Why stuff you like is really quite shit

[Professor Smarmiarty]

In this thread, people say their favourite things and then everybody else explains why they are awful. Or you guys post a bunch of awful stuff that you like and then I call you horrible human beings. However it goes.

My favourite thing is the movie "X the man with X-ray eyes", a thrilling yet cautionary tale about hubris and the limits of endeavour, the thirst for knowledge and the terrible horrors that come with quenching that thirst.

I'm a terrible human being, who is drunk half the time, is unshaven, unwashed, being a dick to people to see what happens.
There are no features that I possess, physical, mental or social in me, that would ground this decision of yours except in the most horrible of tastes.

[Seil]

Hi, I'm Seil. You all know what I like.

[The Artist Formerly Known as Hawk]

Well played Odjn, I like this thread already.

Hi, I'm Seil. You all know what I like.

Le sigh.

You know what, fuck it. I ain't even gona try to start with you, we all know everything you like is awful, let's just leave it at that eh?

[Magic_Marker]

My name's Magic_Marker and, I like to party.

[TIME BOMB]

im gonna say something so awesome that i dont think anybody can run this into the ground: creed.

[Marc v4.0]

I like Minecraft

[Flarecobra]

<_<

I liked Star Trek Enterprise.

[Daimo Mac, The Blue Light of Hope]

I like Final Fantasy...
And a couple of Linkin Park Songs
And the Dark Knight

[Token]

I like Ke$ha, A Very Potter Musical, and hating you. :3

[Bard The 5th LW]

All of those things suck because you all like them.

I like Bleach! :) Best manga ever! mirite

[krogothwolf]

I like watching midgets wrestle.

[The Sevenshot Kid]

I like Say Anything, the band but the movie too. I also love the Street Fighter movie for obvious reasons.

[Ecks]

All of those things suck because you all like them.

I like Bleach! :) Best manga ever! mirite

I concur.

I also happen to like Final Fantasy (XIII is awesome, sorry greed), Pokemon, Metallica, Tenacious D, Brutal Legend, Metal Gear Solid and a whole shit load of things other people seem to think is totally lame.

Fuck 'em. If I like it, it must be awesome.

[Grimpond]

I like OtakuSon, he's a prty kuul guy amirite

[RobinStarwing]

For seriousness (and no one can argue against it) I like Firefly/Serenity

I also like Pardus, a web browser MMO (http://www.pardus.at/)

I linked it so you guys can go look at it and than try and diss it.

[Donomni]

Naruto, in a mostly unironic matter.

Of course, the main reason I've been reading the manga itself hasn't been touched on in a whole damn year, so it may be turned partly ironic oh wait nuclear-ish explosion got teleported by an awesome dude nevermind.

[Kyanbu The Legend]

Yugioh 5Ds

It's practically a 30 minute commercial for new cards/sets now (on it's 3rd season at the moment).

[synkr0nized]

No one seems to be posting along the OP's guidelines.

Yugioh is terrible, but you seem to already know that and why. It's a seemingly never-ending series of the same fight so that some dude can ACTIVATE HIS TRAP CARD and make numbers add and subtract from other numbers. I guess I'd be able to make a more scathing critique if I'd watch the show.


I don't enjoy picking favourites, save for some cases, but here's something I'd enjoy hearing others rip apart despite liking it: Gundam Wing. (this is in part motivated by having recently put Endless Waltz on to fall asleep to the other night and remembering how ripe for mockery the series is)

[Azisien]

Well this is pretty much um....all adoloescent animes. (And probably some adult ones).

Gundam Wing? Oh it was pretty decent, don't get me wrong, but it really licked some nasty unshaven balls when it came down to having a social life and missing ONE FUCKING EPISODE, at which point you'd be permanently and irrevocably lost in the storyline if you'd not seen it all before. And of course when Toonami was showing it on Cartoon Network, they'd only run certain stretches of the show anyway, so you were never quite sure when or where what began. That, and Hiro's unbelievable obsession with suicides that never really quite happen and blowing up his gundam all the damn time. Srsly? Take the most awe-inspiring mech and blow it up over and over nearly every third episode? Come on now... you never saw the Deathscythe being treated that way. Troa (sp?) had respect for his shit.

