    What is the appeal of cowboys?

    And more guns. People can freely carry weapons more now than then.

    Sony implements new policy censoring Japanese games for possible fanservice content

    I think I said that wrong. I meant that the eighties and continuing into the nineties, put this image in people heads of teenagers being these fully grown sexual beings. It's like Cordelia in Buffy. She a highschooler, but the actress is like thirty. It creates a dissonance I'm not even sure...

    What is the appeal of cowboys?

    I too am all about the spaghetti western. (Other than the lack of female leads. Seriously like 2, across hundreds of films.) Spaghetti Westerns take place in a hyper west. As unrealistic as arthurian legends are to medieval times. The real west wasn't that wild. It was boring, and rough...

    Sony implements new policy censoring Japanese games for possible fanservice content

    I blame the eighties. They wanted teenage sex comedies so they hired thirty year olds to play teenagers... I remember, when I got to high school, being confounded at how young we all were. I think two generations have grown up with this image of teenagers being older seeming than they really...

    How is it possible that Fallout 4 looks way worse than Skyrim Special Edition?

    I feel the main art design of the Fallout series hasn't aged in such a way as to hold up in the modern generation of games. Add bethesda's unwillingness to update said style (it wouldn't make fans happy) and you end up with a lot of disparate and simple designs tossed into a classic brown...

    The best show on SyFy is.......... BLOOD DRIVE!!!

    Here I am posting again after just posting, but I think it's relevant. (It might not be, feel free to correct me.) How do networks expect you to buy into a show if they don't show a commitment to supporting it? Why should I check out the new syfy show and perhaps fall in love with it, when I...

    The best show on SyFy is.......... BLOOD DRIVE!!!

    Of course it was. This post was literally the first time i have heard about the show, and I'm a huge genre fan. So much entertainment get's dropped by a company when it is said companies fault it failed. That seems... wrong. Maybe the show is super awful, maybe it could have been advertised...

    Destiny 2 character creation sucks

    One the one hand, the options all look really good. On the other, yeah, so many games these days have prebuilt options instead of letting you customize mouth eyes ears seperatly... Is disappointing. From what I hear your previous characters appearance is all that carries over, so I guess I...

    Debate; Modern technology and networking has made dating/relationships harder instead of easier?

    I'm going to echo Parasondox in that I don't remember posting in this thread and didn't realize it was an old thread until I got to my post -_- Dating via algorithm sounds, like a bad idea, but again I still don't actually know any statistics. I've never been with someone I didn't know for a...

    So, seems like The Dark Tower should of stayed closed

    I was excited for this thanks to the casting. But the first trailer killed all anticipation. The reviews sound exactly like what the trailer was selling. So, in that way, I guess, good on them for making an honest trailer?

    Genre for Dark Souls-esque games

    On a lot of sites these days I see people use action rpg to refer to Diablo clones, dungeon crawler, as the main genre tends to refer to first person games, those inspired by wizardry, like eye of the beholder or Legend of Grimrock. There is enough of a difference between these games, and souls...

    Adult games.

    For fuck's sake. It's been three years, everyone else moved on. I forgot he even existed until you brought him up in this thread. Your Hate obsession colors everything you have said. While theoretically adjacent to the op, it is all obviously an attempt to derail the topic to focus on, what...

    When will the Comic Book Movie fatigue hit the majority of fans? Or has it already begun/happened?

    I've never gotten sick of genres. However I don't go see movies in theatres anymore, the last superhero film I saw in theatres was GOTG 1. I watched Dr Strange when it showed up on netflix. I liked it. All the others ones I haven't seen from Avengers 2 to Spiderman all look neat. If I get in the...

    Could Hitman 2016 have gotten away with it?

    I'm not sure I can see how the game was a cashgrab. the full thing was cheaper than prettymuch every other triple a game. The season pass was the whole game, for a total of $60. You didn't have to buy the game and then buy an additional season pass on top of that. There is a single 3 dollar...
