The PHP-forums are full of people saying the game is extremely bugged
(floating stuff that shouldn't float; bad FPS on high-end systems, no
matter what detail level is set). Seems like the game needs some serious
patching. I'm going to wait a month or two before buying.

Bloody hell what did I type there!? It should read:
"The last time I remember saynotosteam posting about game purchases, he said
he had bought 40 games."

I don't remember an update on that figure, just that he never responded to
any request to name that 40.

I'm writing a PC exclusive game right now. You can pre-order it
for $500...

I wrote a great prog for the Spectrum. You watched a little @ sign move
across the screen. it was called "The Amazing Adventures of PacMan". No
gameplay. You literally just watched the character beep his way across
the screen. We made cliffs for him to "fall" down, bridges to cross
chasms, water to swim through etc; maybe 30 screens all lovingly
sketched with other letters or symbols (very l337) or straight lines.
It's never been near a console, so if I rewrite it for the PC and put
it in a box it should go straight to the top of someone's Must Buy
list.

Just killfile him like most of the rest of us have, he has all the
comprehension skills of a walnut, it is a waste of time trying to
explain any of the myriad of things he is clueless about.

I don't know, you're missing some funny stuff. He now calls you the "demo
man".

I am not Zaphod Beeblebrox, so can physically play only 1 game at a
time. I also prefer to stick with 1 game and not switch between
several. I like to finish them, it makes me feel I have achieved
something.

I could go out and buy loads of new games. But what's the point if I'm
not going to play them for ages? I'm not a collector like you - I enjoy
playing the games, not looking at the boxes.

Also, by waiting to buy games when I need them, sometimes they are
reduced in price, or a patch has been released to improve them, or
there is better packaging available. That is not the reason why I buy
games when do, but it is a nice bonus.

What is your reason for not buying Boiling Point? Does your mother only
allow you to buy 4 games each month? Perhaps you should explain that
there is a war on and that only you can save the world by buying every
PC game.

I know because of the people who quote him. Unfortunately I am on the
verge of killfiling the few people who now respond to him, not because
they aren't good posters, but I am just so sick of having to see
DiF***wits messages.

Apparently, he's now championing dial-up internet access as the connectivity
of the TRUE PC gamer, on the basis that broadband makes it easier to pirate
games. He should have his own TV show.

Not even Weird AL's UHF would put that loon on the air.

a true pc gamer is a "complete" one
and you mr chadwick i'm afraid to say fall very short of
being a true pc gamer cause of your narrow experience with
pc games
you don't collect pc games
you don't appreciate good packagings
you don't get pleasure from the simple act of buying pc games
you don't promote protect and support pc games

basically your pc game experience is playing a single game
each time, and in certain occasions that title wasn't even
bought by you but a gift... so no mr chadwick, its very
clear now... you are not a "true" pc gamer
like i say... there is no "magic" in you
probably you have that "magic" in photography or women but
with pc games for sure you don't!