And you're totally right about Yugayho. How long is that series gonna go on, anyway? It's getting about as bad as pokemon. It could be worse.. could be like digimon, but nobody cares about them anyway.

So here's some Fifthfiend bait: I really liked Chrono Trigger.

[Professor Smarmiarty]

I'm going to have to mass attack all your tastes- in rapid succession.


im gonna say something so awesome that i dont think anybody can run this into the ground: creed.
Pearl Jam but without the good bits (not that there are many). I don't think you're being serious though.

I like Minecraft
Building shit with cubes... that's very 5 year old kid playing with blocks.


I liked Star Trek Enterprise.
Pretty much they took the worst episodes of the old star trek series and reshot them with a new cast, worse acting, worse writing and hugely hampered by canon. They had to get the oldies in to save the series and it was still a pile of shit.
I like Final Fantasy...
Generic, shallow, predicatble plots, weak characterisations, overuse of grinding as a game lengther- that's pretty much the series as a whole. Also the games are so significantly different it suggests to me as much as someone who says "I like food" - ie no developed palette whatsoever.
And a couple of Linkin Park Songs
Trying to be punk but the only aspect of punk they retain is a complete lack of musicality.
And the Dark Knight
I've covered this one before but in short:
Terrible camera work, action, tremendously scattergun moral messages, gigantic plotholes, characters changing their beliefs/ideas/actions in seconds,, paper-thin plot with all the subtlety of a sledgehammer.

I like Ke$ha, A Very Potter Musical, and hating you. :3
I don't know any of this shit.


I like Bleach! :) Best manga ever! mirite
Japanese are a sociopathic, xenophobic race of crazies and all their work is suitably tainted. Also reliance on wackiness.

I like watching midgets wrestle.
I'm pretty sure that's illegal- obviously illegal things are the product of a sick and devious mind.

I like Say Anything, the band but the movie too.
See Linken Park
I also love the Street Fighter movie for obvious reasons.
Fighting movie without Bruce Lee. Also Ryu can throw fireballs all the time- why didn't he just fireball everyone to death?


I also happen to like Final Fantasy (XIII is awesome, sorry greed), Pokemon, Metallica, Tenacious D, Brutal Legend, Metal Gear Solid and a whole shit load of things other people seem to think is totally lame.

Fuck 'em. If I like it, it must be awesome.
Covered final fantasy, Pokemon replaces crack addiction with flashing light adddiction, Metallica are basically "We think we're metal but we better tone it down so we can sell it to everyone" ie opposite of metal so they are in total 0 music, Tenacious D are- play a simple song, drop some lyrics over it, that shit is what we do at parties and if us useless fucks can do it anybody can, Brutal Legend- oh fuck I'm so metal I'm playing a videogame- see Metallica, Metal Gear Solid- instead of letting you play a game we're going to make you watch an awful awful movie!

I like OtakuSon, he's a prty kuul guy amirite
Before my time, but he was kind of a dick from what I've seen.

For seriousness (and no one can argue against it) I like Firefly/Serenity
Space as wild west oh I've never seen that before.


I also like Pardus, a web browser MMO (http://www.pardus.at/)

I linked it so you guys can go look at it and than try and diss it.
It's from Austria. Have you ever been to Austria? If you had you would know I need to go no more.

Naruto, in a mostly unironic matter.

Of course, the main reason I've been reading the manga itself hasn't been touched on in a whole damn year, so it may be turned partly ironic oh wait nuclear-ish explosion got teleported by an awesome dude nevermind.
See Japan.

Yugioh 5Ds
See Japan



So here's some Fifthfiend bait: I really liked Chrono Trigger.

