This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

X sucks

Have any of you played X? Man does it suck. Especially the bit about Y. God if any of you are stupid enough to play X, then you're all fuckwits.

And Z, who came up with Y for X? He is the suckiest game designer in the history of game design. He should be carpet-bombed for what he did. And his wife and children too, just in case. It's probably safest just to nuke his town too in case anyone heard him talking about Y. I'm getting a prefrontal lobotomy just to make sure I can't remember anything about it and I suggest you do the same. And if you don't you're a fuckwit.

Can anyone remember how gaming was before X? It was good. We turned up, we ate chips, drank mountain dew and swore like troupers. Like real men. Men! None of your henpecked cowdung bullshit pig gamers that you get now, who go crying to their mummies at the first sign of deport, deprat, deportig, fucking whatever it is.

Your character lived and died like a man. Like you. And if your character died, we all ripped the shit out of you, like the crybaby you were.

But now there's X with Y. What's all that about? Now your character does all this "cool" stuff, there are no comebacks and your character only dies if you want it to! You'll be wanting to be tucked up in bed next.

So, if you're going to Gen Con, and you see Z, and he's there promoting X, just walk up and punch him the face. Yeah! Right between the eyes, for real gamers everywhere.
AoH, you know it makes sense.

I endorse your position. As a matter of fact, we should suggest Ñ to anyone who's looking for a game, no matter the genre. :D

Wheres the "Go Back to RPG.net" smiley when you need it?  I mean seriously, this kind of non-topic might win you points on your groovy-card in places like Tangency, but around here we prefer that you say things like you feel, rather than engage in this sort of cheapass passive-aggresion.

So man up, boy, and if you have something to say, say it to my fucking face.

Although designed specifically to recreate the heated townhall debates of Amish elders during the build-up to World War I, I hereby declare that Ñ also handles high-action wuxia, hard sci-fi, and exestential horror out of the box! :haw:

Dear Pundit's Face:

   Making fun of people who get off on slamming other people's games is funny, mostly because we get to be ridiculous and stupid and sometimes even use unusual letters.  

In addition, even if it is ham-fisted satire, it's pretty harmless and might even provoke real, solid discussion once we all stop giggling.

If you have any ideas sparked by the joke, please share them.

Sincerely,

All Of Dr Rotwang!

P.S.: I'll be damned if I can't engage in a bit of ass-slappery with my fellow nerds now and again.

To be honest doc, I thought that was Pundit doing a ham-fisted parody of Pundit. It's a fine line, but when you whip out the electron microscope you may be better informed.

As for tildes? It sucks compared to the elegant crunch of the cedille system. Ç rocks
