  1. That Saints Row 3's developers selected "Holding Out For a Hero" as the backing music for the final mission exemplifies why I love the game.

    1. @ceruleanspark Saint's Row 2> Saint's Row: The Third

      Friday, 31-Aug-12 16:23:30 UTC from web
    2. @ceruleanspark THANK YOU FOR SAYING SAITS ROW 3. Seriously. Seriously.

      Friday, 31-Aug-12 16:24:21 UTC from web
      1. @anarchycarcino It's The Third, not 3.

        Friday, 31-Aug-12 16:25:00 UTC from web
        1. @nixter Saying 'Saints Row the third' every time is about the stupidest thing I've ever heard. It's the third game. Third as in 3. It's Saints Row 3.

          Friday, 31-Aug-12 16:25:53 UTC from web
          1. @anarchycarcino Saint's Row: The Third Saint's Row: The Third Saint's Row: The Third Saint's Row: The Third Saint's Row: The Third Saint's Row: The Third. Seriously, that's it's name, the devs never referred to it ONCE that's it's called Saint's Row 3, The box says Saint's Row: The Third, The devs call it Saint's Row: The Third. It sounds better, too. So it's Saint's Row: The Third.

            1. @nixter Sorry I prefer to not sound like an idiot when I talk about games. It's Saint's Row 3.

              Friday, 31-Aug-12 16:29:30 UTC from web
              1. @anarchycarcino Saint's Row: The Third is it's name, you should address it as such.

                Friday, 31-Aug-12 16:34:44 UTC from web
                1. @nixter I really enjoyed Saints Row 3. I mean I haven't played much of it, I just messed around. Saint's Row 3 is a lot different from the last two, I made my guy purple in Saint's Row 3. Saint's Row 3, Saint's Row 3.

                  Friday, 31-Aug-12 16:36:26 UTC from web
                  1. @anarchycarcino You have no idea how much I'm stressing right now.

                    Friday, 31-Aug-12 16:40:14 UTC from web
                    1. @nixter Saint's Row 3.

                      Friday, 31-Aug-12 16:40:57 UTC from web
                      1. @anarchycarcino Saint's Row: The Third.

                        Friday, 31-Aug-12 16:44:06 UTC from web
                        1. @nixter Saint's Row 3 is almost as good as Kane And Lynch: Dead Men. Saint's Row 3.

                          Friday, 31-Aug-12 16:45:05 UTC from web
                          1. @anarchycarcino I do call it Kane and Lynch: Dead Men.

                            Friday, 31-Aug-12 16:49:08 UTC from web
                            1. @nixter I had to specify, because I didn't want to include the second game. Saint's Row 3.

                              Friday, 31-Aug-12 16:50:13 UTC from web
                              1. @anarchycarcino Oh ahahah, you're so funny.

                                Friday, 31-Aug-12 16:57:28 UTC from web
                                1. @nixter I love talking about Saint's Row 3.

                                  Friday, 31-Aug-12 16:57:58 UTC from web
                                  1. @anarchycarcino Saint's Row 2 is better, in my opinion.

                                    Friday, 31-Aug-12 16:58:55 UTC from web
                                    1. @nixter I won't argue that, but I enjoy talking aobut Saint's Row 3. 2 for later, now it's al about Saint's Row 3.

                                      Friday, 31-Aug-12 16:59:44 UTC from web
                                      1. @anarchycarcino Wait so you mean you do think Saint's Row 2 is better than Saint's Row: The Third or you don't think that it is better?

                                        Friday, 31-Aug-12 17:02:14 UTC from web
                                        1. @nixter Who cares, I'm talking about Saint's Row 3. Because it's Saint's Row 3.

                                          Friday, 31-Aug-12 17:03:27 UTC from web
                                          1. @anarchycarcino Please, PLEASE call it by it's proper name. PLEASE.

                                            Friday, 31-Aug-12 17:05:08 UTC from web
                                            1. @nixter Saint's Row 3, in fact, I think I'll borrow it from a friend later and play it, Saint's Row 3 that is.

