This might be due to Michael Schumacher's domination of F1 over a decade ago, but considering how many times the German national anthem was played after the many races he won, I would have to go with that. Something about it sounds so grand. <3

Schumacher, then Vettel, and now Mercedes. (with the occasional Vettel)   

Sounds beautiful.

Oh, and 1998-2002, 2004-2008, and 2010-2015 at Le Mans too.

I have no desire to have children. 

It would work best as a blog post.

Winner has to fight the Mario Bros.

Duck smuggling.

I think only 7th and 8th gen consoles were taken into account, not handhelds.

Oh look, another reason for me to not give a shit about react videos.

M.A. Larson you magnificent bastard!

I miss this game so much. There were a few tracks, and a few characters. I always wanted to see a much more expanded sequel, but that never happened. 

Banjo-Kazooie. Kept with it's low-poly, cheerful art style. And an adventure-platform game, not something like that bullshit Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts vehicle-based game. 

This too. WE NEED BANJO-THREEIE GODDAMMIT!!!!

I become an omnipotent being that can smite my enemies at a moments notice.

That'd be pretty sweet.

I'll get in on this. Since I don't have a proper drawing (kinda regret never getting a commission for it), I only have this ancient pony creator image.

Let's be honest with ourselves. We only watch it for the commercials.

Spaceballs ll: The Search for More Money

I'm calling it.

but I still had a blast with the Ps3/360/Wii/Wii U(don't own a PS4 or Xbone yet) and think they're great consoles

Like I said, I had a hell of a time on the PS3, but I think that the PS4 or the Xbone is too focused on being multimedia machines (dare I say, a PC) instead of just being a device that you can just put a disk in and play it.

Piracy is not as big an issue as big companies like EA and Ubisoft claim it to be. Intel posted this back in 2012. I'm not sure how much of that article is relevant today, but the vast majority most likely is.

All I know is that people are starting to realize consoles are not as awesome as they used to be. The quality of the 1st-party games are declining, the actual focus of Playstation and Xbox are all over the place. They say PC gaming is dying and consoles have never been better, but actual statistics say otherwise.

Because Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo are trying to market them as multimedia machines instead of just damn game console. The 7th-gen consoles were the start of it. They did the gaming part well, but then add all the other stuff they did, on top of the complex hardware they used, and prices shot through the roof. Remember when the PS3 was announced at $600? With 8th-gen, Sony and Microsoft adopted an x86 architecture, which morphed them into closed-platform PC's where they charge an entry fee to use their respective online services, on top of your internet bill, and anything else you may be using that they offer.

I think it comes down to Sony and Microsoft starting to get greedy with the services they provide for users. Microsoft has always charged for Xbox Live, even though I'm fairly certain the sales they get from Windows, other software, and hardware would easily offset maintaining Xbox Live servers. These days, Sony now requires PS+ to play online. I guess it could be justified a little as they have been losing profits for the last few years. But I don't think they're hurting for money that much. Speaking of online play, it seems very easy to knockout their servers with DDoS attacks. It is very dickish to do it, but it has been shown to be easy to do. I refuse to pay for a service that could be taken down that easily.

I'm also not really interested in any of the exclusive titles offered. The only one of these that I ever played on PS4 was Killzone Shadowfall. It's nothing special, I'll still take Borderlands 2 over that anyday, and that game is from 2012. The only exclusive for the Xbone that I would even consider buying one for is Forza Horizon 2, but that's it, and nowhere enough for me to justify shelling out $470 + tax just to play 1 game.

While I got my money's worth (and then some) from my PS3, I wasn't too impressed after I bought a PS4. (bought it for my birthday actually) It felt like the only real upgrade was graphics. (Although, the DS4 is actually an excellent controller. I recommend it over the 360 controller) Since then, I had built my PC. It really feels like a much greater upgrade than on Christmas morning in 2008 when I got a PS3.

I know I never mentioned Nintendo, but they kinda live in their own little world, completely out of touch with today.

Here is the thread I was referring to. It may not be exactly the same, but the subject is still the same.

Didn't she also help write Band Geeks?

I don't care what anyone says, that was the best episode.

I'm nearly smack in the middle of my 20's.

Pretty much my life.

From an outsider's perspective, Southern USA has some absolutely great stuff, plenty of friendly people and a good attitude towards life ... and alsa some terrible stuff, being extremely bigoted and backwards in their thinking. It really seems to depend on what state, and what PARTS of those states you're in. To an extent, the south is shown in a bad light which tends to overshadow the good parts, and that shouldn't happen. HOWEVER, there does seem to be a higher amount of racism and whatnot in the south at the same time.

Yeah, the typical right-wing nonsense is very visible around here. As far as how it varies from region to region, it can be extremely conservative, or fairly liberal. My hometown is on the conservative side. I can't remember how many churches there are around here, and nearly every elected official is Republican. Head 50 miles west for Nashville. It's where the "fairly liberal" part comes from. Most of the elected officials are again Republican, but the diversity of businesses there is astounding. Hell, I would even call Nashville gay-friendly.

As in, hot in summer, cool in fall, cold in winter, and warm in spring.

 

I'm mainly asking about leaves changing in fall, and snow in winter.

There definitely are 4 seasons in Tennessee. You should see The Smokies in Autumn, it's very colorful.

The element of the horde.

MGS V. The first time I've seen it on sale.
