[QUOTE=Deng;46547568]When people say words like "herb" and omit the "h", do the world a favour and actually pronounce it. It's there for a reason.[/QUOTE] Just like it's kuh-nife not nife? Silent letters exist in English and herb is a word where the h can be silent or pronounced.
It can be silent but it sounds stupid.
[QUOTE=Alice3173;46547727]Just like it's kuh-nife not nife? Silent letters exist in English and herb is a word where the h can be silent or pronounced.[/QUOTE] Except unlike words like knife or climb, there are a lot of people who pronounce the "h". "erb" is a awful sounding word.
[QUOTE=Deng;46547934]Except unlike words like knife or climb, there are a lot of people who pronounce the "h". "erb" is a awful sounding word.[/QUOTE] oh you're from he UK that explains everything. Silent H in herb is better. also color, armor are spelt better here.
I hate Super Mario Bros.
[QUOTE=Griffster26;46548888]I hate Super Mario Bros.[/QUOTE] I've always thought The Legend of Zelda was better than Mario. Even after playing countless games from both series, I can confidently say that Mario just isn't as good as Zelda.
I believe that WoW is much more enjoyable now than back in "Vanilla." Some aspects are questionable, but the game has evolved in a lot of great ways since then.
[QUOTE=Alice3173;46547727]Just like it's kuh-nife not nife? Silent letters exist in English and herb is a word where the h can be silent or pronounced.[/QUOTE] The k used to be pronounced btw. It's not that hard to do, also, it doesn't sound like "kuh-nife" when one does so. I do it. If you learn pretty much any other Germanic language you have to learn to do it. English just ditched it for some reason. Probably the same reason we dropped spake, dolven, subjunctives, case (Kind of). AKA, no reason, it just happened.
[QUOTE=Hakita;46547472]because it's a really badly directed scene in an otherwise great movie[/QUOTE] the rest of the movie is terrible too
[QUOTE=Deng;46547568]When people say words like "herb" and omit the "h", do the world a favour and actually pronounce it. It's there for a reason.[/QUOTE] I only say the H in herb if it's someone's name.
Human males are grouped by alphas and betas just like animals
[QUOTE=Daniel Smith;46549714]Human males are grouped by alphas and betas just like animals[/QUOTE] That's factually false in both areas, the idea of an alpha wolf was disproven a while ago tbh the idea that there are alpha and beta males in humans reeks of Red Pill bullshit

[QUOTE=Daniel Smith;46549714]Human males are grouped by alphas and betas just like animals[/QUOTE]While some men have more confidence and social skills than others, talking about alpha vs beta males unironically makes you look stupid
the ps2 had a way better startup noise than the ps1
[QUOTE=simzboy;46549467]I believe that WoW is much more enjoyable now than back in "Vanilla." Some aspects are questionable, but the game has evolved in a lot of great ways since then.[/QUOTE] I stopped playing after Cata, not because I dislike wow, but because I just don't think I wanna pay 15 bucks a month for the game. If they ever do one-pay only and transactions like GW2 I will definitely pick it up again.
[QUOTE=FreakySoup;46549611]the rest of the movie is terrible too[/QUOTE] I wouldn't say it's terrible, but it's by far the worst of the trilogy, and probably all of Nolan's movies. Spoilers for TDKR, but watch 1:20 [video=youtube;7PWJD_uCkK8]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7PWJD_uCkK8[/video]

[QUOTE=Deng;46547683]I grant you those but in the case of "herb" there is a precedent for using the "h".[/QUOTE] Errrb and spices?
Authoritarianism is underrated and the universal hatred for it is mostly born out of a misguided notion that the majority is always right. Further, authoritarianism is potentially way more efficient in political decisionmaking during times of crisis without a need for layers upon layers of bureaucracy and exploratory comittees etc.
I think montage parodies are funny
[QUOTE=NeverGoWest;46555329]I think montage parodies are funny[/QUOTE] Is this really unpopular? I don't see a lot of hate for them anywhere.
[QUOTE=165your4;46555341]Is this really unpopular? I don't see a lot of hate for them anywhere.[/QUOTE] They'll probably start losing popularity sooner or later. It happens to everything. Enjoy it while it lasts with your Doritos™ and Mountain Dew™.
[QUOTE=FFStudios;46546492]interesting title, i don't usually browse FT ever but yeah i never liked any of the goldsrc half-life games. just couldn't get into them. i was really thrilled with half-life 2 and the episodes though.[/QUOTE] The thread title should be renamed to "Unpopular opinions! V2: 'New Vegas was the better game' edition"
[QUOTE=Agent 47;46555246]wow I forgot how shit that scene was[/QUOTE] This one was worse imo: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBpbmXxD0_E[/media]
The good examples of Early Access games aren't enough to redeem it. Its main footprint on the industry is to legitimise lazy development and shoddy examples of "released" games in a whole new way. Developers shouldn't be shitting on their creations like this, customers shouldn't be buying into it, and Valve shouldn't be allowing unfinished games on their platform. Fuck. Yes, this is a thinly-veiled rant that I was dumb enough to buy into an Early Access game, which got its "1.0" release today.
what game exactly?

Being ok or even happy with shitty people (murderers, child molesters, rapists, so on) dying or getting the death penalty does not make you some kind of messed up in the head weird sociopath
