[QUOTE=Mister Sandman;49924831]I don't enjoy a lot of intentionally bad, ugly, disgusting and usually oversexualized animation. Y'know, the kind of shit Adult Swim loves. Stuff like this [img]http://i.cdn.turner.com/adultswim/big/img/2014/06/17/king-star-king_tn.jpg[/img] I don't even know why this exists except for it's own sake and maybe the animators can't do animation that isn't disgusting and really just bad, but I don't find it funny or get why anyone would find it funny (like is it supposed to be funny I genuinely don't know), or interesting or, anything but thoroughly unpleasant really it doesn't help that a lot of these shows try to be offensive but missed the memo about being offensive to prove a point or give some kind of message, or to be funny, or, anything, it's just trying to be offensive for the sake of being offensive to stir controversy, which is just fucking garbage attention whoring (no matter how much irony you're doing it with for fuck's sake) that requires no talent but this is the kind of thing that fanboys jump all over and are like no it's ~TRYING~ to be offensive and immature, as if being offensive has some kind of inherent value[/QUOTE] Shit like this is actually entertaining when people are high af, and Mike Lazzo knows that. He doesn't really care much about genuinely smart cartoons (Except for Rick & Morty because it brings in the big $$$).

i don't think tongues are sexy at all i mean im all for french kissing and bjs but i dont think its hot when girls/guys have their tongues out or whatever
I hated Windows 7 and liked Vista
[QUOTE=Adam.GameDev;49926616]I hated Windows 7 and liked Vista[/QUOTE] I still like windows xp. :downs:
I like UAC
[QUOTE=Shortyish;49926416]superjail is really good and pulls off this style very well[/QUOTE] It's amazing how easy Superjail is to understand considering how fast paced it is, King Star King has horrendous storyboarding and each shot is insanely hard to follow because of that.
[QUOTE=Adam.GameDev;49926616]I hated Windows 7 and liked Vista[/QUOTE] Vista was pretty good once patches came out
[QUOTE=Adam.GameDev;49926616]I hated Windows 7 and liked Vista[/QUOTE] I think Vista hate is a bit overblown but this is a strange opinion. 7 is like the logical extension of Vista. I can't think of a single place off the top of my head where Vista->7 was a regression. [editline]13th March 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=thelurker1234;49927217]Vista was pretty good once patches came out[/QUOTE] It wasn't atrocious even before that. Just more annoying than anything.
[QUOTE=thelurker1234;49927217]Vista was pretty good once patches came out[/QUOTE] I liked Millennium Edition more than XP.

I can't think of a single place off the top of my head where Vista->7 was a regression.[/QUOTE] Vista was bad for its time. The overhauled UI was too demanding for many people's PCs. Now that PCs are a lot faster, using Vista isn't that big a deal.
The main problem with Vista was its launch-day crashes, overly intrusive UAC, and the fact that you needed a high-end PC to run Aero, which it advertised heavily.
I believe the Scar is visually ugly
[QUOTE=Daniel Smith;49926803]It's amazing how easy Superjail is to understand considering how fast paced it is, King Star King has horrendous storyboarding and each shot is insanely hard to follow because of that.[/QUOTE] It's because King Star King is focused on straight up psychadelic visuals with a lot of contrasting and saturated colors, and Superjail is instead focused on more surreal imagery and writing
Rockstar games are fun and innovative, but I've never found anything of theirs in the last 6 years to be that well written.
[QUOTE=RaxaHax;49930896]Rockstar games are fun and innovative, but I've never found anything of theirs in the last 6 years to be that well written.[/QUOTE] I've never found any of them to be very well written at all. GTA IV is the best one for story, but it isn't perfect
This is something I presume is demographically an unpopular opinion or at least one can only assume an unpopular opinion among those that produce animation - I would love it if we had some serious, non-comedic western animation. Whether it's a cartoon show or a CGI film. Unfortunately, nobody seems to want to tap in to that except in the odd episode where they stop being lighthearted or comedic just for a little bit. I mean, I think it can work, we have Anime after all, but the only ones I can think of are superhero shows/movies like Batman. Unfortunately Adult Swim, FOX, and Comedy Central who as far as I'm aware are the only ones out there even interested in adult animation, just don't seem interested in it being anything but comedy.

[QUOTE=Starlight 456;49930963]I've never found any of them to be very well written at all. GTA IV is the best one for story, but it isn't perfect[/QUOTE] I feel like the Housers rely far too much on exposition dumps. Too often characters just flat out tell each other their feelings and motivations. I'm frequently reminded of that line from Futurama: [QUOTE]Your lyrics lack subtlety! You can't just have your characters announce how they feel! That makes me feel angry![/QUOTE] It's especially silly in The Lost and Damned, with characters having these long conversations at speaking volume while roaring through the city on motorcycles.

Californication and onwards is the worst of the Red Hot Chili Peppers

the fairtrade organisation is just a fraudulent business entity that doesn't even bother sending money to people in the developing world - it exists solely to sell a label to companies so they can look like they're socially responsible and to assuage the "socially conscious" they are helping to solve a problem by buying fairtrade coffee at starbucks. the reality is that it's a scam and most people don't benefit from it much - if at all

But that's from the pov of an animator. I don't mind the aesthetic, and the shit is really frighteningly consistantly high quality on a technical level. The actual content is more or less just a bunch of animation exercises run together with clever transitions. Yes, clever. Low brow, but imaginative. Like this. [video=youtube;ZBvbNs7WSII]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZBvbNs7WSII[/video] It's all that nasty shit you were talking about, but you'd have to be some sort of fucking idiot to deny this guy's ability on both a technical and conceptual level.

Furries are a mockery of the natural supremacy of the human race over the lesser animal species They are, therefore, sacrilegious and should be punished with the death penalty. To begin with.
I liked Dark Souls 2 more than Dark Souls 1.
