Oh ho ho.  They're all so naive.

I usually try to just stress how much I like it, but I barely frequent any gaming forums aside from this one.

I give up in these discussions when they pop up at school. Even though some folks there arent afraid of having one, some people come up with some BS exscuses. The most popular one being that it doesnt have the GTA series.

I think we have our new drug for DARE (Or whatever those Drug awareness things are) to harass people about not to use.

i don't even participate in conversations about how the gc is the worst anymore.  all of my friends are just so ignorant.  y'know, everyone wants the console they have to be the best one.  the poor kid who thinks the ps2 is graphicly superior, the young boy who thinks now that a smaller controller is out the xbox is the best.  i just give up, they automaticly dismiss my comments becasue i am a loyal fan to the people who have been number one in the videogame market for much longer than sony of microsoft.  just, make the desicion that's right for you, as long as you're happy, who cares?

Actually, the only people who start saying the GC is kiddy or the worst console are my friends who only do it as a joke. I've never gotten into a debate simply because one's never popped up, and I hope it stays that way.

Ther is ONE guy, though, who maintains that Wind Waker is the kiddiest game ever, yet he owns a Gamecube (he camped out with me), he loved Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask, and loves Super Monkey Ball and Dance Dance Revolution (2 games that generally indicate you don't care what other people think about you if you play them). He hasn't even played Wind Waker and refuses to do so. I gave up on trying to convince him- missing out on such an experience is punishment in of itself.

I suggest you tie him down, threaten the well being of him and his family, and force him to play.  Then he'll learn to like it!  Bwa ha ha!!!

I feel sorry for him.  As for my friends, one plays mainly RPGs, and though he doesn't have a system, PS2 would probably his first choice.  He plays SSBM with us though, but refuses to play Monkey Ball because we always beat him using Baby.  My other just plays games on his PC, but will play Monkey Ball or whatever else we've got.  He loves Sonic Adventure Battle 2.  One owns an Xbox, but always says that he like PS2 and Gamecube just as much, and the other one owns a PS2 and Gamecube, and he'll play Halo a bit if the Xbox guy brings it.  Those're the dudes I play video games with, so there was never any reason why we should debate.

My friends know that I am a die hard Nintendo fan, and they only really start that crap up as a joke.  They know my stance on the issue, and it just doesn't need saying.  However, I think it's rather amusing that my Xbox-buying friends have slowly started buying GameCubes for various different games, most commonly Metroid Prime and Zelda: Wind Waker.

Yeah. But there is always this one guy who is a stubborn prick. I don't know if he likes Xbox or just does it to piss me off, but everytime he sees me (in real life or on ICQ) he just starts talkin pro-Xbox, pro-Bill, pro-Microsoft.

Maybe he's having Bill Gates Baby or some radiation escaped a certain green gelatin like glowing object, and affected his motor skills and just blabs random stuff about gates and M$ in general.

I've never witnessed anyone bashing the GC. Even those of my friends who dislike the Cube do so because they hate consoles in general. But aside from a few SSB addicts noone really likes my cubey...

It is pointless to argue with some people.

Random Idiot: Hahaha, look at that game, zelda, haha thats ghey!

Me: Thats The Legend of Zelda? One of the greatest games of all time?
RI: Ahahah! Great at being ghey!
RI2: HAHA!
Me: *rolling eyes* So you've played it?
RI: Who would want to play a crappy ghey game for KIDS!
Me: Hey, your a kid.
RI: But i dont like baby games!
RI2: nintendo make games for babies
Me: I have never seen a baby play a game in my life
RI2: You suck
RI: nintendo sucks
RI2: HAHAHAAHAHAH!
Me: Nintendo make better games than any other company in the world
RI: except microsoft! haha! hayloe is the best!
Me: Arent you a bit young to be playing halo?
RI: im cool!
Me: *sigh* whatever, go play your crap M rated games then.

