I hate Mario haters this may be a bad topic but it sounded like something to discuss. I hate it when people make fun of me because I'm a Mario fan they say hes to "Kiddy." What are your feelings about this?
-
My feelings are... [I can't stand them]. Same opinion as yours.
-
who cares if mario games are kiddy? people are forgetting that videogames are made for fun. it doesnt have to have an epic story and ridiculously violent.
-
To be honest, I've never, ever met a real, honest-to-life Mario hater. Everyone seems to love him. What kind of people are you hanging around? They sound like kids struggling with their self-image.
-
I've never met one either. Many of the kids I've met have played a Mario game at least once, and they enjoyed it.
-
When I was a youngun, I had a few kids who would make fun of me for being a Mario fan, but they seemed to only do that because they couldn't think of anything else to make fun of me about. Somehow, I think they were having a self image problem. Most kids I knew did.
-
I think Mario haters can hate Mario if they want to.
There was an argument on people being able to have their opinions on something close to this before, but I don't want to relive stupid arguments I'm just going to win again, though.
-
I hate Mario haters too, but I made the mistake of trying to make the Mario Haters like Mario when I was in middle school.
-
Practically everyone I know likes Mario, just because there's no big reason to hate him. Even some of my friends, who prefer x-box more than any other console, say that they think Mario is perhaps the greatest video game character ever.
Even though they (probably) prefer Halo to Super Mario 64, Master Chief is just such an unoriginal character, that they can't help but go with Mario on that argument.
-
There's no readon to hate people who hate Mario. It's just their opinion. You can like what you like and others can like what they like.
The only thing I detest is people who hate something without something to back it up.
-
I agree Aarom...but I've never seen anyone hate Mario either. So I wouldn't know, but yeah people get their opinions even if they are crap.
-
Yeah, I almost got into a fight with someone that thinks SSBB is gonna be subpar. I walked away cause the guy was just a butt-hole.

Well, obviously, they can choose to have that opinion, but [their opinion is still contemptible]. [Anyone's opinion is contemptible] who hates a character that there's nothing objectionable about.
You didn't win that argument, by the way. It was just cut short because it was becoming too nasty (and I admit that I was acting that way myself).
-
Okay guys. Some people that hate Mario are my friends. You can't say a person sucks just because they don't like the things you do. They could say the same thing about us. "People who like Mario suck." See, you didn't like it, did you? Now go to the corner and give yourself a time-out.

There's nothing wrong with having no interest in Mario, but actually hating him is another matter entirely. There's nothing objectionable about Mario, so there's no valid reason to hate him. People who hate him have some kind of stupid prejudice against him. If your friends really do hate him, as opposed to merely thinking him uninteresting, then there's something wrong with them. I won't mince words.
Comparing "People who hate Mario suck" with "People who like Mario suck" cannot be validly done. From what was just stated, it's plain that there's a much better reason to say the former than the latter; the latter is just utter biased garbage and undeserving of any consideration, while the former, if you think about it, doesn't necessarily imply any bias.
-
Instead of being a jerk just say, "It's not really my kinda thing".
By all means say your opinions but just don't go over the line.
-
alot of people call mario gay. one of my pet peeves is when someone calls a fictional charactor gay. because the charcter isnt real. so how can they be gay?
-
There's such thing as gay fictional characters, like Jolly Roger from Banjo-Tooie. But calling Mario gay is completely idiotic and senseless.
Note that I didn't state my opinion on homosexuality here, for fairly obvious reasons.
-
Well, obviously, they can choose to have that opinion, but they still suck. Anyone sucks who hates a character that there's nothing objectionable about.
You didn't win that argument, by the way. It was just cut short because it was becoming too nasty (and I admit that I was acting that way myself).
Saying people suck is still being pretty nasty, to be fair. And no, the argument wasn't cut short, you're just saying that right now because you don't want to accept the fact that you DID lose that argument. You even deleted your posts afterward, a move that was, in my opinion, not very wise.
Though, I really don't want to start a year old argument over again. That'd be going off topic, just like in that last thread.

