Unpopular Opinions V5: "I still don't like Half Life 2." - General

[QUOTE=Mister Sandman;49477067]I don't really know what I expected, but Monster Musume is not as great in my opinion as everyone seems to think it is. I gave it a watch after people went fucking bananas over it and it's just a generic harem anime about a generic young man very pointedly not having sex with a selection of eager women, but with monster butts. It's, yeah, it's not for me. I don't really get how it's for anyone. I mean not that it's all that bad or whatever but I just wonder, who is in to this stuff, and [I]why?[/I] Why would you make it? Yeah, tits, but, I mean, porn exists, so, why not just make or watch porn?[/QUOTE] It is cute, you are not supposed to wank to it, if something has tits it doesn't mean you have to wank to it.

[QUOTE=Combine 177;49477123]if something has tits it doesn't mean you have to wank to it.[/QUOTE] is that a challange

[QUOTE=Agent 47;49477510]is that a challange[/QUOTE] No, because you can even wank at white wall if you put your mind to it.

[QUOTE=Combine 177;49477557]No, because you can even wank at white wall if you put your mind to it.[/QUOTE] is the wall white before or after

Kylo Ren, at least for the time being, is such a boring and two-dimensional character. I liked The Force Awakens, it was good, but lots of SW fans keep acting like Kylo Ren is this super badass just because he can do cool things. He is a big baby with a lightsaber.

Couldn't take Kylo seriously at all after I found out what he looked like.

That's why I love him, he's a fucking bitch who will never get to be his idol.

[QUOTE=Luxuria;49477702]Couldn't take Kylo seriously at all after I found out what he looked like.[/QUOTE] A villain doesn't necessarily have to be hideous and scarred. But, he doesn't exactly look intimidating either, so I guess that's what you were referring to. [editline]7th January 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=bdd458;49477709]That's why I love him, he's a fucking bitch who will never get to be his idol.[/QUOTE] That's an interesting way of looking at it, actually.

[QUOTE=TAU!;49477743] That's an interesting way of looking at it, actually.[/QUOTE] [sp]That is the way to look at it, Rey even says to him "You'll never be like Vader", or something to that effect. He's a half-trained brat with daddy issues, a deconstruction of Vader. Instead of him being this respected, calm and controlling figure, he has no control over himself and nobody respects him. It's absolutely fantastic[/sp]

[QUOTE=TAU!;49477743] That's an interesting way of looking at it, actually.[/QUOTE] I'm pretty sure that that's actually the entire point of his character. [sp]Kylo desperately wants to be the kind of evil badass that Vader was, but he isn't. He tries his hardest to be this cool intimidating badass but he always fails and it shows in subtle ways. People get to him easily, and he throws fits when he doesn't get his way. Vader would choke you for your failure, not because he's angry so much as because you failed him, but Kylo will just get pissy and smash stuff, and it creates this air that he's just juvenile. You get the sense that people don't respect him. Even soldiers who experience his company in depth, like the two patrolling guards who witness his shitfit, are just like they're stuck with this spoiled kid but they can't do anything about it. It even goes in to his costume. Vader wore the suit because he needed it. Kylo wears his mask and modulates his voice so he can be scary like Vader, but it just clashes because underneath the mask he's still a whiny kid. Vader struggled because his actions were dark but he wanted to be good deep down. Kylo struggles because he wants to be dark but isn't, and he doesn't fit in to that mold. He manifests his self doubt and anger that he's not this super cool badass on Han, and he does that thing that happened not for any practical or solid reason but because he has it in his head that if he can do that, then he can truly be the evil badass he wants to be. He's just an insecure wanna-be kid being manipulated, thoroughly in denial of that fact. I think it's the whole point. He wants to be Vader, but he's just a wanna-be, and the fact that he's a wanna-be badass prevents him from ever being badass.[/sp] In a way, it mirrors real life. Like imagine if you were making this new Star Wars movie that's supposed to live up to the original trilogy and you have to create a villain that can stand shoulder to shoulder with the most iconic villain in any movie [I]ever.[/I] A character that is thoroughly ingrained in our culture and in the nostalgic minds of everyone who grew up with those movies. You can't do it. So they don't try. Instead, they do their own thing, with someone who tries. :v:

i've noticed some bernie sanders supporters are becoming like the republican ones 'Guys, (opponent canidate) did this! (blogspot link) They are becoming the people they made fun of, for linking websites which are not verified sources.

crusaders > muslims

[QUOTE=Wriok;49478499]crusaders > muslims[/QUOTE] Yeah murder!

kylo ren was the most interesting character in the movie specifically because he's [I]not[/I] an unstoppable, evil badass he's a bratty wimp

[QUOTE=Wriok;49478499]crusaders > muslims[/QUOTE] Honestly, committing mass murder against a people who would had as well made arrangments for Christians to be allowed to visit the Holy Land in accordance to their religion sounds like a bloody waste to me

[QUOTE=Wriok;49478499]crusaders > muslims[/QUOTE] are we talking about medieval 2 total war? I always tried to assassinate the pope, I'm not going on his shitty crusades every 5 turns

[QUOTE=EliaMoroes;49478544]Honestly, committing mass murder against a people who would had as well made arrangments for Christians to be allowed to visit the Holy Land in accordance to their religion sounds like a bloody waste to me[/QUOTE] Seljuks were kinda dicks.

[QUOTE=EliaMoroes;49478544]Honestly, committing mass murder against a people who would had as well made arrangments for Christians to be allowed to visit the Holy Land in accordance to their religion sounds like a bloody waste to me[/QUOTE] then again when you consider it, crusades were a series of punitive expeditions (most of which failed) into a region which was held by christians for about two centuries at most. the moslems by contrast had conquered half of the christian world and began to steadily oppress them more as time went on.

[QUOTE=Rangergxi;49478558]Seljuks were kinda dicks.[/QUOTE] There were multiple Seljuq dynasties at the time. Understand that the most aggressive rulers over Jerusalem were not the Seljuq Turks but instead the Fatimids, who also burned the Church of the Holy Sepulcher.

While I can see a lot of things that can go wrong, augmented reality has potential to be much cooler than VR.

Personally I find using a touchpad just fine. I'm pretty sure I'm the only one at college actually using one. A few years ago I was actually able to play Minecraft on my old Dell laptop with just the damn touchpad. :v:

Taco Bell isn't bad.

[QUOTE=wauterboi;49479439]Taco Bell isn't bad.[/QUOTE] From what I heard from the yanks I play with it's not so much that taco bell is bad food, rather that it's bad [B]mexican[/B] food. I don't even care though, there's no cheap burrito places around here so fucking bring that shit over.

Maddox is increasingly unfunny

[QUOTE=RichyZ;49480339]The worst shit ever is when someone says some shit like "you do know Taco Bell isn't real mexican food right..."[/QUOTE] And then they proceed to dine at Chipotle Mexican Grill thinking that's what Mexican food really is.

[QUOTE=Zillamaster55;49480331]Maddox is increasingly unfunny[/QUOTE] unpopular opinion, Maddox was never funny.

I'm not sure if this is an unpopular opinion around here, but almost everywhere on the internet I see people bashing it, so I'll post here anyway: I really like the scene on Spider-Man 3 where Peter Parker goes into [URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zOtpeYERu9w&t=0m39s"]a little dance[/URL] after walking out of a store with a brand new suit. It just felt so silly, I couldn't help but love it. The other dance scene on the restaurant was still rubbish, though. That's why I'm not linking to it. I use my hyperlinks sparingly.

I have no idea why Europeans are so keen on permitting immigration.
