Nintendo needs to get into the smartphone market, because we seriously need to throw those touch screen "buttons" out the window.
People should have given banjo kazooie nuts & bolts a fair chance, yeah yeah it doesn't have your mumbo jumbos and whatever, but it's still a pretty fun game.

I played the demo before I'd ever played a banjo game because I was a ps1 kid, I didn't get why people were mad. I've since played banjo Kazooie and yeah I can get why fans would be disappointed but yeah it definitely isn't the pile people say it is. and if you thought anyone was gonna release a hub world 3d platformer with no bells and whistles in 2008 you were deluded srsly

it's fine that it wasn't a circa-1996 collectathon
it wasn't fine that it was a fucking car building game like what
you could have made an excellent 3D platformer and people would have been okay with it
I just don't get where the fucking cars thing came from
overall the game is actually fairly fun but it's not the point
why the fuck are there cars
Internet Explorer isn't actually that bad, at least not anymore.

So IPs shouldn't try new things?
Also, related SOMEWHAT, are the people who say "THEY'RE RAPING MY CHILDHOOD BY MAKING THE NEW TRANSFORMERS MOVIE". Noone cares, and you aren't the target audience of the movie, so of course you aren't going to like them. Also it's not like they forced all of the old transformers toys/DVDs off of ebay/amazon.

they should always try new things, but they should not mislead their fans
nobody buys mario kart expecting the gameplay of super mario 64
people were hyped for a new banjo game and received something that hardly classified as banjo-kazooie with little to no hope of the original series

The ones left behind (who live in reservations and that) are doing pretty badly[/QUOTE]
They're poor in the cities as well. They have a weaker tolerance to drugs and alcohol and their recent history has put them in a position where they don't have much skills or educational opportunities.
[QUOTE=Nemisis116;43388983]I don't like any MOBAs
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[/QUOTE]
I made the mistake of bringing up the horribleness of the League community to a League player once and they gave me a five minute lecture on how it's literally no different from any other game's community and that, since I don't play the game, my opinion isn't valid on it.
Thanks for proving my point, guy.
[QUOTE=asteroidrules;43383113]Native Americans need to make more of an effort to absorb and diffuse into modern society rather than clinging to outdated ideals.[/QUOTE]
Um do you not understand what white people did to the Native Americans
[QUOTE=ROFLBURGER;43399868]Um do you not understand what white people did to the Native Americans[/QUOTE]
Um do you not understand what the terms "time" and "irrelevant" mean? I'm fully well aware what happened over a century ago, but that doesn't change that what happens right now is their own insistence on clinging to the outdated tribal system and tribal claims are only holding them back. Do you realize that right now the US government is prepared and willing to pay the Sioux in full for the current value of their old lands? Think of the amount of good they'd be able to do for themselves with that type of money, but they refuse it, they're still demanding the land back, which is never going to happen.
Also, I'll say it again: white people is a rather dumb generalization, especially considering that in the same timeframe "whites" were doing those things to natives they were also doing similar to about half of the races we now consider "white".

Why should they accept the money? If they did they would disrespect hundreds of years of their culture.
I think LED street lights look like shit.
And I hate how sensationalist headlines threads always start debating over pointless shit.

Because, as I said before, all standing on principle is going to accomplish is holding them back. The government is simply not able to give them that land back at this point, they'd be far better off if they'd take what they can actually get. Not to mention that in the modern world they'd be better off with that money than the land.

They have a right to have whatever culture they want without discrimination, telling them to suck it up and "make an effort to be more like us" is ridiculously disrespectful.
I hate TF2.

At what point did I say I supported discrimination? I said that their culture, like all others, must flow and modernize like progress if it wishes to be capable of sustaining itself.
Do not put words in my mouth because you dislike the ones that are already there.
We need to round up every homeless person and use them as cattle feed.

Noooo
feed all poor to the rich
no more poverty, and no more world hunger
Adult Swim really needs to stop with their live action shows. Eagleheart and Children's Hospital just aren't funny, and the only reason why I watch NTSF is because both Kate Mulgrew and Karen Gillian co-star in the show. The others are so obscure that they aren't worth mentioning.
I want more Robot Chicken and King of the Hill, damn it.

Also Tim and Eric's Awesome Show was okay. It had its moments, but it wasn't that great.
I find the soundtracks to Mario kart ds and diddy kong racing (both versions) annoying
I love the movie Jarhead.
And the soundtrack too.

The only reason i avoid Starcraft is that I'm convinced that my faith in the Immortal God Emperor keeps me from dying of boredom at work, meaning that I probably shouldn't touch anything that blasphemes the Adeptus Astartes, his holy Space Marines. :x

So what elements of their culture need to be destroyed? Being poor and doing drugs isn't their culture.
Pikmin 2 and Banjo-Tooie are better than their respective originals in every way except music
[QUOTE=Pigbear;43400531]I hate TF2.[/QUOTE]
May I ask why? I play the game myself and I absolutely adore it. However, I despise hat trading and everything they're doing with the servers (all Valve servers are MvM now; MOTD bullshit; large shitty server chains like Saigns, Nighteam and Bets.tf; everything else being modded to shit; most of the decent servers are Skial if you want to call Skial decent), and these two things are what TF2 is clearly perceived to be comprised of in nearly its full entirety. But, ignoring trading and server bullshit to the best of my ability, I have found that, really, it's still a great game.
I guess my question is this: what exactly about the game do you not like? A lot of the problems that people complain about are actually easily avoidable.
I wish TF2 was more like TFC

How can I make you understand
If I steal your land, and give you the worst possible land while in previous generations your ancestors were murdered, raped and tortured and offer you a small sum of money meaningless to you, would you accept?
Fable 2 was rad.

yeah I loved both fable 1 and 2, I played fable 1 without hearing any of what was promised so I didn't have that disappointment waiting for me., And 2 I just really loved the atmosphere and the art style so much I kind of glossed over any stuff they didn't manage to live up to.
Fable 3 was just a mess. I never felt at any point like I could just relax and be, it felt like you were always being forced onto the next boring stage of the quest