Well, would it really matter if he was? I'd still enjoy the games the same.
-
I may have lost the argument, but I didn't lose to you. If I remember correctly, I lost to Black Mage.
I deleted my posts because there was some nastiness in them, and I didn't feel good just keeping that there.
-

Oh, you lost it to Black Mage, and everyone who was on MY side, including Chup, Sunbun, Markio, and Luigison, as well as myself.
But, for the third time, I REALLY don't want an old argument to arise again.
-
Black Mage's argument was almost the only one that was any good. A lot of the other arguments didn't make much sense. So I didn't lose it to everyone on the other side.
I'm stopping now too, so that I won't get in trouble with the moderators.
EDIT: 600th Post!
-
Hmmm...
Upon finding this thread (http://themushroomkingdom.net/board/index.php?topic=7801.0), I've noticed that Black Mage wasn't even IN this argument.
So, you didn't lose to him, you definitely lost to me, Chup, etc. You're probably thinking of another argument you lost.
So, now I'll stop.
-
The argument was transferred to another thread.
This time I'm definitely stopping. Not to worry.
-
Yes I'm sorry about the word suck but I just hate it when people do that to me. I will change the word on the topic so that it will not make contreversy. I have a tendency to speak without thinking first. Sorry
-
Now that I've thought about it more, I agree with neotev. I oughtn't to have said those people sucked, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THEY ACTUALLY DO OR NOT, AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THEY DESERVED IT, since it's uncharitable to say such a thing about anyone, even one's enemies.
I will put my position more mildly: I absolutely cannot stand Mario haters, I have a rock-bottom low opinion of them, and their hatred of Mario is totally unjustified, for the simple reason that hating an unobjectionable fictional character, as opposed to being merely uninterested in that character, cannot have any foundation and is obviously due to prejudice of some sort.
Oh, yeah, and it's also ridiculous for someone even to be merely uninterested in a character if the only reason that person is uninterested is because the character isn't in a "mature" (aka immoral) game.
-
if it wasnt for mario all those stupid media slaves wouldnt be playing halo.
-
Yes, that is probably true.
-
Heres my opinion, I believe that video games keep getting more and more violent as time goes on. And the number of games that are like Mario are decreasing, anyway if this trend continues then we may not have any Mario games anymore. Now I'm saying that will happen but it is always a possibility. This is my opinion
-
1. Don't get back into the anti-violence argument.
2. Believe it or not, most Mario games aren't worth playing anymore. Nintendo is trying to appeal to too many broad audiences that they left out the Mario fans. Now we've got Mario baseball, Mario dancing, Mario parties, Mario go-karts, Mario minigame collection, but no Mario platformers, with the exception of New Super Mario Bros. Another thing, the non-platformer Mario games are all the same. Seriously, we're at Mario Party 7, Mario Sports Game 12 and Wario Ware 4, but that's all. In fact, most of the Nintendo system games I'm looking foward to (save for Zelda: TP) aren't even made by Nintendo. That's sad.
What Nintendo needs is a new, totally orginal game. Not a spinoff, or a crossover, or a sequel, or a pinball game, just a new game with new characters. And not a franchise: one sequel, maximum. They basically need a second Kid Icarus, though not a KI game. I don't think Nintendo can really pull it off.
-
You forgot about Pikmin and Animal Crossing and Odama and Chibi Robo and....
-
2. Believe it or not, most Mario games aren't worth playing anymore.
psssst, your on a mario forum buddy.
-
Yeah, glorb dont be insulting mario games, only it might be true for SOME games. And now people say that mario sucks and more and more paople leave mario and start playing the violent sensless games with Halo, Splinter Cell, Mortal Kombat, and many others.
-
I think Glorb may know what he's talking about, he means there are not much of the classics that made Mario fans in the begining, meaning all this sport, ect. stuff is only getting other's attention, and none of the original Mario fans, and the older fans want what they had back in times like 1985, they like Mario not because he'd look awesome as a sport player, but because of the way he started, and Nintendo's not releasing much of the games that made Mario fans in the first place.
-
I'm glad you spoke your mind. I sorta agree because i was made a fan of mario by SMB 3 which is a platformer.
-
If they have something smart to say about you liking Mario, you say some choice words in a polite way.
If they still have something smart to say, you say some choice words in a mean way.
If they *still* have something to say and they're becoming an extreme nuisance or even physical nuisance, you hit them right in the face.
-
I would just try to find something to make fun of them with.
-
Well my younger dumber brother thinks that Nintendo will run out of Ideas for Mario games and Mario will be no more. I tell him that will never happen and threaten to beat him up if he says it again cuz that simply can't happen. I hate it when he does that.
-
people have a right to have a right to not like him but makeing fun of people who like him is uncalled for i think mario haters have no soul but you dont see me yelling at them
-
people have a right to have a right to not like him but makeing fun of people who like him is uncalled for i think mario haters have no soul but you dont see me yelling at them
Oh, For Pete's sake grow up! People can ahte him if they want to, enough with the whole "Mario haters are so mean, they aren't aloud to hate him " stuff! People can hate him if they want to, and no, they aren't souless just because they hate Mario.
and threaten to beat him up if he says it again
Please tell me you aren't serious about that.
-
i have a right to a opinion and i'm guessing your not to fond of him
-
No, I like Mario quiet a bit, but I think you should relise that people should be aloud to hate him if they wish to, and that they aren't souless Satan worshipers.
-
I remember one time I brought my DS and NSMB to school... this one kid saw, and he said:
Griffin: "What kind of idiot breaks stuff with his head? That's so gay and retarded!"
Me: "Actually, he-"
Griffin: "He's gay, and you know it. You should learn to like the PlayStation. Their games have people killing each other!"
Me: *throws a pencil at him*
He obviously thinks that video games must be played on a 7 pound consule and must have ridiculous amounts of blood and violence. Don't they know that games are better portable (I actually take my GameCube on vacations)?
-
That's why I prefer Nintendo. Tell Griffin thanks for being a good example of a bad example. : )
-
I've personally never met a Mario hater in person. I am glad, I never want to seriously hurt someone, but I will if they hate Mario.Everybody I know is either okay with Mario or loves him
-

