He's got a point. I don't care about the consequences. I'm smart and powerful. And I know how to rock! 8) I defend everything Nintendo. My weapons are gamecube controllers and my snesp 8)
Idiot who won't leave me alone wrote:You just cannot stop making up lies can you? they are not believeable. If you had done all the things you claim to have done, you would be beaten to by people and be in big trouble with the law by now.

Also you don't physically smash someones somthing because they verbally offend you. You have no grasp of moral ethics. You either are lieing about everything or oneday oging to be beaten to .
You just dont know when to shut up do you? I bet if I said "I breathe air" you would say, "LIEAR!!! the OMG!!! NO WAAAAYZORZ!!!"

Leave me the hell alone. Please. I didn't do anything to you.

Yes I have been beaten, but I have quite a few friends who helped me out.
And of course I've gotten in trouble. Maybe with teachers, but I lie myself to saftey. "He left his locker open, and I closed it cause his stuff could fall out. I didn't mean to break it. Sucker"

I'm sure atleast one other person has done drastic things to protect the great portables. My brother twisted someones arm cuz someone said that dkap's xbox portable was fake.

Stfu and stop bashing my snesp, flaming, and annoying me.

SS :evil:
Ha ha. Idiot. I didnt bash you're snesp. If you were in England, I could have you in so much legal crap for doing that to a PSP, especially if it was mine...

How is it defending your portable. Did they try to smash you're portable so you smashed their PSP? No, they made fun of yours. That entitles you to MAKE FUN OF THEIR PSP not smash it you idiot. Do you have no ability to compare circumstances in your head? People like you are just show off's and a waste of space. I highly doubt you are such a twat as that would make you popular and you wouldnt have to stoop to gate crashing 13 year old's parties when you say you are older than that. You are sad.

If you did that to my PSP (if I had one), you would be in so much pain you'd wish you were dead. Your crazy, if someone called you ugly you'd likely shoot them.

EDIT: I mean SS, not you sam.

Just remember, those who can't do something teach it. Those who can't teach criticize.

Bashers are just jealous. Sure some of our projects are pointless, but no more pointless than spending 50 grand fixing up an old car.

Well said. These guys only criticize because we're out of their league. Most of them are also "new" gamers, who all went out and picked up an Xbox as their first console; all the classic gaming forums I post at (Chrono Compendium, TerraEarth, etc.) are all very positive; in fact, I'm even building portables for some of them! And even all the hardcore classic emulation nuts acknowledge that an endeavor such as portablizing is honorable and takes at least some level of skill. So I guess I've been pretty lucky; my friends are all very supportive (and some of them have gotten free portables out of it! :lol: ). Not to mention I've made a few new "friends" by showing off my little mods. I can get near ANYTHING at GameStop at a discounted price now!

sam i completely agree with you about shockslayer... that kid is retarded.

He lies on an online forum about stupid stuff trying to act all badass and like a hardguy, when in reality he carries a SNESp around everywhere he goes.

I pointed out how moronic he was in his last thread about crashing the party and 2 posts later the thread was locked by his request.

And now I laugh.

I requested that it be locked because it got out of hand. Jerks like you came in and ruined all the fun. It angers me when jerks like you mess up threads. Now a lot of people had fun, and I'm glad about that. I'm not pointing fingers, :x SAM FISHER :x but you jerks should stay out of threads if it has something to do with what you wouldn't be brave enough to do. *Stops talking to Xiro* *Starts talking to sam fisher* You couldn't crash a car if you tried. If you had to defend your beliefs/portables, you would say "Meh." Some people are wimpy little followers that drag down the group. Like you.
I, on the other hand, am a leader. But any good leader would know who is on your side and who is against you. You are against me. I wish this wern't true.

I don't want to hear anyone else insult me. Please. I joined benheck to make portables, help out, and have some fun. You want the truth?!? You can't handle the truth!!! The truth is, I like exitement and danger and taking risks just to prove myself worthy. I hate jerks that flame, bash and insult other people.

YOU CANNOT PROVE I DIDNT DO WHAT I SAID!
I CURRENTLY HAVE NO METHOD OF PROVING I DID!

