[QUOTE=Zotobom;46021509]I like Worms 4 Mayhem/Worms Ultimate Mayhem[/QUOTE] On the same note, I actually can't stand any of the 2D Worms games. I got started with Worms 3D and later Worms 4: Mayhem, and I just can't enjoy the 2D games. Ultimate Mayhem is my favorite worms game.
I really liked 48:13
Mists of Pandaria is one of the better expansions in WoW. The talent tree redux is really one of the few bad things about it, and even ten that wasn't that bad. It feels like most people don't like it because "How dare they put a race that was already in the lore and appeared in Warcraft 3 inside my super serious World of Warcraft!" Really, pandas are on of the less ridiculous things to happen in WoW. [editline]19th September 2014[/editline] People seem to fawn over vanilla to much. And Cataclysm was certainly the worst expansion. The world redesign was awesome, and I loved playing goblins, but the 80-85 leveling content was boring, and the dungeons and raids were sub-par.

The chain quests seem to have more depth, and they're actually interesting if you follow them. I also love the recurring characters you meet along the way.

Granted, I've never really seen a bad Titan zone. Storm Peaks was fucking great, too.

[QUOTE=RichyZ;46023911]ah yes quoting a comedy bit really gonna change the country with that 1[/QUOTE] Where did I say I was trying to change the country? It doesn't work. The politicians are all fucking incompetent and corrupt for the most part and will just do whatever the lobbyists in the backroom tell them to do with monetary incentives. Want to know why a certain law is proposed or passed? Follow the money.
[QUOTE=Yogkog;46015549]Are you saying only people with an understanding of politics should be able to vote (which I agree with) or are you saying something like women shouldn't vote?[/QUOTE] excluding people from electing those who will affect their lives because of a subjective judgement on who is smart enough is just as bad to be completely honest
[QUOTE=JustExtreme;46023486]"I have solved this political dilemma in a very direct way: I don't vote. On Election Day, I stay home. I firmly believe that if you vote, you have no right to complain. Now, some people like to twist that around. They say, 'If you don't vote, you have no right to complain,' but where's the logic in that? If you vote, and you elect dishonest, incompetent politicians, and they get into office and screw everything up, you are responsible for what they have done. You voted them in. You caused the problem. You have no right to complain. I, on the other hand, who did not vote -- who did not even leave the house on Election Day -- am in no way responsible for that these politicians have done and have every right to complain about the mess that you created." - George Carlin[/QUOTE] If we're quoting comedians then let me just put this here: [img]http://opinionsandexpressions.files.wordpress.com/2008/11/voting.jpg?w=714[/img] He was funnier too.

In the old tree it was often something like "+1% parry, how exciting.". And most people didn't even make use of the wide range of options in the old one because they just grabbed whatever build had the highest numbers off the internet.

Politicians running for president tend to do so under the guise of promising political change in whatever is happening in the nation. The people, convinced by the promises made by their preferred candidate (as well as the candidate's past experiences in politics, forgot to add this), then vote for them based on that. If the candidate-become-president then changes their mind and does something else, the people that voted for them were lied to, and are not at fault for the candidate's choices.
[QUOTE=Venezuelan;46025268]excluding people from electing those who will affect their lives because of a subjective judgement on who is smart enough is just as bad to be completely honest[/QUOTE] idk, people are already excluded from voting when they're too young because they aren't considered mature enough. I think there are pros and cons to an exam-based voting permit instead of an arbitrary age limit.

Nerd culture simply glamorizes being a piece of shit. People who pay attention to video game journalism are idiots. Same goes for those who care about celebrities and hold them as some higher form of life. Video games are pretty fucking stupid in general, hardcore gamers are mostly mouth breathing pieces of shit. Money is honestly one of the lesser things in life, if you care about money more then you ever could for another person then you are retarded.
[QUOTE=ColdWave;46026152]Nerd culture simply glamorizes being a piece of shit. [/QUOTE] Holy Jesus, yes. I enjoy video games and anime personally, but I hate how nerd culture makes staying at home and being a freeloading piece of shit seem normal
Realistic game graphics are boring.
[QUOTE=Sergeant Stacker;46026286]Realistic game graphics are boring.[/QUOTE] Depends on the genre, really. If I'm playing a survival game, I enjoy more realistic graphics but if I'm playing an FPS or something I don't expect realism.
[QUOTE=Sergeant Stacker;46026286]Realistic game graphics are boring.[/QUOTE] Graphics are insignificant, what matters is consistent art direction.

