    Unpopular gaming opinions

    Its seems like some unpopular opinions are actually pretty widespread. Regardless, Skyrim is an underwhelming experience, and in terms of sheer design is absolutely miserable. Bethesda games are the epitome of quantity of quality. Few of them even have meaningful choices, let alone within...

    Avengers: The Down Side Of Up

    You know he was playing devil's advocate, right? Despite saying you doubt it will have many negatives, you seem awfully cynical lol. Also, no executive will ever use Scott Pilgrim as a palette for success, it was a box office failure. Edit: ^ this

    Is gaming dead for you?

    Lol I love threads like these, people get so worked up. OT: No, I just wish there was the same level of innovation going on as back in the mid to late 90s and early 2000s. This isn't really a problem with the industry, but more of a symptom from the recession back in 2008/9. For instance, I...

    I hate Dark Knight Rises *SPOILERS*

    Well, I actually enjoyed this movie. Sure it had some stupid parts, but they were in general few and far between. Did they bother me? Yes. Am I going to let it ruin the rest of the otherwise very good film? No. Trying to discredit dissenting opinions is often pointless, especially when neither...

    What is the last book you finished, and what did you think of it?

    In exactly the same position, only I'm about a third way through AFfC. Storm of Swords has easily been my favorite so far, although all the books are great. Hopefully Martin will finish the series before the show catches up lol.

    How Many of Your Favourite Films Pass "the Bechdel Test"?

    Lol a lot of people are getting way to worked up over this. Simply put, who cares if your favorite movie doesn't pass? What's more important is how few movies actually DO manage to pass. It isn't indicative of anyone in particular nor does it make anyone sexist, but it shines an interesting...

    Worst thing you've ever tasted?

    Defeat! More in line with food items, although I feel that is a legitimate answer, potato salad. I dislike mayonnaise, but can handle it in small quantities, but when that's all something is, it leads to bad things for me. Incidentally, I'm in japan atm where about 30% of all food...

    Your greatest failure in a game. (Pokemon related)

    When I was still attempting nuzlockes my greatest failure, and arguably greatest success, was being bested by Lance, the champion in Soul Silver. My strategy was to use Dragon Dance Gyarados (level 47 or so), which up until that point, could easily 0HKO (one hit kill) everything the league had...

    Which archetype RPG class would you be in real life?

    Honestly, I don't know. I prefer the direct approach to problems, but I'm not particularly bulky, which essentially screws the core trinity as it were. Probably some kind of magical knight who sneaks around, what can I say I don't have an easily definable persona or set of skills. If I got to...

    Poll: Is treating women in Gentlemanly way Sexist?

    Here is an interesting comparison whenever I see people talking about how treating subset of humanity X, if we treated everyone equally, what would happen to the mentally disabled? If treating people differently is wrong, what happens when different people NEED to be treated differently. Basing...

    Poll: Jim sterling VS Extra credits

    I vote EC, for the poll. First thing I noticed about the thread is how everyone feels talked down to by EC, which doesn't actually have anything to do with what the poll says. While I 'kinda' like Jim, he is VERY opinionated and impartiality is important in serious discussion. He is also rather...

    What is your favorite TV show currently on the air?

    Adventure Time Justified Game of Thrones Community Justified is probably the most consistently good though, both Adventure Time and Community have hit and miss episodes, and the set up episodes for GoT leave me wanting more (this last episode is a good example).

    Poll: Could you really give up on Bioware?

    Where's the 'I did a while ago' option? Frankly, while Bioware does ultimately make some decent games, but none of their stories outshine parallels from a variety of other mediums, and their gameplay is always subpar when compared to similar games. I stopped caring about Bioware after I...

    If you could have only one drug.

    Tylenol FOREVER Although I really mean acetaminophen, people picking things that aren't medicinal will have a fun time with illness. Perhaps this is my pick since I had chronic migraines as a kid, so I know the value of painkillers. Edit: Penicilline for the planet, although idk if that...

    Video Game Character You Associate Most With?

    Patches the Hyena, I'm not 100% sure why, but I absolutely love that character. Its probably because I'd act very similar to him when put in the same situation, and his dialogue is great, which is something I can appreciate.
