Excerpts from a heated argument concerning the Battle for Balloms mode in the video game Bomberman Jetters
|
|
|
 | |  |
| if you drop excessive bombs, you're infringing upon my liberty...it's like a prisoner's dilemma where both people defect every time... | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| ...in all fairness, the game is called Bomberman...you're the one who is straddling the extreme by not dropping any bombs--you're forcing me to play the game differently...you won anyway... | |
 | |  |
|
|
|
(At this point, Nick rolls his eyes excessively and acts condescending.)
|
|
|
 | |  |
| ...I didn't have fun taking the moral high ground...you're diluting the game! You score by dropping babies into hatches! You're just subverting the game's intentions to suit your own shortcomings... | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| ...it's a device. Why would the game let you drop bombs if you weren't supposed to use them? It forces you to change your style of play...everyone is still inherently equal... | |
 | |  |
|
|
|
(Five minutes later, while I'm in the shower, Nick acts like a little bitch and talks about how we should be doing better things with our time.)
|
|
|
 | |  |
| ...an amateur is someone who realizes he can manipulate a game, a professional is someone who can note that inadequacy and not abuse it...have fun with your cheap sixty point games, cheater... | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| ...what the fuck are you talking about? Bomberman professional? It's not abusing the game if there is only one action button, which is set bomb...faggot... | |