I love Mario and all, but I like Playstation too, and they're not freakin 7 pounds. Well the newest ones anyways, and they're portable...but those I know ar at least 7 pounds. Anyway good job with the pencil throwing :D.
-
Oh, For Pete's sake grow up! People can ahte him if they want to, enough with the whole "Mario haters are so mean, they aren't aloud to hate him " stuff! People can hate him if they want to, and no, they aren't souless just because they hate Mario.
Uhhhhhh... you're wrong. Didn't you read what I posted earlier? It is not fine for people to hate Mario! You seem unable to make the fundamental distinction between not liking him - i.e. having no interest in him - and actually having something against him. No one can be justified in having something against a completely unobjectionable character. Does it take a rocket scientist to figure that out? The only conceivable reason, as it appears to me, for anyone to have something against Mario is because he's not in violent, dirty video games like the ones so many smart-aleck kids like these days. Does that sound to you like a valid excuse to hate him?
Mr.Mad's sentiments were quite right, and I still fail to see why you took issue with what he said.
-
Yeah, but you have to think, does all of this really effect you in any way?
-
I don't exactly know, but I am really bothered by the stupidity of Mario haters regardless. It just lowers my opinion of the human race, seeing more instances all the time of just how low the capacity for reason of certain human beings is.
Besides, if someone is crazy enough to actually hate Mario, it's more than likely that he'll be outspoken about his hatred, given the nature of his prejudice. And insulting Mario out loud really, really offends me.
-

