BAH! Game of the generation! It has everything you ever wanted in a game.

 

• Zany Weapons
• Crazy missions
• Huge varities
• Sexy geeky girls
• Play as a toliet
• Zombies
• Luchadors with chainsaws
• biologically enhanced supermen

Seriously, it's my favorite game of this entire generation.

To be fair, SR4 got most of those plus you get to play as a superhero yourself, so there is that

Brian, as in the family dog? Yeah I am okay with that. After watching the episode with Quagmire's dad turning out to be transsexual and Brian being the most transphobic little shit of them all I have hated his guts and I never particularly cared for his character to begin with. As long as they don't kill off Stewie or Quagmire it's cool to me.

Every single stereotype that is not used by the people who are stereotyped themselves as a ironic joke I would say is pretty bad, as it is major generalization of entire groups of people based on a misguided and hateful belief that everyone is the same based on their "category". Personally I like the stereotype about Norwegians being vikings who play Black Metal while riding dragons because it's so obviously detached from reality, but if someone where to claim I live in a hut in the forest without electricity I would metaphorically smack them in the face.

Other major stereotypes that I see way too often and that I hate are:

-"All gay men are flamboyant and all gay girls are hyper-masculine"

-"All minorities have only one trait based on their ethnicity"
-"All Muslims are terrorists, and everyone who don't believe in Christ are evil"
-"Everyone who have a left wing political view are rooting for North Korea and Stalin"
-"Women suck at the things men are good at and are only good at shallow stuff like fashion"
-"All Emos and Nu-Metal fans do nothing but cut themselves and whine without justification or reason for it"

Yeah it's pretty much not related to gender at all.

Not to be rude but is this really a topic to make a thread out of? As mentioned earlier, all schools have kids who like different things, and if we are going to point "at the weird ones" it could quickly devolve into bullying.

Looking forward to see what they can cook up, the YouTube FAQ shorts they did some years back was pretty funny so it's clear they still have it in them

No stereotype is 100% true. Some can be more true than others in certain areas, but truth is everyone is different and there is never going to be a case of absolutely everyone in a country, ethnicity, religion, sexuality, subculture or anything else fitting into the stereotype no matter what Hollywood tries to make us think of that way too often.

I find it stupid to turn a word associated with happy times and homosexuals into something negative, so I am completely against using the word in that way as a insult and putdown. Sometimes I wanna start calling out shit I don't like by saying "that's straight" just to parody this stupid thing (though it stays with the thought for obvious reasons revolving hypocrisy and wanting equality).

Besides, "that's lame", "that's stupid", "that's shit" and "that's wack yo" all sounds better in a negative light.

Well that makes sense, since she always tend to have those odd layers of depth/pretension that mostly only she gets hidden in her songs. But yeah the song itself is a total ripoff of that Madonna song, even if I admire what Lady Gaga tries to do I really don't like most of her songs due to stealing so much from others.

Mixcraft is pretty user friendly and fairly powerful for a casual program, it's one you have to buy, but it have a month long trial period so hopefully that will be enough to help you fix what you need to fix. I use it to compose, record and make all my music and I am very happy with it. It also has a nifty easy to use automaton feature for easy volume and panning adjustments among other things.

Personally I don't drink most of the time for several reasons. I don't find it tasting very good, I don't want to lose control over my mind and body, if something is so boring one have to be drunk to enjoy it I rather be at home and enjoy something else, etc. so basically I only drink a small pint if Jager as basically cough sirup on rare occasions.

Basically my view on it is keep it away from me and please stay away from me when drunk.

Angel, obviously Angel. Gilda might be a bully, Trixie might be a attention whore, Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon might be bitches, but Angel being an abusive "husband" towards Fluttershy is just a big no. No, that's no ordinary rabbit... *insert Monty Python reference here*

Because likeable, strong female lead characters, good music and animation, fun jokes and it just being a pleasant show to watch basically. With all the raw loloffensive macho bullshit gritty gritty bang bang most media is these days, it's nice to have something that is the complete opposite but just as good, or even better IMO.

I remember getting a bit of a crush on Alyx Vance from Half-Life 2 when playing that back in the day, she seems like such a fun and cool girl to be around and was really likeable compared to all those "mindless boob dispensers" most action games give you as a sidekick. Don't really have any now though as far as I can think, though I do ship Johnny Gat and The Boss in SR4 =P

I am awake until 6am every night, because that is what a screwed up sleep schedule, loud family and insomnia will do to you. Also the whole self-loathing depression thing. Getting to work at 12am hurts.

