Gundato: Honestly, pretty much any video game discussion that you are not part of is going to suck. Think about it.

Don't forget epic loot and raiding.

Navagon: They're easily avoided by not playing WoW. It's the only place you're likely to find them, after all.

You're right, one bonus for the MP and SP gamers is that the MMO gamers often are restricted inside their communities and closed sites, because they PAY to be there. Also you don't hear about Second Life anymore, but they are still there.

Best case scenario: We sound like terrorists and/or sopciopaths
Most common case scenario: What is fun to play is not so much fun to talk about.

Don't be too serious about it.
They are just games and that's it with WoW also. Either I like the game or not, there will be communities around the games, and there is nothing wrong on liking or disliking it a bit; just like as everyone has a different taste for music, you'll avoid what you don't like.
Talking about an MMO all day at wrong places / or trolling and doing terrorism against it, is what is wrong.

Navagon: Personally I don't care to find out. I find Fallout fanatics more loathsome than any other gaming fandom. Which is saying something, really.

Oy I resent that remark lol. I'm a Fallout fanatic too, just less rabid than those at NMA and DaC (though I have to admit, I still have a great disdain for FO3, in no less due to having played about 3 hours of it and getting completely annoyed with the "happy wonderland" feel of it and other nuances like combat, as compared to the old FOs)
In any case, I'm hoping New Vegas works out. Also, there's Chris Avellone (hooray!). Well, so yeah, there you have it. Still loathe a first person Fallout though, but if it can retain the same feel from the old Fallouts compared to the one with that number 3, sure why not.
Also, Chris Avellone!

Happy wonderland? Once you get out of the vault there's no suggestion of that. Although I felt they could have done more to increase the sense of suffering of its inhabitants. But then that very same thing could have been too much of a detraction. As for the problems with the combat system, well that's not particularly new. In fact that's one Fallout tradition that Bethesda should perhaps have sought to avoid. After all, Van Buren did.
Well yes that's what I meant when I said happy wonderland - as a contrast to the previous games, it felt more optimistic. No less gory or violent, but everyone still seems more cheerful, perhaps contributed by the facial animations.

You've been talking to Moira Brown, too much. :P
Heh it could be argued that any amount of time with Moira is too much, a conversation with her is like being savagely beaten with optimism. Even the... "alternate version" of her is insanely optimistic

alexisgondor: I wonder if NMA hates its guts already?

Already? They passionately loathed Fallout 3 as soon as bethesda was announced as the developer and long before any footage or description of the gameplay. Trust me they'll have been hating New Vegas for months by now

I am not a man known to have rape fantasies, but when I do, it's of Moira.
Err, which side of the deal are you on? Giving or recieving?

Well Moira was the worst of it, but many NPCs I came across, even the cracko fellow worshipping the bomb, didn't seem very concerned that they were living in a torn apart world. But Moira was the worst. Oh how I wanted to abuse her in all possible ways.
The greatest distinction I felt with regards to the NPCs in FO3 vs FO1 was that they lacked personality. Maybe it's because most dialog in FO1 was text-only. In any case, I thought Killian was a much better sheriff than 'Calamity Jane' lol
I have to add that I never actually got very far into the game - I did the quests in Megaton before I got bored and moved on to something else.
Well moira was a nutjob freak and that was kind of the point. The cult of atom was a religious cult so you can't exactly complain that their members seemed a bit strange, its sort of the point
