Jennifer Lawrence puts on the whole 'quirky dopey fally at the oscary' thing because she has nothing else going for her, she's not the best actor and has fans only because of her staged quirkiness and moderate attractiveness.
Frozen is an overrated movie, literally let it go.
[QUOTE=Alice3173;44240288]Yeah, it really just seems people want Nintendo to fail at this point just because Nintendo doesn't specifically cater to them. Apparently it's too hard to just stick to those who do cater to your tastes and ignore those who don't.[/QUOTE]
You just wrote all of Kotaku's nintendo related reports in a nutshell.

I could care less about her, but I still like the story the of Hunger Games

I think pretty much everyone except the director of the series thinks it needs to stop.
Also, I'm getting kind of sick of games touting random/procedural generation. I'm not saying I think it's inherently a bad design, but it seems like it's becoming a bit of a crutch, and I don't think a randomly generated design can match up to a well built human-made one.

Let It Go didn't deserve its Grammy tbh.
[QUOTE=BlueChihuahua;44241288]You're implying that a woman can only be either sexy or ugly to you (I doubt that's what you really mean). Ugly and disgusting are both insults. Hair length really makes you feel that way?[/QUOTE]
what? that makes no sense
what i'm saying is that it doesn't matter how offensive the words i'm using are. they might make me an asshole but they won't make me a shallow person if they mean the same thing as a less offensive word
[QUOTE=Trainbike;44242637]He was talking about Reddit originally though. I forget exactly how it went down, but r/jailbait (and a couple of other subreddits I think) caused a huge controversy because it straddled the line between child porn and/or included actual child porn sometimes, and that lead to people defending it using reddit's "free speech" stance. Eventually it [I]was[/I] shut down though.
Loli isn't even on the same level and I completely agree with the people opposing bans on that. It may be super ultra mega creepy but at the end of the day they're not real kids and no one is getting hurt. Burning people who look at Loli at the stake as paedophiles is ridiculous and accomplishes nothing.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, I understand. I said "Phew" because it wasn't Facepunch. And I'm not saying Loli is on the same level at all, I was just saying that's the closest I've seen Facepunch get to somewhere like that. I don't think it's bad. :P

Well there was that time Garry opened a subforum anybody, including unregistered and banned users, could post in. There were like twenty legit child porn threads. SPEHSS MARINE even got all pissy about it and started blaming Garry for ruining his college career and life, because he assumed the FBI was gonna come after him.
Jennifer Lawrence is one of the least attractive actresses of the current mainstream actresses. She looks too "Redneck" to me. Couldn't think of another word to describe it.

"Disgusting" is a much, much stronger word than saying something along the lines of, "It's not my style." By saying the word disgusting, you're saying that it's absolutely stomach-wrenching and vile.
Reaching for the words that have maximum strength does change your tone and how your personality appears to other people.

and how does that make people who use the word "disgusting" shallow? like i said, it might make them assholes, but shallow? just because they use a more extreme word?
Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword is a really good game, but Nintendo took a few too many steps in the wrong direction with the stamina meter and shield durability. And they really should've tried to improve the aiming system that had to be reset almost every time you go into dowsing mode. Other than that, the game is perfect.

Ah, then never mind - I misread. I don't think it makes people shallow for holding that stance.
Isolationism is an outdated and idiotic political stance that should have died off decades ago.
I don't understand why people hate on individual pastors/ministers of local churches/parishes. Yes there are a lot of issues with their religion, yes their administration/high ups may be corrupt as fuck. But the local minister probably has nothing to do with that, and is ultimately probably doing quite a lot of good for the community (more than a lot of atheists probably would - I'm an atheist for the record). People forget that they do spend a lot of time offering guidance, visiting elderly, running local community events, fundraising, in some places offering housing to those in need for free and seem to assume all of them are hateful homophobic monsters who touch little kids and just preach hate (which while being true for some, don't ring true for an equal amount - who we simply never hear about due to their non-controversialness).

