Opinions you have that most people don't agree with.

Gandhi was a incitior and war criminal.
He only protested when japan was threatening to invade india. He was trying to get india to fight with the axis during wwII. When brittian said they will grant india indepedence after the war he still protested, while the english saved india from the japanese.

The nuke gave japan an honorable way to surrender. Truman didn't know the power of the bomb until it was dropped. (he just got in office)

It's stupid and sexist. Don't 'irony' or 'satire' me, this is just being stupidly immature and sexist for the sake of being stupidly immature and sexist. It's not satirizing the sexist nature of the games industry or of pop culture in general, it's just celebrating it.

Of course it's celebrating it. Joking about various unacceptable things is a core part of humour.

Q: How do you get a blonde out of a tree?
A: Wave.

Q: Why can't women drive?
A: Because there's no road between the kitchen and the bedroom.

Q: How are husbands like lawn mowers?
A: They're hard to get started, they emit noxious odors, and half the time they don't work.

Q: Did you hear about the Irish abortion clinic?
A: It has a 12 month waiting list.

Sexism, sexism, racism and, ummm, hair-ism. And yet I know that, if I were to tell all those jokes next time I had dinner with the family, only the second would get any "Ooooooh, that's a bit rude..." responses. Humour relating to discrimination is everywhere, there's no reason to get offended just because it happened to be about misogynism rather than one of the million other kinds.

Think about it another way:
Which do you think is more offensive and shocking? A game all about just smacking around black stereotypes or a game about fighting and killing in a war against zombies?

Neither. Well, that's not entirely true - I'd be shocked if the former made it past the PC brigade and actually hit the shelves, but I wouldn't have a problem with it. They're both perfectly fine as long as people grow up and stop taking everything so damn seriously. Oh no, someone's killing zombies. Oh no, someone's saying mean things about black people. How dare they. You can either take offense and storm off in a huff or laugh it off and take it as a joke, the way it was obviously supposed to be interpreted. Unless you're saying that DNF is an evil plot by a secret anti-women evil corporation to turn all men into misogynists by means of superliminal messaging.

oh god, this post made my day and i couldn't agree more.

i hadn't heard of that lawn mower one before..that was pretty funny hearing that for the first time.

I like Sonic. He's good again. Don't believe me? This is why Colors was one of my favorite games in 2010:

The platforming was actually fun.
The voice cast was AWESOME!
The visuals were amazing.
It was actually pretty funny without being cheesy.
Sonic got a badass refresher after decaying for so long.

And now I'm hyped for Generations.

I love fanfiction, even though most of it really is bad.

And I'm a HUGE shipper, even though I am a guy.

 

[AudienceOfOne1]

Valve. I don't hate them or anything but I do hate the fanboys who are just fucking annoying.

I think Ed Harris is a kick ass actor.

People who believe in God, and the fluffy afterlife, are going to be highly disappointed.

George Carlin should have been president from 1972 ( his first big appearance ) to....when he died in 2008.

People who act violently towards someone, then get then shit kicked out of them for it and act surprised about it. Well where does the "surprise" part come in? Good, I hope your jaw got shattered. Americans have zero clue what a real fight is.

The Twilight books need to be burned.

Marriage is over rated.

Being equal and feminist views are NOT equal. If you want to be equal, then on the job bosses can take you into a room and scream/swear at you for your piss poor performance and you cannot make and HR complaint about it and cry.

While I like firing guns, I think their regulation should be 100x stricter and far more uniform across state lines.

Other than the women, "the south" sucks.

 

[Anti Nudist Cupcake]

God exists. Jesus was the son/offspring/part or God. The Bible is almost completely wrong.

Beat that.

Christians and Atheists hate me.

In fact, I agree.

 

[PneumaticSuicide]

Graveyards are a waste of space. Corpses should be donated to science, ground up and used as fertilizer or animal feed, or otherwise disposed of in the cleanest and cheapest way possible. It has ceased to be a person, its just rotting meat, why does it need its own piece of land for year and years to come?

Surprisingly, most people don't agree with me. Odd, eh?

