I can't stand Game Grumps. No matter how many times I watch their stuff, I never laugh.
Half Life and Half Life 2 aren't as amazing as everyone thinks they are. They're great games, but they're fairly standard for their quality. Valve didn't start stepping up their quality until Episode 1 and Portal.
I don't really mind Lo Wang not being a huge racial stereotype in the Shadow Warrior remake. It was funny in the original game, but to me it was barely part of what made the game so great to begin with.

My little sister "cursed" a few days back and my parents got on to her until she started crying. Exactly one day later my dad uses a slurry of swears in front of my sister. I just don't understand this arbitrary rule of swearing at all.[/QUOTE]
The words aren't important. Its the context and tone that matter.
A decent person insults and demeans people without profanity. Ask any teacher or political figure.

goof troop playthrough was fun for me, the rest are incredibly boring at best and somewhat painful at worst.

Game Grumps was the turning point where people thought, "If they could to let's plays, so can I!" and every fucking person in existence made unedited, droning, and boring as hell let's plays of the games they liked. Them and people like PewDie and Tobuscus killed it completely, though the latter 2 much worse, since Game Grumps can get a laugh out of me once in a while. It also brought Egoraptor and JonTron's quality work to a complete halt, since all their time was spent on Game Grumps. I'm glad at least Jon is back, though Arin has only made one Awesome video, and it's horrible for Awesome standards.
Also, I'm not sure if this is unpopular or not, but I detest how people take Egoraptors Sequalitis as god's word. I've seen people saying how Castlevania 4 was subpar or how Mega Man X if fucking amazing just because Egoraptor said so, and how that is the only argument for their opinion.

I love how people are missing what he was actually saying in that video. He said he liked the game but didn't like how they didn't change the level design to accommodate with the new whip controls.

anyone who thinks SC4 is subpar because egoraptor said so is completely missing the point of his video in the first place. he said he really liked the game, the only complaint he had was that the weapons other than the whip weren't useful and had no purpose.
i think he's pretty good at backing up his opinions, though. nothing he's said in sequelitis is unreasonable.

Speaking of Megaman. I think its easily one of the most overrated game series out there.
Of course, Im the only person who seems to believe an inevitable degrade in quality when a game uses the exact same formula and gimmicks over and over again.
Its why I dont really like Nintendo games. Or never ending game series in general. Theres nothing inherently wrong with the games, they've just been done to death.
I thought all the Star-Wars films were boring when I first watched them. Figured I'd like them more as I got older. Still trying occasionally to this day just think they're rubbish now. Same goes for Star-trek, including the new films. Never understood the hype
[QUOTE=Fapplejack;42310016]Also, Suzy is top fucking tier Caravan Palace, but I have to concede I got into them because of that one video Pyrous. I don't feel like linking it because I'm guessing anyone interested has already seen it[/QUOTE]
I actually got into them because I was introduced to their songs by a friend. I never heard Bambous until recently in the Ricescribble video. Thought it was fairly subpar compared to their other stuff.

Hi lets yell at everyone for being bad even though I'm bad msyelf
I hate almost everything about Halo 4, and I believe that "343 Industries" completely ruined the game.
I haven't found anyone in person that agrees with me.
Also I loved Halo: Reach, and of course everyone hates that.

You'd be great friends with Skyward.
I think promiscuity is a bad thing and I hate how people are constantly trying to dress with as little clothing as possible ( and it isn't just girls, with dudes going as far to just no wear any shirts)
I find that a lot of people are immature when it comes to reacting to someone who did something illegal/inconsiderate/harmful to others.
There's always the group of people who wish harm upon the person who did that illegal/harmful action.
Just because someone did something wrong it doesn't mean you're entitled to treat them like shit.
Look at young children/some adults, and how they react when someone wrongs them or someone else. They use that to justify their own sick behavior. But the person who originally committed the crime or whatever it was had their own justification to do it. So how are you any different?
You're not. So if you have that ill will, that hate towards the person who did something wrong, you actually harbor anger, bitterness and ill will towards yourself.
For example, would you cause suffering to a person who raped and/or killed people? Because it's that same exact lack of respect and love for human beings that allowed that person to rape and/or kill.

Halo: Reach is in my top 10 games of all time and I hate Halo 4, 343 fucked it up and are going to do the same with the sequels. I didn't think this was too much of an unpopular opinion, it's certainly mine and most of my Halo playing friend's.
[QUOTE=urbanmonkey;42184203]Fall is the worst season[/QUOTE]
It's the best season by far.
Money is my least favourite song from DSOTM
I find a lot of instrumental electronic music much more emotional and soulful than "real music" that attempts to invoke emotion. I really have a hard time trying to feel emotion when someone else is singing their story or whatever, but when I listen to something like Burial's Untrue LP it's like a blank canvas to cast your own stories and feelings upon.
But then again I don't like a lot of "real music" and can't stand 9/10 of rock/alternative/whatever.
Half Life 2 was a disappointing game, a weak attempt at rehashing what made Half Life great.
Matrix 2 and 3 are brilliant movies.
Stargate and Stargate: Atlantis are the better Star Trek.
The only good Mass Effect game was Mass Effect. Even more than HL2, ME2 was a weak attempt at rehashing what made Mass Effect great.
I find Touhou a difficult fanbase to get into, the games are hard as hell, even on easy (only played Imperishable Night), the fandom makes it out to be all awesome with all the [sp]fetishy[/sp] art, fanimes and memes, but when you get into it....it's just a curtain shooter, i can't even fathom how to even survive perfectly to unlock spellcards on bosses and died to some fairy enemy in some hallway after....the witch? and god, the game's Universe is hard to even know about since the creator said not to leak stuff like endings in stuff like Wikis, making the plot hard to follow....even TVtropes doesn't have plot summaries....
Same thing goes with Guitar Hero, but that's because there's 5 buttons, a bar and a metal thing, i need the damn thumb just to hold the thing up, i just don't have the motor skills to actually do it fast and hold rhythm at the same time.
I like FF6 more than 5, 4 and even 7, but i'd rank 8 on the same level as 6 just because they're easy/good games that i actually played before the others; 5 gets by because of the class system whilst i gave up on 4 just because the moon is hard as hell and 7 at Wutai just because i missed Titan at some Junkyard, thinking it was one of those good/bad choices like the nest, plus it struck that polygon ceiling pretty hard....and the random translation errors was just atrocious...like that mech boss..
I cannot get into fighting games, even with games with plot, i do not know why the playable fighters in Street Fighter even fight each over at all, i am only aware of the ones from that one SNES game...world warriors (?) and possibly some breakout characters like Rose and Juri....all that i know is that M Bison (Dictator) is evil in some way..
Microsoft's interest in the Steam Machines is actually a good thing
-snip-
Whilst i'd still never watch any of her shows; I respect Miley Cyrus more for going off the rails than i did when she was on them.
I think the Steam controller has a lot of potential
I think that Halo : Reach was better than Halo 3.
I'd fucking love to have a Steam controller
I find Maplestory somewhat enjoyable for a free to play game.
Heavy Metal or really any kind of "heavy" rock is terrible. It is the only genre I don't like at all.