*Stops venting*

I couldn't get a video or fulfill my second endeavor due to the following reasons:

I cannot find my sd cards for the camera.
Jack tore up his arm in a biking incident. He rode over something sharp and it popped his tire, causeing him to spin out of control. He had to go to the hospital.
Lauren(gf) came down with the flu.

*Starts up the venting again*

You just couldn't leave me alone now could you? You had to challenge the reality of what I did! I know why too. Because your dull. As a benheck forum member once said, " He who laughs last thinks slowest. " You think very slow. I thought when I closed the topic that I ended it, but noooo. You had to bring it back! You just had to!

Thats a massive post.
Sam fisher was just pointing out that smashing someones PSP is going way too far. He does bash sometimes, but just with words, not a locker door on a poor, fragile PSP.

:evil: :evil: :evil: SS
I already have a GB portable. I got a gameboy, and put batteries in it. And it magically became portable. Also there is no way you have done everything you have done, and exaggerated. As you would be dead by now. I mean, you want to hot glue a hot pocket to someone face. THE HOT GLUE WILL SCAR THEM. You will ruin someones face because you weren't invited to their party because you were too old or something. I mean WTF.

Also as vskid says. I may be bashing you, but atleast im not hot glueing a hot pocket to your face! Or by shutting your SnesP in a locker door. In fact who have assaulted me with word, by your logic I can now smash everything you own.

Ladies, simmer down. This is a valid topic, and I'd like to see people's ACTUAL opinions on it; a locked topic does me no good in that department :wink: ! We all have our own opinions about certain people on the forum, but the bigger man keeps them to himself.

Although I do agree with Sam on some of those points; smashing someone's property is definitely not a good thing; it's pretty much like burning $200 out of their wallet. Mentioning of illegal things on the forum (like emulation) is already frowned upon, but slanderous illegal things takes it a step too far. Although funny, just laugh about it in your head.

Now, back to the ACTUAL topic.

I had an interesting experience the other day. I had an intelligent conversation with a doubter of portablization. He wasn't an emulation nut or anything, (he didn't even know what it was :shock: ) but he was very up to date with consoles and gaming handhelds.

He made some very interesting points that I never thought of before; his main argument was that handheld gaming hardware eventually mimics the hardware of a brethren console: GBC/GG=NES, GBA=SNES, DS=N64. etc.

After that, I gave my argument about a great many games for the mentioned systems that couldn't be played on a Game Boy (CHRONO TRIGGER). Then I talked about the whole nostalgia trip, and the fact that you can't play Gamecube, PS2, or if you're Dave, Xbox on a handheld for a good many years, unless you're a portablizer. By the end of the day, he was complaining about why there hasn't been commercial releases of portables like this! He's even commissioned me to whip him up a Genesis portable.

Which brings up an interesting point; has anyone ever talked with these doubters and converted them? My experience was in real life, and most trolling/bashing goes on in forums, but it would still be cool to know of some success stories.

The irony drips like syrup in this topic.

Yet again you show your maturity and low intelligence in another BRILLIANT post.

I will admit that you were smart to point out both ben's and my own posts, but you decided to take it too far and also BASH ME, which just makes you look like an idiot because you were calling me out for bashing.

i have never converted someone who hated portabilising, but i have shown the light to quite a few people who i directed here and they took a look at marshalls L64, for example, and decided to attemp portables of their own.

The first think people do when they see my L64 is ask "Where'd you get the case?". I patiently describe the process of vacuum-forming but it seems like most people go into a state of denial at this point. They simply refuse to accept that I made the case, for some reason. I mean, it definitely doesn't look professionally made.

I think it's because denial is their only way of justifying their lack of knowledge and skills.

Don't even get me started about the crowd on engadget. The first thing they whine about is "Where's the L button? What about the D-pad?" when they should know only a fraction of games ever used them. Again, it's the only thing about the L64 that they can find trouble with to justify their ignorance.

But we need to be careful around these people - though they are annoying, you can't treat them with hate or anger - that's something they alreayd understand. It's better to smile and say "Have a nice day!"

My first home console was gamecube, yet I played snes and n64 way before I got it. I wanted an n64 and snes.

I support your portables too!