Completely agree, i wanna be thrown into a volcano

 

[artanis_neravar]

I believe that
Star Wars would not be better if Sean Connery did the voice of Darth Vader
Neil Patrick Harris is in the top 5 best actors ever, quite possibly number 1
Eddie Izzard is the best comedian ever
Ender's Game would make a horrible movie
the Twlight books were not nearly as bad as everyone makes them out to be

Twilight was awful (i read them, because i wanted to know what all the hype was about.) the writing was awful and the story was about a girl who needed a man to do everything for and to be happy! thats terrible!! it does a disservice to all the strides women have taken to receive better parity.

My god it's a book written for 13 year olds, get over yourself, the writing was not bad it was very engaging, and yes the plot and characters weren't that good, but that's because it was written for a 13 year old audience. And guess what, there are people out there who do require someone else to be happy, it's just one of the billions of personalities out there, it is not "disservice to all the strides women have taken to receive better parity", because guess what, she makes all of her own choices, in fact she makes the biggest choice all on her own against the objections of everyone else.

- I am against sending aid to war torn, poverty ridden, disaster-struck areas of the world. My tax dollars is going there? ...why wasn't I allowed to decide on this?

- We need to make the action aspect of games a lesser component and not the main point behind the game. Imagine the fun of a Halo, Gears of War, et...where you just have to evade the enemy for a good portion of time, have a very limited amount of ammunition, and have to choose who is and isn't shot sparingly.

I think that's about it.

I don't get it? Do you believe in God and Jesus but think the Bible is wrong?

 

[Feste the Jester]

1*0 = 2*0
0=x
1x = 2x
1=2

I can 'prove' it, that doesn't make it true.

But you didn't prove it. You used illogical math.

Even if you wanted some hypothetical value for it, each would be infinitely large, not 1 and 2.

lim 2/x = ∞
x->0

lim 1/x = ∞
x->0

 

[Feste the Jester]

You can always place a number between 2 numbers, always
and for number 2 going by your math
10x-x=9x
9.5-.5=9
therefore .5=1
your logic is completely flawed because
9x.99999 is 8.999991

Well the problem there is that if 10x = 9.5, then x = 0.95, not 0.5.

therefore

10x - x = 9x

9.5 - .95 = 8.55

9x = 8.55

0.95 = 0.95

Yeah ignore the first part of that, the second part is the important part, that shows that your math is completely wrong

Is there any practical application to this? Even if its logically a proof, is this information useful? Example, if you have a solution that is 99.99% water and the remaining .01% is Ricin. That glass of 'water' will kill you and the glass of 100% will not, even though they are apparently equal.

 

[repeating integers]

Role playing games should not have voice acting for your own characters at all.

You relate much better to a game avatar if they aren't voiced, you feel more like YOU are the one the game is talking to, not some pre-voiced avatar. The system used for dialog should be like that of Fallout 3, Fallout new vegas, kotor 1, kotor 2 and dragon age: origins, which is to say you decide from a list of sentences/responses.

You might.

OT: I love Halo. I like Half-Life (2). I think the former is superior to the latter, but hey, whatevs.

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest is the best of the series.

Assuming that we're talking about this forums' general opinion, Avatar was an awesome movie. It's the only movie I ever saw twice in cinemas.

I see nothing wrong with other people.

I am an optimist and am firmly convinced it is a far healthier viewpoint to have than the pessimistic viewpoints held by many on this forum. It means I get a lot more enjoyment out of life, certainly.

*looks at a few posts in the rest of the thread* OK, and evidently I need to clarify that culling the elderly is not OK, and Hitler made some totally fucking stupid and evil decisions, to put it mildly.

The more complicated and convoluted a plot is, the more I'm likely to enjoy it. I love it when there's a whole mess of plot threads going on, with lots of different sides all setting up their own plans only for them to interact with each others' in unexpected ways... so long as everything is resolved properly.

He was pointing out the flaw in my math but the second part of mine is still correct
10*.9999-.9999=x
9.999-.9999=8.9991
9*.9999=8.9991
9=/=8.9991
