[QUOTE=Sector 7;49558441]everybody wants to look as sexually attractive as they can, and then they get mad when people are portrayed as being sexually attractive I don't get it[/QUOTE] Insecurities.
[QUOTE=phygon;49562749]Insecurities.[/QUOTE] Well, I don't know if I'd go as far as to say it's all insecurities. Sure, there's a lot of people out there that try to devalue Anna Kendrick's worth by how she looks and [url=http://thebiggestproblemintheuniverse.com/episode-42/]it's a special kind of irony that needs to die[/url], but as I mentioned a few pages back there's a lot of people that I think are absolutely gorgeous that a common person wouldn't find attractive. I find that troubling. I totally buy into the idea that we have standards of beauty pushed onto us along with a lot of other social norms and it's bothersome to me. I have friends that I thought was super gorgeous that cannot stand how they look, as if they've got some flaw that they cannot fix even though I see no flaws to begin with. Combined with the fact that people use sexual appearance in place of personality, it's another way of playing it safe. You know you can please a lot of dudes by accentuating a character's tits, so forget about her personality. You don't need to do that. And you can please a lot of people by making her fit the specific norms of beauty, so you don't need to come up with something unique. Again, it takes a lot of work to make someone give a shit about a character that doesn't fit within specific standards, and so they don't do it. It's laziness. Even if you're not a feminist or whatever, I don't know why anyone wouldn't opt in for better characters you'd want to relate to instead of [url=http://metalgear.wikia.com/wiki/Quiet]cowardly perverts[/url], or opt in for people just being flat out honest with their perversions. (Seriously, if they just want to have a naked woman they should just come out and say it. No one gives a shit about this convoluted backstory of why she has to wear less clothing and never speak.) I really want one or the other. Make a game that is intentionally perverse and extreme, or make a game with character's stories worth telling.

JSA (Job Seekers Allowance) should be completely revised and fixed so that you need actual PROOF that you've been to an interview.
[QUOTE=greeley;49563338]JSA (Job Seekers Allowance) should be completely revised and fixed so that you need actual PROOF that you've been to an interview.[/QUOTE] I can see where your coming from and it certainly has issues that need be fixed, but what evidence can you get that you've been to an interview? Get a note signed by an interviewer? That'd kill any hope of getting hired as you'd basically be saying "yeah am only here to get paid. I don't really care about this job" regardless of what you actually think.

Say theres an official form for JSA that they need to take from the interview that every workplace should have (well.... every work place that has the that the simple interviewing process (Construction, retail, factory work etc...)) and that should be signed by the interviewer to say they went to the interview. Or a possible online form which is A LOT easier. They should follow up with a "call for concern" if it didn't go well. Where that if the interviewer believes that they clearly do not want a job there and purposely failed the interview process. Then they report it to the JSA advisors and have the right to withhold payment. [editline]19th January 2016[/editline] There has been way too many people out there that are on JSA that do fuck all just to get money. When i was on it, i actually seeked frantically for a job. And i was scared that when i got my first JSA meeting that i only had 4 interviews and no call back. And when i went, the woman actually said "You don't need to try so hard next time" and that whole process took about 10 minutes if that.

AoE3 was miles better than AoE2 and is tragically underrated
AoE2 is garbage by modern standards and lacks a lot of stuff that makes later RTSes actually playable.
[QUOTE=wauterboi;49557164]My facial hair grows out fast but with a missing patch on my chin. It's really annoying, and I'd rather be able to grow out a full-on lighthouse-attendant beard or none at all.[/QUOTE] Are you me? I'm growing facial hair at an alarming rate, but I have a bald spot on my chin that never grows. It's like a dead patch of grass, except on your face.
[QUOTE=maddogsamurai;49565695]Are you me? I'm growing facial hair at an alarming rate, but I have a bald spot on my chin that never grows.

And then it dawned on me: I was merely the dead husk of the man I once was. A much sexier, happier, dead husk.
[QUOTE=Sector 7;49565432]AoE3 was miles better than AoE2 and is tragically underrated[/QUOTE] Oh man this. I mean the main campaign in AoE3 was dodgy (the fountain of youth shit), but otherwise the core game and many other aspects (such as music) was improved upon in every way. The ability to decorate the home city and customize your civilization was a nice touch too. AoE2 largely has its supporters because of nostalgia more than anything else - in most aspects it differs little from AoE1 and going back to it feels crap a lot of the time when you have the third game available.

I'd hold it up as an example of game that is just so outdated in so many ways that the flaws bury the good. AI is pretty bad (both when it comes to your enemy and pathfinding), and the interface is incredibly primitive and non-intuitive. Most modern RTS game interfaces make it so easy to get things done. I won't talk shit about the graphics though because they are kind of charming tbh, they're old ofc but I wouldn't quite say they've aged badly. It's a shame the remake didn't really remedy any of this. I feel this way about baldur's gate too, it's another great game that's rendered pretty inaccessible by its flaws. Sure, could force myself to get used to the flaws, but it doesn't really seem like it'd be worth it.

Honestly, Trumps entire candidacy feels like a bad joke that has overstayed its welcome. I can't believe that we, as a country, are pondering the idea of a man who wants to ban Muslims being president.
[QUOTE=UnidentifiedFlyingTard;49565292]I don't remember videogamedunky being a crybaby.[/QUOTE] he made a whole video whining about league because he got banned
Cool, that doesn't make him a crybaby. If he made several videos about it and still bitches about it then I would agree.
Winter is better than summer. [QUOTE=Wriok;49565411]but the crusaders were also liberating the christians and jews that were made slaves by the muslims who took over the lands[/QUOTE] That has literally nothing to do with your claim that if not for the crusades Islam would have taken over Europe. Also the crusaders hardly treated the Jews well, they weren't even remotely liberators. Oh, and there's that whole thing with the 4th crusade where the crusaders, you know, sacked one of the most important cities in Christendom, greatly weakened what was left of the Byzantine empire, and help open the gateway for Turkish expansion into the Balkans.

Kind of like a routine thing, if you do something enough, it becomes natural.
NASCAR sure gets a lot of bad rap. It's like at this point, you have the overwhelming majority of people going "hurr rednecks hurr turn wheel left 4 times" and the actual rednecks going "they sure gone and ruined nascar with them regulations and sponsorships 'n' stuff" Just a casual observation. The sport just seems kinda dead to me for some reason, shame I just kind of started getting into it.
[QUOTE=UnidentifiedFlyingTard;49568660]Cool, that doesn't make him a crybaby. If he made several videos about it and still bitches about it then I would agree.[/QUOTE] Actually he's made jokes about it. In his one of his Mario videos after he got a bullshit death he went "...I'm done making videos about Super Mario Brothers 2." aside from that if you think it was just because he got banned, it wasn't and I don't know why everyone puts all the focus on that instead of everything else he put in that video, the ban was probably the least important thing. The primary thing was that he was just fucking bored out of his mind with the game, and he was only making videos for it at that point because he knew his fans wanted it. He didn't like the amount of problems with the game, he didn't like that nobody was engaged in it anymore, he didn't like that if it got to a point where it was starting to be taken serious (rarely) that his friends would get in to arguments, he didn't like that most of the rest of the time everyone was so disengaged with the game they'd just alt tab out in the middle of matches and it served mostly as a backdrop to talk to your friends over, and so on. Those are all really good reasons to stop playing the game (and the important ones), but everyone wants to make it about the ban because I guess they have a shit attention span or can't wait to put Dunkey on a crucifix for being ~tOxIc~ like they never talked shit in a game because the internet thrives on drama
