nah, the carl gustav team was a Venezuelan clan, and i believe that same strategy was used against the bajans, but that was a long time ago and i don't believe the bajans have anything to boast over GATT in BC2.. been a while since i saw any of them online to be honest.. still wanna spar them in UT... steups, lol i got serious lixx sometime ago, never got a rematch lol

Cool story bro.

Get your facts straight b4 u make yourself look like an idiot. Bajans were thoroughly washed, not even by a top squad.

Still have failed to demonstrated that consoles are worthy gaming things. None of us really bothered to do many videos but I dont see why some cant be done for some non-arbitrary or worthless games. Oh yeah, that can definitely be arranged.

But as was said, no need for this pointless debate to continue.

Fanbois treat criticism of favorite brands as threat to self-image

Fanbois treat criticism of favorite brands as threat to self-image

Have you ever found yourself frothing at the fingertips while explaining why someone doesn't deserve to use an iPhone because of their deeply flawed sense of aesthetics? Have you been the type to declare that those who don't use Android are cylons who are under mind control from Cupertino? Or are you Peter Bright, turning up your nose at all of us while you wax on about the unappreciated genius of the Windows 7 Phone?

You may think you're defending your favorite platform because it's just that good. But, according to a recently published study out of the University of Illinois, you may instead be defending yourself because you view criticisms of your favorite brand as a threat to your self image. The study, which will be published in the next issue of the Journal of Consumer Psychology, examines the strength of consumer-brand relationships, concluding that those who have more knowledge of and experience with a brand are more personally impacted by incidents of brand "failure."

The researchers performed two experiments, one on a group of 30 women and another on 170 undergraduate students, in order to see whether the subjects' self esteem was tied to the general ratings of various brands. Those who had high self-brand connections (SBC)—that is, those who follow, research, or simply like a certain brand—were the ones whose self esteem suffered the most when their brands didn't do well or were criticized. Those with low SBC remained virtually unaffected on a personal level.

The residual effect of this is that those with high SBCs tend to discount negative news about their favorite brands, and sometimes even ignore it altogether in favor of happier thoughts.

"Consumers are highly resistant to brand failure to the point that they’re willing to rewrite history," business administration professor and researcher Tiffany Barnett White said in a statement. "It not only explains why so many Toyota customers ignored the negative brand information in the aftermath of the highly publicized recalls, it also accounts for why they’re quick to defend the company and why they would want to re-write history in a more positive way."

The paper notes that its conclusions challenge some assumptions from previous literature on brand connections. It had been assumed that brands are treated more like an interpersonal relationship and that brand loyalty is indicative of relationship strength. Instead, the Illinois researchers believe people treat brands as they treat themselves, leading users to feel more affected by brand failure instead of less.

"Because the brand is seen as a part of the self by virtue of being intimately tied to the self, failure on the part of the brand is experienced as a personal failure," reads the paper.
"Therefore, in an effort to maintain a positive self-view, high SBC individuals react defensively to brand failure by evaluating the brand favorably despite its poor performance.

When you want to justify some piece of shit...just quote some so-called 'study' ent?

Steups...how conveniently we hide behind science when it suits us. :(

Toting feelings is what makes us human.

Just remember though...always be a 'toter', and not a 'totee'. :lol:
