I never owned a gamecube. My cousins had one, and I played The Ocarina of Time on it, but it felt so... wrong. Since I was used to the n64 controller and whatnot.
I always thought the Xbox 360 had the best controller design.

I really loved it, it's a close second, but now that I've played with a PS4 controller (on my PC) it's like... one of those, "you can't un-see it," type things, only tactilely.

Xbox One's controller remains the best controller I felt since 1999.
Being a PS owner, I barely touched the Xbox controller and it's was so much better, it's like more comfortable playing with them.
PS controllers are great but they hurt my thumbs in certain games.
I think surrendering in Smite and League of Legends is stupid no matter the situation. I play the game knowing there's a chance I'll lose. Commit!
Oh and also I like both PlayStation and Xbox controllers. They get the job done.
[QUOTE=Sharker;45753089]Valve is overrated as hell. Plus they ported a few of their games to consoles for a quick buck then never ever bothered to patch them once despite them being broken as fuck.[/QUOTE]
I love how people tend to overlook that fact that Valve did this but would tear any other company apart for it.
[QUOTE=simzboy;45768291]I think eating alone at a restaurant can be pretty nice. It's relaxing, and It allows me to focus more on enjoying my food.
A lot of people seem to think eating alone is the saddest thing ever.[/QUOTE]
When eating alone, I don't enjoy my meal at all.

AFAIK TF2 on Xbox 360 and PS3 can't be patched regularly due to horribly overpriced fees and therefore only got patched once.
[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;45770297]The Gamecube controller isn't bad, it's just really tiny.[/QUOTE]
I think the Gamecube controller is the best video game controller to have ever been invented. The Xbox 360 controller comes in a close second just because the button layout is similar.
I'd like the gamecube controller more if it wasn't so small and the grips weren't so thin.
[QUOTE=Zotobom;45769203]May I ask,why is it stupid?[/QUOTE]
The whole show in my eyes is just cars cars cars with a bit of quirky comedic moments on the side. I've never really been an auto fanatic so the show just doesn't appeal to me.
I suppose this is a more correct way of saying I don't like the show.
[QUOTE=Atlascore;45768536]Okay guys, it's time for an unpopular video game related opinion, here it goes!
At this point the only hope Nintendo has left is to open up to third party developers and pray they'll want to spend the resources needed porting their titles to such outdated hardware (in comparison to the Xbone/PS4).[/QUOTE]
I was with you up until here. If you think Nintendo is in any state of panic over the Wii U then you're the delusional one. Besides, the hardware is hardly a point of argument, as the Wii was the big seller last gen.
I think the Wii U never really had a chance, due to bad branding and sort of jumping the gun. I don't mind that at all, though, since underdog Nintendo makes the best games. Just look at the GameCube. Even then they have the safety cushion of the 3ds.

Speaking as someone with rather large hands, I will take the xbox 360 controller over the ps3/4 any day just because it give more space to wrap my hands around it, making much more comfortable to use.
I still kind of like Arin Hanson, and while I'll agree that his latest sequelitis and the overall game design philosophy he shows in game grumps is very very flawed if not entirely wrong, I do think he does have some good thoughts on game design, I mean just look at his first few sequelitis episodes, I'd say they were perfectly solid.
[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;45771408]The lead singer for Muse is one of my favorite singers of all time.
I don't even know why, I just dig how cool his voice sounds. Plus, Matthew Ballamy is a sexy motherfucker, but that's beside the point.

I've never liked muse, and I've found their music to be highly irritating.
[QUOTE=Zillamaster55;45772027]I've never liked muse, and I've found their music to be highly irritating.[/QUOTE]
I used to like them a lot but its not really my thing anymore. I would suggest looking at their earlier albums if you haven't listened to them though.

You NEVER hit your child. Even if we disregard all the known psychological detriments it brings, there is absolutely no honour or dignity in hitting something that will not hit you back, it's just an abuse of your power and influence.

rated useful cause I at first rated disagree and then went "huh, this is something I should probably go do some reading on".

I doubt a tap to the cheek is going to turn a child into a person that contracts at every sudden movement like they've been beaten their entire life. Honor and dignity, I didn't know we were still in the Edo Period.
Sorry, I'm being condescending but I doubt a parent that doesn't mind this is going to "physically discipline" or "beat up" their child every single day at every little thing, only and exclusive at moments of utter immaturity that we all know children tend to have once in a while where words can't do anything.

There are instances where it's the only thing you can do, like if they're too young to understand and they did something ridiculous. For instance, once, when I was either in kindergarten or first grade, I straight up punched my father in the face. And I'm not talking a measly half-assed punch - I legitimately punched him in the face with all my strength. Talking that out would be stupid, and the lesson is strengthened only by getting spanked - don't dish out punches if you can't take any pain yourself. Also, punching your dad while he's trying to enjoy a sandwich can only result in spankings.
And it worked! I've never punched my dad with serious intent again.
You'd be infuriated if you saw how African immigrants(Angola, Mozambique, Cape Verde) here treat their children though, I know I am. Literally hitting their kid's hands with those wooden spoons and shoes, weird shit but people treat it as normal because it's their culture I guess.
If I can be a humongous douche here and offer my insight as a parent, I don't spank my baby. (He's almost 2, so toddler I guess.) And I plan to keep corporal punishment out of the equation if it can be helped, instead opting to lead by example and to teach with reasoning rather than, "because I said so."
However
If my kid is being an absolute shitlord, completely refusing to cooperate, disrespecting my wife or I, acting purely out of selfishness after being reasoned with and after he understands why what he's doing is wrong, I'll probably spank him, open palm, not forceful, but firm. This doesn't equate to beating the shit out of my kid, it equates to reminding him that although I'm going to be fair and reason with him, I'm also the one he needs to be looking to/listening to, even if he disagrees, which he probably will, because when you're a kid you automatically know more and better than your parents because you're young and they're old, but then when you become a parent you realize how real shit works.
If he knows better but does it anyway, and it really is wrong, he's being a spoiled little shit and needs to be reminded to have some manners.

I suppose that is fine because he ended the fight rather than starting it :v:

It's called morals. You don't hit something that you know won't fight back because it simultaneously makes you look cowardly because there's no other way you could win and an oppressive bully for abusing your power.

But here's a question: What if the kid isn't going to understand it any other way? What if the kid is a gigantic ass that just isn't getting it?

No? It's a parent disciplining their child, it's not a bully harassing and abusing another kid, wth.
