Perhaps he is a Vegan? Maybe he just needs a little red meat?

....and all of us come to a "dead end" sooner or later, now don't we? <g>  
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!

Yes, except for the colorful descriptions of your wishes, Fallen, you seem to be just as immature (emotionally) as those you loathe.

I agree with Bod, I sometimes am following you one second only to have you take a jarring step into a deranged rant. It's like you're normal one second, then your evil twin pushes you aside and types a while. Perhaps Fallen/FaL-N?

I think that fallen has me pegged.
fat filled lunches ...check
9-5......well 6-3 but I asume that its the same to fallen...check
I just looked out...no guys with mohawks...
Do you think maybe he had a bad experince with guys with mohawks...would explain alot..
Thank god he didnt mention anything about how much beer I drink.
I cant read anything by this guy without wanting to insult him...
Does he acctualy fly in the game...must be a knight...they are all uptight about things...
prone to hero worship ect..

Pyro, I do think that censorship is a most serious matter and not to be undertaken lightly, however, In the case of Fallen and his indignant, self-rightous confusion, I think it's high time the plug was pulled,
This drivel (big word look it up fallen)
has no bearing on anything except perhaps the wasting of bandwidth, and being among the non-cable crowd that is something I take far more seriously than the drool from some people's mouths.
And Fallen, do not attempt to essay an attack
on my person, 'cause 1%'rs don't give a rats a*s about some blue mohawked wannabe.

Enough, back to basics, When we gonna see a German bomber HTC?

*Twitch*

Any ways. Look. Its very simple for me to understand, and no one else seems to. Thats why its so freaking irritating to see others just not get it.

I know people arent always interested in what every one else wants to call the 'best' game. But I also know that people do want to get the most from an experiance, its human nature. I know what HTC must have gone through when they started up, I know they must have finacial problems, I know they must work very hard. Ive been there and done that, and made alot of stupid mistakes that didnt get wonderful dream (laugh) out to the public. Now I see them hitting pitfalls and problems down the line if they want to pursue other types of games or ventures, and I seem them hitting pitfalls with the game theyre currently working on. Alot (if not all) of my older posts were much quieter and sedate and well thought out, but as time progresses and people dont hear what im saying (infact misquote it directly) I start getting alittle peeved. So I post a few things here and there trying to once agian appeal to reason and get flammed or insulted by a bunch of wanks ive never met and who have never met me. That gets to me every time, and I go on and on ranting trying to annoy them as much as possible. (See there I go agian, I think I just lost every one, anyways) And yes to those of you who commented on the strong thoughts/beliefs, I have them and I hold them very dear. Id happily kick someones head in who tried to tell me it was stupid to be idealistic (and I have too, Zoom in on my lengthy police report...touche'?) and that my thoughts or views were invalid just becuase they didnt agree with them. They dont have to agree, I really dont care, I dont agree with most people myself, but I dont go around flamming thier ideas (just thier life styles, its easier to yell at a group than an individual) at this point I really dont give a hoot about the game, or the company or even the longevity of its existence. I just want people to understand that I, (enter name, state, and photo copied self identity) am perfectly sane, though easily angered and very defensive, and will fight to the death (in a shakespearian sort of way...uhh? right. Cue to the merrymen in the forest still running from the Sheriff) when my views and ideals are brought forth and put on trial. I can also understand its hard for you all to follow me, and probally hard to interput all the mindless drivel *cough cough* that flows throughout the whole of the message (any one actually finish the Fountainhead? What are the last 20 pages like? It got boring.) But really it just is that, that being mindless drivel that flows throughout the whole of the message. See...there it was, did yah miss it? Probally. Any ways. Im perfectly sane *cough pyro cough* and dont need psychiatric help or anything like that. I just wanted to you all to see my point of view, and accept it (wether or not you agreed was up to you) and learn something, when I got flammed endlessly I got really really upset over it (anger management class here I come) and reverted to my own 'blue mohawk' days, and started 'kicking in every direction' as a defensive measure as to try and save some personal face (sorry I couldnt care less what you all think of me, only what I think of me, which at this momment isnt a whole helluva lot reading over my posts) So in the end (cut to it damn you, now now) Yes yes...I will. So hush up Fal-N (its actually Sid by choice, or Thomas by birth) Anyways I apologize, it might not mean anything to any one, but I do. Ill try and make it so you hear the least amount from me over the next 4-5 months, give you a chance to forget. Ill probally be paying for aceshigh (with a different handle to avoid annoyance) as ive been flying lately with a different handle (saved a few of your arses too   *cough JelloB-aifra cough* Anyway. Bye now.

PS. Chisel, probally seen you at one of his many spoken words then. I like most if not all of what he has to say, always have, has my full admiration. And who cares about hardcore   Its all crap nowadays any now.

Fallen-

I personally never have a problem with anyone's opinion. I express mine freely, too!   I don't know that I would view all the responses you received as flames per se, many, like me, were just a bit confused.

Of course, I may disagree with a person's opinion.   That shouldn't be construed as an attack. Thanks for the clarification.

The point is, no matter what you do there are people with different variations making more money off it. This is true in my business or anyone elses. So why don't we "copycat" differetn success formulas? Well in my case it's because I like what I do, and I don't like what they do  

Is it so hard to understand that perhaps HTC's business model is something that suits them, their personality, or their desire? This is what they want to do and they're doing it, to hell with what other people are doing.

Oh and PS, the first post was interesting - I always enjoy reading on how others acheived their success - I'm sure pyro does as well. Beats me how this thread got this ugly.