The plot doesnt intergrate time travel at all- it might as well be set in one time with all the different places being different countries- the endings are mostly quite similiar with only minor differences and it's easy as fuck.


You dudes missed hte point of this thread- you supposed to post good things, things that you like, not awful things.

[Melfice]

I like listening to Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble.

[krogothwolf]

I like Enter the Dragon!

[Professor Smarmiarty]

I like listening to Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble.
George Bush Elder was a big fan of them and they played at his inauguration

A fighting movie without double nunchuck action? Shit!

[Mannix]

I like taking my morning bowel movement in a safe, clean, private environment.

[Terex4]

Things I like:
Final Fantasy VI
Pulp Fiction
Boonedock Saints
Criticizing the American Government even though I refuse to vote because I believe its pointless as our system is broken.
Arguing with people who are deeply rooted in their religious faith.
Tax Season (my wife is a tax nut and I get a huge refund every year)
Cigars
Starcraft
Book Stores
Well made coffee
Coffee with chocolate raspberry creamer and a slice of red velvet cake for breakfast during the colder months.

[Professor Smarmiarty]

I like taking my morning bowel movement in a safe, clean, private environment.

The lack of excitement in your life will lead to your death through low blood pressure. Also oversanitation is actually deadly as fuck.


Things I like:
Final Fantasy VI
Gameplay is simple to break and for a game that is basically packaged on the story the ending is atrociously short, jsut some videoclips of characters running around. Awful.
Pulp Fiction
Hey look, I can sit in the film archive, get a whole lot of old films, splice them together- genius. I will try to put in as little original stuff as possible as those are the worst parts of the movie.
Boonedock Saints
All the recycled garbage of a tarantino movie but without its style.

Criticizing the American Government even though I refuse to vote because I believe its pointless as our system is broken.
Good end result, questionable logic on getting there. So I'll give you a point.

Arguing with people who are deeply rooted in their religious faith.
As Zizek shows us, atheists are the best christians and attempts to argue being religion/atheism are fundamentally flawed and rely on ideas of the 19 century.

Tax Season (my wife is a tax nut and I get a huge refund every year)
So you like starving your fellow worker?
Cigars
Killing you and actual taste is awful.
Starcraft Characters are unlikeable and are poorly written- their action sthrough the game are random and ill-determined.
Book Stores Only good for selling Mills and Boone to bored housewifes and propping up a deluded publishing industry. Real value is found in the hands of your fellow comrades and in direct from the printer purchasing.
Well made coffee A relic of when we needed to show our cultural superiority by stealing other cultures foods.
Coffee with chocolate raspberry creamer and a slice of red velvet cake for breakfast during the colder months. You already said coffee. What the fuck is a creamer and why would you eat velvet. That's stupid.

[Melfice]

George Bush Elder was a big fan of them and they played at his inauguration

Bush is Texan.
Vaughan is Texan.

It stands to reason Bush would like Vaughan's music.
Besides, if Vaughan had said "no", Bush would have shot him.


If that's the best you can do, I've won.

[Professor Smarmiarty]

But, y'know. Explain your criticism then.
Because George Bush is stupid and thinks stupid things and likes stupid things.
People who like the idea of "Texas" or the "USA" and like things because they are from there are also stupid and thus have terrible taste.
Also I'm pretty sure George Bush didn't run around shooting folks.

Apparently having parties is still A-Okay
Oh fuck yeah, I ain't going to siht on that list.

Notice "people" wasn't on my list.
That is merely further confirmation your taste is terrible.

Listening to Smarty is like listening to Seil. No one cares.
Well maybe if people would give me serious suggestions and not terrible joke suggestions. I think parties is the only serious suggestion I've had. And cigars.
I don't think anyone really cares what anyone else thinks in this little online enclave. The moment people start caring about *anything* shit goes down.
Shit went down ages ago. Down to funky town.

We all know you have a giant mancrush on Seil, you don't need to bring it up everytime.

Two nunchucks are better than no nunchucks! This is an indisputable fact!