                                              Friday, 31-Aug-12 17:05:47 UTC from web
                                              1. @anarchycarcino Saint's Row: The Third was fun at first but then it lost it's charm quickly and then the game became boring, well, that's what I think.

                                                Friday, 31-Aug-12 17:10:02 UTC from web
                                                1. @nixter Saint's Row 3 will occupy my time almost as much as Batman. Because it's Saint's Row 3. Not 2, not 1, Saint's Row 3.

                                                  Friday, 31-Aug-12 17:11:19 UTC from web
                                                  1. @anarchycarcino You're enjoying this so much, aren't you?

                                                    Friday, 31-Aug-12 17:14:06 UTC from web
                                                    1. @nixter Almost as much as Saint's Row 3.

                                                      Friday, 31-Aug-12 17:14:33 UTC from web
                                                    2. @nixter It's Carcino, what did you expect?

                                                      Friday, 31-Aug-12 17:15:19 UTC from MuSTArDroid
                                                      1. @lovetolerateandsquee I expect intelligence.

                                                        Friday, 31-Aug-12 17:15:53 UTC from web
                                                        1. @anarchycarcino It's RDN. Intelligence is possesed only by a select few.

                                                          Friday, 31-Aug-12 17:16:52 UTC from MuSTArDroid
                                                          1. @lovetolerateandsquee How disappointing.

                                                            Friday, 31-Aug-12 17:17:46 UTC from web
                                                      2. @lovetolerateandsquee Well, yeah.

                                                        Friday, 31-Aug-12 17:20:33 UTC from web
                                            2. @nixter Look at it this way: If a person is "Bob Robertson the third," it would be written as "Bob Robertson III." So, like, it's the same damn thing.

                                              Friday, 31-Aug-12 17:06:26 UTC from web
                                              1. @scribus Well you can write "the" and "the" but it has to be pronounced differently depending on the next letter after it. And calling someone "Bob Robertson 3" would sound pretty damn strange.

                                                Friday, 31-Aug-12 17:12:42 UTC from web
                                                1. @nixter Bob Robertson 3: The Revenge.

                                                  Friday, 31-Aug-12 17:13:31 UTC from MuSTArDroid
                                                2. @nixter Bob Robertson 3: the Robertsing

                                                  Friday, 31-Aug-12 17:13:37 UTC from StatusNet Android
                                                  1. @redenchilada Yours was funnier.

                                                    Friday, 31-Aug-12 17:13:55 UTC from MuSTArDroid
            2. @nixter Are you seriously being so stubborn that you can't accept shortening "The Third" to "3" when they have exactly the same meaning in this context?

              Friday, 31-Aug-12 16:29:42 UTC from web
              1. @bitshift I always want things to be correct. Saying Saint's Row 3 makes me twitch, really, it's Saint's Row: The Third and it will always be Saint's Row: The Third.

                Friday, 31-Aug-12 16:33:50 UTC from web
                1. @nixter Which is funny because you can't spell Homestuck. There's no r.

                  Friday, 31-Aug-12 16:34:58 UTC from web
                  1. @thelastgherkin Thank you for telling me that, I'll never make that mistake again.

                    Friday, 31-Aug-12 16:35:58 UTC from web
                2. @nixter So that's a yes? (To "are you so stubborn?", I mean.)

                  Friday, 31-Aug-12 16:35:05 UTC from web
                  1. @bitshift Well yeah I know what I know and I stick by it unless proven otherwise that makes sense. But it's Saint's Row: The Third and there is no proving me wrong on that, so yeah, I'm going to be stubborn about it.

                    Friday, 31-Aug-12 16:38:45 UTC from web
                    1. @nixter Believe it or not, it can still be technically Saint's Row: The Third, without everyone being required to call it that.

                      Friday, 31-Aug-12 16:42:20 UTC from web
                      1. @bitshift NO WAI!!!!

                        Friday, 31-Aug-12 16:43:22 UTC from MuSTArDroid
                      2. @bitshift What exactly do you mean?

