The WOW Effect

[johnnysix]

Hey Everyone,

I want to state upfront that this thread is meant in good humor and it is not my intention to create a "let's bitch about Alex" thread.

With that said, I think it might be fun as a community to start keeping track of all the blanket statements Alex tends to make in the game segment. The kind of sweeping, genre eliminating statements that we have come to know and love about Alex's video game discussions.

Off the top of my head we have:

A dislike for RTS games
A dislike for turn based strategy games
A dislike for single player games
A dislike for fighting games

..... I'm sure I've missed some. I know he's being honest and as a viewer I appreciate, I just kind of laugh a little bit about it these days as I've become more aware of it.

FPS's he can't do. Racing sims. But that's the same as the other boys, they only racing games with Burnout in them. Flatout is fun as hell though, they should give that a shot. The added affect of your driver rag dolling flying through the windshield and bouncing along the track getting torn up by other cars and environment. That is actually one of the highest levels of actual 'fun' I've ever had playing a game.

Affliction was firstly an incredibly expensive t-shirt company, that then started sponsoring MMA fighters, which in turn created a cess pool of morons buying and wearing $150 t-shirts out to nice bars/restaurants, to show that they like MMA. Then affliction became a promoter and signed a huge portion of the top 10 fighters in the world, paying some fighters 2 million to show, with 3 fight deals.......and it signed alot of these contracts,... then it only made about 2 mill on it's first 2 shows and so then it announced, our next fight promotion will be our last, we're going back t-shirts. . . basically, in a nutshell.

I admire the support Tapout crew has poured on the sport and it's fighters, but they are absolute morons and make the sport look bad everywhere they go.

I don't frequent my bar like I used to, to eat/drink or dj anymore, but all the bouncers are fighters (1 of them actually signed a deal with affliction and has a fight in Jan.), and I get sick of those 2 shirt brands.

[scoobydiesel]

Wanna get excited ? The bouncers at my bar are Herb Dean and Larry Landless, plus a few fighters you don't know. Good to know you are an MMA fan, but stop buying Tapout and Affliction, or I'll triangle you.

lol Jk.Nothing to worry about. You would not be wearing Tapout or UFC clothing if you were a fashion-oriented "metro". Possibly plaid, but not the kind of plaid that goes with a Tapout t-shirt.