i believe that the north korean government should be removed through force, i personally think it won't happen peacefully
i believe that there's no reason to help out shitty african states,
1. the people need it
2. it would bring the international economy up from increased trade
basically what i'm saying is i believe in intervention, people may say something like "america & oil; america world police"
but
its helping the people, some may fight about it, but people here on facepunch complain about progress but are hypocritical when it comes to putting troops and attempting to help a nation out
Saddam was a fucking cunt to his people but people here on facepunch say
"There was no reason to invade Iraq, let them figure out their own problems"
anyway i need to stop this rant gotta clean for tomorrow
mainstream music is shit.

hipster.
[QUOTE=Feyed;44248827]mainstream music is shit.[/QUOTE]
this
I know it's a matter of opinion but I need to explain why "hipster" music tastes aren't so the person can feel better about themselves. 99% of what comes on the radio is uninspired, repetitive [B]shit[/B]. People with these "hipster" music interests literally can't stand what's popular by matter of taste. I like a few of Imagine Dragons' songs, I like Lorde, I like some Kanye West, but other than that it blows my mind how it is that mainstream music is mainstream.

What's even more confusing is how when a certain album becomes popular, the vast majority of the time the worst or one of the worst songs of the album will be what becomes popular and the entire rest of the album gets ignored.

I had no problems with shield breaking or stamina. If you blocked like you were supposed to (slightly thrusting the nunchuck before the attack hits you), your shield doesn't take damage. It was put in so blocking required more skill, as opposed to just holding your shield up willy nilly and never taking damage. Never broke a shield, and no possibly way to when you get the shields that slowly auto-regenerate. (unless you're TRYING to fuck up)
I do agree on the aiming though. Besides aiming, combat was perfect.

Around here it certainly seems to be, any time the US or other first-world nations do anything other than slam their doors people complain about "world policing" and "it's all about oil" (and when they do slam the doors people complain about "unfair immigration policy", but that's a topic for another rant). Honestly I think the world's superpowers have a duty to maintain and advance civilization in the rest of the world, and letting parts of the world go to shit because "it's none of our business" is extremely selfish and detrimental to society as a whole.
Diablo III isn't as bad as everyone leads it on to be, and with the newest patch it's pretty much mostly fixed.
Okay going back to the whole Google+ comments thing being slapped onto youtube, I want to give an example of what it was I was talking about:
[img]http://puu.sh/7wZ7e.png[/img]
So I watched the Grasshopper's last video recently and checked out the comments. [B]Yes, fucking thank you, it's not like everyone else didn't see the video description[/B]. But really, it's not the fault of the poster; merging Google+ comments of shared items with a [I]comments[/I] system is, objectively speaking, [B]SENSELESS[/B]. Easily half of the "comments" section of virtually every video on youtube is now stupid shit like this because when a Google+ member shares an item, they naturally have to redescribe it to their followers or w/e they're called and for whatever reason, such captions publish to youtube and you end up with countless worthless posts like this.
Yes I'm angry because it's a very, VERY obvious design flaw and Google is [I]notorious[/I] for never backing down from any single one of their blatantly shit mistakes and it's just [I]frustrating[/I]. The logic going on never makes any goddamn sense. The devs behind Youtube Center are 501% more intelligent than the entirety of every web development branch at Google. Google has not made one single good decision in any product other than their search engine since 2009.

Procedural generation should be used in addition to normal design. Something like predesigned rooms and corridors in a roguelike or a predesigned game with optional procedural generation modes for people who want to keep playing after beating it or something would be good.
I want to see procedural generation become the norm for games, especially for map generation. It has infinite applications in the gaming industry, but military shooters in particular would be 50000% more interesting after the first week after launch if they procedurally generated warzones for players fight in, so players have to be dynamic so that it's more about skill than map knowledge.

Or on the flip side if you're not then you're probably quite boring. The only exceptions really being someone who actually has some good skill in their hobbies.
