronovore]

This is easily the worst language I could have possibly imagined in a thread about Animal Crossing.

Fuckers.
