What? How is it my mistake if I replied to Laser Link before your post was posted? I'm not going to go and re-type my message just because you posted at the exact time as me. I only felt that one part of your post was worth replying to so I made another post.
And it's still a problem if many people notice it.
Settle down, children. :p
Hmm...
*faints*
*wakes up in rubble of the laws of physics themselves*
Huh?
You didn't make any sense, DJ. I'm inconsiderate because I didn't see your post before I replied to LL?
Ah I see, I read your post as though you were responding to LL, saw mine, and then responded to me. I read too much into the word "started".
Well, now I gotta say you certainly were mean to LL, and NO ONE can be mean to him.
LL is being a punk. He keeps on suggesting that I haven't seen the afterburner, for reasons unknown to me. Even after I stated several times that I have seen it he continues to doubt me. That's very annoying, and he's very patronizing.
OB1, I have never heard you say that you have seen an Afterburner. You never said it in this thread before my last reply, and I can't remember you ever saying it before. I've seen the blue pics you've posted a lot, but as far as I knew you had never seen the real thing. But if you really have seen it, then I take back everything I said.
Quote:It's a good light, but the SP one is better. It has less of a blue tint and the light covers the entire screen very evenly.
Didn't I already agree to that?
And I'm not angry with Nintendo or jealous of anyone with a GBA SP. I'm perfectly happy with my GBA- not that I even play it much. I'm not going to buy a SP because I'm not interested in it.
From January 9, 2003:
Your post:
Quote:OB1 you haven't ever seen an Afterburner in action, have you? You always talk about the blue tint like it destroys the game completely, but I've never seen it. Ever. And while Billy said the new GBA's screen was better than a screen with an Afterburner (and it better be, since this is first party), he said there wasn't a huge difference and you probably wouldn't want to bother getting a new GBA if you already had one with a working Afterburner.
My reply:
Quote:Yes I've seen a GBA with an afterburner. One of my brother's friends got one not too long ago, and he showed it to me last month. It was pretty good, but I did notice a slight blue tint. But I'm pretty sensitive to that sort of thing, so most people probably won't be bothered by it. My floodlight does do a better job at illuminating, although it make the GBA less portable. And I never suggested that the blue tint destroys the games. It just kind of annoys me. Just a bit.
There ya go. I also mentioned in this very thread that those pictures don't look exactly like the afterburner does in person. Now why would I say that if I haven't seen one myself? And does that sound like I'm biased against the Afterburner?

Well you certainly get defensive whenever anyone says something against the afterburner.
Um... something is gonna get undone here... OBQuiet, just step away, NOW! LL was not being mean to you, you are just way too sensitive sometimes. Before you respond to that, just remember that if you decide to blow up again you will just proove my point. I don't mean anything offensive, though I'm sure that's what it sounds like. I'm merely suggesting that perhaps you need to simply learn that most of the time people aren't attacking you just because they are quite adamently disagreeing with you. You throw around the word "punk" alot (often totally misusing the word), but really, getting so easily offended and taking personal all the comments you have been lately is in fact punk behavior. You also seem to place the act of being all defensive and disagreeable on the opponent. LL makes statements like "I never saw a blue tint", not "there IS no blue tint and you are insane to see it". I'M the one who says the latter :D. I'm not trying to "start something". I'm not trying to patronize you with this. I'm merely making a suggestion that perhaps you might be happier if you didn't read everything in such a manner as to read into any disagreement (or suggestion regarding your motives) is an attack.
There's a big difference between disagreeing with someone and repeatedly calling them a liar. I don't get mad at ABF when we constantly disagree with each other, but I will not allow someone to call me a liar over and over.
And DJ, this whole voice of reason thing you try to act out every every day got old around six months ago. Just stick to your usual nonsensical posts and we'll all be much happier.
I said it because in the past you would make a big deal about the blue tint, and I would always tease you about never actually seeing it. This is probably the 342379th time we've gone through the routine, so I figured you got the joke. I was never, ever calling you a liar. You shouldn't over exagerate the things people say and take them as a direct attack on your character. It was intended as a joke. That's all, no insult intended. Take it or leave it.
What joke? You kept on insisting that I was flat-out lying about playing an Afterburned GBA. There was no sarcasm, no hints that you were kidding around. And you certainly followed up your statements in a serious manner.
Quote:I still don't believe OB1 has ever seen the Afterburner in action, but he sees the blue tint in his nightmares! :)
You are right, that is the most vile statement ever. Especially that wickedly angry face at the end. In addition, not in A SINGLE ONE of my posts did I ever mention that it was intended as humor. Certainly not every single one of them.
Sarcasm aside, maybe I've found the problem. When I said "I don't believe", I meant it in the way of "As far as I know he's never claimed to see an Afterburner", not "I think he's lying". Maybe that's the misunderstanding.
I already told you back in January that I did see one, and I've implied several times in this thread that I have. That did not sound like "As far as I know he's never claimed to see an Afterburner". You simply said that you do not believe me when I said that I have. If there's one thing I cannot stand, it's being called a liar.
