Slenderman was ruined by the sudden influx of indie games where you run around and collect papers from forests and buildings while trying not to get caught by him. It was better when the mythos was nothing but ARGs and cryptic video series.

Oh, and almost all of the Slenderman games are exactly the fucking same. how do i originality kek
I'm ready to accept the possibility that North korea realy is a socialist utopia. All the bad things we hear about it are realy just capitalist lies from people who's positions would become in jeopardy if we knew socialism could work better than capitalism?
Of course. It could be true.

everything post early Marblehornets really ran it into the ground. Particularly Slender.
I think consoles are better than PC.

Doge was never even remotely funny. It was one of those memes that started out being unfunny and annoying and only got worse from there.
[QUOTE=BuddyTheUser;43366117]Hatsune Miku makes my ears bleed.[/QUOTE]
How vocaloids sound is really dependent on how much work the person making the song puts into it as well as how experienced they are with the software. The default sound for most vocaloids is absolutely atrocious. Though the new series is at least better. I'd link a good comparison of the default sound for a song then the same song with someone actually putting effort into how it sounds but it seems the video has been removed from Youtube.
Keep in mind though, I'm not saying you're outright wrong to think that. Just saying you should keep in mind that it has a lot to do with effort. I like vocaloids quite a bit now but when I first came across them I thought they sounded outright awful.
I'll link a couple better ones in case you're actually curious though.

Also another thing to keep in mind is that even with fans of vocaloid Miku is often considered to be one of the worse sounding ones.

I don't understand how people harp on call of duty for being the same thing every year and then go play Pokemon
[/QUOTE]
Do I need to copy paste a huge list of changes
and pokemon really shouldn't change much at all since it has a pretty sizeable group of competitive players, what is starcraft 2 decided to make it a turn-based strategy game? The community would lose it. The pokemon developers at least try to change things up where they can, but if they did something major like make it real time people would get pissed.
Although I agree with most of your post, except the pacific rim thing, cause I have no idea because I don't watch many movies, but I did love pacific rim even though the story is kind of dumb. It's more just GIANT ROBOTS DESTROYING ALIENS FUCK YES THIS IS GREAT.

What I wonder is why non-vocaloid electronic music seems to love putting her as the background in their videos, it's like lil wayne just showing pictures of eminem in his music videos.
The only good Subforums on this site are Fast Threads and General Games Discussion.
Everything else is shit. GD is a ghost town more often then not populated with all kinds of weird little subgroups and communities. SH should just be renamed shitstorm because that is all it is; one massive circlejerk where betraying the popular opinion gets you fucked. SH is probably the second worse sub, only to Rust. The Videos subforum isn't far behind it. It always turns into flamewars with ridiculous, 20 page threads just debating about gender equality or transgendered people or really [I]fucking anything[/I] because of one shitty video.
Minecraft is shit. It never deserved its own sub in the first place and only got it because the fanbse kept spamming all kinds of Minecraft related threads in the GGD. Now that the userbase has shrunk and the game has fallen out of favor, maybe it is time to re-integrate? I don't know, but it is basically one of those "concentration camp" subs (like the old Furry sub) to herd away people the other people don't really like. Games in progress isn't used as much as it should be and for the longest time was only Minecraft servers. Then of course there is Rust. Good fucking God Rust. We needn't speak of it, let us pretend it does not exist like ye olden days.
Creationism Corner isn't so bad. MsPaint is shit, filled with bad interactives and "draw your" style stuff. It is a shadow of what it used to be. Nothing ever comes close to the quality of the olden days. The other parts of CC seem fine enough, but aren't really populated to warrant visitation. The Photoshop sub is pretty glorious though, for a quick laugh.
Haven't been on Garry's Mod subs in a while. They were pretty shite for a long time and mostly consisted of people putting up artsy-fartsy images of the same brown modern military screenshot that every poser seems to think is great. I don't know if that has changed, and quite frankly early impressions were bad enough that I will probably never visit again to find out.
Valve subs seemed to have a lot of circlejerk back when I went to them. Now I hardly visit them because Valve haven't released anything noteworthy to me (some people are hype for DOTA 2 but I think MOBAs are shit so I never visit) and it never got much activity. Quite frankly, anything out of Facepunch and Games never gets too much traffic.
There's a bit more but quite frankly I am spent. I never visited any other Hobby sub besides movies and it was mostly just a massive circljerk about indie films with the core threads about upcoming stuff. Not terrible, but not really all that good and I felt like a damned alien there because I had never seen any of these indie movies and stuff that people seem to watch.
Most of the problems with other subs pertain to how easy flamewars seem to start and how threads can spiral out of hand very quickly, or how little traffic they get. In my opinion, there just isn't a whole lot of reason to venture far out of FT and GGD.
Jager is great
Native Americans need to make more of an effort to absorb and diffuse into modern society rather than clinging to outdated ideals.

It's literally a faster windows 7 with different menus
I'm surprised that the iPod touch hasn't been renamed to just iPod at this point.
I hate to defend a Call of Duty game, especially the current incarnation of the franchise, but it feels like the "Zero Punctuation" videos of them are increasingly turning into Yahtzee saying "I didn't actually play the game, but I'm contractually obligated to give it a bad review".

I don't mind it at all on my tablet but I wouldn't want to use it on my pc. 8.1 makes it feel a little less clunky on pc (though more clunky on a tablet) but it still feels rather odd.
I find Starcraft to be extremely boring. I love Command and Conquer, Graviteam Tactics is my favorite niche wargame, and I regard Homeworld as one the deepest and best games I've ever played, but Starcraft makes me want to fall asleep.

People take that shit way too seriously, LoL especially has the worst gaming community ever, not even exaggeration I really think they do take #1
Dota2's character portraits (and those of RTSs in general) piss me off, they're really annoying.
It's like watching a child with ADHD addicted to energy drinks that has been ordered to sit still, constantly squirming, moving, and jittering in place. Doesn't help that they're all EXTREEEEEEEEEEMMEEE close ups of their faces which make me feel claustrophobic.
I don't know what the general consensus of Facepunch is concerning Imagine Dragons, but Radioactive is a really good song. Really gets me fired up for playing games with my friends.

As someone who plays Dota, League, Warcraft etc, I have to agree. The constant moving is there so that the units stand out, but even still it looks absolutely ridiculous. Especially when non-living beings (like Tiny, a golem made of rocks) [I]breathes[/I] and [I]blinks[/I].

Quite a few of them have.
Generally you don't hear about them because, well, the successful ones are generally very similar to the rest of the population in terms of outlook and habits and tend to have also intermarried as well.
The ones left behind (who live in reservations and that) are doing pretty badly because their old way of life is pretty much impossible (let's face it, it never will be again), plus they haven't been able to do much with their land (of poor quality) or make much of a living besides maybe selling alternative medicine treatments or trinkets to well-meaning but dumb white people who come over.
The ones left are unable to integrate mostly due to poor public services. If education was reformed and social welfare improved upon you could probably integrate those guys in.

Minecraft, SH, Rust, and mass debate are containment boards pretty much, they're meant to keep radioactive waste from poisoning the rest of the forum.
Some of the hobbies forums are pretty neat, airsoft gets some traffic, and maker mates usually has something decent posted every couple weeks.
