		<description>Alex man, you need help, seriously, these are signs of delusions.

Although I&#039;m not officially a pro, I can analyze you:


&lt;i&gt;Iâ€™m not calling you a rambler because I need an excuse to win this argument, because:

1. YOU DO RAMBLE

2. The simple fact of the matter is I already won it, whether you can comprehend, or accept it, is of no significance.&lt;/i&gt;

Even (and I do push the word even) if you have won this debate, going around telling the other guy to shut up because you are the victor is a clear sign of insecurity. And for the last time, I don&#039;t ramble. I talk a lot, but I don&#039;t talk for nothing. I think you simply don&#039;t like to read to much, so whatever is to long for you is rambling.

&lt;i&gt;You clearly didnâ€™t follow my advice. :(&lt;/i&gt;

I answered your question as simply as I could. The only reason you are saying this is because it&#039;s not the answer you wanted to hear.

&lt;i&gt;P.S. If it makes you feel better, your welcome to make a final quip.&lt;/i&gt;

See now this is where the delusion comes in strong. In this phrase, you are stating that your someone important and that you are giving me a privilege to me by allowing me to reply to you. Alex, you&#039;re not important, on the Internet, you&#039;re just another user. What do you do or say will not change anything and if you were to stop visiting (let&#039;s say you get hit by a car), the world and the Internet will keep on turning. So no, I will not stop replying and not, I will not keep my comments to myself and no, I don&#039;t think I&#039;m wrong and you know you what, there&#039;s nothing you can do. On the Internet, you are nothing and can do nothing (well except for flaming, but no one ever dies from being flamed to death).

Hope that clears up a few things for you</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Yes, EA is trying to advertise the game, but who cares? Thre are ads all over this ex. dating ones. (what does that have to do with videogames?) Really, whatâ€™s the problem with them advertising their game? You said in your previous post that itâ€™s because movie-based games usually suck, but thatâ€™s a stupid reason.&lt;/i&gt;

The point, like I&#039;ve been stating since the beginning of this, is that it&#039;s not to the standards of a hardcore gaming website. Plain in simple, is that so hard to understand? You find things like that on IGN, not in places like this. Again, no offense to Spencer, his heart is in the right place, but he&#039;s getting played by EA.

&lt;i&gt;Do you not understand the point of what I was saying? You address my point about *Siliconera ocassionally covering bad games*, by bringing up the potential for a game or movie turning out bad or good. More ramblingâ€¦&lt;/i&gt;

Yes I understand your pointless point, but did you understood what I just said?

&lt;i&gt;This is what proves to me youâ€™re not to smart. As I had REITERATED, the jist of my point was that developers should release their game around the time of the movie, so they make more money. But what do you do, you once again dismiss that, and focus on the stupid hype thingâ€¦AGAIN, why do you sidestep? Wait, I know why, itâ€™s because you said in your first or 2nd post that they could release their movie-based games a year later. Which is stupid move financially, since people usually want the game around the time of the movie release, which is proven by sales, understand grasshopper? Yes, theyâ€™re cashing in the hype of the movie, itâ€™s freakin obvious(oooh, I could say that in one sentence, instead of rambling about McDonalds)&lt;/i&gt;

It&#039;s ironic that you say that I&#039;m not smart because you&#039;re starting to sound like dumbass here man. What you just said is the f#$@ing definition of HYPE. Here, from Wikipedia:

&lt;b&gt;In show business, hyperbole (known as hype or media hype) is the practice of spending money on public relations in an attempt to bolster public interest in (for example) a movie, television show, or performing artist. Often the entertainment value of the thing being hyped is exaggerated. Consequently, hype (but not traditional, literate hyperbole) has a bad connotation.&lt;/b&gt;

&lt;i&gt;Wow. Do you know how stupid a question that is? I proudly buy all kinds of games, including movie-based ones. Why would anyone expect someone to buy just movie-based games, and not other types. I donâ€™t have a large budget, but I sooner or later buy any game I want. OMG, someone can buy both movie-based games and other genre games as well, *gasps*, whatâ€™s the world coming to?&lt;/i&gt;

Then you&#039;re saying that you have the budget to buy every game that you want, told you, it&#039;s one or the other. The average consumer doesn&#039;t have the budget to buy 5 games a month, it&#039;s 2 games a month, 3 if you&#039;re willing to eat Kraft Dinner for a week. So good for you if you have that kind of cash, but people who don&#039;t make 40K a year and have bills to pay will stick with the Zelda, Final Fantasy and Halo. Make sure to put enough gas in your Jaguar before going to GameStop to buy the game version of Ratatouille.