Maybe people hate him because he is a stereotype of Italian people? Maybe they hate him because a family member has done something stupid over him? Who knows? But, regardless people are aloud to have their opinions. If they hate him, let them for Pete's sake! Honsetly it does make me sad to see people hate something for no good reason, but it makes me sadder to see someone who becomes completely enranged because of this hate (only if what they hate something like a fictional character, or something else with little importance).
-
Well Ive meet alot of Mario haters there always telling me "You need to grow up stop playing these kiddish games." And then they make fun of me for the rest of the year. Because I like Mario how dumb is that.
-
Maybe people hate him because he is a stereotype of Italian people? Maybe they hate him because a family member has done something stupid over him?
Those are both extremely crappy reasons for someone to hate him. You would have to be extremely overly sensitive about ethnicity to hate the character because he's a comical stereotype. I can't imagine any Italian taking offense at that. And if a family member "did something stupid over him" (I can't imagine what you could possibly have in mind), hating the character himself is ridiculously irrational.
Maybe Mario haters technically have a right to their opinions, but their hatred of Mario is stupid and ridiculous all the same, and I have a right to be angry and look down on them for it.
Incidentally, I usually don't react as strongly to posts on this message board as I did earlier in this topic, but (1) I was in a bad mood yesterday when I made my last two posts, and (2) I absolutely cannot stand it when anyone defends Mario haters under any circumstances. Anti-Mario people are some of the most annoying people to me ever, and if someone defends them they are simply asking for it from me.
Also, the fact that I've been making somewhat heated replies to various posts by CreamCat (in other topics also) does not mean that I have something against this member personally. The fact is that a lot of the posts (s)he makes just happen to contain things with which I disagree, and I am a rather irritable person by nature, so sometimes I reply in a somewhat heated way when I disagree with people, and other members of message boards are included among those people also. So, as I say, it has nothing to do with personal grudges.
-
Yeah, but you have to think, does all of this really effect you in any way?
Yes it does, Mario haters will probably hate people who love Mario and insult them, even hurt them in some extreme cases. It is ok to dislike Mario, but openly and religiously hating him is uncalled for.
-
Yeah, but that seriously effect you? You shouldn't care what other people think of you.
-
Yuo have a point and I try not to, but sometimes it is important, like if you are running for president or something like that. I'm sure a fat, Mario loving, soda guzzling geek (Me) will make it into the White House looking like that.
-
For some reason, a lot of people here think that Mario haters are the agents of evil and are horrible people. Mario's a GAME. It's okay not to like it. You don't see the Halo, Splinter Cell or Mortal Kombat fans saying "oh, people who hate my game of choice are horrible baby-eating monsters and I hate them." Now, I'm sure I'll get flamed by the superhardcore Mario fans because of my opinions, but the arguments are unreasonable. It's okay to viciously and hurtfully insult people who really don't like your game of choice and typecast them as being violent or "not having a soul", but totally uncalled for when someone makes a snide remark about your game of choice? You'll notice that most Mario haters, save for the flaming forum trolls, never act like you depict them? They just say "Well, I just don't like Mario, and you can't convince me to play a Mario game." I know a lot of so-called Mario haters (i.e., they say that they hate Mario), some of whom aren't even really my friends, and they never lash out at me because I like Mario. I think the "Mario hater" stereotype of the vicious, unintelligent, soulless monster here is no better than African-American or Jewish stereotypes in that they're not true, and very hurtful at times.
-
Glorb your opinion is reasonable and as usual I have made a bad choice in a topic title, again. Why, Why must I stink so bad at topic titles. You are right though there are not alot of people that hate mario and destroy anyone that likes him but people still make fun of me for likeing him. Not anymore now that I go to a new school but the kids at my old school.
-
It's okay. In truth, a lot of Mario haters are a bit mean, but then so are haters of plenty other series.
-
Thats true. I don't think I thought very hard about planning out this topic before making it. noob mistake
-
We like Mario and they don't. If you're gonna tell a person why you hate something, chances are you're gonna sound at least a little mean...
-
You see, it's that "us against them" mentality that leads to the Mario Hater stereotype. While a few of my statements earlier weren't 100% reasonable (i.e., the comparison between MH stereotypes and hurtful ethnic ones), it's still a view we need to drop. I'm trying not to sound like some '60s hippie, but I still think it's kind of relevant.
-
I hate mario haters because they think that Mario is too "Kiddy", I had an encounter with one of them at a convention I went to a couple of years ago, Boy did they disrespect me as a gamer and as a Mario buff.
-
Okay, I think this is getting out of hand. For one thing, what you just said, everyone else here has said. And second, you're literally saying that you actually hate people you have labeled as "Mario Haters", simply because they feel they've outgrown Mario? So basically, they're not entitled to their opinions, but you are?
And another thing: I did some research, and not once, ever, has a dispute over Mario opinions led to violence.
-
And another thing: I did some research, and not once, ever, has a dispute over Mario opinions led to violence.
Well that's good. Mario may be sued if something happens like that. And that wouldn't be a good thing.
-
They just act evil because they are ignorant, like Mario, and obviously have nothing better to do than flame us.
-
I never ever met a Mario hater before. Even the sports fans in my class at school thought he was cool. Even die-hard Xbox fans think that Mario is cool. I mean come on, Mario is the most original character ever--an Italian plumber that fights a clan of evil turtles and can shoot fireballs? I have NEVER seen that done before Mario came along. Mario is the god of platforming as we know it.
-
did you guys read the sacred cow barbeque in June's game informer? They hate on some really good games like GTAIII,Starcraft,LOZ:OoT,Resident evil 2,Halo,SMB!!!!,Metal Gear Solid, and Final fantasy VII! You know they got some hate mail!! :O
-
Yeah, I didn't like that. I don't think they were really serious, but I still didn't like it.
-
I have ALOT of Mario Haters in my school.
NOTE: I'm about to use some sad facts.
They say that the Nintendo DS is made out of plastic and colored by little old ladies and [offensive stereotype]. They also say that Nintendo is homo-sexual because the slogan "Touching is Good" for the Nintendo DS, they think it means other things. GROW UP! They also think Mario likes to touch Luigi and Mario is afraid of Bowser. I said to them, "You never like Mario because you maybe never played it before. And if you ever played the game, you [people] would know that Mario isn't afraid of Bowser." They also said that Nintendo has no creativity. Um...Yeah...That's COMPLETELY true, heh. By the other day, I brought my DS on the bus and one of the Mario Haters actually wanted to play it! GASP! So I lent it to him, and he loved it! Soon everybody (well, there are still alot of Mario Haters around my school still) loved the game! See? One reason that Mario Haters hate him beacuse they listen to other idiots and believe he's gay, but if you play his games, he/she loves it. Now alot of people (maybe 89% of my school) REALLY hates Wario. But that's a different story, heh.
-
Accursed Wario haters!
But really, while those guys (or girls) at your school hate Mario, they at least hot their facts straight: the DS is...MADE OF PLASTIC! Madness!
By the way, was it you that dropped the N-Bomb in that quote?
-
Um...gotta run!
*Zips Away*

Look at this [lame] movie I found:
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-6405445518216376043
Things that are wrong with this movie:
1) True, the DS runs out of battery fast, but it has two screens!
2) The guy said that the DS is just another Game Boy. Um...The Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and Game Boy Advance didn't have two screens, with one consisting a touch screen with a handy stylus
3) The guy said that the PSP can be played by a wall. So can the DS when it's charging.
4) The guy says some things about the Gigabytes and the Japanese Nintendo says Gigablorbs or something like that. That is maybe because that's the Japanese language, moron!
5) The guy said that the games don't have any graphics. Just wait until the Wii comes out, buddy!
I'll list anymore if I come across some.
-
:( he is a moron.
He is so wrong in so many ways. For petes sake!
1)The DS is not a Game boy
2) It costs $129, not $300!
3)The games rock, grrrrr.
4)Eye toy is for PS2 moron!
5)The psp speakers suck, you can't play for a warehouse!
6) Lastly, you can't run macintosh software on the psp.
This moron is on drugs!
-
I can disprove many of his points.
"It's got two screens. Who cares? They have two screens on... everything."
Not on your beloved PSP, that's for sure. Or pretty much any other electronic product.
"The Nintendo DS... it's just a Game Boy."
Nope, they're two different product lines.
"Game Boy has been around since 1987. Check the facts, folks. 1987. It's a 19-year-old system!"
The Game Boy line is 19 years old, as is the original Game Boy.
"Why would you pay 300 dollars for a DS..."
Its $130. Not $300.
"...that's a 19-year-old system?"
See above.
"They didn't really upgrade the technology since the Game Boy."
Did the Game boy have two screens? A touch screen? Even a color screen? No.
"It's pretty much the same amount of memory..."
The Game Boy had 8 kilobytes of RAM. The DS has 4 megabytes.
"Might be a little higher, I dunno."
8 kilobytes vs. 4 megabytes? That's a lot higher.
"The Game Boy had a color screen, and they changed it."
Yeah, they added many more colors.
"The Sony PSP has all kinds of new features on it..."
So does the DS.
"You can play UMD movies on your PSP. Can't do that on a Nintendo DS."
Of course not, they're two different systems.
"The PSP stands for 'PlayStation Portable'. DS... Who knows what that stands for?"
Dual Screen or Developer's System.
"The games for it are not that good."
Care to name a few examples?
"The DS has less colors than the PSP."
You don't need more colors to make a better game.
"The Sony PSP uses a UMD. That's a Universal Media Disc. It holds over one gigabyte."
You don't need more space to make a better game.
"Nintendo is a Japanese company..."
So is Sony.
"...and some of their reoprts on the systems, they try to trick you by saying giga... giga...flop or something?"
Looks like you read a pretty badly translated report.
"...You can hook up a camera, an EyeToy, I believe?"
You got PS2 and PSP mixed up there.
"[Nintendo says the DS is] portable, but here's the trick; you have to hook it up to a wall to charge it."
Not like it has to be plugged in constantly.
"You can't just charge it while you're walking down the street. What's up with that?"
You have to have the charger plugged in for it to charge.
"[On] the PSP, you can replace the bateries."
Same with the DS.
"You can play the PSP while it's hooked up to the wall."
Same with the DS.
"The PSP also has built-in speakers."
The DS does too.
"They can play music for a whole wharehouse, if you know what you're doing."
Yeah, perhaps if you connected it to a large speaker system?
"You can't buy music for the DS because... it's just not good enough."
No, it's because the DS wasn't designed that way.
"Everything on the DS has been done before."
Certianly not the dual screens and the built-in microphone.
"The touch screen? I've seen that for several years."
On a major game system? No.
"They say it's great because you have two screens. It's not, though. If you want to play classic games, you can't do it."
Yes, you can. Take any of the games that are remakes of other, older games.
"It has a light, it's just gonna waste the battery..."
The PSP has a backlight too.
"...and it's gonna ruin the entire experience, and it's not gonna be fun."
What would be worse is if you couldn't see your game.
"The PSP is built around the idea of fun."
Isn't that what all game systems are meant for?
"Sony makes laptops, they're also pretty fun."
We wern't talking about Sony's other products.
"The PSP's gonna be able to work as a controller on the PS3. The Nintendo DS is not gonna work on it."
Of course not, they're made by two different companies.
"The PSP's got wireless access to connect to the Internet..."
So does the DS.
"If you have a DS, your friend has a PSP, you can't use your DS with a PSP."
