The People Speak: Nominate, Dammit

Posted on Sunday, August 21 @ 20:00:00 Eastern by Daniel Bischoff

NOMINATE COMMENTS

Every nomination ALSO counts an entry in our quarterly The People Speak drawing. There are so many comments, but not enough nominations! Just reply to a comment you think is worthy, and say "nominated" or "I nominate this comment" or even just "The People Speak." Let's see some nominations next week, otherwise I'll have to feature comments I think are excellent, like Josh's:

Did Konami Ruin the Voice Acting in Silent Hill 2?

Comment by Josh_Laddin.

I'm going with the "both terrible" crowd on this one.

Why Is the Korean War Ignored?

Comment by bobbyclafrance.

Korea isn't over yet, just a cease fire. Who wants to play a video game with no conclusive ending. How about a game where Truman has the balls to let mcArthur bomb the Chinese back to the stone age and end the war.

GameStop Sales Down, Digital Sales Up

Comment by Commiebot.

I used to work at a Gamestop for about 3 years, and I'm not surprised that the regular sales have been dropping. Customer service is usually terrible due to the corporate offices giving out the bare minimum of hours to stores in general, then expecting us to work miracles on our meager amount of time. Since the numbers of subscriptions and pre-orders expected was tied to our number of transactions, it always left us at a disadvantage to be busy. Seeing as we were the only game store near to a military base and three small towns, we were plenty busy, and kept getting hours cut because we didn't meet our quotas.

Anything to avoid the service at a Gamestop is a good thing, it seems. We have spoken with our wallets.

Valve and Steam Want EA Back

Comment by sliverstorm.

That was probably the humbles "We are going to ****ing destroy Origin" I have ever heard.

The One Thing Deus Ex: Human Revolution Is Missing

Comment by drathbone.

Sweet, I can't wait for the "ATM Insurrection" DLC

Lies, anyone who up votes their own comments can't be telling the truth.

Look I could squash you like a bug if I felt like it. So why don’t you leave me alone, and go back to doing whatever it is that makes you a miserable SOB.

To answer to your query, I sought aide from the Dictionary. First are the list of definitions, second is my answer to your question concerning each definition.

mad [mad]
(comparative madÂ·der, superlative madÂ·dest)
adj
1. angry: affected by great displeasure or anger
2. frantic: done with great haste, excitement, or confusion (offensive in some contexts)
3. markedly aggressive: unusually aggressive or ferocious (refers to animals; offensive in some contexts)
4. rabid: describes an animal that has rabies
5. offensive term: an offensive term meaning affected with a psychiatric disorder
6. very unwise or rash: lacking common sense and not reasoning logically (insult) (offensive in some contexts)
7. wildly excited: completely unrestrained and out of control (offensive in some contexts)
8. rambunctious: very exciting or boisterous (sometimes offensive)
9. seized by uncontrollable emotion: overcome with a violent emotion (sometimes offensive)
10. passionate about something: very fond of, enthusiastic about, or interested in something, often to the exclusion of everything else (often used in combination, offensive in some contexts)

1. No. But have been many times in the past.
2. I’m far too lazy to do anything with great haste.
3. Only when I’m playing games.
4. No, not rabid.
5. Yes, but the meds help some.
6. Some people might think I am.
7. Again far too lazy to get out of control.
8. See answers 2. & 7.
9. That’s what happened to my last PC.
10. Yes, for video games.

I'm nominating this for next week, not based on the merit of the comment, but purely because of your new avatar PLUS the comment.

Daniel, of all my comments that you could have put up there, you put that one? Not my Portal 2 opus that I wasted many precious minutes on the clock to come up with? The one I'm linking to here?

True, that was the better comment. This week was horrible :-/ even the nominated comments weren't that amazing. Hopefully next week will be better.

Seems like the best GRs community can come up with is only slightly better than an aneurysm.
