-> ''Can you imagine if you stumbled onto some painting message board where people were debating whether oils or acrylics were better, and the debate consisted of people listing off the chemical compositions of the two paints, and the people on the oil side were saying things like acrylics dry too fast and don't have the Blast Blending of oils, and acrylics don't hold as much pigment as oils, and because the chemical makeup of acrylics is incompatible with the alizarin pigment you only see real alizarin crimson in oils, and acrylics aren't really a paint but a drawing instrument in disguise, and because you can put oil on top of acrylics but not the other way around it's like Chemistry itself says oils come out on top? Can you imagine if the oil people said adding mediums to acrylics is "cheating"? And can you imagine if this had been going on for twenty fucking years?

Actually, with the Internet being what it is that argument probably exists somewhere out there, but please feel no need to inform me if it you know where it's happening. I'm depressed enough as it is.

Oh, and I dare anybody to come and tell me that analogy is irrelevant because I'm talking about art mediums, not gaming consoles.''
