Author Topic: Agatha Christie you haters! (Read 20117 times)

Since I feel like overanalyzing something, let's take a look back at the start of this thread.

pap64: Agatha who?
Strell: YOU WILL HOLD YOUR FAT TONGUE, BURGERLAD.
Bill: Laugho, pap fails at mysteries...I'm not a *huge* fan of the Christie novels (I'm personally a Conan Doyle fanatic), but I'm all over more adventures for Wii...More...MORE!
Smash_Brother: Wrote a bunch of sh*tty mystery novels a while back. She's either dead now or should be because no one reads books anymore.

So pap asked a simple question, Strell mistakenly took its wording to be a put down and responded in kind, Bill chuckled a bit before moving on, almost parenthetically answering the question, and then some guy named Smash_Brother (Smash who?) lit a bonfire. That was "striking back at a few of the folks who had jumped all over Pap," huh? There had been only two responses, only one of which could be called enraged, and I'd say that one looked like a misunderstanding.

I'm just glad you had fun.

I personally didn't feel offended or anything. I didn't do it to start a flame thread, though. I was born in a whole different country and only learned about Latin American authors, so people like Agatha Christie was not in our school curriculum.

It's true that I should have just Wikipedia it, but like S_B said, I wanted to get the info from you guys.

But whatever, the damage's done already. I am just happy that I was the inspiration behind this whole train wreck of a thread

(unless S_B's using me as an excuse to start an AC flame and hate campaign).

I wouldn't have said a word on the subject had you not been jumped at, Pap. It doesn't take much for me to defend someone, even if they weren't personally offended.

But yeah, I had fun anyway. This was one of the luckiest arguments I've ever accidentally engaged in: every time I needed to refute something, it was a google/wiki away.

Sorry if someone beat me to it this (I dont feel like reading 4 pages to check right now), but I was sitting in class and this game came to mind.

I was thinking that after you beat the game you could unlock a bonus version where you play the killer, Judge Wargrave. I think that would be really cool, you could go around the house committing the murders, and skillfully planting traps for everyone else to fall into.

... I didn't know who Agatha Christie was before this thread ...

... in fact ... in my head I had her mixed up with Nancy Drew ...

Pap64 needs to be banned just like segagamer. He's a troublemaker and makes dupe threads.

On the subject, what kind of name is Agatha? Ain't no hot chicks named Agatha.

It has nothing to do with her type of books, just that the internet is slowly killing reading.

But the internet is made up mostly of text! If anything, I'd say it's defending reading from being killed off by movies and television.

Whoa.

Partybear, you took that comment way too seriously.

I don't know why anyone listens to Pap or Smash_Brother anyways. They both were exposed as racists today. It was easy to uncover their dirty secret too, thanks to all the Agatha Christie books I've read.

I don't take anything seriously, but I am too sarcastic for my own good sometimes.

Hostile Creation · « **Reply #85 on:** March 23, 2007, 05:44:27 AM »

I just realized why Agatha Christie could be considered better than both Poe and Doyle, working in the crime and mystery genre. Certainly comparable, and why she had such a tremendous influence.
I don't have the time to say right now, cuz I have class in a few minutes, but I'll post something later on.

That raises a question: how the hell ARE they going to do this game?

There was no detective who was unraveling the case like in Sherlock Holmes' adventures. How exactly does one "play" this book?

Don't get me wrong: I find many of his works to be spot-on in their interpretation, just that some aged better than others.

Well, I meant book sales, but you get the idea.

I see fewer and fewer people curling up with a book anymore and I largely suspect the internet is replacing that.

And I was waiting for Princess Agitha to show up...

Princess Agatha is a dog. Look at those giant ears, look at those zits/mole covering her face!

Smash_Brother · « **Reply #90 on:** March 23, 2007, 05:20:35 PM »

In all seriousness, Agitha has the worst case of lolitis I've ever seen, right down to the way she bobs her head as she talks in order to sound "matter of factly" and points her feet inward.

Princess Agathta: If I wanted to be pandered to, I would've bought FFX-II

You could always buy the $10 PC version at Wal*Mart and find out.

Technically, I could check Gamefaqs, but I wasn't terribly interested in it to start with so I can't be bothered with it (too busy with Godfather and soon Kororinpa).