And enough about the &quot;More rambling&quot; statements. I ramble, you&#039;re just looking for excuses not to answer things you don&#039;t understand or that can put you in a bad situation.

&lt;i&gt;Please, keep denying it, keep playing dumb, I donâ€™t care. I beat you again, and youâ€™ll probably say you couldnâ€™t remember me sometime in the future, WHEN I DO IT AGAIN!!&lt;/i&gt;

Oh, so that&#039;s how you say you beat me, buy declaring yourself the victor, now I understand. Say, if I were to live in your world and I would say that I&#039;m a Rocket Scientist that makes 2 Millions a year, will that really happen or will it just be in my little imagination? You can&#039;t pronounce yourself the victor, you need need someone with higher authority or superiority to do so, and that&#039;s not you.

&lt;i&gt;All in all, please tell me A GOOD REASON why Siliconera shouldnâ€™t promote this giveaway, because them advertising the gamesnâ€™t a good one. What is wrong with advertising the game, considering itâ€™s a gaming site.

If you reply, please address the specific points I made, instead of sidestepping them, or going off-topic, as you seem fond of doing. And please, oh please, stop rambling. Thank you.&lt;/i&gt;

I&#039;ll just copy and paste what I previously wrote in this reply: The point, like I&#039;ve been stating since the beginning of this, is that it&#039;s not to the standards of a hardcore gaming website.

		<description>No, I won them by making logical arguments. You clearly don&#039;t know how to do that.  

&quot;Man, by the time weâ€™re done with this topic, youâ€™ll have learned a lot about marketing. When a company gives out freebies to the website or TV Show, they expect them to give them out to the audience, that my friend, is advertising, more precisely, FREE advertising. How does it work? Simple, if EA for example, keeps giving Spencer freebies to give out to us, some members might keep this in mind the next time theyâ€™re at Wal-Mart or GameStop, not knowing what to pick up to blow a few days of boredom. Keep in mind grasshopper, when it comes to business, thereâ€™s no such thing as charity, every move has a purpose. Giving a few games to Spencer is like giving him $5 worth of plastic. In exchange for the publicity heâ€™s making (unintentionally), thatâ€™s like trading 10 apples for a car.&quot;

Yes, EA is trying to advertise the game, but who cares?  Thre are ads all over this ex. dating ones. (what does that have to do with videogames?)  Really, what&#039;s the problem with them advertising their game?  You said in your previous post that it&#039;s because movie-based games usually suck, but that&#039;s a stupid reason.

&quot;Donâ€™t recall any title of the past, but if it helps to clear something out, thereâ€™s a difference between a title that has the potential to be good and a title that never had any. No one expect a license movie game to be good, but we could expect a SquareEnix RPG to be good. If a SquareEnix RPG fails, well thatâ€™s that, it had the potential, but didnâ€™t live up to the hype. Now letâ€™s see whatâ€™s movie is coming soonâ€¦ ah yes, Rush Hour 3. I donâ€™t know if they plan to make a game out of this movie, but I think we can all agree that if they do, it will most likely suck and it probably wonâ€™t have&quot;

Do you not understand the point of what I was saying?  You address my point about *Siliconera ocassionally covering bad games*, by bringing up the potential for a game or movie turning out bad or good.  More rambling...

&quot;Sure sounds like what you said. But regardless if you didnâ€™t mean that, fact is, this is how it works. For the same reason a new game based on the 4th Harry P. movie wouldnâ€™t sale that well if released now, this new game wouldnâ€™t do better next year. IT IS all about the Hype! Why do you think McDonaldâ€™s only releases movies toys before a movie comes out? Because of the Hype. Why does BestBuy displays the Transformers movie game on their promotional HD TVs? Because of the Hype. Hype is the ultimate tool for advertising, it spreads like a super virus and itâ€™s the topic of a lot of discussions&quot;

This is what proves to me you&#039;re not to smart.  As I had REITERATED, the jist of my point was that developers should release their game around the time of the movie, so they make more money.  But what do you do, you once again dismiss that, and focus on the stupid hype thing...AGAIN, why do you sidestep?  Wait,  I know why, it&#039;s because you said in your first or 2nd post that they could release their movie-based games a year later.  Which is stupid move financially, since people usually want the game around the time of the movie release, which is proven by sales, understand grasshopper? Yes, they&#039;re cashing in the hype of the movie, it&#039;s freakin obvious(oooh, I could say that in one sentence, instead of rambling about McDonalds)

&quot;Itâ€™s just that the only other possibility would have been that you only bought these kind of games instead of grade A titles. So which is it?  Do you have the budget to buy every games you want or do you only buy movie and TV licensed games?

