[QUOTE=greeley;49040063]Sensitivity is a massive reason for hatred (emotional sensitivity that is)[/QUOTE] Ego and emotional instability is the reason for hatred. If we all were of mentally and emotionally sound health, racism, corruption, oppression and all the social ills of the world would go away.
[QUOTE=God's Pimp Hand;49040076]Yes they do. If they didn't then game developers wouldn't invest millions of dollars into developing their games' graphics.[/QUOTE] We have come to point where you can't really make anyone impressed with graphics so it is quite waste. [editline]3rd November 2015[/editline] Actually is physics simulation counted as "graphics", I mean that is always neat to look at.
[QUOTE=JohhnyCarson;49040099]Ego and emotional instability is the reason for hatred. If we all were of mentally and emotionally sound health, racism, corruption, oppression and all the social ills of the world would go away.[/QUOTE] but people that are over-sensitive tend to blow up for the most stupid reasons and completely over exaggerate the situation. For example, a song that says "Your heart is black" and then shit loads of people claim that they are being incredibly racist. Or me calling my mate a "retard" as a joke, which i didn't genuinely mean that he had any type of retardation and he was not offended at all by it, yet i get called a "vile ableist". People need to lighten the fuck up/
[QUOTE=MaximLaHaxim;49039962]PETA is the sorriest excuse for an animal rights organization that the world has ever seen.[/QUOTE] They've been trying so hard to be relevant and one way to do that is through sensationalism.

Laugh at or disagree with this, but you will find it extremely difficult to disprove this notion. Any social ill of society you can name or think of, will have emotional instability at its root or core.
[QUOTE=Creatrick;49039992]Well you are not wrong. They are known to euthanize more animals than any other organization and say that humans are more suitable for drug testing than animals.[/QUOTE] Supposedly they also hired a CONVICTED ARSONIST to go to colleges and teach students how to make firebombs to throw at testing labs. Unacceptable.

[QUOTE=TAU!;49039920]Fury Road is the best Mad Max film so far. Likely one of the best post-apoc films of the past century.[/QUOTE] Mad Max and Mad Max 2 both have better stories IMO. Though Mad Max wasn't a post-apocalypse as the world was still falling apart. That said Fury Road has some FANTASTIC scenery, especially the poisoned marsh where people get around on stilts. Fury Road is like Beyond Thunderdome except instead of turning into Peter Pan half way through it stays good for the whole thing.
I think the PSVita is a pretty cool handheld ...and I thought Transistor was a pretty subpar game.
I would love to see a new Day of Defeat game, especially if it played like Insurgency.
[QUOTE=Creatrick;49040259]Now that's something new I heard about them. Eco-terrorism at its finest.[/QUOTE] I find this hilarious.
MOBA is a dumb term that can mean anything, and should be canned in favour of Action Real Time Strategy or Role Playing Strategy Game or something Like look at the words "First person shooter". That describes it's genre pretty well, meaning you are specifically in first person and you shoot things. That's understandable even if you have no idea what video games are. Meanwhile the criteria for MOBA is: It's Multiplayer It's Online You Battle It's in an Arena (aka a map) You are literally describing 90% of multiplayer games with that term and anything from Quake to the tactics portion of the Total War games to even some turn based strategy games. If you have no idea what the genre is about it can mean anything. It's a dumb term created by Riot to distance themselves from being called a "Dota-like".

idc if they make a term just MOBA is a dumb attempt at one

Seeing as they control like Diablo or Torchlight and have similar systems and UIs. Multiplayer Action RTS would also work for DOTA or LoL but it doesn't fit games like Smite.
[QUOTE=kyle877;49039024]The AWP is literally the worst thing in game design, right next to fucking escort missions. There is nothing, [B]NOTHING[/B] more unfun than having your control ripped from you by some adderall snorting buttlord because he can point-and-click. Fuck the AWP.[/QUOTE]Countering the AWP is all about positioning, game sense, prediction, and use of grenades. Obviously if you bumrush an awper like you would other weapons you'll get rekt with no way to counter it, but CS is all about avoiding situations where you have no counter.

