'Course to be honest though I'm only starting this thread as a little...fuck you to the types that send hate mail over incredibly stupid reasons. I'm a very good candidate for hate mail, yet oddly I rarely...very rarely ever get any.
Ignore everything after this line if you don't give a damn!
**********************************************************
A few reasons I might get hate mail -
Animal Rights
Far Leftist
Gay
'Furry'
Socially Inept
And hell, I even almost got banned from a site. (I'm sort of laughing at the moment, given this was the very site lol) Yet, surprisingly, I hardly ever get hate mail, and even odder it's never for any of the stated reasons. Instead it's for...stupider ones.
Given that this is a Starcraft site, I'll contribute my experience, one relatedto that Real Time Strategy we all love to get pwned by Koreans in. ^.^
By The Way, my Right Click to copy and paste doesn't work, sooo...it was fucking hard to post the mail so I expect an applause. And now, for the Hate Mail -
'i read your review on helms deep aero and no offense but u are the most ignorant piece of shit to ever live. Helms deep annatar 10.51 is the most balanced version and it requires the most skills. while aero is just a spin off with very poor design and poor strategy. just because u suck at another map doesn't mean the map itself sucks. maybe u should just grow up and quit your bitching.'
(Luckily for the individual I won't give out their name ^.^)
The entire thing is almost laughable. One argument I always like to bring up, is spelling and punctuation. Sure, I suck at it, but at least I try to get my point around. (My excuse is that I live in a bilingual province, with a family that grew up in french immersion schools) Obviously, I'd be a moron if I was to reticule someone just because they don't always type with punctuation, but I always had this issue with people that write/type badly when they're trying to support an argument.
But, lets throw all the lovely crap aside and see whether the person has a point.
'Helms deep is the most balanced version and it requires the most skills' - Well, that's not a fact, and there's nothing to support this. It's an opinion with absolutely nothing to justify it. Last time I checked, I won Annater on my first try, against 'pro's.' Even after 2 of my team mates left...And I hated the entire experience.
'Requires the most skill.' No, not quite. The Heroes have incredibly high HP, there is no need to strategy, and apparently the version that's very very hard was won by an ignorant piece of shit who was playing against pro's.
I will agree however, that Aero does indeed require little to no strategy. When I play it, it's often with only three people and without that 'money stash' cheat. I prefer Aero because, it's impossible odds without the cheat and only three players. And it's different from most Helms Deep Maps (P.S, I love Poody and V Zergling though!) It is unique, and as they say, Variety is the spice of life.
