Speaking about controllers, am I the only one who always had left hand on middle stick and right hand on right stick? I've seen some people hold it awkwardly.
I Will never Understand why you people have such a rock hard cock for the Gamecube

So just because I prefer the Gamecube controller to the Xbox360 controller means = instant Gamecube fanboy?
Great.
I also think playstation 2 controllers are as great,.

I didn't mean you, I was just speaking in general
Also the PS2 controller is pretty good

Anyways, the reason most like the Gamecube is because of it's awesome variety of games. You have good platformers (Mario Sunshine), great action/adventure games (GUN, Wind Waker, TTYD), some FPS games (Metroid Prime) and lots more.
controllers are personal preference, and none are really better than others. except for obvious ones that don't work. like the atari 5200 controller. I prefer the PS3 controller imo.
also gameplay>graphics>story>music.
n64 controller is unfairly hated on, it works perfectly fine for most games.

[QUOTE=WeekendWarrior;41932074]The Treaty of Versailles caused most of those problems.[/QUOTE]
The Treaty was simply a bit of extra baggage on a mountain of problems that Germany had built up for itself.

That's a rather blasé way to put it, whilst no post war country came off scot free, the Treaty had a knock on effect on all aspects of life in Germany.
[QUOTE=RockmanYoshi;41935286]I don't understand why most users of FP hate "retro-styled games". Yes, they are overdone, but I'm seeing a bit of hypocrisy here, because most FP users hate people who complain about graphics....[/QUOTE]
Well, bad graphics as an "art style" are a different issue than if they are that way because of technical/budget/time limitations. [URL="http://i.imgur.com/YvXJ1.jpg"]Look at this[/URL]. This is the art style of the new Binding of Isaac. They took a perfectly good looking game and made it look like it was made 20+ years ago. Just like applying a shitty overused instagram filter to a good photograph. Why would you do that?
My main problem with ~pixel-art~ is actually how low-res everything is, including the text. I don't usually bitch about bad graphics, but I do bitch about annoying limitations: e.g. bad console ports that are locked at 720p. This is the same, only way worse and without any technical reason to look like that. It's 2013, every game should scale to 1920*1080 (and even above) properly. And for fuck's sake I don't want to read text with an aliased four-pixel high font.

I have pretty big hands, and therefore found the pretty small PS2 controller incredibly uncomfortable. They should've swapped the D-pad and the left stick, honestly.
Though what do I know about controllers I liked the first fuckhueg Xbox controllers, and by extension am probably a massive tool.
[QUOTE=thelurker1234;41937139]I prefer the PS3 controller imo.[/QUOTE]
I like the PS2 controller but the PS3 one bothers me. The R2/L2 triggers would be better if they were shaped a bit differently. Having the same shape as the old L2/R2 buttons though made it far easier to accidentally push them or have your finger slip off.

The Treaty had an effect but not enough of one to crush Germany so that it would never be a threat again. Either the Allied Powers could have been more harsh and kept Germany down or be very lenient and do nothing but help Germany. They chose the middle ground and it helped no one.
The majority of problems that occurred during Weimar would have occurred regardless of the treaty, e.g. major inflation, weak government, nationalist tension, a weak economy and failing agricultural sector.

They were actually getting back on their feet until the Great depression hit, than the nationalists really gained power.

Demonstrably false so this doesn't really qualify as an opinion.

With the help of American loans which meant that any economic progress was an illusion which was shown to be true as soon as those loans were withdrawn.
video games arent that fun
Religions are stupid, athiests are stupid. anyone who isn't socialy liberal is stupid. Radical liberals with conspiracy theories are stupid. With the exception of those that make a load of money, anyone who's right wing is very stupid.
Also. Anyone who repeats phrases they hear from some media source which they don't understand deserves to be slapped around like a ping-pong ball. Especially stuff like "no regrets" or "be yourself". For the vast majority of people that translates to "be a cunt" and that pisses me off.

It's probably easier to tell us who isn't stupid.
I truly think the Brotherhood of Steel in New Vegas need to start using Eastern approaches to solving there problems and use the now reborn Enclave to beat the NCR and Legion.
Too nerdy? Probably...
[QUOTE=Faz;41938367]video games arent that fun[/QUOTE]
Yeah, sometimes I have a blast playing games. But then at some point I feel empty while playing them.
You should play games after you've done all your hardwork, something that makes you feel you achieved something. Games feel amazing after that.

Christ, that photo.
I'm usually fine with ~pixel art~ games as long as they actually take the effort to at least make it decent.
[QUOTE=Thom12255;41938630]It's probably easier to tell us who isn't stupid.[/QUOTE] I don't see why i get so many dumbs by giving an opinion that's supposed to be unpopular. Perhaps i will tell you who i think isn't stupid;
Easy going Agnostics who aren't upset by imaginary problems like race or abortions.
People who don't express ideas that they know nothing about. Like "communism is evil" even though many people with that idea are relatively poor and would benefit from a socialist system. The same thing also applies to less important things like Character quotes from movies that people think they should live by such as "I have no regrets" which should be bullshit (and scary if it isn't) since we're often doing stuff we should regret.
Eh, my viewpoint realy depends on my state of mind. Sometimes I think my culture is wrong because of[I] this[/I] and [I]this[/I] and [I]that [/I]and othertimes i think it doesn't realy matter if the moon changes course because Lives don't realy mean anything in the long run.

They're on a weird level of irony that not many people understand.
They also design their stuff to steer a lot of regular people away, so if you don't like them you're a pretty regular guy.

I'm far from a regular person and I can't stand them. Whether they're just being ironic or not, it doesn't make them any funnier to me. I put them about on the same level as most LPers such as the Yogscast.