They're two different systems. Of course they can't work with each other.
"My friend had [a DS], and it fell out of his pocket on a trampoline. He wasn't jumping, folks."
How does it fall out if you're not jumping? And for that matter, why would you even have a DS on a trampoline?
"It fell out of his pocket and it destroyed it."
A 2 1/2-3 foot fall onto a bouncy surface is enough to destroy a DS? Maybe if he were jumping and it fell onto the ground. Maybe.
"I never saw him playing it."
Possibly because you were too busy complaing about the DS to him?
"You can put Linux on your PSP."
Same with the DS. (http://www.dslinux.org/)
"The DS isn't that good, and the PSP is."
You made your point already, and it's not a very good point.
Sheesh. Some people are rather weird.
-
So... Just because my ansestors (my mom and dad) were born during the 50's and 60's, that makes me a 50 year old kid?
By this guys logic, the PSP is 60 yrs old as Sony was founded in 1946
-
wow, we've really laid down the smackdown!
-
That guy(from the video) wouldn't have the ability to argue if it jumped up and bit him in the [butt].
-
I'm pretty sure if something bites you in the [butt], your not going to want to keep it... but you make a good point.
-
I can't figure out if that video is some kind of parody of PSP lovers.
If not, that guy is definitely what we used to call "retarded", but that's not politically correct anymore.
-
After watching this (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1530026530696323314), I'm pretty sure it was a joke.
-
Was He throwing up!?
-
Okay...he's really [dumb].
-
That guy is weird. I hope the PSP video was a joke.
-
That idiot choked down a bunch of ipecac to make a point? He was throwing up blood by the end. Acids are a common thing and he just said that cleaning products use acids. He's a true [idiot]. Is Lemon juice toxic? He just wants to act like he knows it all.
-
That guy wouldn't have common logic if it jumped up and lodged itself in his brain.
-
I figured that guy just put a bunch of water (with flour or cornstarch to whiten it) in his mouth every time the camera cut away to the stain. The red stuff that came out of his mouth may have been that wine he was drinking.
After watching this video (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-3450073443917612084), I think those guys that make the Moldytoaster videos are against anything that competes with Sony.
-
Wow, I only watched a minute of that video and then closed out of it because I was sure it was on a loop. Some people just have idiotic blind faith. I bet if that guy actually owned an iPod, he would think differently. Most people just hate something because they can't have it.
-
Yeah, I'm sure they're jokes now (after seeing the iPod one that is the same thing).
-
That guy wouldn't...........ah never mind.
-
"How's Mario?" "LOOK! THERE'S MARIO BEHIND YOU!" "I bet I'm better than you at uh..... Yoshi World!"
They make me quite perturbed. :(
-
I heard about that video on another forum. It turned out that the guy was just trying to make people mad; he didn't really think that stuff about the DS and PSP. In fact, he might have made a similar thing bashing the PSP, but my memory is foggy on that point.
-
I was laughing my head off by the time that guy said "IT'S ABSOLUTE CRAP!!" It was obviously a joke. I'm thinking that site is all about "This sucks, it's a fact, look it up." You know... name any popular product, as random as possible, I'll make a fake rant video equivalent in goodness to these (minus the swearing, duh). I'm serious, I'll post it here.
-
Sheesh. And I wasted all that time proving that guy wrong...
-
No, Max. He wasted his time. His pointless rants against popular electronics just proves that the guy needs to get a life. He's the kind of person that I frown upon. Him, and people that hate something for no particular reason.
-
I like Mario games, but I'm a rude little meanie pants. I don't think you have to hate Mario to be mean.
-
Uh, Markio, you're one of the least rude people I've ever seen.
-
*GASP* Where have you seen me?! *puts on disguise*
Actually, thanks. But I think it's still true that it takes not just a hater of Mario but an already rude person to be mean concerning Mario.
-
Check out this idiot (http://kontek.net/LizardDude/The%20FF%20Sucks.wmv).
-
Ecks dee!
btw, why only have two lines of signatures when we can fit three or four easily without too much fuss? :\
-
I don't think you said "It's a fact; look it up" enough.
-
So... We need pictures to know who's posting?
I'm pretty sure I'm looking at blue is a few places and the forum is not just black and white.
This guy sounds like an idiot who just likes pictures.
Found another good Video (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-3032112009016435066&q=Wii)
-