[Aerozord]

ok, how about a real challenge. I like, this (http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/19p1)

[walkertexasdruid]

I am sure that you have a whole bunch of things to say about this list:

Dragonlance (As a campaign setting, not so great. The novels, especially The War of the Souls trilogy and the Dark Disciple trilogy, are very good and could definitely stand on their own.)
The original Yu-Gi-Oh! (I have all of the available DVD's except for Capsule Monsters. Who doesn't like a series about a kid who thinks he can save the world by playing a card game?)
Harper's Island (You take a slasher horror movie and turn it into a thirteen part dramatic series which no one else seemed to like. I posted a thread about it and 0 responses. That was the start of my seperate Threadkiller breakdowns, but I am feeling much better now.:eek:)
The Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind (It surely has flaws, such as excessive violence and sex, and it gets preachy towards the end, but overall it was a good series of books. Unfortunately, Goodkind seems to be a one-trick pony, The Law of Nines was basically a rehash of Confessor that takes place in "our" modern world.)
The X-Files (I loved all nine seasons, and the first movie. I was disappointed with I want to Believe, since it was basically a remake of the MST3K classic, The Brain That Wouldn't Die.)
Since we are on that subject, Mystery Science Theater 3000 (Take a guy and two robots, force them to watch horrible movies, and comedy ensues.)

That is all I have for now. ;)

I am sure that you have a whole bunch of things to say about this list:

Dragonlance (As a campaign setting, not so great. The novels, especially The War of the Souls trilogy and the Dark Disciple trilogy, are very good and could definitely stand on their own.)
Fantasy is the shitpile of literature, a reliance on flashy action and crazy magic to distract you from the lack of quality, with races standing in for characterisation and killing the baddy standing in for character development. It's pretty much authors who read the gothic novels and completely missed the point- taking the fantastic and supernatural elements without the greater elements of artisitic and societal criticism.

The original Yu-Gi-Oh! (I have all of the available DVD's except for Capsule Monsters. Who doesn't like a series about a kid who thinks he can save the world by playing a card game?)
The card game as rendered on the videogames is hideously easy to break as in I managed to beat the story fights that you were supposed to lose (he had a stacked deck and cards far better than you could acquire in game).
As for the show- Yugi doesn't save the world tghrough card games, he saves it through some kind of crazy set of magical rituals which involves cards but in no way has any coherency as any form of game. Basically we are witnessing the ramblings of a mental patient but whereas that could be quite good (such as the Cabinet of Dr Caligari) Yugioh pitches the ball too straight in that Yugi's delusions are clearly seperated from his non-delusions (through the medium of card games) thus allowing the viewer perfect knowledge and oncoming boredom.

Harper's Island (You take a slasher horror movie and turn it into a thirteen part dramatic series which no one else seemed to like. I posted a thread about it and 0 responses. That was the start of my seperate Threadkiller breakdowns, but I am feeling much better now.:eek:) [/QUOTE

The Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind (It surely has flaws, such as excessive violence and sex, and it gets preachy towards the end, but overall it was a good series of books. Unfortunately, Goodkind seems to be a one-trick pony, The Law of Nines was basically a rehash of Confessor that takes place in "our" modern world.)
Fantasy- see above.
The X-Files (I loved all nine seasons, and the first movie. I was disappointed with I want to Believe, since it was basically a remake of the MST3K classic, The Brain That Wouldn't Die.) [QUOTE]
Here's the thing about the X-files. After the first episode if you had to guess what it was about you would guess government conspiracy, working with aliens. That is what was hinting at. Then they spend 9 seasons dicking around denying this idea and then, oh wait yes that is exactly what is happening. What the fuck was the point of those 9 seasons again?
[QUOTE] Since we are on that subject, Mystery Science Theater 3000 (Take a guy and two robots, force them to watch horrible movies, and comedy ensues.)
So you actively choose to watch bad movies when you could just watch good movies? This is self-evidently bad taste.



