In honor of Skyrims release.

Post by Hejerrick »

So, in honor of the release of this years (probably a couple of years) biggest videogame release in terms of sheer quality, diversity and fan-service, I have decided that I am going to destroy a bland game minutes before I play Skyrim for the very first time. This will be filmed and put on youtube for all you peoples viewing pleasure. In the video, I'll be explaining why this or that game is an abomination onto gaming before "forcing its balance to be pushed to breaking" I you catch my drift.

Question is: what genre should this game come from?
You get 2 votes so you will be able to vote on what game you hate the most while still obtaining a few karma points. Or vote on 2 games, I don't really care either way.

Vote my lovelies!!

Comment on how I might perform this public service. I live in the center of Copenhagen (Capital of sarcastic racism) and I haven't got access to a firearm of any kind, if I am quick I may be able to get my hands on some explody stuff(no promises though). You may also suggest other games, bear in mind though, that I might not own it already, so it has to be cheap to get ahold of if I don't.

Did someone say: "Destroy Fable?"
It might be advertising, but I want to see this allowed.

I'm not sure that I'm willing to risk destroying our already dodgy microwave, but I might.

I'm pretty sure that this would be the worlds least effective advertising campaign then..

I voted for 'All of the above', but if you can't manage that, get rid of one of the repetitive banes upon humanity - Fifa!

I'll break 'em all if you so desire :Twisted Evil: but the game with the highest 2nd place will be destroyed a bit more thoroughly I promise.

The bomb part is going to be difficult, but I'll try to hook myself up with explosives if possible.

..because it's stupid and there is no need to destroy any of them. Its pretty childish. Utterly pointless, kinda like half of the threads that get started in this sub-forum..

Buzzkill...

I'd say kill Madden if you can only destroy one of them, It's the one video-game that my dad can beat me at.

You'd have to explain to me why there is no need to destroy any of them. By destroying them I might entertain someone somewhere. While letting them remain intact in a drawer somewhere doesn't do anyone any good at all. Childish? maybe. Pointless? In no way shape or form.

It's your opinion I guess.

Why destroy it when you could trade it in. Sure you won't get much, but at least someone would get some actual enjoyment out of it, and not some adolescent "enjoyment" out of seeing them being destroyed. I'd also suggest that it's pretty disrespectful to the people who worked on those games to destroy them, even if you did pay for them.

Outside of all that.. This topic has nothing to do with Skyrim, so why is it even in this sub-forum, in the first place?
