To Clear Up This Whole OXM Fiasco

[blazsox]

Got my mag today, and here it is straight from the source itself:

VIEW MAG SCAN (http://aycu39.webshots.com/image/11158/2005282567229163461_rs.jpg)

Close the thread if you wish mods, I am not looking for a debate.

[snorkle256]

Wow, that looks cool. It makes me want to subscribe to OXM now.

[DeaconBlade]

debating is ok. but attacking isn't. those guys should know enough about that now. :dunno:

anyway, i'll make sure the guys comment on this tonight. (had to scrap the original episode #29 and revamp it...so i grabbed the guys over at OXM to join me on episode #29...should be up today or tomorrow)

[Sirharper]

Just as I said.

They nixed the points because MS forced them to and instead added a mini-game.

[DJSteel]

yeah well so much for the NEED for the demo discs.. It doesn't matter anymore...

[Sirharper]

I don't know, without the OMX discs I would not much bother with demos.

I see the value in them. Besides I read the magazine almost cover to cover.

[snorkle256]

I personally like having the demo's on a physical format off of my 360's hd. I have bought 3-4 issues over the year so it looks like it's time to get a subsription.

[DJSteel]

ehh.. you get the demo's online quicker that you would on the disc.. it's more for people who don't have Live..

[Mikewarrior]

I blame OXM... It states "Ultimately, WE ran into a ridiculous numbers of snafus and Microsoft nixed our plan."

Yes, it's OXM who screwed up... and it's them who you should focus your hate towards.

[DJSteel]

there is/should be no hate...if they were able to implement something... great more achievements...if not who cares... the discs that they give aren't that huge of a deal..the big thing was they supply demos to those who don't have Live... not to satisfy Mikewarrior

I was talking about Sirharping all the time when he (As always) directed his hate towards Microsoft and blamed them for it.

Btw, that last sentence you directed towards me was ignorant and uncalled for... Never once did I discuss anything about OXM Demo discs.... Get a clue, will ya?

[DJSteel]

what I meant by the last statement wasn't directed towards just you Mike.. but anyone who thinks that OXM was supposed to cater individual gamers vs the masses.. the problem with OXM is that with the original Xbox their discs were great..but since the Marketplace was implemented, it doesn't matter what's on those discs anymore.. demos are on Live a month or two before they come out on OXM.. Now OXM just works for non-Live, non-internet having gamers...which now is a small market

Oh, o.k. just please don't use my name next time to prove that point... Because to me, it is directed towards me.

I also agree with what you have said... I quit getting OXM once it ran out right after I learned about demos on marketplace. The only reason I got it was for the game demos & DL content, because everything else I already knew about a month in advance from being on the Internet.

you were the last poster i.e the easiest to use at the moment...lol

Not always.

You're wrong. Thats all there is to it. You don't know what you're talking about as always.

That explains why most all of your information is completely wrong.

[Mikewarrior]

That explains why most all of your information is completely wrong.

What explains my information as being wrong?

[Mikewarrior]

You're wrong. Thats all there is to it. You don't know what you're talking about as always.

Wow, now that proves a point... where did you get such high intelligence?

[Sirharper]

Wow, now that proves a point... where did you get such high intelligence?


Mainly by finishing graduate degrees, working full time, supporting a family, buying homes, etc.

...oh then when I am not doing that I still find time to generate a gamerscore 10x higher than yours. Proving of course I am far more expirenced to speak about Xbox 360 than you.

So what have you done to support your claims? Surf the net for disinformation it would seem, your record of accuracy in your statements is abysmal.

Your attempts to label me as stupid are perhaps your biggest joke yet.

[Mikewarrior]

So what have you done to support your claims? Surf the net for disinformation it would seem, your record of accuracy in your statements is abysmal.

Really, prove it... Show me 10 things that I have stated that are dead wrong. And please don't pull facts out of your butt... PROVE IT with some type of non-Sony owning link!

Waiting? It should be very easy for you to prove such a thing if my record of accuracy is so abysmal.

[Sirharper]

Look at all the other people here that are correcting you on your BS. It's not just me.

Look at how your reputation on this site is DEAD LAST. (for comparison sake mine is tied for 3rd highest)

[Sirharper]

Listen to Show #29 yet?

Everything happened just like I said. That will teach you all to doubt me.

I particularly liked how they catagorically debunked all of the items Mike listed as reasons for OXM being dead.

[Mikewarrior]

Goes to show your ignorance if you care so much for a forum reputation... I don't give a crap what you think is wrong... YOU nor anyone else can't even list 10 things I've said that are for a Fact wrong, ands I have posted 100's of times throughout here & Xbox.com.