The only way you could be too open-minded would be if you supported murderers, pedophiles and rapists simply because "they are different". In this case, I would say your father is being a close minded selfish jerk who is trying to live his life through you because he isn't enough of a man to deal with you being different than him (hope that didn't come off as rude towards you, if so I am sorry). Be yourself and don't care about the haters, there is nothing wrong with a boy enjoying girly things or vise versa.

I should probably walk away,

but i'm not going to.

 

Athesists are the first people to not offer any quarter calling religion an un necessary crotch,

and yet expect the comforts of re assurance when a family member passes.

I had a friend who was a hard core athesist who use to argue tooth and nail (well okay that was most of them)

 

about there being no after life but the moment one of his friends died "well he's with his mom now."

"I thought you didn't believe in that.?"

 

And i'd get a shitty look as if to say "hay lay off."

 

this is from the exact same people who feel a little less if they can't make you feel dumb for preying.

So he tried to be nice to his friend and comfort him/her, and the first thing you do is being a dick about it by pointing out his own beliefs not following the comforts? Dude, you are awful, seriously.

...and got horribly offended at the idea of anyone having blind faith or trying to convey that message on to others.

"Blind faith" is usually seen as a negative by most people in the world yes. It's one thing to have faith, strong faith even, and another thing to follow something with no rhyme or reason because "I think it's true" without concern of the consequences. Quite frankly believing in something "just because" seems rather immature IMO. Also pushing your own beliefs down other's throat and forcing others to believe in the same thing IS a bad thing in most cases, that is why so many bronies are ashamed by their fellow fans who try to convert people by posting ponies everywhere for no good reason.

And wooooow did this discussion about an episode get bloody political for no good reason <_<

You don't understand faith or science if that's what you believe.

 

SCIENCE IS USED TO EXPLAIN THINGS.

 

If you're trying to USE FAITH TO EXPLAIN THINGS, IT'S NOT FAITH.

 

Because faith is defined as belief without evidence, and science is used to explain things with evidence, that is their fundamental differences.

No need for caps lock, and they explained that in the video actually, watch it to the very end and you might start looking at things differently as I did from watching it. If all you people are gonna do is yell at me for not going with the flow of what the common belief is, then you clearly haven't understood the true message of this episode, poorly worded moral or not.

That is incorrect, I have to say that. Don't really want to get in a debate about that but I do think that you are wrong here.

This video that I agree with disagrees with you: http://www.penny-arcade.com/patv/episode/god-does-not-play-dice

It probably explains my point much better than I ever could. Also this is in no way a bashing of science, Atheism nor religion.

True, but in this case, when you really think about it, Twilight was being a terrible scientist by being totally unyielding in her scientific beliefs and not paying any attention to any of the data that was laid out in front of her.

Which is what I think the real moral of the story was supposed to be: that there will be things that are hard to explain in the world but it's a bad idea to completely throw away the idea of something existing beyond your own comprehension. Not so much "be religious" as "be whatever you want, but accept your friends for what they believe and take inspiration in the positive aspects of each other's beliefs to try and strengthen your friendships and become better people".

the base of every religious belief is faith, and the same can be said for Twilight's belief in the end in Pinkie's Pinkie-sense.

You do realize that the base of all science is also faith right? Not all scientist will admit that, but it's faith in human knowledge and discovery overcoming the dangers of nature, which is just as legit as religion.

Isn't it stated from Word of God (no pun intended) that the moral was broken in that episode? Something about them wording it poorly and not having time to redo the script so they didn't get the original intention out? Can't remember where I heard it, might be from a old Equestria Daily article or something.

Also not to be rude, but there is a pretty widely known scientific reason why women get pregnant

It keeps changing regularly as of lately, but at the moment:

(And no I have no idea what is up with that album art either lol)

I have a theory about Chrysalis deep down actually being not that bad, but due to her species way of feeding and never finding someone who would truly want to love her after many many years, she might have gone mad with depression and power, and decided to invade the nation that had what she would consider a mockery to herself and destroy it: the fairly tale by the book perfect couple.

Looking at it at the angle of that theory, it makes more sense to me why she didn't act more cold and subtle, she was not just out to feed, she was desperate due to a obsession to make everyone else as miserable as she was. Driven to evil she didn't intend to ever face by being labeled as a monster, and therefor not being worthy of love in others eyes. Being labeled as a designated evil can do things to one's mind if it's fragile already.

Of course this is just a silly theory of mine and I bet the official explanation is something as simple as "she got annoyed because someone were about to spoil her plan, and that is it", though I find Chrysalis to be a interesting character and I like to think what she might have been like before.

Was planing to dress up as Chrysalis, but those cosplay wings from Hot Topic seems to be out of my reach as their shipping prices for international shipping are just completely insane. So I guess not.