That "idiot" is Lizard Dude.
-

That was hilarious. I can pretty much see how this generation of consoles of consoles will end; With Nintendo on top.
-

Well, it's tough to type in a sarcastic tone isn't it?
-
What a moron this guy (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5562703691423249325) is.
I tried to keep a straight face, but I stared cracking up when I thought of a pencil MP3 player. It MUST BE INVENTED.
-
I like BP's much better.
-
That strange man in Lizard Dude's video sounds like Mark Ruffalo. I liked the low-quality of the last video, and how it was silent until the end, when you hear a plane overhead(silent besides his voice, I mean.)
-
If Pencils attract fire, I'd hate to see waht your orange room does.
-
Wario is a moron because the moron sounds he makes in wario land 1,2, and 3 when he gets hit and his jets off too!whats the deal with that.
-
What's that have to do with this thread's subject!?
-
i dunno but it's funny.
-
Stay on topic, ya stupid n00b!!!!!
-
oh alright1 but you can't cook.
-
What is this world coming to.
-
What is this world coming to.
oompa loompas.
-
*slams head on keyboard in frustration*
-
*Does the same as The Chef*
-
*also repeats the chef*
-
What's that have to do with this thread's subject!?
that's why i hate wario and he's too gready and obnoxious for me.
-
*starts up a keyboard slamming club, and mimics The Chef*
Dude, Wario is cool. >:(
-
Whoops, I thought this was The Pointless Topic!
/me also slams his head on his keyboard
-
Let it end. Fairemaster PM'd me saying he's sorry. But be on your guard, just in case.
-
We don't have to worry about it anymore, he's banned. /me dances in celebration
-
There really is a GOD! Or just a very annoyed Mod.
-
I should've contacted the Mods earlier. If only I knew how. Now I feel like a let-down.
-
The fastest way to reach them is the chatroom. But they knew about Fairemaster rather quickly.
-
How do you people remember how to spell his name...it confused me.
-
He's that annoying. XP
-
BACK ON TOPIC!!!
I liked the Wii vs. PS3 one.
-
Everybody that I know (except a few) think that the Wii is gay and that the PS3 is going to be better because "It's better" and that "The Wii is made by an evil company". Those must be really lazy people. That's why I started the Wii Fan Club. So far, there are only 5 members (including me).
-
Who on earth could think Nintendo is evil? Now I've heard everything. 0_o
-
One of my friends actually threatened to bash me for not liking Halo that much. My friends aren't really that friendly. :(
-
Ya' Know?I Think Mario Haters hate Mario because he's "Diferent".But if people stop liking Mario like in '91 the same thing that happened to '80s rock will happen
-
What do you mean? 80's rock is my favorite music.
-
I'ma agree with G-Dawg.
*250th post!*
-
I agree, I think G-Dawg's favorite music is 80's rock too. ;P
-