Wow. Do you know how stupid a question that is?  I proudly buy all kinds of games, including movie-based ones.  Why would anyone expect someone to buy just movie-based games, and not other types.   I don&#039;t have a large budget, but I sooner or later buy any game I want.  OMG, someone can buy both movie-based games and other genre games as well, *gasps*, what&#039;s the world coming to?

&quot;Yes I do have a bad memory, more precisely, itâ€™s called a Selective Memory. My brain basically flushes out what it find to be of no use (no offense). Some people see this as an inconvenient, I see this as an advantage for 2 reasons:

1- We get distracted by our good memories everyday, even more for people with ADD such as myself. I canâ€™t imagine how annoying it would be to be distracted by useless memories while trying to remove the jumpers of a HardDrive while itâ€™s still in the computer with all the IDE and Power cables still attached.

2- As much as I love debating, I know that it serves me no real purpose, I mean at the end of the day, no cares but me. So ya, I donâ€™t recall if we had debates last month or last week but I do know this, if I were to actually remember you or the discussions we had, what would it say about me. I would sound like a looser who has nothing more important to remember. &quot;

MORE RAMBLING....

&quot;The times that you claim to have â€œbeaten my assâ€ must have been important days for you to remember them but for me,&quot;

Please, keep denying it, keep playing dumb, I don&#039;t care.  I beat you again, and you&#039;ll probably say you couldn&#039;t remember me sometime in the future, WHEN I DO IT AGAIN!! 

All in all, please tell me A GOOD REASON why Siliconera shouldn&#039;t promote this giveaway, because them advertising the gamesn&#039;t a good one.  What is wrong with advertising the game, considering it&#039;s a gaming site.

If you reply, please address the specific points I made, instead of sidestepping them, or going off-topic, as you seem fond of doing.  And please, oh please, stop rambling.  Thank you.</description>

