tbh, "might" isn't good enough.

You all fail to realize that "Alphaturd" is actually a clever play on words in VoD's native German. There's no exact English translation, but it roughly means "lingering sense of disappointment mixed with a fear of mini-games".

at least you still understand me, *sob*

but bros no need to get all butthurt, sorry that I declined this place so much, I understood: don't pull that shit with Obsidian, only with Bethesda & Moulinex
No. NO! DON'T GIVE IN TO THEM. KEEP FIGHTING THE GOOD FIGHT WITH YOUR WORDS.

What the hell happened to you VoD?
From reading your recent posts it really looks like you have finally cracked under the KKK pressure and transformed into yet another slobbering moron. What a shame.

I only said something cause this was the second time he's used it. And what's worse than reusing a joke that wasn't all that funny the first time? Although if I have to, I guess I can learn to live with the alphaturds in the punch bowl.

Or they could just call it by the title once in awhile. I mean shit, I understand this place is a parody of actual game websites, but come on.

This isn't even about liking games, it's about being subtle or actually being funny.

How about you throw out some news posts then? Some witty, amusing news posts. Will you do that? Think of it as 'cleaning up the town', while showing your ability to do so in gentle parody.

Eagerly looking forward to the first content.

You can't say my food tastes like shit until you learn to cook!

I see the error of my ways now. Apologies. I should have never used the derogatory term Alphaturd. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings or your refined tastes. It is my fault after all - I said something inappropriate. On the Codex. Instead I should have used something more witty - as Azrael the Cat pointed out - Alpha Turdocol or Alpha Proto-Turd. Or Alpha "Pile of Shit" Protocol. Live and learn, I guess.

Stop beeing an emo faggot VoD. It obviously was atrocious and retarded, just deal with it and stop whining.

When did all this "Obsidian fanboys are here" bullshit start? Who are the mysterious Obsidian fanboys, VoD?

It's not about Alpha Protocol. It's that the pun is really bad. It's like stuff you considered funny when you were 14 and which you want to forget. Don't make us remember the stuff we considered funny when we were 14, VoD.

I'd even prefer "A FUCKING PILE OF WORTHLESS SHIT might get patched". I propose you change the topic name to that, VoD.

Don't you all think you're exaggerating a bit?

I have no idea, but I also don't remember having complained about them. I am an Obsidian fan after all, having liked all their games except Alpha Sozzycol, which is clearly not a game for me.

Ok the pun was bad. Big deal. How often did I make puns with Alpha Protocol in news posts? 2 out of 100 times? Get over it.

I won't change the title.

I guess I am one of the bigger Obsidian fanboys around, but that's subjective. I've enjoyed all of their games, some of them almost as much as Fallout and Torment so I don't see why I should jump on the bandwagon and hate them when they make games I like. It doesn't mean I can't criticize them when the criticism is valid though. It would be more correct to say that I have shit taste as far as Codex standards goes.

Pete "full of shit" Hines was similarly neither "funny nor clever but asinine and juvenile", and as you now criticize someone else for doing the same thing you did it is an appropriate jab.
Have I ever claimed that it was funny and witty? Pete lied through his teeth (and not the first time). Calling a liar "full of shit" is a rude but appropriate comment.

As for the Alphaturd comment, as others have said it's just a bad pun, hence the reaction. There are very few constructively critical posts but plenty of idiotic name- changing variations: alpha brotocol, lolocol, alphafail, ass protocol, ass brotocol, etc. Enough already. If someone wants to trash the game, write a review.

No. I haven't finished the game yet (lack of time, etc) and to review it properly one needs to play it through at least twice to see different choices and consequences. Some things that trustworthy people like BN have been mentioning sound pretty fucking awesome.

Butthurt detected.

That's a new one... you have to write a review in order to make fun of a game.

Imagine when Age of Faggotry is released... :smug:

Make fun? Do you see many people laughing at the joke?

Here's a new one: Jokes are all good and are universally funny.

Yes, he made fun of it. If it was funny or not it's kinda irrelevant especially when you're asking that he writes a review so he has the privilege of mocking the game.
