I don't see how he made it unreadable. It definitely didn't bother me,
but then I'm secure enough with my tastes in games not to be offended
when someone disagrees with me. --- Nominate Nidoran F. |

I don't even see what he did besides call people losers for bashing his grammar. A bit much, but he did have a point. People often put way too much significance on grammar than necessary for an internet message board. --- Nominate Nidoran F. |

I don't know if it's even linked to anywhere on GameFAQs anymore. Here's a copy I found through Google: http://ilx.wh3rd.net/thread.php?msgid=6411607 We could probably add it to one of the contest sites or something. --- Those people who think they know everything are a great annoyance to those of us who do. ~Isaac Asimov |

I mean, calling people losers isn't enough to make a topic "unreadable". If that offends you, then some of the topics during controversial matches would make you cry. Of course, those same topics give me a good laugh. --- Nominate Nidoran F. |

we always knew, Mastermage. anyway, I think the biggest match we've ever seen is in 30 minutes. it'll definitely break the vote record set today and there'll be lots of fighting on the board over which is better. sounds like a great final to me! too bad the first four weeks of this contest was only average. --- NOMINATE JAY SOLANO (Operation Shadow) for 2k6! http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=29527124 |

Yeah, this match has the potential to be both epic and hilarious. Probably not as hilarious as some other matches (Hello, GTA/Warcraft), but it may be one of the most epic yet. --- Nominate Nidoran F. |

tranny, read sigs some time. People often put way too much significance on grammar than necessary for an internet message board. Grammar is the only true gauge you have of someone online. If a user types like crap, he won't be taken seriously due to an obvious lack of intelligence. If said user acts like a jackass, he definitely won't be taken seriously. ~*ST*~ --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best. Game. Ever."

If said user acts like a jackass, he definitely won't be taken seriously. That I would argue with. The most popular people on some boards are the biggest jackasses. Hell, I've been taken seriously a lot when I've acted like a jackass. I kinda agree on the grammar thing, but again, I've seen some sharp people who know what they're talking about use poor grammar, and likewise idiots who use good grammar, so I don't even use that to judge people. It's best just to focus on what the person is actually saying, not how he's saying it. --- Nominate Nidoran F. |

Ulti: Yeah, the DS isn't really meant to control action games that well. It's not solid enough, but no handheld ever was. If the game was played on a console you wouldn't have issues with the controls. Oh, and the tiny mushroom is awesome. It's hard to use, but very effective once you can use it. What's wrong with a little challenge? "World 8 is cool because it's the only world in the game that's actually good." Well, I found the level design for World 8 to be stunning. I wasn't as impressed with the rest, but Nintendo saved the best for last. Also, Bowser's Castle in NSMB is probably the best level design I've seen this millenium. People rag on that aspect, but they don't consider that there ARE some amazing designs in the latter parts of the game. --- ... Detective in Sir Chris' Police |

That's a great picture, it was worth the wait. And is this all right Ulti?
