I think Counter-Strike Global Offensive is just majorly a graphics overhaul.
[QUOTE=artDecor;41452429]Game Grumps became funnier when Dan replaced Jon[/QUOTE] JonTron is funnier by himself than when he was doing GameGrumps.
[QUOTE=darcy010;41452718]I've watched a few episodes of Gamegrumps and can't see the appeal at all. There are literally thousands of two man lets plays on youtube and there are a hell of a lot more that are both funnier and more entertaining.[/QUOTE] it's because Jon and Ego are popular youtubers that's literally it
[QUOTE=Swog;41459046]I think Counter-Strike Global Offensive is just majorly a graphics overhaul.[/QUOTE] Have you even played the game? They've made a ton of major changes and additions.
[QUOTE=Katamari101;41460386]Have you even played the game? They've made a ton of major changes and additions.[/QUOTE] I have. I only played it for 15 hours. I usually got those 14 hours in free weekends. I just bought the game today. I can't tell what's different from CS:S. It might just be me.
I prefer the movie version of Les Miserables. It has got a remastered feel to the original musicals. That said I do still have a passionate love for the original musical cast
Warhammer fans are up there with all the other "bad" fandoms online i mean seriously your stupid fandom jokes are dumb as hell and if you think you're above furries, bronies, whovians, sherlockians(?), and homestucks, then you're a dumb hypocritical nerd.

[editline]14th July 2013[/editline] i mean, how is posting a chaos noise marine in response to a music-related discussion any different from posting some dumb pony garbage after somebody says "20% ___" or a dr who joke when talking about phonebooths?
i'm not trying to add fuel to a fire that's related to a discussion that took place several pages back, but being transphobic isn't an opinion, it's a toxic mindset that harms others if you are transphobic, you are bigoted; there's really no other way to paint it.

The whole "purge the heretics" thing whenever they see something they don't like is dumb and obnoxious and fuck.
I've always had faith in the Xbox One, since the reveal. The old DRM thing was kinda a problem at first, but I knew with all the hate on it, Microsoft would've gotten rid of it. I do think the PS4 is a great console, but I still think the Xbox is better to me.

And I feel like what the let's players are doing can be compared to what will.I.am did. And I also think that, if you want to make money with games, ask the developer for permission. Let's Players can be okay. It's pretty hit-and-miss.

[QUOTE=gokiyono;41462019]Which is annoying when being the guy with the different opinion and people want to debate them.[/QUOTE] That's fair enough imo. Even attempting to change their opinion is fine, but you need to accept that not everyone thinks the way you do and that insulting/attacking them for those opinions isn't acceptable.

But that is the stance I have. (It started with me trying to debate what an opinion is. (Which is why I brought up music in the first place))
