Some people just don't realize that opinions are relative. They mistake their choice as a finite rule that people should follow because people doing anything other than that causes what is known as cognitive dissonance. It's VERY common, and you shouldn't let it get to you, it just means that particular person has a little more to learn about life before they settle on their views and ideals.
Play games, have fun and don't worry if people aren't acting intelligibly. As long as you are happy, that is all that matters ;D

@SKRIBBLE: Hi5.
I'm fully aware that people believe their opinions are gospel. I guess I'm still just sort of hoping that someday my ranting will open someone's eyes. At least it's a worthy goal to have in life, no?

Why are people so bitchy about this console war bullshit?
You must be talking about other people in other sites because I have yet seen anything recent in the cblogs about the console wars, aside from you that is.

Yeah I hear ya hahah, I used to rant about shit allll the time. It's good to get things off your chest, and it also helps flesh out your own opinions about things.
I learned a little while ago that telling people they are wrong and expecting them to go "oh, you're right, I've been illogical this entire time!" just doesn't happen. You can always help people along with advice, but you will never change somebodies beliefs with a few of words.
If you really want to make a difference to somebodies life, the number one thing to remember is to BE NICE! People are always willing to listen if you are friendly, and they are more accepting of what you say because of that; being a cold hearted dick won't make people listen to you any more.
The best thing you can do when you come in to contact with fanboys is to set a good example. Keep a level head, tell them you respect their opinion but that you don't agree with it because... etc etc
Like I said, ranting is great, it lets you build upon ideas and opinions you already have and allows you to vent about things that irritate you; hey, we are all human. But rambling about shit and how it annoys you is not the way to incite change ;D
I hope I don't sound like a dick. Just trying to relay some personal experience.

@Y0j1mb0: A point that I should have made more clear: This rant was incited by the frontpage MSG4 360 post. Some of the comments bugged me, but I didn't want to spam the comments. Also, I've only posted one cblog entry, and I felt that this owuld be another good entry.
@SKRIBBLE:This is the truth. Like I said at the beginning of the entry, though: I figured it'd just come off as some "angry guy on the internet" thing. When it comes to personal conversations, it's much easier to give good, rational argument, and that's what I prefer to do.

I'm glad you got to vent, but it seems you are suffering from PTSD from fighting in the great Console War. Didnt you hear? The war is over! MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! :P
Seriously though, I agree with most of what you said. Glad you got that off your chest :D
