The Gaming Den

I probably shouldn't even dignify the ongoing insinuations with a response (especially since you'll make up your own minds and disregard whatever I say anyway), but what das fuck. For all his faults and strengths, it cannot be denied that Psychic Robo was both a button-pusher and a rabble-rouser. Bu...

Referring back to the original post and the question: I agree with the points pointed out by PR. I was introduced the first week I started posting here everything that was on PR's list. As for the title's question I feel about TGD much the same as I feel about most forums. I think there are a lot o...

Your humilty is overwhelming. Or, wait, is it underwhelming? I can never keep those two straight.

Okay, you know that I'm all about cuttin' some slack for the other guy. But this... this is supposed to be a 20th level character? One level shy of epic? This guy is pathetic! He'd be lucky to survive being mobbed by a goblin horde!

Okay, fair enough. The example I gave didn't make as much sense coming out of my mouth (so to speak) as it did in my head. It was only there, really, to bolster the rest of my point. Which was that I don't believe a snarky joke about someone's name can be considered racist, if the person delivering ...

Eagle, please don’t take this attention as an indication that I am targeting you for any special (mis)treatment. But several of your arguments have problems, on several levels, and I feel compelled to point them out to you. Socky; If there's a volcano about to blow up and consume a city; would the p...

Lame thread is lame. Uh, obvious statement is obvious? This is one of the current internet memes that I understand the least. Stating that something is indeed exactly what it actually is seems, well, redundant. Maybe I just don’t get the joke. Maybe you had to be there. Maybe it helps if you’ve had...

Okay, Caedrus, let me put it in this specific way: Use of the term apologist seems TO ME to imply something that needs apologizing for, and use of the term defender seems TO ME to imply something that you need to get defensive about. I’ll admit that I’m just arguing semantics, and in this battle I s...

Aw, gee. I heart you too.

Roy: I'm sorry that I'm getting under your skin so much, buddy. I was just trying to have a little fun, maybe make a joke and razz you a bit. Irreverent humor, no big deal, it's actually how I treat all my friends. You know, Stick Figure, Dust Bunny, Block Head, Lazy Bones, the whole crew. You someh...

...being polite and all. :rofl: I like you. You're funny. Whoo... this was a blast. But since I don't want my raison d'etre to be bitching at people about people bitching at people, I'll stop bitching about people bitching about me bitching about people bitching about people...

Thanks for understanding - I was abused as a young Sock Puppet. This is my third felt nose, and my googly eyes don't match each other anymore.

@ Starmaker: A big heaping helping of "I concur" to just about everything that you wrote, with just one important clarification. I do not have a problem with Frank's writing style. I came here because I read and enjoyed the Tomes; I was expecting it. Besides, who am I to say just how he co...

I'm not sure you actually understand what the word apologist means. It has not a goddamn thing to do with saying you're sorry. It is in fact the accurate term for someone defending something . Before you whine about choice of words, maybe you should learn what they actually mean. I'm completely awa...

Look, if you're referring to three freakin' people, it's not okay to refer to them as "the den" any more than it is fair to refer to them as "the BG" or "the WotC" or "the paizo" (since these people have posted on these sites as well). Yes, you are correct, i...

@ TarvishArtair: Yeah, I get the whole refutation of an argument by math route. But it's like I was trying to explain to Roy. You say to someone: "I have calculated the precise surface area of this apple by means of tried and tested mathematical theorems" and they say to you "I like t...

Koumei wrote:... secret friends P_R had?

I know lots of Paizo folks have been appearing here lately, but that is a complete coincidence. I did not take the same (short)bus as them. I have actually been lurking here for well over a year already. (and a quick thanks to Sigma999)

Its also ironic that you mention this in defense of PR's post. He was one of the people most responsible for hounding newbies and stirring up stuff on other messageboards. It struck me that Psychic Robot was calling himself out on this. A change of heart of that magnitude should not go unheeded. So...

What’s with this obsession with the word ‘fail’ anyway? Or, for that matter, what’s with all the hostility in general? I think somebody needs to give you a hug, or a puppy or something. I know, this is how the scenario should play out: Every Paizil He Has Ever Known: Join us, Roy. We love you. Roy :...

There is simply so much to look at, poking around the closets here. Skeletons. Irony. A fish. Some guy without a face, or something. First of all, let it be said that no one is likely to give a shit about my opinion - I'm not exactly a contributing member of this community or anything. I'm just a l...

Okay, Paizils. I see where you're from, but I don't really see the necessity to doing it. Of course, I'm of the opinion that the Interweb is already too oversaturated with ultraspecialized jargon, and the further we get away from The Queen's English, the more impediments we put up to free communicat...

Yeah, so maybe "Sock Puppet" is a pretty jerky name, especially for a first-time poster - chalk it up to a bad joke. So, Akula, if it makes you think less of me, or not take me seriously, that's my fault, and not yours. Thanks for offering me the benefit of the doubt, even if it wasn't you...

So, let me get this straight. Your proposal is to create a min-maxed character, to take out a bunch of non-optimized, essentially random, "iconic" characters. Uh... why? What does that prove? Other than that YOU can create an elaborate set of circumstances so that YOU can win a challenge t...
