usually the same people who think Zelda III was some kind of masterpiece while ragging on part II (the real masterpiece) for trying something different (snerds can't handle change).
Haha, so true.

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).

Snerd (snûrd)
n. Slang
(from the latin roots SNES and NERD)

1. A person who believes the SNES was the pinnacle of gaming, usually the same people who think Zelda III was some kind of masterpiece while ragging on part II (the real masterpiece) for trying something different (snerds can't handle change).  Also the same people who are excited about paying Nintendo ridiculous amounts of money for ROMs of shitty games on the Wii.

2. Someone who could be seen during the Gamecube days talking about how "connectivity" was a great idea.  Also known to use the battle cry "QUALITY OVER QUANTITY!" (which originated during the bleak N64 software drought of 1996-2000).  Snerds also LOVE gimmicks, love them.

3. Can be applied to any Nintendo fan who is a totally retarded fatso (basically 90% of them) and says stupid things like "Halo is overrated trash", "graphics don't make the game!" (usually followed by calling someone a "graphics whore"), "Nintendo is about fun!!", "Nintendo cares about the gamer!", or other maximum stupid things along those lines.

Ha ha, that's an excellent list. It applies to pretty much everybody on a different forum I visit. Damn, that list got it all covered, even down to the Halo remark! Spot-on! :mrgreen:

Hmm, according to Urban Dictionary, it means something else. Perhaps this list should be added to that site?

With the exception of 'snes is the pinnacle of gaming' and the retarded references, that's me spot on. Are we all that much alike? it kinda disturbs me.
