THIS is why I think [insert topic here] is awesome.

[Macgyvercas]

Apologies if this is a repeat topic, but I was rushed and didn't have time to use the search bar.

Anyway, on topic. We all have things that we think are awesome. But the question I have is why. Why do you think the awesome things you like are awesome?

One of the awesome things I like is Kevin Butler, and this video shows why (especially the ending).

Spoiler

So go on and tell me. There are no wrong answers. Why are the awesome things you like awesome?

Have at it, Escapists!

***NOTE***
If someone thinks something is awesome and you don't think it is, please refrain from flaming. Feel free to have friendly discussion about it, but don't get nasty. Thank you.

And finally, I think the Escapist is awesome because it lets me annoy my friends without them punching me!

That's why the internet in general is awesome. Anonymity rocks, just don't abuse it.

I think my 0.4 fine point pen is pretty awesome, because it makes nice clean lines that are just the right thickness.
My duct tape is awesome because...yeah it's on my desk so it's awesome. Yes I'm getting kind of desperate.
And Vyvyan is awesome because he ate a television [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EqG4ysu2ksU].

My duct tape is awesome because...yeah it's on my desk so it's awesome. Yes I'm getting kind of desperate.

Doesn't matter. As I said, there are no wrong answers.

And duct tape is awesome regardless of what reason you give.

I think Bioshock 2 is awesome because it extends the story of Bioshock and is generally more fun IMO.

I think Crazy Train is awesome because of the skillful guitar of Randy Rhoads (who got taken too early).

I think Skinny Puppy are awesome because... I don't actually know why, I just love 'em.

Kevin Butler is such the man!

I think Them Crookes Vultures are awesome because each 1/3 is awesome.

 

[Gralian]

I think boobs are awesome.
Someone had to, right?

I think 4chan is awesome, because the memes spawned from there have had a lasting impact in mainstream and non-mainstream media.

I think Neil Patrick Harris is awesome, because Dr. Horrible's Sing-along blog is the most awesome small-time "project" ever.

I think the internet is awesome for bringing the world together.

 

[Blue Musician]

I think Silent Hill 4 is awesome because it has a great story.

 

[Ray De Ation]

Klezmer music is awesome because it was the basis of jazz.

 

[Harlemura]

I think Wet's awesome because it was a massive reminder that crap stories, graphics, characters or whatever can be entirely excused if the game's fun.
And holy smokes, is it fun.

so this is a topic about topics?

OT: i love half life becouse it had a early start for graphics and unorthodox storytelling instead of generic *bad guys here, shoot them* and made a excellent puzzle, rpg, fps, adventure

 

[Griphphin]

TES:Oblivion is awesome because there are so many places and landmarks to explore, and the overworld's got so much love put into it that it's fun to just wander around. I'll take that time-consuming walk from Anvil to Bruma instead of fast-traveling.

I think the internet is awesome for putting so much information at our fingertips.

 

[Macgyvercas]

I think I'm awesome because I managed to forget it was my best friends birthday today.

That must have been embaressing.

I still owe you a funny picture, don't I?

That must have been embaressing.

I still owe you a funny picture, don't I?

Very.

Nope. Hub's did your job for you.

NOW GET BACK TO WORK

I'll do better than that. I'll posted why work is awesome.

Work is awesome because I get 8 bucks an hour for mildly strenuous work.

 

[Kollega]

I think that Lombaxes are awesome because they are fluffy and cuddly, very inventive engineers, because they travel through space and have armaments larger than Empire State Building... really, they're awesomeness personified.

I think that Just Cause 2 is awesome because when you see snowy mountains in the distance, you can actually go there and climb them!

 

[Macgyvercas]

so this is a topic about topics?

That wasn't my original idea, but that's an interesting (and surprisingly accurate) way of looking at it.
