It's not wrong to have fun, but it's prudent to be aware of what kind of impression the phrase gives to others on video game forums.


    Why should someone using an innocuous word like 'fun' in a game that's predicated on being fun have to manage the knee-jerk reactions of elitists who assume that if you're a casual player in favour of having fun, then you must be a frivolous nitwit who can't be bothered mashing more than a couple of buttons/keys on their gamepad/keyboard (oops, it's probably not 'prudent' to admit to using a filthy casual controller either)?

    So, if you're only doing "the rest of the game," it's because of your "inability to put together 2 braincells"? Classy. Ever consider that it might be because those people are using some portion of their braincells for things other than gaming? Oh wait, I think I can predict what your response might be:
