Wow, there are a surprising number of people taking this opportunity to voice racist/sexist/otherwise bigoted views. Also a lot of anti-bacon sentiment.

My unpopular opinion is that Half-Life isn't a good game.
Can you elaborate? Half-Life is kinda a big deal, its effect on the genre is pretty much objective. Yeah, its aged a bit, but for its time it was fantastic
I am aware of its effects on FPS storytelling at large, but I just don't find it fun. Also, I should make it clear that I'm talking about Half-Life 2, as I've never played the first.
Believe me, my problem isn't that it's aged, considering that I still like the original Deus Ex. The gunplay just feels way too standard, the health system is my least favorite kind (first aid scavenging is not my thing), and the setting was boring and ugly for the most part. The gravity gun was a nice touch, though.

I can see why others might like it, but I just can't stand that game.
This is more or less my opinion of Half-life 2. I can see the effect it has had on the FPS genre, but by itself, I just dont find it that entertaining.

Dubstep is awful.

You're sick for not liking bacon.

Most TV isn't funny.

Bronies are closet cases, there's nothing wrong with being queer, but it's healthier to be forthright about it.

Did someone really just say Minecraft is overlooked? Boring to be certain, but quite prolific.

Half Life 2 was overrated, the first one is gold.

Most anime is crap because no one can empathize with teenagers.

Now here's a real bad one; in the U.S., Mexicans have turned back the clock for blue collar jobs by lowering labor costs and acceptable conditions, and they're shoddy carpenters.

Oh, boy. I get to say things that I think make me special...just like I did in the other thread!

- I believe ancient people were not nearly as stupid as a lot of modern people seem to think.

- Pulp Fiction is a bloated, schizophrenic mess
- Quentin Tarantino has never made even a decent movie out of those I have seen (Includes the following: Pulp Fiction, True Romance, Kill Bill vol I and II, Inglorious Basterds)
- Fight Club is obnoxious and pretentious (David Fincher is still a good director and all)
- I also hate Avatar

- Batman Forever on the SNES is not all that bad, I'd call it decent but monotonous and long
- Piracy and modding are a good way to keep a console's/game's legacy going after they have been abandoned. Just look at the Dreamcast!
- Playstation 2 controllers feel cheap and gummy to me, like the buttons will stick at any moment.

- Bullying is not the biggest problem in America (I don't know if demonizing bullies is still a trend. I might be a year late)
- Fist Fighting the Bully is the best thing to do if ignoring him/her doesn't work

People need to stop looking for reasons to be offended at everything
Also, most of what this gentleman said. Especially the quote above.

That's about all i got. I used my others in the Video Game specific thread.
