Steam Greenlight was a bad idea and they should've made the acceptable game criteria a little stricter. It turned into a copy of the Xbox Live Marketplace or whatever it's called really quickly. It's not all bad, but most of the good game ideas are lost in the mass of shit pretty quickly.

Pre sliced loafs of bread are realy shitty and have shitty crust.
Proper bread with a tough crusty crust and soft interior is magnificent.
[QUOTE=Nemisis116;43652542]Do you mean death metal where it just sounds like somebody is coughing into the mic?
That I can agree on, sounds like shit tbh[/QUOTE]
Yeah, I ment death metal

What's the appeal with somebody screaming incoherently in the mic.
Classic style metal is the best. Coherent singing and guitars/drums that aren't overdone as fuck.

I dunno, I kinda miss Pizza Hut's hot dog crust :3

No I mean I not only physically cringe drinking the stuff, a feeling I have nevee before gotten from any food/drink, but I get MASSIVE stomach aches for hours after drinking it. It's less acidic than Coke, so I don't know why, but regardless you can see why I might think it's literally poison.

I'm not even a metal fan, but black metal is one of the few areas of metal that has the capability to be beautiful and aim for the sublime
The thing with 90% of metal is that it's [I]abrasive[/I] to my ears, which is entirely contrary to the reason I listen to music in the first place.
However one can't seem to express a distaste for the genre without someone butting in their face and telling them that the genre is bad at describing itself. It's a "generally speaking" sort of deal. I have a few songs from metal bands on my Grooveshark, but should I try to listen to other songs from the bands, my ears want to leave the room.

see I'm a big follower of John Cage, his philosophy about noise really inspired to think outside the box when it comes to music and what the split is between noise and music. Stuff like early swans used to be too much for me but I'll listen to stuff like this

you can grow into liking more abrasive musics is what I mean I guess
[QUOTE=ShadowSocks8;43651398]You can have your opinion and I can rate you dumb for it, no problem there.
I just say you have entitlement issues because you feel the need to type out a thematic essay about the politics and dynamics of a (relatively) small internet forum's thread about posting funny pictures just to prove some point you have about a certain type of funny picture.
Everyone else is just trying to tell you to chill out and just scroll past the pictures because is shouldn't matter that much.[/QUOTE]
Fair enough

Coke Zero is the most common marketed literal poison I can think of. It's revolting.

In all fairness, I think the majority of games that get released are pretty good. But I don't really know what side I'm on with that.
I prefer warm water over freezing cold water.
Like when you have a cup of water on your bedstand when you fall asleep I'd rather drink it in the morning when I wake up than in bed.

Oh, I rated agree thinking you said Diet Coke.
Coke zero is good, but Diet Coke is awful. I guess it is really Diet, since it taste so bad it will make you never want to drink soda again.
STALKER is a perfect example of how NOT to make a game difficult.

the MISERY TC for CoP is an excellent example of how to make a game artificially overly difficult: it makes Dark Souls look like a walk in the park. on a related subject: The soundscape elements in the games are an excellent example of how to do dark ambient right; Vladimir Frey's music practically made the series for me ([url]http://www.last.fm/music/MoozE[/url])
I still love STALKER ShoC. My first playthrough was vanilla. I would disagree that it's not an example of how to make a game difficult, but I particularly hate how much of a headshotfest the games turn into by mid to late game.
Now I just play with mods that make it more reasonable and it fixes pretty much everything.

Diet sodas are actually worse for you than normal ones. The artificial sweetners don't trigger the response in your body that produces hormones to help to manage blood sugar.

what does stalker do wrong?
other than make some mutant encounters a bit unreasonably difficult (like that fucking ecologist mission, my goodness)

to actually play the game by mid-late game, you have to go headshots-only mode and STALKER quickly turns into Counter-Strike in eastern europe.

Almost everything "difficult" is only so because it's highly artificially inflated, and done beyond the point of it being challenging or rewarding so its just left a frustrating mess.

aiming for the head is a bit of a given, most FPSes would prefer you aiming at the head.

such as? you mean like how enemies die in a few shots? (which i admit only really happens in CoP, the first two, enemies can get really tanky late game)
