I'll start by saying this isn't directed at anyone who made a valid contribution (Such as Chuck)
What a bunch of elitist R-tards you all are.
Some one rolls in here, and asks about porting a game. For all we know this is some kid, maybe 12-13, maybe he doesn't know what it takes to program/port a game, maybe he's niave, sure, but you can take the time to explain, politely, to this kid that its a long process and if he is really interested he can look into programming(props to chuck for his post) maybe he gets a postive response, some one explains it to him the work involved and maybe he decides to learn programming because he really is passionate about making games.....maybe it sparks his interest and in 15 years he's lead programmer on something huge or maybe he's just a grunt at a game company but is happy with what he's doing.
Or maybe, all the members of our amazing community mock this kid, because he doesn't know. Maybe no one ever told him, maybe he's new to the idea of making games. Oh wait aren't we all born with the information regarding game making ingrained into us as a species, kinda like how salmon know how to return to exactly where they were born to go spawn? Oh wait we aren't.
Hey Axisk, I hope you follow through guy. Look into programming, its a great skill and even if you don't decide to go into game making its a solid thing to have on a resume when you are older.
To the rest of you who mocked this kid, or didn't have the decency to be polite and or helpful.....
Fuck you.
Like a bunch of virgins rushing to some naked broad with her legs spread, you flocked to berate this kid fucking chomping at the bit in hopes to get a few laughs from your fellow degenerate, unhelpful cohorts.
What a Fan-fucking-Tastically supportive community we belong to.
I just hope this post stays up long enough for some of the people involved in this douche-baggery to read.
FateAstray you might be the worst of them all. Not only do you insult him, you imply he is just out of kindergarten. If your not willing to help people, especially those with little to no experience or younger than yourself (how else are they supposed to learn), in a topic where they ask for help no less, then piss off. I hope it made you feel better to belittle a young persons goals and I pray to god that one day when you look for guidance from someone they mock you, so you can feel what its like. I don't care if this is the internet, people are people, treat them with some respect.
