why so serious?

[broadband]

ok, sorry for the bad pun but honestly, ive seen a lot of discusions here with serious and controversial themes, and honestly, i consider the forums of places like this like a way to express our geekiness, but then, we have discussions about politics, abortion, and that kind of stuff.

well i dont know of what im trying to say here.

It is the election, it is driving every one nucking futz.

 

[reaper_2k9]

yea there have been way to many serious topics started lately and its been a bit of a downer. lets all kick back and talk about the most random lighthearted things you can think of.

I'm so serious because my goddamn printer isn't working. Piece of crap.

There are gaming specific forums around here. But some people simply like to discuss(get the chance to argue) about more serious Issues.

It's off-topic discussion.

I would count Abortions and Religion as Off-Topic.

But I am honestly getting sick of them, I think some of it is to do with the fact that such topics get the most attention, so it's really our fault for posting in the damn things, even if it is just to complain.

OK, how about the Serious Sam game series (oh the irony).

What pun?

It's not really a pun, more like referential humor. The title of this thread is a nod to a line repeated by the Joker in The Dark Knight.

Allow me to give you a simple reference guide detaling how to spot someone after badges:

• 
  1)The op claims they want a discussion or to compare opinions on a controversial topic and then doesn't post again ever in the thread.
  2)The opening post is vague or asks several questions
  3)A post is the same as a current one thats doing well view/reply-wise or one that has previously done well in these respects

Please note this list is not exclusive.
However from your post count I would guess you knew this already especially since you have been here 11 months suggesting to my paranoia clouded brain that you are also after badges in your own way.

I like them serious business topics. It pulls me from /reich/ and /pol/ long enough to interact with people here. Whenever there's a lull in the intellectual debate, the chan's start to sing their siren song.

Yes, not a pun. Just overused by people who think they can deliver it. It's become more annoying than people saying "fail" at anything they don't like.

ah i see, but i won a badge without making a serious topic, the only one i would be a bit interested to get would be the neo one. (matrix fan)

Keep making threads like this and it's gonna be a while before you get that.

The Iron Ninja hits the problem on the head with cooking tools, so to speak. Anyway the other forum seems to be what you're looking for, any other forum.

Why all the hate on serious threads?

 

[fluffylandmine]

EDIT: I found a short way of saying all that- Keep being good people, don't be as serious, don't complain, etc.

Apologies abound for the inflamatory way I worded it before

 

[mr mcshiznit]

I'm just really tired of the why all the hate on(insert faith here) topics. Or the love (political persons here) Topics. I personally like the whats your desktop look like stuff, what do you look like threads, and just generally off topic funny threads.

Are they any good?
I always thought they were kids games

Nice.

As for badge-seekers...

Badge-seeking should be idle, unless it's the Matrix-themed ones, then you should actively try to not become exempt from them, but never to just get that many posts for the badge.

Personally, I really want that Morpheus badge. I want to go fucking gonzo and not have been banned once. 'Cause I'm like that and such. The Neo badge, though, with my posting style, will probably be long, long into the future, well after one of the various apocalypses.

It's the end-times.

(Yet another slightly rambly post, it seems. I'm not doing too well tonight.)

Yeah, of course they're kids games, what with their mature ratings, guns, explosives, and enemies that explode into meaty chunks when you kill them.

Serious Sam 2 just had a "cartoony" look. The earlier games, took place in more realistic places (mostly ancient civilizations).

I personaly, love the franchise, so much pointless violence, and Sam has his own one liners, instead of stealing all of them, like Duke Nukem.
