I would like to motion that an amendment be added.

11. All gamers can wear the deelie boppers they secretly have duct-taped under their keyboard trays whenever they want without ridicule.

This is a serious issue people.

Yeah, I'm tired, and felt like typing that

In all reality gamers have the right to shell out $50 and hope that it both works and was worth the money. Caveat emptor ladies and gentleman.

Oh and may god have mercy on our consoles playing brethren, they get to shell out $60 and have no hope of a mod community.

 

[Passerby]

ya haveing no mod comunity like the console gammers would suck some of the best games ever made started as mods.

 

[Destroy]

These rules will be added in the Gamer Bible.

 

[Tattered]

When i only played xbox then started playing cs i found its was so much better because with mods one game can be so diffrent

 

[Winston]

Bethesda should have read this for Fallout 3. Everytime a patch comes out I have to find new ways to get around persistent CTDs and ways around running LIVE just to play new content.

Wish that was the case... got Fallout 1/2, and the graphics colors are screwed up.

Nice post, though.
