Ad hominem

Alien Hominid 

Originally a Flash game created by Dan Paladin and Tom Fulp, Alien Hominid debuted on Newgrounds in 2002 and received tons of praise. The following year, one of Dan's superiors at a game developer, John Baez, found out about Alien Hominid and decided it should become a console game.

The console version has completely redone coding and art, it is not the Flash version. The game was released on November 22, 2004 for the PS2 and Gamecube for $30. Both critics and gamers praise it for bringing an exteremely fun, hip, and retro style of gameplay in a market trashed by 3D games striving to have the most-realistic graphics and environments.

When one posts a definition that may be offensive to a specific audience based on nationality, race, gender etc., and then all the posting individual's definitions receive the same amount of dislikes.

Idiots who do Urban Dictionary ad hominem often times do not have sufficient imagination, vocabulary, or sense of humor to post a response.
