It's a bit more complicated than that, but enhanced interrogation techniques [http://www.amnestyusa.org/our-work/issues/death-penalty/us-death-penalty-facts/death-penalty-cost] during Operation Iraqi Freedom.[/footnote]gmaverick019 said:i just need to see these figures, say a man is 30 when he murders someone, he roughly has 50 years left to just rot in jail taking up space/food/time/tax money(don't prisons get paid by tax money? if i'm not mistaken? at least some.) of everyone around him, how does giving him a quick volt of electricity or sleep medicine cost more than that? I'm just saying i would like to see figures before i believe something such as that.
To be fair, that is the state of anime these days, pandering to a demographic that like that shit (read: Otakus). Seriously, what modern animes I can enjoy, have at least one moment of pandering or retardation.Togs said:Ive yet to see an anime that wasnt kitsch, ridiculous and childish.
You sir, are completely and 100% correct thank you, that is allTU4AR said:Also Natalie Portman is always hot.
I like water levels. I think they're a great opportunity for foreboding, dank, mirky, creepy atmospheres, as well as tropical paradise-y levels. Having to dive 100 feet down to free Clanker was one of the scariest and most memorable moments of Banjo-Kazooie, and swimming out into Snacker the shark's waters to save the Jinjo always made me clench my toes.BigEvilTurtle said:Honestly, my post was subterfuge to get someone to prove me wrong. I really do hate water levels, though.Nick Stackware said:I don't think that's a very unpopular opinion. Water levels can go burn in the fiery pits of hell. The idea for a water level isn't even that great. Water slows you down and kills you if you're in it long enough. THAT DOES NOT MAKE FOR FUN TIMES. GAAHH!BigEvilTurtle said:Every water level ever is the worst level in every game ever.
EVERY. ONE. EVER.
Sorry about the rant on water levels.
OT: A lot of spin-offs/sequels aren't that bad
God doesn't exist (Not very unpopular on here but where I live it's unheard of)
Consoles are actually really awesome, on par with PC in most respects.

Water also provides a great source of physics puzzles. Everyone always hates the water temple, but I kinda liked it save for the constant pausing and unpausing, and I especially think the one from Majora's Mask is fantastic.
Mario Galaxy made swimming much easier and more enjoyable by essentially turning koopa shells into one of those battery powered personal propulsion handhelds that I've seen divers use.....and your avatar! I thought the water level inside Bowser was great!
Huh.....maybe I just found my unpopular opinion.
You sir are a genius! Couldn't agree more. Brotherhood felt completely rushed and was just a needless add on. If they hadn't of wasted their time on brotherhood and possibly revelations, then we could of had a proper sequel, which genuinely would have worked. But now it appears ubisoft are just wasting what could have been a great series with what should just be add-ons.Prince Rhys said:I'll do....10.
Assassin's Creed 2 started it and Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood both crapped all over the originality of the first game and now they've turned the series into an EA Sports franchise.
Done.