Did I mention I watch action movies and play with dirt while taking my morning bowel movement in a clean, safe, private environment?
I need clarification as to type of action movies, like some examples.

ok, how about a real challenge. I like, this (http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/19p1)
I going to read the Axecop archives before I answer this one. It looks like a good answer though- mostl because to refute it I have to make a 5 year old cry.

[walkertexasdruid]

Good stuff, good stuff.

Since we are tearing down what each of us likes, how about telling us what you like, SMB. I am sure some people on this thread would be happy to tell you what they think of your favorite things.

[Professor Smarmiarty]

X the man with X-ray eyes! See first post!

Re:Axecop and Dr Mcninja
AxeCop is suspiciously close to AxisCop which is basically the gestapo so if you cheering him on you love Nazis.
Dr Mcninja is a product of our corporatised, faceless franchised society (Mcninja indeed. M.C. Ninja would be a different story) which is culturally devoid and thus worthless.

[Aerozord]

X-ray Eyes? seriously? Yea thats never been done before. Whats worse is that no one ever realizes that being able to see X-rays is pointless since THEY DONT PENETRATE THE ATMOSPHERE

[Archbio]

X the man with X-ray eyes!

This film's actual ending is a huge let down compared to the alternate ending that's not in it. I mean, the ending may or may not have ever existed, but just the idea of it makes the real ending look like it's quite shit, relatively.

[Professor Smarmiarty]

Burrrrrrnnnnnnnn.
I also like Rocky 4!!!!
And Ogre Battle

[PyrosNine]

I love everyone, and I love fire!

My love for both at the same time is not mutually exclusive either, as everyone is equally flammable to a degree!

[walkertexasdruid]

Rocky 4? Is that with or without the ridiculus part where Rocky body slams Hulk Hogan?

[Aerozord]

far as I'm concerned Rocky is down hill after the first one. Second is basically remake of the first with a "happy ending" third is just a "other side of the fence" story, fourth is just a propoganda film and 5. I mean I hope I dont have to explain that one.

Rocky 6 of course doesn't exist

[synkr0nized]

ALSO I hang my head in shame as I don't think I got this thread the other day or something. I don't know. Regardless shit posts are bad, my bad.

[Professor Smarmiarty]

fourth is just a propoganda film

If by propaganda film you mean the most effortless summation of an entire genre in a single film, a perfection shorn of frivolous nonsense, a distillation of what is a film in the contemporary sense, of what is necessary and what is not then yes it is just a propaganda film.

I love everyone, and I love fire!

Everyone includes me and Seil. Case closed.
Fire is basically just an explosion for pussies. Harden up.

And you find nothing subliminal about Russians being protrayed as cheating amoral dicks that can only be beaten by good old american hard work... in Siberia. Because we all know the soviet union loved spending tons of money on top of the line equipment.

[BitVyper]

I like secular legal systems.

[bluestarultor]

I like mint chocolate chip ice cream, hot curry, most sushi (including the ginger and wasabi), rice pudding, fried rice, teriyaki chicken, and chevre cheese. Not all in the same meal, mind you, but individually.

[Intern Nin]

I love english muffins with honey and Darwyn Cooke's run on The Spirit.

only one of those things is actually good. And I'm not telling you which

[Magus]

I like hating barrels and sucking up to people.

Also this game called Gemfire I thought it was pretty boss it was on the Nintendo Entertainment System. It was kind of like Ogre Battle except almost nothing like it except it was a strategy game.

Oh, I've been watching Battlestar Galactica lately, it's pretty good. Do that one.

Also Grand Theft Auto.

[RobinStarwing]

Also Grand Theft Auto

Oh boy, let me count this one.

1. Violent and encourages crime by making it a game.
2. Vice City added on by allowing you to get, bang, than kill a prositute all for money.
3. San Andreas Hot Coffee Mod, need I say more?

These are the reason WHY I will never touch this series. It objectifies women and makes crime look fun when it isn't.