                        Friday, 31-Aug-12 16:46:08 UTC from web
                        1. @nixter Despite that being technically it's name, flipping out over people calling it something different is still pretty ridiculous, especially since being the third game in the series, neither name is actually a bad description of it.

                          Friday, 31-Aug-12 16:47:44 UTC from web
                          1. @bitshift But it's it name, that's the thing. I refer to it as the name is given, that that's how it's going to be.

                            Friday, 31-Aug-12 16:53:24 UTC from web
                            1. @nixter I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree, Nicholas Alexander Tessier.

                              Friday, 31-Aug-12 17:02:14 UTC from web
                              1. @bitshift Aren't you formal, using my whole name like that.

                                Friday, 31-Aug-12 17:04:00 UTC from web
                                1. @nixter That's your name. I'm referring to you by your given name instead of something else, like "nixter". I thought you'd approve.

                                  Friday, 31-Aug-12 17:04:42 UTC from web
                                  1. @bitshift I don't have a name from the almighty Bitshift

                                    Friday, 31-Aug-12 17:06:00 UTC from MuSTArDroid
                                  2. @bitshift But nixter is my nickname, and the point of a nickname is so that you can refer to something a different way.

                                    Friday, 31-Aug-12 17:07:18 UTC from web
                                    1. @nixter >"you can refer to something a different way"

                                      Friday, 31-Aug-12 17:08:20 UTC from web
                                      1. @bitshift Yeah but it has to be established somehow.

                                        Friday, 31-Aug-12 17:13:01 UTC from web
                                        1. @nixter It has been established. By large numbers of people choosing to call it that.

                                          Friday, 31-Aug-12 17:14:46 UTC from web
                                          1. @bitshift Not to mention it's just simple *convention* to call the third title in a series "3" as a shorthand regardless of what it's actual name might be.

                                            Friday, 31-Aug-12 17:15:53 UTC from web
                                          2. @bitshift But the thing is Saint's Row: The Third hasn't confirmed that it's a nickname by referring to itself by it, I mean if it truly was the nickname, wouldn't one suspect the devs would even call it that? Well they don't. But say something like what I did, putting my username as nixter, it give headway that it's my nickname and I can be referred to as nixter. McDonalds had an ad that has someone referring to McDonalds as Mickey D's, and since it was the people as McDonalds who put up the ad, it became a nickname, the devs for Saint's Row: The Third however not even ONCE referred to it as Saint's Row 3, thus it's not a nickname.

                                            Friday, 31-Aug-12 17:19:50 UTC from web
                                            1. @nixter So how long do you plan on keeping this mess going

                                              Friday, 31-Aug-12 17:21:09 UTC from StatusNet Android
                                              1. @redenchilada Until I die or get bored or give up or they submit. Or something.

                                            2. @nixter Actually a bunch of guys who work for Volition post on the Reddit Saints Row board and refer to it as SR3 all the time.

                                                    1. @nixter I've messaged him. Now we play the waiting game.

                                                    2. @nixter Also I'd say the fact that the official twitter makes repeated and copious use of the abbreviation: http://twitter.com/SaintsRow

                                                      1. @ceruleanspark HNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNG. Ok, it's fine to say Saint's Row 3, but I'll still always say Saint's Row: The Third, because I can.

                                                          Friday, 31-Aug-12 17:34:35 UTC from web
                                                          1. @ceruleanspark Well it's all good now, say Saint's Row 3 all you want, then.

                                                            Friday, 31-Aug-12 17:36:13 UTC from web
                                            3. @nixter Okay, if you don't consider something a nickname unless it's stated by the person/entity being nicknamed, then I don't think our points of view on the matter can be reconciled. It was a fun argument, but I'm out.

                                              Friday, 31-Aug-12 17:23:11 UTC from web

                                                1. @ceruleanspark If we could embed images fully inline here (which would be a terrible idea, so I'm glad we can't), I would seriously have used that little gif to close out my dash.

                                                  Friday, 31-Aug-12 17:25:23 UTC from web

                                    2. @nixter But yeah, being serious, if it stops you having a heart attack over it, just consider "Saint's Row 3" a nickname for the game, since you've just outright said you have no problems with nicknames.