Really, what&#8217;s the problem with them advertising their game?  You said in your previous post that it&#8217;s because movie-based games usually suck, but that&#8217;s a stupid reason.</p>
<p>&#8220;Donâ€™t recall any title of the past, but if it helps to clear something out, thereâ€™s a difference between a title that has the potential to be good and a title that never had any. No one expect a license movie game to be good, but we could expect a SquareEnix RPG to be good. If a SquareEnix RPG fails, well thatâ€™s that, it had the potential, but didnâ€™t live up to the hype. Now letâ€™s see whatâ€™s movie is coming soonâ€¦ ah yes, Rush Hour 3. I donâ€™t know if they plan to make a game out of this movie, but I think we can all agree that if they do, it will most likely suck and it probably wonâ€™t have&#8221;</p>
<p>Do you not understand the point of what I was saying?  You address my point about *Siliconera ocassionally covering bad games*, by bringing up the potential for a game or movie turning out bad or good.  More rambling&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8220;Sure sounds like what you said. But regardless if you didnâ€™t mean that, fact is, this is how it works. For the same reason a new game based on the 4th Harry P. movie wouldnâ€™t sale that well if released now, this new game wouldnâ€™t do better next year. IT IS all about the Hype! Why do you think McDonaldâ€™s only releases movies toys before a movie comes out? Because of the Hype. Why does BestBuy displays the Transformers movie game on their promotional HD TVs? Because of the Hype. Hype is the ultimate tool for advertising, it spreads like a super virus and itâ€™s the topic of a lot of discussions&#8221;</p>
<p>This is what proves to me you&#8217;re not to smart.  As I had REITERATED, the jist of my point was that developers should release their game around the time of the movie, so they make more money.  But what do you do, you once again dismiss that, and focus on the stupid hype thing&#8230;AGAIN, why do you sidestep?  Wait,  I know why, it&#8217;s because you said in your first or 2nd post that they could release their movie-based games a year later.  Which is stupid move financially, since people usually want the game around the time of the movie release, which is proven by sales, understand grasshopper? Yes, they&#8217;re cashing in the hype of the movie, it&#8217;s freakin obvious(oooh, I could say that in one sentence, instead of rambling about McDonalds)</p>
<p>&#8220;Itâ€™s just that the only other possibility would have been that you only bought these kind of games instead of grade A titles. So which is it?  Do you have the budget to buy every games you want or do you only buy movie and TV licensed games?</p>
<p>Wow. Do you know how stupid a question that is?  I proudly buy all kinds of games, including movie-based ones.  Why would anyone expect someone to buy just movie-based games, and not other types.   I don&#8217;t have a large budget, but I sooner or later buy any game I want.  OMG, someone can buy both movie-based games and other genre games as well, *gasps*, what&#8217;s the world coming to?</p>
<p>&#8220;Yes I do have a bad memory, more precisely, itâ€™s called a Selective Memory. My brain basically flushes out what it find to be of no use (no offense). Some people see this as an inconvenient, I see this as an advantage for 2 reasons:</p>
<p>1- We get distracted by our good memories everyday, even more for people with ADD such as myself. I canâ€™t imagine how annoying it would be to be distracted by useless memories while trying to remove the jumpers of a HardDrive while itâ€™s still in the computer with all the IDE and Power cables still attached.</p>
<p>2- As much as I love debating, I know that it serves me no real purpose, I mean at the end of the day, no cares but me. So ya, I donâ€™t recall if we had debates last month or last week but I do know this, if I were to actually remember you or the discussions we had, what would it say about me. I would sound like a looser who has nothing more important to remember. &#8221;</p>
<p>MORE RAMBLING&#8230;.</p>
<p>&#8220;The times that you claim to have â€œbeaten my assâ€ must have been important days for you to remember them but for me,&#8221;</p>
<p>Please, keep denying it, keep playing dumb, I don&#8217;t care.  I beat you again, and you&#8217;ll probably say you couldn&#8217;t remember me sometime in the future, WHEN I DO IT AGAIN!! </p>
<p>All in all, please tell me A GOOD REASON why Siliconera shouldn&#8217;t promote this giveaway, because them advertising the gamesn&#8217;t a good one.  What is wrong with advertising the game, considering it&#8217;s a gaming site.</p>
<p>If you reply, please address the specific points I made, instead of sidestepping them, or going off-topic, as you seem fond of doing.  And please, oh please, stop rambling.  Thank you.</p>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Wow, youâ€™ keep on rambling just for the hell of it, donâ€™t you?

Well, this has been ANOTHER debate in which you have ended up making an ass out of yourself in. And Judging by the other peopleâ€™s post, Iâ€™m sure they agree with me.

proceed with your ramblingâ€¦&lt;/i&gt;


So is this how you claim to have won the other debates? Help me out here, I don&#039;t recall.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;The dude who has beaten your ass in both our debates. You have bad memory&lt;/i&gt;

Yes I do have a bad memory, more precisely, it&#039;s called a Selective Memory. My brain basically flushes out what it find to be of no use (no offense). Some people see this as an inconvenient, I see this as an advantage for 2 reasons: 

1- We get distracted by our good memories everyday, even more for people with ADD such as myself. I can&#039;t imagine how annoying it would be to be distracted by useless memories while trying to remove the jumpers of a HardDrive while it&#039;s still in the computer with all the IDE and Power cables still attached.

2- As much as I love debating, I know that it serves me no real purpose, I mean at the end of the day, no cares but me. So ya, I don&#039;t recall if we had debates last month or last week but I do know this, if I were to actually remember you or the discussions we had, what would it say about me. I would sound like a looser who has nothing more important to remember. 

The times that you claim to have &quot;beaten my ass&quot; must have been important days for you to remember them but for me, it was probably just Sunday or Monday and you were just another Internet user. Speaking of which, refresh my memory, what were these debates about anyway? Also, who arbitrated them and declared you the victor?

&lt;i&gt;Iâ€™m certain Spencer posted this SPECIFICALLY to inform reader about a generous giveaway, whiles at the same time giving us info on the upcoming game.

Like really, I see NO advertisements. Where is the movie, and game release date? Where is the DIRECT link to Harry Potter official website, or EA website. I guess every single game Siliconera posts info about will translate into indirect adverting. &lt;/i&gt;

Man, by the time we&#039;re done with this topic, you&#039;ll have learned a lot about marketing. When a company gives out freebies to the website or TV Show, they expect them to give them out to the audience, that my friend, is advertising, more precisely, FREE advertising. How does it work? Simple, if EA for example, keeps giving Spencer freebies to give out to us, some members might keep this in mind the next time they&#039;re at Wal-Mart or GameStop, not knowing what to pick up to blow a few days of boredom. Keep in mind grasshopper, when it comes to business, there&#039;s no such thing as charity, every move has a purpose. Giving a few games to Spencer is like giving him $5 worth of plastic. In exchange for the publicity he&#039;s making (unintentionally), that&#039;s like trading 10 apples for a car. 

&lt;i&gt;Ok? Uhh, Siliconera has posted info on quite a few crappy games. I donâ€™t know how anyone can expect this site to always magically be able to predict what ends up being a good or great game, and cover it with previews and other info on it.&lt;/i&gt;

Don&#039;t recall any title of the past, but if it helps to clear something out, there&#039;s a difference between a title that has the potential to be good and a title that never had any. No one expect a license movie game to be good, but we could expect a SquareEnix RPG to be good.

I don&#039;t know if they plan to make a game out of this movie, but I think we can all agree that if they do, it will most likely suck and it probably won&#039;t have the real voice actors :P

&lt;i&gt;I never suggested I had a large budget. *sigh* Learn to read plz.&lt;/i&gt;

I&#039;m sorry, I admit, I kind of assumed that one. It&#039;s just that the only other possibility would have been that you only bought these kind of games instead of grade A titles. So which is it? Do you have the budget to buy every games you want or do you only buy movie and TV licensed games? 

&lt;i&gt;You clearly didnâ€™t understand the jist of my point. My point was that developers understandably release their games around the time of the movie, so they can make more money off of it. Why do they make more money off it? Because people interests in these games WILL be higher around when the movie has been released. So no, itâ€™s NOT all about hype, and I never said it was.&lt;/i&gt;

Hmm, let&#039;s see, my memory is not that bad now is it? I&#039;ll quote you just to be sure:

&lt;i&gt;Why would the devs want to release a game a year later after the movie comes out, when all the hypes died down. That would hurt their gameâ€™s salesâ€¦duh, so I donâ€™t understand why anyone would expect them to do such a stupid move. I would PREFER to play the game soon after watching the movie, whiles I still feel excitement towards to the movie.&lt;/i&gt;

Sure sounds like what you said. But regardless if you didn&#039;t mean that, fact is, this is how it works. For the same reason a new game based on the 4th Harry P. movie wouldn&#039;t sale that well if released now, this new game wouldn&#039;t do better next year. IT IS all about the Hype!

&quot;But I doubt that Siliconera would review or advertise this. This is why we have game sites (IGN) which will cover any junk for Mr. everyone and then we have sites like this that will focus on the good stuff. Thatâ€™s what I mean when I say Hardcore.&quot;

Ok? Uhh, Siliconera has posted info on quite a few crappy games.  I don&#039;t know how anyone can expect this site to always magically be able to predict what ends up being a good or great game, and cover it with previews and other info on it.

&quot;Well itâ€™s good to know you have the budget to buy all the games you want. People who are on a budget tend to buy grade A titles. Let me know what you think of the game when you get.&quot;

I never suggested I had a large budget. *sigh* Learn to read plz.

&quot;And the truth will set you free. There, you said it, itâ€™s all about the hype. If this game was to be released a year after, the sales for this rushed game probably wouldnâ€™t have covered the development cost.&quot;

		<description>&lt;i&gt;No one is getting paid to advertise this game, movie or anything. We put it up because EA offered us some copies to giveaway and I thought our readers would like free stuff. I tend to think if Siliconera can give stuff back to our loyal readers itâ€™s a good thing right :). Plus it has a tie in point with another article about the Grim Grimore and Harry Potter being separated at birth which we were going to run last weekâ€¦ (damn just spoiled that! well look for it on Tuesday)&lt;/i&gt;

WHAT? You&#039;re not even getting paid for that? Oh man, that&#039;s even worst. Spencer, you&#039;re giving EA free publicity, you&#039;re too nice :P</description>