Yes. This is my honest opinion of this game series.

You must be against every RPG ever given that your party goes around stealing stuff from every chest, crate, pot, drawer, and even bush.

Man, I was looking for actual reasons to hate GTA, not all the reasons to LOVE IT.

[BitVyper]

Also this game called Gemfire I thought it was pretty boss it was on the Nintendo Entertainment System.

UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGH

Gemfire? Seriously? NES turn-based strategy... I'm not even sure how your taste in videogames could possibly be worse.

[Magus]

Hey, now, it was good enough to have an SNES port! Clearly you lack understanding of how strategic NES games can be. It also had Pool of Radiance, for example. I need Barrel in here to take a real snipe at such a gem as Gemfire.

[BitVyper]

UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGH

Gemfire? Seriously? An NES tactics game? Your poor taste in videogames proves itself. I don't even need to do anything.

[Magus]

UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU UUUUGH

You know what else is quite shit? YOUR FACE.

[Professor Smarmiarty]

Too many people posting their opinions not enough people hating on others

Counterpoint: Apollo Creed!

I like secular legal systems.
This is too openended for me to shit on without taking 100 pages so I need more detail. What kind of secular legal system? Like what's the founding principle.

Not all in the same meal, mind you, but individually.
I sense inconsistencies in your taste. Eating multiple things at once multiplies the flavours thus a dish made up of yummy things becomes ultra-yummy. You just claim to like some of these things to hide your secret real tastes which are shameful.

I love english muffins with honey [/QUOTE
]
I basically live in England. It is a terrible place capable of producing only hatred and misery. Nothing good comes from here.
[QUOTE]and Darwyn Cooke's run on The Spirit.
It's a comic book.
I like hating barrels
But barres are superior to pants in every department! Every one! You like hating good things!
and sucking up to people.
People are shit.

Oh, I've been watching Battlestar Galactica lately, it's pretty good. Do that one.
Haven't seen it- I'm sure someone here must have some points about it.

Also Grand Theft Auto.
So there is absolutely no story or characterisation that is worth mentioning, I drive around in an openworld in a car killing townspeople and occasional I shoot things FPS style... are you sure we're not still playing Ultima 1.

[BitVyper]

UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU UUUUGH

You know what else is quite shit? YOUR FACE.

Hey look, the guy who likes Gemfire thinks he's allowed to have opinions about things. That doesn't surprise me, considering how fucked in the head you already have to be.

Play Nobunaga's Ambition on SNES, like a real man.

[walkertexasdruid]

I do not know why, but for some reason I like Smarty McBarrelpants.

[Ecks]

I want to see him take 100 pages to shit on something.

Therefore, I am amending my list.

Not an RPG hater and I also own and enjoy Bully but GTA is the kind of game that I hate because of those issues.

[walkertexasdruid]

I like
Star Trek: TOS
Star Trek: TNG
Star Trek: DSN
Star Trek: Voyager
Star Trek: Enterprise
and all eleven Star Trek movies (ok 1 and 5 are pushing it a little).

Ok I'l ldo this in sections:
A) Babies
What is the point of babies? To satisfy some crude biological urge arising from your monkey brain? I'll be here in nthe 21st century with my mastery of my body

B) Australians
Yeah bro yeaaaaaaah. NNahhh hbro nahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

C) H.P.Lovecraft
Inane ramblings with little sense of meaning beyond the superficial

D) X-men movies-
U ses the lack of a main character to change scenes whenever one character is in danger of developing anything.

E) Fight club-
Oh you've hit a nerve here. "Oh I want to be artssssssy, look at me so artsy- oh no don't take away my money! I'll strip the film of its message adn any subtlety to sell to eveyrone. But I'm still artsy!" Oh look internet loves me cause I make them feel superior- ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, Brain explode.

[Archbio]

Oh, I've been watching Battlestar Galactica lately, it's pretty good. Do that one.