With friends like that, ya don't need enemies.
-

Mine is 80's Metal(Same Thing)Sorry

I totally agree with rubberducky.
-
And this thread had been dead for about 11 months. Why do Mario haters have to be so mean?
-
Because they hate Mario.
-
They are so obsessed with the PS3's good graphics. Ugh... idoits.
-
Um, no. If someone likes the PS3 (heck, I like the PS3; I'm quite impressed by the machine's capability), that in no way makes them an idiot.
-
Oh please, no. Now this thread has been resurrected as a horrible, rotting zombie. It's funny how a topic about so-called "Mario haters" ended up being all about bashing all non-Mario stuff. Sigh.
EDIT: Also, it's about bizarre rant videos, as I just found by reading old posts.
-
Oh, sorry PaperLuigi. All the people who hate Mario I know are like " OH! The graphics suck! Graphics are more important than the actual fun." Or they hate it for the childish-ness.
-
It's pretty much called an opinion.
Anyone can say that Mario sucks if they have proper reasons.
Answering "He just does" to "Why do you think that Mario sucks" is just idiotic, but I think it's reasonable to say "I dislike the Mario game series because I'm more of a First-Person-Shooter fan, and personally think that Mario games are childish with their simplicity."
-

S'okay. :)

I think that pretty much ends the argument right there. Nobody should feel like they have to "covert" anyone to Mario-ism, since the majority of people like Mario anyway.
-
I wouldn't say majority. But yes, I was once a "You're stupid if you think Nintendo sucks whatever you like sucks" person... now I see the light. Still, "Mario is gay" is easily deflected with "Peach doesn't think so," or "Mario doesn't exist; a three-dimensional polygon in a video game cannot think for itself or have a sexual preference."
-
I'd go with the latter. Generally, I find that countering with information about a game's characters rarely works. That happened a few years ago when I was explaining Primal Rage to a friend, and everything i said made it worse.
-
Why do Mario haters have to be so mean?
Because they think that Mario is too kiddy to play. It makes me sad because some of the people that I've known to bash Mario are around my age, and therefore likely grew up playing the same games that I played.
It doesn't make sense.
-
They grew up giving in to peer pressure, or only go with what everyone else thinks is 'cool.' Bah! I don't let anyone tell me what I'm supposed to like or think. I like what I chose or grew up to like!
-
Children playing kiddy games is so childish
-
Myself, I've never met a Mario hater. Everyone around here either likes Mario or is indifferent. Heck, my physics teacher is a big fan of Mario. I just wonder if Mr Rader ever came here...
-
Same here; there are a few Pokemon bashers in my area, but no Mario haters that I know of.
-
Actually, Bird Person, looking at the Mario series sales and popularity, I'd have to say that it is indeed the majority that likes Mario.
-
Because they r jealous! Jealous of mario really high jumps!
-
GAH, why does this topic keep getting revived?! I'LL SEE YOU IN COURT WIIARIO!!!!
-
Videogames are supposed to be fun. Generally--Mario games are fun. What's the problem here?
As for the aforementioned Pokemon bashers, I played Pearl whenever I got the chance at school after I got it (last month or so), and all I really heard was "oh, yeah, Pokemon's awesome!", or something to that effect. Besides, some kid I kinda knew also got it, anyway.
-
This topic never dies for good. I think it's doomed to be revived over and over again like some sort of monster of mad science.
