Anyone remember this gem? Microsoft coming back to the PC gaming scene would be the very worst kind of HELL.

I'm a minority and here's a hint: We arn't Pokemons for you to collect. Neither do we suddenly appear to you like animals of the forest in a Disney cartoon, because you think you're being "nice" to us on the internet.

Hehe yeah, a 2 hour long version of the infamous "Razor Wire Maze" scene from the movie "Saw" comes to mind (If you don't know what I mean, it's on youtube, I'm not sure I can link it here because it's pretty violent, obviously xD). Yup and that also makes a good point about things making...

Cool :) Although now that's out of the way, I agree with your point about classics (and horror movies) not being immune to stupid, but I disagree with your given examples and I believe you could've done much better. For example, in Alien... I'd just love to know if the scriptwriters have...

It's a weird thing and not uncommon with Ridley Scott movies. He tends to sacrifice plot-filling scenes in order to improve the pacing or shorten the length of the movie. Have you seen Kingdom of Heaven? Specifically the scene where the Queen goes completely crazy with grief, and seems...

Come now, there's no need to say that, I'm not trying to "Fix" a "wrong" opinion on the internet here. Just giving another perspective. My opinion was that Prometheus was confusing at every level and disappointing. Although fair warning, don't get me started on AVP, especially the sequel...

I don't know if you've actually watched the original Alien or Aliens, but somehow they managed to get the ball rolling without doing ridiculous things. Just compare to Alien 1: 1)Falling close to some weird egg by mistake isn't shoving your face intentionally into a creepy "WTF-snake"...

Bringing the thread back on topic: Social Justice Troll Fire-Mage.

That's actually a pretty accurate assessment of it, yeah. My point with that was to present a counter example to those cases you mentioned, one where people didn't have the "guts" (or willing enough to give up on their morals, I guess) to cross-examine the kids properly. The judge in the Outreau...

I'm not American, so don't be surprised that I hadn't seen these examples. Thanks for bringing me up to speed. Disclaimer: I'm taking these articles you linked at face value. Article 1: The 30 day sentence part is scandalous and I can totally relate to how revolted people were. I'm not...

I'm not familiar with Ayn Rand, but this does not prove that all academics can only communicate through convoluted arguments of semantics. Nor does it prove that college education is responsible. Somehow, Jet planes are built without people philosophising wether crashing said aircraft would be a...

And you actually believe that excuse? If anything, the entire point of higher studies is to be able to come out knowing how to express one-self coherently and concisely. Nor does that explain how common that line of thinking is...

Sorry but what the hell is that suppose to mean? Are these black people less credible because they're not academics? Or are you saying that academics over-think things to the point of being needlessly antagonistic? Because MLK was one and somehow the civil rights movement didn't devolve into...

In this case, I don't think you can say that people are "supposed" to focus on anything other than THE EMBOLDENED AND UNDERLINED PART OF A SIGN POST WRITTEN IN CAPITAL LETTERS, HELD UP OVER A LARGE CROWD, MENTIONING ONE OF SOCIETIES MOST EXTREME AND HEAD-TURNING CRIMES LIKE MURDER AND...

Fair enough, although: 1) The megathread wasn't "a good idea", it's just one of many #GG threads that popped up all over the net in a panic during the "Great Forum Culling", like the 30.000 comment deletion of TotalBiscuits reddit when he mentioned how bad youtube copyright take-downs are if...