That's the show with those robots the Cylons, right? Those who appear human but have "silica pathways" in their brains and spines that tend to emit red light?

Oh, but the glow wasn't meant to represent something literal?
So, the Cylons are so much like humans internally that they can't be detected by medical examination?

Forget about those "silica pathways" (and the plot point that hinged on them,) lets just decide that the Cylons are just like a different sort of humans. There, that certainly just made that "enemy among us" plot easier to write! And, hey, how else are you going to write in human-cylon hybrids with blood that cures cancer once but not twice.

And lets not forget that when your main concern is to try and break a constant cycle of slavery, rebellion and genocide that spans interstellar space and (uncounted) thousands of years of history, the best possible solution is to give up your civilization and technology, and settle on a planet inhabited by primitive humanoids.

Here's the thing about the X-files. After the first episode if you had to guess what it was about you would guess government conspiracy, working with aliens. That is what was hinting at. Then they spend 9 seasons dicking around denying this idea and then, oh wait yes that is exactly what is happening. What the fuck was the point of those 9 seasons again?

The point of those seasons was every episode that didn't have anything to do with the greater alien/government conspiracy arc. Most of the episodes, in the early seasons.

[walkertexasdruid]

There is nothing wrong with being a nerd. I think that most of us on the Nuklear Power Forums are nerds of some sort. I mean who else would spend time reading and responding to this mostly meaningless prattle (I include myself in the previous statement). Now do you or anyone else have anything interesting to say about my like of Star Trek? Or is this just another irrelevant thread? (No offense was meant, I mean just look at some of my meanderings throughout this forum)

[RobinStarwing]

I will make the counter thread. This negativity needs to be countered.

They actively work, for no money, on a webforum based around a sprite comic of an NES videogame. Enough said really.

Actually I take that back. I know nerds, they doing research on their own phasers guns and warp technology- they don't need to watch Star Trek for that. Geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeekkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
And if you want me to criticise something properly actually give me something to criticise not lame retools of movie serials, packaged with awful political messages as naive as they are unsubtle, and packed with pretty lights and explosions to hide the fact you are watching a children's terrible fantasy adventure in space. Give and take, give and take, hoshit.

I mean, come on: mind control and reality warping hallucinations that can be recorded on Betamax?

Everybody knows that VHS is the superior medium for recording mind control broadcasts.

Long live the New Flesh! Long live eXistenZ!

Betamax records in higher quality than VHS. Clearly it would be the technologyof choice.

Oh no! My secret weakness! I have bad things to say about eXistenZ but I can't bring myself to say them.

[Archbio]

VHS achieved market supremacy not through higher quality but through mind control. Fact.

Oh no! My secret weakness! I have bad things to say about eXistenZ but I can't bring myself to say them.

To be honest I just thought your secret weakness was living pistols who shoot out teeth.

[Hatake Kakashi]

I like Bowling for Soup.

I like Selena Gomez and the Scene.

Are you the Girl All The Bad Guys Want? Frankly, having some whining emo on a moped trying to sing about you should be somewhat shameful.

Selena Gomez = Miley Cyrus = Britney Spears = Lindsay Lohan. Just another future washed-up sex-drugs-and-alcohol-addicted train wreck in the waiting, which would give people like Perez Hilton a reason to continue to exist.

As for the Scene, I'd have to know of which Scene you refer to, so I can properly criticize it. Links?

I'm sure you could've done better on Bowling for Soup. The Scene is Selena Gomez's band. It's Selena and the Scene, so there's no need to do the Scene seperate.

[Hatake Kakashi]

I'm sure you could've done better than Bowling for Soup.

Fixed that for ya. It was difficult to find someone who could make Meatloaf: Bat Out of Hell II sound like a masterpiece, but they managed to.

[walkertexasdruid]

Now that is much better. I was not offended with being called a nerd, or a geek for that matter. I was just disappointed with the lack of effort on your part. I applaud you for going back to being the smart-ass critic that we all know and love.