You just cant win! Even if you have the best arguments in the world, these idiots will just say something like "nintendo sucks" or "thats ghey" and think its hilarious. People make me sick.

and they say we stick to the same points over and over again....*sighs*

It is pretty pointless. There are some people who every now and then actually know games as well as you do, but even they use the same pointless points, so you never really know which is which - the idiot or the gamer idiot who bought the Xbox.

Of course I stand up for Nintendo, their games, and their hardware.  However, the kiddie bull crap gets real old and I tire of seeing discussions about it all over the net.  I really don't feel too much like debating such things anymore.  What are people's opinions worth, anyways?  Of what value are the thoughts of the ignorant?

I guess I'll stand up for Nintendo but I don't really get into big arguements or anything.  Something that's based entirely on opinion isn't worth too much trouble.  Some people are just dumb.  Like this guy in college I had a conversation with.

Him: You should have got an Xbox.
Me: Well I like more games on the Gamecube.
Him: ... you should have got an Xbox.

Man that used to piss me off.  Apparently liking Gamecube more isn't a valid reason for buying a Cube over an Xbox.

Almost all of my friends say that their consoles are better, but when I go to their houses they always ask my to bring my Cube and that's all we play.

I did have an ongoing debate with a kid on the bus about whether Xbox or Cube was better. By the end I had him down to the point that his only argument was that the GC's game discs broke too easily, then school ended. Sad how he tried to hold on to his M$ brainwashing so long.

Mario, that's hilarious!
The ones who say "Nintendo is kiddie" aren't the consumers, it's the media.  Even stupid M$ (can't remember which guy) made a kiddie comment, so did Nokia.  There all a bunch of idiots.

i used to have to all the time. i think the flaming fanboy crap has died down a lot from the begining of this generation. everyone thought that their system was going to kick the others ass. but it turns out its just a dead lock. i think when the next gen launches, that it the fan boys will pick up again....side note harry potter 5 is the sh!t

well, only one friend of mine makes fun of the gc as a joke.  but the conversations don't pop up very often becasue non of my friends are as into video games as i am.  but there's one thing we all agree on, mario+duckhunt rules.  and nintendo's doing better now, alot better.  the kiddie argument is getting old even for the people who atcually think it's true, and people start to realize that if these games are kiddie games, then they're damn good ones.  i'm really looking forward to what happens next generation, an what happens with the pocket playstation.  actually, i want to see what happens with the N-Gage just so i can laugh!

Heh.  I was right there being the voice of doom on the PSX, and I was right there with the same thing on the PS2 and the Xbox too.  The problem is that my logic is still pretty much correct on why they SHOULD have failed.  They just didn't, and it really bothers me that the mass market just doesn't see it...

Ah well, it's about time for me to foretell the death of the PS3 and Xbox2.

I have 5 really good friends, 2 of them only play PC, 2 plays PS2 and 1 plays GC(totaling 2 GC players if you count me, GC is my only system) I can understand other persons opinion for owning PS2, because he is a huge FF fan, and about all RPGs in that matter. But the other one is stereotypical PS2 owner, he was thinking about buying a console, he asked from me about all three, and i gave him my opinions, soon he decided not to buy Xbox(one down, one to go at that point ) But when couple days later i was talking to him he said that he gets PS2 because GC is for kids. I didint even bother after that, he wasent worthy of GC.

Hey, PS3 and NextBox suck.

One crap thing about one of my friends is that even though he has a Gamecube (good on him, I say), he is the biggest wuss and mamma's boy in creation. He got homesick at all out school camps, and his 'date' at our Year 12 Formal (or Prom for you Americans) was his 21 year old cousin, for crying out loud. And he went all out in a limo and everything. They even went to the afterparty together *shudders*. His cousin  is HOT, by the way, so we didn't make to much of a fuss when he introduced her to us.
He's a good bloke, and a GREAT gamer, however. Which reminds me. I haven't seen him since we finished school in October last year. COuld he have changed since then?
Nah, not according to my friends who see him at uni.
