Question about pic topics.

[chunkydude84]

Can we have one with genuinely interesting and/or awesome pics with some meaningful discussion behind them, or are we doomed to have walls of wet cats, photoshoped Obama,or other equally retarded images?

I say both but pic topics are usually not allowed here.

Anything specific you had in mind for a thread about pictures that has discussion value?

Most of them get locked within the first few posts anyway, so it doesn't really matter.

I believe anything is possible - it's just that it generally devolves into photos with no actual meaning being posted. Or something of that nature.
Again - anything is possible, but they just never usually inspire any discussion.

Threads are to be discussion based, not topics where you go "cool pick bro"

Well, I suck at explaining things, but here goes nothing.

Spoiler: Example pic

What I love about this image is wile that monster is getting jacked up smack middle of a city, only one guy actually seems to give a shit. Are the locals that desensitized or is the lone guy imagining the situation? Not to mention it just looks awesome.

Yeah, like everybody else is saying, they're pretty much useless here. 'The Artist Within Thee' being the only decent one. But that's not exactly a pic topic.

I suppose its possible to create a thread where you post a picture and explain what you like about it; that could promote discussion. Its just that most picture threads are little more then: here's a picture, (insert one sentence here usually about how awesome/funny the picture is.) Picture threads tend not generate that much discussion. On a side note, that type of situation bothers me in games. Where you could just start shooting your gun and no one notices.
