    I didnt even remember I ever infracted you until I saw your post and checked your infractions. As far as calling me off is concerned, I get that a lot. No one likes to be warned you know. You're once again assuming you're different than others. Cant be bothered to remember who said what. Me getting emotional about some random online stranger is as far off from reality as it possibly can. So stop assuming stuff.

    No one cares about this 'expert' opinion coz its based on facts everyone already knows. You're not the only one who knows the regular price of appstore and DS games, neither are you the only one who knows how to google a game's name and find reviews for it. But you do seem to be one of the rare fews who are under the illusion that their opinion has more weight than others for absolutely no reason and will continue to post it multiple times. I have no intention to post obvious stuff. If I was interested in a game and thought it was not worth the current price, I'd just wishlist it in appshopper and wait for the inevitable price drop instead of wasting time arguing its too expensive over and over again.

    There is NO discussion here. This is the Trash Can #2 of TA (if you've been here long enough, you might already know about trash can #1). This is the place where the utterly useless price whining posts come to die. I'm not sure how you didnt get this simple fact yet.

    Well if this is one of the two trash cans of TA, I guess that makes you Oscar the Grouch! You could have taken the high road and not fallen victim to petty argument but here you are! I am guilty as well but I at least made an attempt to discuss the pricing topic, which at one time contained pieces of a legitimate conversation.

    As for the infraction (not infraction(s)), I have a pretty good feeling that you remembered who I am. You gave me an infraction on this very thread days ago, and have since been perusing other posts and threads of mine, as evidenced by your previous quotation. As for the actual infraction, it was my first and it was for use of the word "buffoon." Talk about kid glove treatment. Maybe that is why you get told off so often :). Also, chiding me for making assumptions, followed by making you own assumptions is just lazy and straight "ignant" dawg. My favorite line that you wrote above is "You're once again assuming you're different than others." So let me translate this: You assume that I assume I'm different from others!? My second favorite quote: No one cares about this 'expert' opinion coz its based on facts everyone already knows. Like I said before, not an easy read. In conclusion, since you are making your own assumptions, maybe you can read posts from my other threads to prove that I have a superiority complex!? I'm confident that you have the time to look. Hit me up later!

    P.S. I'm guessing the other trash can is the "What should I get thread"?

    Well that pretty much explains how much you actually know about stuff you're talking about. How can one of the most helpful threads here on the forums be considered trash? Maybe the same logic apples here as well.... coz natedogg213's educated, expert opinion says so!

    Stop living in a dreamland. Face the (online) reality.

    And you've done it. Anyone reading this thread will see your opinion, now why repeat it?

    Someone just stick this guy in time-out already, his username is natedogg for crying out loud.

    Yeah, an amorphous mega thread with 15k+ posts is just so helpful...get real! What TA needs to do is add a chat feature to replace that because that thread is the epitome of a garbage can of discussions. Disorganized and constantly changing. I had a question redirected there that was never even responded to because it was basically transferred into oblivion. But whatever floats your boat. I'd hate to see what you consider the other trash can. Also, I can really sense some resentment growing in your posts. Again, calm down buddy!!

    Oh boy, here come the user name attacks. Novel approach there...That would be like me making fun of your 12,000 posts and telling you to get a life. But I won't stoop to that level ;)

    Wow. You really have no idea how a forum thread works. Think that pretty much cleared up all doubts I had about you.

    It's not my fault if you want to convey to the world the image of an ill-educated youth who idolizes the kind of dreadful role model that spends a lifetime dodging the law and getting caught up in drugs and firearms offences. I'm not saying your username proves anything, but it certainly causes people to make assumptions, and one of my first assumptions would be that you were the kind of person who wants something for nothing. Your posts in this topic are only adding weight to my theory. So thanks!

    getting paid....
    Sunny South FL!!
    20 levels and the chance that it'll drop to $.99 relatively soon = no instabuy.

    Also going to wait on control impressions. Control is going to make or break the game...

    INMS, please educate me on how a forum thread works, I am so lost!

    Since we have apparently changed subjects, the massive thread provides value to people who want to dive into it, but it is a compendium of posts resembling a garbage can of information. Nuff said. If I were running this show, which thank the dear lord I am not, I would probably put monthly "What should I get" threads and archive past ones. Therefore it would be a tad more easy to navigate and still help people decide on what are usually the latest titles to come out. But why am I even saying this!? You have yet to contribute any substantive thoughts to this thread. You appear to be best at "infracting" and relocating posts/threads. Maybe you can transfer this to the Feedback section!!

    Are you serious ? I'll take the bait as i dont see a smiley

    In 20 years time when youre using your ipod 12 and out comes a remake of one of your favourites from 2011, i bet your response will be the same to some snotty kid who says 'ha look at the stupid graphics and sound of that game....' etc.

    Theres the huge nostalgic factor for many of us, then theres also the gameplay factor. Space Invaders/Pac Man are still huge today. Why ? Gameplay. Its not the 'crappy' basic graphics or sound, its the gameplay (and memories).

    These 'VCS junk' wont appeal to some 15 year old kid. But someone in their late 30's/early 40's will love it as theyll have those memories of getting that system for the first time

    And also why are we all playing on some tiny ipod gadget instead of some great XBox 360 Kinect ? The X Box has far superior graphics/sound but its all about gameplay at the end of the day and manyyyy games on the Ipod (and back then the 2600) oozed gameplay

    If you dont like it dont buy it but its a bit poor of you to slate all these games

    Rip off ?

    Have you never seen PC DVD's of Atari games or other old skool arcade games for $30 or so ?

    We seem to be forgetting how cheap these games are. Just a dollar or so each or $15 for all of them. Thats 'just' $15 ! Nothing

    Do you even understand the meaning of the thread title "what should I get"?

    I see you've taken the time to Wikipedia that, good for you. Let's be frank MidianGTX (sweet name by the way), with the exception of names including immaturities, masked profanity, racism, etc., making assumptions about someone's actual character based on their gaming forum user name is just plain dumb! I could try to dissect yours or INSM's names, but that is beyond childish. Make all the assumptions you want though, I do find it somewhat amusing. However, your theory that I am the kind of person who wants something for nothing remains just that - a theory - one that could use some evidence or supporting facts. You are insinuating that since I don't want to pony up $15 for a game I believe is overpriced, I expect it for nothing? Sign this guy up as an FBI profiler!