The acronym dota makes much more sense [editline]3rd November 2015[/editline] Its disgusting that a company made a shitty term stick to avoid being compared[/QUOTE] The acronym DOTA (Defense of the Ancients) is an ever shittier name for a genre. It doesn't describe what the genre is like at all. Don't get me wrong, MOBA isn't great but at least it covers the [I]some [/I]of bases it needs to. It's not like RTS or RPG are incredibly descriptive either, but they describe the basics. Unless you mean when people call MOBAs "DOTA-Clones", which while fitting for some is doing many decent MOBA's a disservice. What's wrong with not wanting to be arbitrarily compared to another game simply because it's the same genre? They can still be completely different games despite having similar core mechanics. Calling it a clone would contradict that. I mean FPS games used to always be called Doom-Clones. Is the fact that FPS became a more relevent term "disgusting"? No. FPS as a genre has evolved tremendously since then, and there' countless different types of shooters that are completely different than Doom. Calling them all Doom-Clones would be dumb as shit.
I think you're an idiot if you're concerned with how granular the term MOBA is First person shooters? What if you're playing a first person game where you don't shoot stuff? Oh, that's a role-playing game - you mean a game where you play as somebody? That narrows it down.
I'm still waiting for the day people call MOBAs dotalikes.
I think we should call them "multiplayer QWER-based action right-clickers"
[QUOTE=Yogkog;49038023]Until Dawn and what I've seen of Life is Strange so far (only know up to the end of episode 3) are so much better written and entertaining than Telltale games it's not even funny. TT games (specifically the Walking Dead seasons) are always focused on manipulative "MAXIMUM PATHOS" plot points, while UD and LiS actually know how to make the player feel emotion through choices and meaningful (and real feeling) character development.[/QUOTE] I can appreciate if you don't enjoy WD, but I can't really see how Until Dawn had "meaningful real-feeling" character development. They were all stereotypical horror-trope bratty teenagers. And while that's great entertainment from a B-movie horror love-letter standpoint, I definitely wouldn't praise the game's character development as one of its strong suits. Certainly in comparison to characters like Kenny, Lee, and Clementine, I can't see how you could say that UD's characters are better written.
If a game is called a MOBA it's shit. This is why I am fine with the term. I don't care what it means, but it's a red flag big enough to warn me of potential time wasted.
[QUOTE=Creatrick;49039992]Well you are not wrong. They are known to euthanize more animals than any other organization and say that humans are more suitable for drug testing than animals.[/QUOTE] I'm pretty sure that'd only work on POWs, and even then, the Geneva convention exists. As for my opinion, People eating Tasty Animals should own the PeTA acronym instead of People's "Ethical" Treatment of Animals.
I don't know if I have any unpopular opinions left up my sleeve. Uh, okay, I will always prefer a spicy dish over a regular one. Always. It can be spicy and sweet, spicy and savory, spicy and etc, etc etc, I will eat it. It's almost like my body [I]needs[/I] spicy food in order to function.

1) Until Dawn was a really good game, in my opinion. I'm actually considering calling it one of my favourite games. 2) Butter is the nastiest thing to put on food.
[QUOTE=thelurker1234;49041528]AFAIK spicy foods are addictive in the same way exercising and some not so good addictions are, in that endorphins are released that make you crave more.[/QUOTE] Will I need to go to rehab? Would I have to quit spicy food like cold turkey? I still don't know what exactly that means, but does it apply? I don't want to quit spicy food. To contribute: I really, truly cannot stand some of the old music I used to listen to. Groups and musicians like My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, Coheed and Cambria, and plenty of others. I can't stand listening to that music anymore without looking at the lyrics and thinking "Wow, what the fuck were they thinking when they wrote this?" Some bands, I can still listen to from time to time, but not as often or even as religiously as I used to.
