No, young man, we adults are still able to sling around the harsh critiques, we just refrain from telling people we don't like, that they're gay, fags, homos and other rather grade school sounding put downs.
Usually the best way to realize you're being slagged off by an adult, is you are required to read a minimum of 5000 words accompanied by charts tables and other supportive dialogue accompanied with links that will send you to supportive evidence. But I understand the attention span of most young people is fairly brief, which is likely why 'you're gay' is normally preferred
Now as for 'idiots' choice, I meant it. Spending a few hundred bucks on a machine, that EVERYONE knows has a 54% break down rate (likely when you are at a critical moment in your game), and is so unreliable that even Microsoft is willing to accept it's worthless by extending a supposedly great warrantee all so they can say 'no problem we'll fix it for you'. That doesn't cut it in the world of proper merchandise. I wouldn't buy a TV under those conditions, nor a stove, or a power tool. I find it alarming that X-Box fans so willingly let MS get away with this all for the love of a few titles made to play on it.
If the PS3 had this reputation, I wouldn't have bought it either.
If you want to see how we adults normally converse though, check out any popular wargaming forums out there, and start talking about Obama or Global Warming
Make sure you have on your thickest hide though. We don't settle for 'you're gay' and leave it at that.
