I think the one thing that really holds the MGS series back is the fact that Hideo Kojima is an atrocious writer. He has some really interesting ideas and characters but it's all marred by the fact that everything is delivered in 20 minute exposition dumps

MGS is the best Anime I have ever seen, though to be fair I've never watched any anime other than Pokemon...
[QUOTE=maddogsamurai;48127380]It ain't a complete clone of his own work if he doesn't do the voice of ONE of these cast members. He does like half the cast in both Family Guy and American Dad.[/QUOTE] tbh i can't help but find all the singing parts he gives himself to be kind of show-offy (especially when all of them are extremely forced)
[QUOTE=Zillamaster55;48129965][img]http://facepunch.com/fp/flags/gb.png[/img] What I see when I see this flag: - Brutal oppression of the Irish for 900+ years - Horrendous imperialist practices in Africa, America and Asia - Millions of enslaved peoples - Direct influence to World War One - The vicious treatment from pseudo-governments in the mid east Or, actually, I could look to other parts of the history of the flag. Maybe, idk.[/QUOTE] - The Irish are a myth - Imperialist practices can't be horrendous when they work. - The British sold those slaves to the US. - World war one was entirely the fault of the Serbians, who went on to make one atrocious film. - I agree our strategies sucked. Better just to terrorise terrorism and to enforce freedom, amrite?

Otaku's and those that call themselves weebaoo/homestuck/whatever trash are scum of the Earth.
I'm convinced people exaggerate the bad sides of certain fandoms just so they have an excuse to make fun of them further.
I unironically like Gangnam Style and Gentleman by Psy
[QUOTE=Razormind;48131856]I unironically like Gangnam Style and Gentleman by Psy[/QUOTE] not unpopular
[QUOTE=asteroidrules;48127007]War is absolute Hell, I'm not gonna deny that, but southern secessionists were and are the absolute scum of the earth and people need to just swallow their misplaced pride and accept reality already.[/QUOTE] Would you say the same about Wehrmacht soldiers during WWII? Including those who were forcibly conscripted? Demonization and hatred of the enemy is a very basic propaganda technique which has led to shit like deliberate prisoner executions or torture in times of war. Ironically those who subscribe to this mentality the most are the one who eventually turn into the monsters they feel so righteous about fighting.

[QUOTE=_Axel;48132223]Other than having the enemy threatening to pillage your town?[/QUOTE] Ah, I thought you meant they were drafted or something. But on topic, both sides were kind of assholes. It's just that one side stood for being assholes.
The feeling of intense nausea is worse than pain
[QUOTE=EuSKalduna;48132450]The feeling of intense nausea is worse than pain[/QUOTE] Depends on the pain. I'll take 24 straight hours of uncontrollable nausea over 10 minutes of a ruptured appendix any day
[QUOTE=Razormind;48131856]I unironically like Gangnam Style and Gentleman by Psy[/QUOTE] Gentleman is ok, Gangnam style is good, but I still like Right Now and Champion a lot more. Heck, even his underground rap songs are great. [video=youtube;UpxMQTj4WIE]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UpxMQTj4WIE[/video]
I think GTA's humor can be really, really shitty a lot of the time. The most common one they have being to make everything a euphemism. People say it's not GTA without it, but, making the logo for a bowling alley look like a cock using two bowling balls and a bowling pin is the kind of astounding humor that's perfect for the niche audience of those entering the 5th grade. Don't get me wrong, it's not like I need the most astounding intellectual humor, you could make a fart joke and it could be funny. The problem is that they're [I]not[/I] funny. And then when they try to write more complicated jokes and do satire, a lot of it falls completely flat, is shitty, and just, overall, it really feels like the guys at Rockstar really fucking wish they were Matt Stone and Trey Parker.

[QUOTE=TheWhiteFox1;48131180]tbh i can't help but find all the singing parts he gives himself to be kind of show-offy (especially when all of them are extremely forced)[/QUOTE] He fancies himself to be a modern day Frank Sinatra. And I thought I was an egomaniac. That being said, American Dad is so much better than Family Guy. But I actually prefer newer Family Guy to the older seasons.

[QUOTE=Blazedol;48131978]I could very well be wrong, but I don't think there were many confederates who were forced to join the military.[/QUOTE] The Confederates did have conscription, before the Union even. [url]http://www.civilwarhome.com/conscription.html[/url] [editline]6th July 2015[/editline] While the total numbers of those conscripted on both sodes wasn't the largest, wikipedia had this clarifying point [quote]Although most Civil War soldiers were volunteers, both sides ultimately resorted to conscription. In the absence of exact records, estimates of the percentage of Confederate soldiers who were draftees are about double the 6 per cent of Union soldiers who were conscripts. Some historians have suggested that the threat of conscription may have had a greater effect on raising volunteers than it did in providing large numbers of reliable soldiers.[/quote]
[QUOTE=Blazedol;48133828][sp]Rorschach never raped anybody, The Comedian did[/sp][/QUOTE] [sp]Which he wrote off as a 'moral lapse', partially because of The Comedian's record and because he thinks the original Silk Spectre was a whore.[/sp] [QUOTE=Blazedol;48133828] and yeah he's a sociopath but that's what makes him a better character. He's more complex and better written than batman (but Batman's still pretty fuckin rad)[/QUOTE] He's a hypocrite, his ethics apply when it fits him. Is he an interesting character? Absolutely. But a good character isn't just complexity, it's much more. I can't sympathize with his motivations (except the end because...hell, everyone who's read/seen it knows why) because the character itself behind them is so deeply flawed and so psychotic that I find it hard to really root for him.
Pearl Harbor was a terrible film.
There have been worse users here than milkandcooki, some of whom are still around, and the massive hateboner the general populace has for him is more annoying than he ever was.
I'd rather Bethesda cancel the new DOOM game and pump the money straight back into a Wolfenstein sequel.

The only reason Lamar hasn't been re-perma'd is because Starpluck hates jews as much as he does.
