While We Wait: Part 2

[Symphony D.]

I'll have to say, although none of them were pioneers of the genres, (That goes to the first well executed games of the genre) they innovated gaming in ways which weren't seen before.

Way to miss my point. There is no pioneer of a genre. Oh, oh, Dune II, first popular RTS. Yeah, it was based on Herzog Zwei, first real RTS. That was just the strategy of Herzog with some arcade-y Thunder Force bits thrown in. The innovation is evolutionary, not revolutionary. Synergy and refinement, not development from-the-blue. That type of progress is very atypical.

Point of all this being, criticizing something because it doesn't totally change the world (or the genre) is fairly silly because almost nothing does. We still use the same types of stories as the Greeks did 2500 years ago. I don't hear anyone saying Pulp Fiction sucks because it's the same thing just told in a disjointed fashion. Ad nauseam.

The only pioneered concept worth noting was that you could only carry two or three weapons at one time.

So CS came after Halo?

N...E...S

But INES is pronounced ines, like the iberian name (forget from Spain or portugal, so Iberian works.) AFSNES is A-F-S-N-E-S, since it doesnt flow as a word. LINES is lines.

I am a neser, but N-E-S.

Weird, I know.

I agree with everything you say there, but I'm an Enneeyesser. Why are you a nesser while you enneeyess?

If it weren't for all the innovations that games brought collectively into the genre, we would still be playing Tetris, for all other games would pretty much suck.

Tetris rocks.

 

[jeps]

I honestly dont know, it just happens that way.

Uncreative! Afs-nes, Af as in "AFLACK." You can slur it to "avsnes" if necessary. If ALCM and GLCM can be said "Alk'em" and "Glick'em" respectively, AFSNES can be pronounced.

 

[Luckymoose]

I just call it "Das NES".

 

[Dachs]

Uncreative! Afs-nes, Af as in "AFLACK." You can slur it to "avsnes" if necessary.

That's how I do it anyway. I used to say eneeyess but decided to change about a year ago. I do say eye-tee-ness though instead of itness.

 

[Abaddon]

I pronounce it nez.

Not sure why now i tink about it.

 

[Lord_Iggy]

The term 'dasnes' is the only one where I pronounce NES as 'ness', now that I think about it.

 

[Perfection]

You should call yourselves "Nessies"

 

[Luckymoose]

You should call yourselves "Nessies"

Why are you still here? You have no place if you don't participate.

Ignore him, he just likes the attention

[TerrisH]

A horror game with only barbies?

strangely enough, I can, very easily... *shudder*

I'm like an NES cheerleader.

 

[Oruc]

Metal sucks. It's all angry and yelling. Anybody can be angry and yell. Rap sucks. Any moron can rhyme. StarCraft sucks. Look, you marshal units around just like every other RTS. Star Wars sucks. It's another space opera with a grizzled veteran, a new guy, token lady, and a talking thingy in a beat up ship. Europe sucks. It's full of whiny people just like any other continent.

I agree with most of this, especially the Starcraft and the Metal and the Europe stuff

 

[Dachs]

You're a depressing person.

 

[andis-1]

You're a depressing person.

You didnt know that yet?

 

[Dachs]

You didnt know that yet?

No, I just realized that emu was depressing.

 

[Oruc]

You're a depressing person.

What I do? I was just agreeing with Symphony D. I mean this is the talk about crap all thread

I wasn't necessarily being serious about any of those.
