onAXIS: Console Wars, Childish?


Go to any gaming forum, go to say the PLAYSTATION 3 section of the forum, check the first page. Do you see anything not so ordinary? Maybe like a topic about the Xbox 360 or Nintendo Wii? Open the topic. Do you see something like:
"PSTREE GRAFX SUX 360 PWNS FOR LIFE, I BOUGHT A PSTREE N TRADED THAT SHIT IN FRsT DaY DATS HOW MUCH IT SUKED!"
Now, you see, thats not the only thing that is childish. Whats even more childish is what the users of this PLAYSTATION 3 forum answer back, do you see anything like:
"go stick that 360 controller up your *doink* and let it vibrate you newb, the ps3 is much better any day any time"
What I really don't understand is, did you get insulted personally when you read those comments in the first place?

Sure, it's fine to like one console and not like the other, but why go around and talk trash about it? Just to annoy other people? Sure it's fun to do that, but in real life, with random people on the streets.

At onAXIS, were not just fond of the PLAYSTAION 3, but fond of the other consoles as well. When we have versus posts, we are not having them battle, we are comparing the features of the two so hopefully those consoles can learn off eachother and apply the missing features.

There are people out there, like the people above, there called fanboys. Some people hate them, some people are them, some people like to ignore them. There is no problem with fanboys at all, but when they act like the ones above, then thats when it becomes a problem.

If we had magical powers and could make all these bad fanboys act like nice little minions, we would. But it seems that big guns upstairs limited our powers to at the highest, do stage magic. But do yourself a favor, next time you see a post like that of above, don't respond, let it sink.

Absolutely Right

If you ask me personally, I never participate in those kinds of threads. They usually feed your mind with the wrong sense and impression of nerveless reasons.

Few days back, I’ve been complaining about this issue , I was telling my friend every time I login some forum, I west 10 minutes trying to avoid these kind of threads, but I don’t have any other choose, just to look around for a good news , you have to cross those kind of threads.

Yes My Friend English is my second language, and I don’t like to read something dose not let me benefit from.

But You Know What!!?? I really appreciate your blog and works, all the good news is here.

Once Again Thanks

haha, that's part of the reason why I don't go to those types of forums anymore. I used to go to get some information on consoles and whatnot, but there are plenty of good sites like this one that provide swarms of articles on everything you need to know. childish? yes. does it bother me? no, those people are just wasting their time.