                                      Friday, 31-Aug-12 17:10:16 UTC from web
                                      1. @bitshift Isn't that what it is anyway?

                                        Friday, 31-Aug-12 17:10:44 UTC from web
                                        1. @toksyuryel Pretty much, yeah.

                                          Friday, 31-Aug-12 17:11:06 UTC from web
                                      2. @bitshift Yeah but the thing is it's not a nickname.

                                        Friday, 31-Aug-12 17:13:29 UTC from web
                                        1. @nixter It's a name lots of people are calling it that's not the technical name. In what way is it not a nickname?

                                          Friday, 31-Aug-12 17:14:10 UTC from web
                    2. @nixter I'm gonna be blunt here and tell you that you're getting upset over nothing.

                      Friday, 31-Aug-12 16:43:43 UTC from web
                      1. @redenchilada It's Saint's Row: The Third, it should therefore be called Saint's Row: The Third. I'm getting upset because I either have some sort of OCD or it's something that just really buggers me.

                        Friday, 31-Aug-12 16:47:01 UTC from web
                        1. @nixter It's your blood pressure, mang.

                          Friday, 31-Aug-12 16:47:21 UTC from web
                        2. @nixter That is by far the stupidest thing I've ever seen someone get upset about. (Or maybe the second-stupidest. Green eyes MAY still be on top.) Congratulations.

                          Friday, 31-Aug-12 16:48:31 UTC from web
                          1. @redenchilada It's not a stupid thing to get upset about, I hate when things are incorrect without fixing the incorrect thing. And the fact that they still say Saint's Row 3 really eats at my internal organs.

                            Friday, 31-Aug-12 16:55:19 UTC from web
                            1. @nixter No, it's stupid. That's like if I got onto everyone who called this place RBDN.

                              Friday, 31-Aug-12 16:56:06 UTC from StatusNet Android
                              1. @redenchilada Who would call this place RBDN? If I ever saw someone call it that, I'd let them know that they're doing it wrong.

                                Friday, 31-Aug-12 16:56:56 UTC from web
                                1. @nixter Um, I do believe that Cabal himself uses it.

                                  1. @scribus Are you serious?

                                    Friday, 31-Aug-12 16:58:30 UTC from web
                                    1. @nixter That depends on your definition of "serious," or how you intend to apply it to me. Titles should be denoted somehow, that is true, but I'm primarily bringing it up to joke with you a bit.

                                      Friday, 31-Aug-12 16:59:32 UTC from web
                                      1. @scribus I mean like Cabal saying RBDN.

                                        Friday, 31-Aug-12 17:01:14 UTC from web
                                        1. @nixter Oh, that. Yeah, I think so. I could be mistaken, but I'm about 80, 85% confident.

                                            1. @nixter I would advise you to take deep breaths, but you may drown on the foam.

                            2. @nixter (psst! Titles should be enclosed in quotation marks. Or maybe italicized. Not sure about the rules for video games, TBH, but it really shouldn't be just hanging out like the rest of the text.)

                              Friday, 31-Aug-12 16:56:23 UTC from web
                              1. @scribus And a quick Goodsearch indicates that video game titles get the same treatment as movies or books, which is underlined when handwritten or italicized when typed. #

                  1. @ceruleanspark There are already horrendous things going on there without my help.

                    1. @thelastgherkin It's particularly weird because it shifts the ones that already HAVE numbers into other numbers, and some of those into numbers that don't exist.

              2. @lovetolerateandsquee I call it CoD:WoW I don't even call it CoD 5. That'd be stupid.

                Friday, 31-Aug-12 16:36:35 UTC from web
                1. @nixter Everyone I know calls it CoD 5.

                    1. @nixter Because they call a game a different name then you do? If I picked friends based on that, I'd have no friends.

                                  1. @lovetolerateandsquee Eh, if you like the franchise. Mainly, my thing is that the villain has "Let's agree to disagree" as a very menacing catchphrase. And now every time I see someone type it, I read it in his voice.