The new one, after I warmed up to it, is actually superior, and some of the talents (Murder of Crows, especially) are pretty awesome.

[QUOTE=Moustacheman;46026606] I blame Big Bang Theory.[/QUOTE] I blame nerds who're frightened by the idea of confronting their own poor choices and instead decide that downplaying their problems is the better thing to do.
I agree with Roger Ebert, games aren't art. I feel they're something else entirely, and while games may have artistic merit I don't think you can truly classify them as art.
I didn't watch the Avengers and I don't plan to. Infact I don't give a shit about super heroes or marvel or whatever. Never have, and never will.
[QUOTE=ColdWave;46026152] People who pay attention to video game journalism are idiots. [/QUOTE] I agree. I saw that one thread in GD about "Corruption in video game journalism" and thought, "Honestly who even gives a shit? Why don't we focus on corruption in real journalism?".
[QUOTE=Alice3173;46019337]Compulsory voting like Australia has is just idiotic but at the same time voting like the US has its disadvantages as well. You get a lot of people who actually know about the policies which are being voted on who don't vote because they feel it won't accomplish anything but at the same time you get just as many people who have no idea what the hell they're even talking about who vote on it because X politician they normally agree with or X person who they respect said they should. The US's way is overall the more proper way in my opinion but they also need to do something about properly educating people on what they're voting on.[/QUOTE] Compulsory voting is necessary to achieve a truly representative government and compels people to engage with politics. A compulsory system with a turnout of 95% will always reflect the will of the people more than an optional system with a turn out of 57% (such as the US). Unless a staggering amount of people in the compulsory system are donkey-voting, this will hold true. An even more unpopular opinion: The idea that it is better to have a non-compulsory system jeopardises the democratic process by empowering certain groups of people more able or more interested in voting.
[QUOTE=asteroidrules;46026572]Graphics are insignificant, what matters is consistent art direction.[/QUOTE] Strange how you can sell 11 million copies and still barely break even.
Yeah I dont think Americans as a whole are that stupid.
[QUOTE=RenegadeCop;46028236]You'd be surprised how many people have chosen their political ideology soley based off their parents :v: I live in the south, though, so maybe it's different here.[/QUOTE] I'm compelled to agree, quite a bit of people blindly support whatever party they've chosen without taking a look at the candidate. Both republicans and democrats do this. Though I wouldn't say definitively that that would be the downfall of a mandatory voting system due to a lack of actual numbers.
[QUOTE=Atlascore;46028450] The worst part is the campaigns, they spend years building up all these lies and false promises, then when they're elected all that buildup flies out the window and you're left with someone that can't even accomplish 1/10th of what they discussed[/QUOTE] False promises? Political ads are nothing but slander ads here with little to no "I promise to blah blah blah". One ad was how "female employees were paid less when candidate X was CEO; this ad was paid for by candidate Y". Thought that was a common sense tidbit that applied to nearly every business. They never focus on the positives of candidates.
[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;46027337]Alien > Aliens Seriously, I loved Aliens, but it's just another action movie to me in comparison to how [I]perfect[/I] Alien was.[/QUOTE] Alien fan here. Agree entirely. Aliens is great but it's really quite different from Alien. Aliens is more action oriented while Alien is more horror, and probably the finest example of horror at that.
[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;46028407]I'm perfectly fine with people being religious, but I find whenever anybody goes on about how God changed their life, as much as I hate to admit it, it really, really annoys me. I'm not vocal about it or anything, but there's just a part of me that subconsciously labels that person as ignorant. And trust me, I know how much of an asshole that makes me sound like.[/QUOTE] If they mean going to church etc. led to many good changes in their life I'll have to disagree with you. Many people who start going to church end up within a new nice and supportive community which might be just what they need. However if they say god literally intervened in their life, I have to agree it's annoying af.
