More games should leave a horrifying, lasting imprint. If the next CoD or Battlefield game manages to traumatize me as much as the knife scene in Saving Private Ryan it'll be 10/10.

Nah they're just taking a page from youtube. Anyone else find it a bit weird for youtube to have a #proudtocreate thing the other day right after a bunch of anti lgbt ads started showing up on channels who were lgbt? Especially after their "just remove the ad if you don't like it" response.

Isn't that the point? By making references that most people get but presenting them as "secret & obscure" knowledge you are making most of the audience feel special, it's a cynical thing to do but it doesn't means it's not effective.

Thats whats really annoying me about politics on the internet. Remember that school shooter game that was on steam? Someone made a post on it saying "please don't take it down we NEED this game to own the SJWs". Its NEEDED. It is a necessity for that person to buy a, lets be honest, lovely game just to go "lol owned". Owned I say, as I buy a buggy rear end game. Wrecked I murmur as I buy an asset flip that replaces the zombie model with anita sarkessian. Triggered I call out as I change my auto deposit form to deposit straight into jordan's bank account. loving murked, I shout to the heavens as I use my house as collateral to fund SJW Slaughtering Grounds. Owned I say as the police forcibly vacate me from my house. Triggered I say as I manage to get a dollar in my tin can and mail it to davis. Owned owned owned are my final thoughts as I pass on in the gutter.

What does Boogie even do on the internet? The only thing I've seen of him is a video of him opening toys while complaining that his ex-wife wouldn't have sex with him and that's why they divorced. Then a song came on that reminded him of her and he started crying. I thought it was a really poetic look at the average white male nerd in 2018.

Does he actually just make money by talking about how there's good people on both sides and we just need to be nice to bigots until they stop killing people? That's wild.

I feel like trying to steer clear of politics and political discussion is difficult nowadays. Current events have a habit of trickling down into discussions of other things.

Especially when you get people coming after you and demanding you present your political views. I dunno if it was last thread or the one before that where some guy came charging at me, demanding to know who I voted for in 2016 and started accusing me of working a computer engineering job or something like that.


If that person is reading this, buddy, I wish I was this strawman of yours that had a computer engineering job cause that means I don't work at a crappy discount grocery store and would make enough money to not live in a ghetto where I've been broken into twice in the span of a year.

i've always found companies alienating their existing fanbase in some attempt to gain more customers fascinating. has it ever worked??

Sure, CoD! Remember when CoD first came out and it was all about showing you the history of WW2 in a way that WASN'T in an American front? I remember my mind being loving blown, I played a lot of Medal of Honor but those games were basically you were in France fighting Nazis or you were on a Pacific island fighting the Japanese. Then CoD came out and it was like whaaa, Russians were in WW2? The British were in WW2?! Whaaat, I thought WW2 was just Americans, Germans and Japanese!

yes yes I know I was taught in school about other factions in WW2 and yes I know WW stands for WORLD war and as such there were multiple belligerents during that time.

Then CoD threw out all historical significance and fully went into the pro mlg kdr 1v1 me bruh crowd and its a cash train that has yet to derail.

Story of World: You are chasing after a monster that causes a cataclysm. It hangs out on an island. To help you kill this bigger monster, you kill smaller monsters and make gear and equipment out of their bodies, mine the ore and gather the herbs. Because it takes for god drat ever to sail from your home continent and as such there is no constant supplies coming in. In fact supplies are so short that the ships you arrive in are expected to be deconstructed and the materials recycled to help build necessities. And a concern for performing a massive attack on said cataclysmic monster is the fact that supplies are so short and they'll be screwed if the plan doesn't succeed.

No you don't understand. Your character, who is the player, who is most likely an American as Americans make up a sizable amount of the gaming population (imperialist), come onto a mass of land that isn't your homeland (invasion). While on this land and making camp (occupying) you go out and gather ores and herbs (exploiting resources) and kill sentient life (genocide)

Hey I actually got something besides shitposting today: Doug Walker! No wait, come back! He made a video on Fox Kids, I decided to give it a chance as I liked his Disney Afternoon one. loving wack man, the Nostalgia Critic making a video about something actually nostalgic?!

Now I haven't watched any of his stuff since... uh, I guess the Disney Afternoon video. His intro is freaking 37 second long now? Then we cut to basically a full minute of Doug snoring while the camera zooms in on his cohost's faces while random noises are played out. More skits till the 2 minute mark and he... explains the concept of Saturday mornings? Did he just admit that his viewers are no longer people wanting nostalgic stuff? The Fox Kids stuff doesn't fire off until 4 minutes in... after playing the intro to Fox Kids while cutting to Doug and Co dancing.

Also I swear to god the audio mixing sounds jacked in this, I don't mean from the 80s/90s clips. I mean from Doug and Co, its like they're moving their heads between each side of the mic while talking. They suddenly get louder in one ear, you know how at the start of Crazy Train Ozzy goes "aye aye aye" and it alternates between the left and right channel? Its like that. He's been doing this for a decade, c'mon son.

Well see, all SJWs are pussies, as you can't say anything mildly racist without them being offended. With this game that uses some fourth edition home rules version of DnD you can enjoy block chain mining that only benefits the creator as you have to sign a waiver to hand all notbitcoins to the creator.

With dark and gritty stuff like "friendship" and "kindness" being low powered words meanwhile "kike" and "friend of the family" are high power words.

Re: Work and social media. You know how California legalized marijuana? Lot of people celebrated. On facebook. With pictures of them hitting the bong.

Next day they show up to work and get told to take a drug test. Then get fired for having weed in their system. Also people who are prescribed weed can still be fired for having it in their system.
