re: Why does most people on this board hate on Nintendo?

are you taking credit for possibly the dumbest name Ive ever seen created to disparage a group?

I'm not taking credit for anything (and I'm certainly not the first to use the term). It's just my thoughts on the matter. I'm also not trying to disparage a group at all really. It's just a matter of a similarity of userbases. A website like TD has mostly males 18-24, which are the largest consumers of PS3 and 360. Games like Battlefield, CoD, and Madden are the most talked about games here, and all of which are most popular on Ps3 and 360. It becomes a cyclical trend where you have a large bias of users whose experience with Nintendo is very limited this generation. This leads to silly hate, albeit justified in many ways, and ignorant posting.

Secondly, other than that ridiculous name, what in the frick does all that even mean?

It's a general reference, speaking of my personal use here, to the type of casual gamer who buys 3 or 4 games a year, very rarely going outside their comfort zone with genres or series. Again, these are your college-aged males who while spend a large amount time gaming, rather do so outside of FPS, MMO, and racing games. I'd typically associate frats with this group.