Don't say stupid shit if you can't even back it up!

[Sirharper]

You know Mike, if you really insist you are right and the rest of the world is wrong then that is a sure sign of mental illness.

Your continued attempts to say I am ignornant for not agreeing with your rabid pro-360 stance further demonstrate your irrelevancy.

[DJSteel]

if he is so right...why does everyone disagree with him??

[Sirharper]

if he is so right...why does everyone disagree with him??


My point exactly.

[Mikewarrior]

if he is so right...why does everyone disagree with him??

You disagree because you are ignorant (Yes, I went there after you pushed) You have yet to prove anything I've said wrong. So are you denying that Sony said/done the things I've talked about?

[Mikewarrior]

My point exactly.

You never have a point... All you do is hate on people who show their reasons why they dislike a company.

[DeaconBlade]

:thread:

[big isy]

:thread:

I concur.

[Sirharper]

:thread:

Ban Mike and this forum will return to it's normal self. Not a day passes without him calling somebody ignorant without basis.

[Sirharper]

You never have a point... All you do is hate on people who show their reasons why they dislike a company.

Where's the hate? You're the one that cannot debate without calling names.

[Mikewarrior]

Where's the hate? You're the one that cannot debate without calling names.

Fanboy ring a bell?

Btw... Are you a fan of any sport team?

[Sirharper]

Thats hate? There are websites that call THEMSELVES fanboys. Fanboy is not a hateful term. It is a descriptive one.

Yes of course I am the fan of many teams. As you would know by listening to the U360 podcast that I made a guest appearance in I stated that worse fanboys could be found in cars and sports than in consoles.

[Mikewarrior]

Thats hate? There are websites that call THEMSELVES fanboys. Fanboy is not a hateful term. It is a descriptive one.


It's a derogatory term, If you don't know what that means... Then just trust me when I say you use that in a demeaning way, and I can prove it by your stupid site that shows your hate towards such FANBOYS.

Give it up, you're outmatched & outclassed.

[Sirharper]

I love how you attempt to add gravity to your worthlessness by adding those little self-proclaiming statements at the end.

You are of course wrong. If what you say were true than sites like this seek to demean themselves?!?!?

Do I need to teach you everything... A person can call themselves something, yet it's not demeaning. Like an African-American can call themselves a certain term, yet no one else better use that or it will be looked upon as a demeaning word. It's also not always that fanboy word you say, but how you say it towards me.

Don't act clueless to your own actions.

[Sirharper]

LMFAO!!!

You are trying to compare it to that?!?!?

OMG you are so truly lost.

[Mikewarrior]

LMFAO!!!

You are trying to compare it to that?!?!?

OMG you are so truly lost.

It's an example, not a comparison... Educate yourself.

[Sirharper]

When you said the word "like" you were making a comparison.

That is not disputable.

[Mikewarrior]

When you said the word "like" you were making a comparison.

That is not disputable.

No, it's an example... No go read and learn the difference.

[big isy]

Mike....... it was a comparison. Sorry mate but I gotta call it like I see it.

[Mikewarrior]

Mike....... it was a comparison. Sorry mate but I gotta call it like I see it.

So you are saying I am comparing the word FANBOY to the N word? = That's just stupid of you guys.

[Sirharper]

So you are saying I am comparing the word FANBOY to the N word? = That's just stupid of you guys.


Yes, that is exactly what you tried to compare it to. Pretty stupid huh?

[big isy]

So you are saying I am comparing the word FANBOY to the N word? = That's just stupid of you guys.

There's no two ways about it. If you said 'for example' it would one thing but clearly said 'like'. Obviously I know you were implying an example but from what you wrote its as clear as day.

[Mikewarrior]

Yes, that is exactly what you tried to compare it to. Pretty stupid huh?

Get a clue will ya... When I used the word LIKE it's used as an example... When I use the word verses or vs. it's used as a comparison... I used the word LIKE!

Get it, got it, good!

[Sirharper]

More backpedaling.

[Mikewarrior]

More backpedaling.

No, it's called explaining to the dumb... Maybe I should draw you a picture to explain it.

[big isy]

I thought we were past the name calling. And for the love of all that is righteous, why are you still piping over that? It was a comparison but it was implied as an example. Both of you are right although Mike should clarify what he means for future purposes. I've already mistaken what you're saying by assuming you meant something you didn't :lol:

[DeaconBlade]

should i close this now or later? :dunno:

[Mikewarrior]

should i close this now or later? :dunno:

Now, please.

[big isy]

As much as I hate doing this I have to agree and request that you close it. It's getting rather retarded in here :lol:
