The bandwagon has more room now that Ben left, jump on board.

*shrugs* It's hardly a case of jumping on a bandwagon, more a case of stating the bleeding obvious.

Obviously. So why continue? Unless, there is more than a presentation of information behind the comments...

[S_Jake]

*shrugs* Isn't every comment a 'presentation of information' in some shape or form?

*shrugs* What's your point? Because it doesn't seem to have anything to do with my comment, which is about subtext.

[Ben Affleck]

Ahh, I love when we talk about Dungeon Master; so many fond memories..

Here's a list I made of games that totally rip off Legend of Grimrock by means of a specially modified Delorean:

Ishar
Anvil of Dawn
Lands of Lore
Eye of the Beholder I,II & III
Sonic The Hedgehog
Stonekeep
Menzoberranzan
Abandoned Places - A Time for Heroes
Wizardry

Special Mention to my homeys:

Ultima I,II,III,IV,V,VI
Ultima Underworld I & II

Anyone else got any to add? In fact, I'm going to make a new topic- Don't reply here, go there

*moons* My point is that if you slate every comment that only presents information, you'll be slating 99% of all comments you ever read. Besides, not all 'good' comments require subtext.

Seriously, if you're so excised about such trivial things as banal posts on a web forum, you really need to look outside and see what's going on in the world you live in - right now we have protests that are violently put down in Bahrain, women in Uzbekistan who are sterilised without their knowledge or consent and Zimbabwe is so poor that in the major cities the infrastructure has collapsed to the point were raw sewage runs down the streets.

Now can we get back to the business of talking about games, which is what we're supposed to be doing here (apologies to everybody else for the off-topic rant)?

I don't reckon he can hear you- also be careful what you say:

He reported me for this. After he made comments questioning my sexuality, and outright stating I would die alone of heart problems.

*watches S_Jake drool through his slack-jawed expression.* And you miss the point, again. I was not 'slating' a post for containing information, but that the post was less about any presentation of information than its subtext. If you persist in flaming me, please do so in a manner that does not make me cringe for the educational system.

And if you are so concerned about banal posts, why did you come back to this post more than a day after it had begun to die, only to flame, yet again? That is banality.

Yes, please get back to discussing games, and stop going out of your way to stumble and plod through an ill-conceived attempt at a flame.

I never questioned your sexuality, I never even brought it up. I asked you not to discuss any gross personal pastimes. (as per #1 of the forum rules) If by that you deem your sexuality to be a 'gross personal pastime' then that is your assessment. I did not make that comparison, YOU did. This is the third time you have tried to attribute comments about your sexuality to me. Is this a touchy subject for you? Is it an embarrassment that needs to be so rabidly defended? If so, then perhaps you have made a tragic choice somewhere that has made you so insecure about your sexuality? In any event, it's not my problem. It's yours.

Best fed troll I've seen on these forums.

Am I missing something?

Also, for good measure:

You forgot to explain why you said this?

To which you quoted 'circle jerk the monsters' with the following...

Which appears to me to be someone who is assuming a stance as an authority on circle jerking and you, as an authority on the activity, were cautioning me on it's meaning and usage.

Which is me acknowledging your claim to be an expert circle jerker and heeding your advice in that it is of questionable content. I then requested you do not further illustrate what it means, by demonstration or an invitation of participation.

This is actually the full quote which you took out of context. I am simply stating that only you know your interests, and further asked you not to discuss it here on the forums in keeping with forum rule #1. Which includes the exact word 'gross' in its text. So It is not I asking you to refrain from posting your 'gross personal pastimes', but Steam. Perhaps you should send them an email about how you wish to discuss gross things with their customers? You could even include what an expert circle jerker you are. I am sure they will be very impressed.

Nowhere in there did I question your sexuality.

[Ben Affleck]

Whatever you say bro

Still never explained this:
