  1. WARNING: THE FOLLOWING POST IS VERY OPINIONATED AND BIASED New Vegas. It is a better game in every way. It has more quests, weapons, armor, locations, and factions. It has better companions, both in the sense that they are more useful and they all have their own sidequests and unique backstories. There are three main factions you can join in the main story, each with ups and downs, creating moral ambiguity, leaving it up to the player to decide which faction are the "good guys". Or you can join none of them. This also gives the game replay value, because not only can you have one different playthrough for each faction, you can do the quests for that faction differently. In Fallout 3, you can only play the story one way; it is a very generic, morally black and white story. Not to mention it's absolutely loaded with plot holes. New Vegas' quests are also way less linear. In Fallout 3, you just mindlessly follow the arrow on your compass, and the game rarely gives you power over the outcome. In New Vegas, you can do things your way. You can do exactly what the quest giver tells you, you can ignore them and do things your own way. Sometimes, there is no strict set of directions, you are given an objective, and are to complete that objective in whatever way you see fit. Or you can decide that you don't like the quest owner and shoot them in the face. Some people say that Fallout 3 has a better atmosphere, but I have to strongly disagree. To start with, New Vegas' atmosphere is more true to the originals, and has a healthy dose of dark humor, rather than just being dark and depressing all the time. This is probably because Obsidian, the developer that made New Vegas, is composed of many people who made the first two games. Fallout 3 also has little world building. There is no agriculture, and it's implied that the population survives off of 200 year-old junk food. There is no power supply, because no one considered to get an old power plant back up and running after all that time? And one of the biggest settlements in the game was built around a nuclear bomb, and to top it all off, they worship the damn thing. Most of the locations in Fallout 2 are just ruined buildings filled with ghouls or raiders with some randomly generated loot at the end, and have no connection to the story at all, while nearly all of New Vegas' locations are connected to the main story in some way. I don't know if I could call Fallout 3 a bad game, just average, and pretty featureless when compared to the rest of the series. /wall of text
  2. Every show that is on Discovery Family except mlp. Then they play mlp 24/7
  3. I hated my school any everyone in it. I'm glad to be gone.
  4. Depends on what your definition of "dying" is. Music has always been a big part of every culture. Cultures will go through change, so, inevitably, that culture's music will too. Different kinds of music will rise and fall in popularity. Though, when it comes to the popularity of music, it's generally the less popular artists that make the best music. I know that makes me sound like a hipster, but I can't help but see pop music as nothing more than the product of a corporation trying to stuff their wallets. (With a few exceptions)
  5. I have an adblocker, so no I guess (I disable it on sites that I want to support, like this one)
  6. Quilava. My favorite evolution of my first and favorite starter
  7. Thank you, strangers.

      I hope you can have good day =)

  8. Yes. Jump-scares are the absolute lamest type of horror.
  9. No, not at all. They're a few of many complex sounds we are able make with our mouth. I'd honestly like to know how they came to be considered offensive in the first place. I curse around my friends and that's pretty much it. It really just depends on how relaxed I am. Sometimes I only say curse words to convey strong feelings, sometimes I say them like I'd say any other word.
  10. All of them I really hate Probability/Statistics
  11. History tends to repeat itself. Look up the video game crash of 1983. Video games were at their absolute worst before nearly dying as an industry and then skyrocketing into a golden age. Just like the Renaissance began right after the Dark Ages. Will this happen again? Maybe. But it will probably get worse before it gets better. Here's a short video on the crash https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kv7DJrLAZus
  12. I rarely watch TV anymore, and I know I've seen ALOT of bad commercials. The one that sticks out in my memory more than any other is the headon commercials. Sweet FUCK those were horrible. Imagine hearing this every 10 minutes while someone across the house watches TV Other than that, any musical commercial tends to be awful.
  13. Guitar picks, and musical equipment in general. Picks are always turning up out of nowhere. Any guitarist knows this struggle.
  14. Some of the mods are being taken down so that steam is the only place to get them Some people have started pirating mods instead. Let that sink in. People are pirating... mods... If that's not fucking hilarious, I don't know what is.
  15. People on /v/ are flipping their shit right now, so I ran here. I do think that this is a horrible idea though. Mods are supposed to be a way for a community to make a game their own by creating their own content and sharing it with everyone else. If this trend continues, modding will turn into another way for people to squeeze money out of the community rather than share content with it. Instead of a plethora of content that can be added or removed from your game as you please, we just have infinite amounts of DLC. That infuriates me. User-created content for games has always been and always should be free. If someone wants to earn money from it, then they should make a mod good enough that people will make donations. People aren't actually going to pay for this crap anyway, we'll just pirate them. And if you'd told me a couple of weeks ago that people would start pirating mods soon, I'd have laughed until i cried.
  16. I agree with most of the posters here. Ocarina of time and Majora's Mask are both timeless classics. Link to the past/link between worlds are pretty good too, mostly the former. I would recommend you play Twilight Princess, but I'm pretty sure it's only on wii/gamecube. People give that game alot of flak but I thoroughly enjoyed it.
  17. I haven't enjoyed Assassin's Creed's multiplayer mode since Brotherhood. Maybe it just started to seem stale after that, I don't know.
  18. When I realized I was attracted to Princess Luna, a magical horse from a children's cartoon, I knew I'd hit an all time low. I thought to myself, "Welp, there's nowhere to go now but further down." And that's exactly what I did.
  19. There's also the fact that the human body itself is full of flaws. Just look at the mouths of people who don't get dental work or have their wisdom teeth removed. There's also people with allergies and various disorders. None of our hair except the hair on our head provides any insulation and only contributes to making things uncomfortable. Also the appendix. http://io9.com/the-most-unfortunate-design-flaws-in-the-human-body-1518242787 This article describes some more. I try not to get involved in debates like this, but people saying that nature and the human body are ingeniously designed is one of those things I can't keep quiet about. Also I can't help but indulge my argumentative side once in a while. I can honestly, whole-heartedly say that if there's some higher power that created us like this, it didn't know what the fuck it was doing, or just didn't care.
  20. still waiting for one or the other to get a good variety of games. I've seen a few good-looking ones so far, but nothing has made me want either of the new consoles.
  21. List of things I do while home alone I scream and make various weird noises when I'm home alone Sometimes I experiment with my own vocal ranges I laugh like a fucking idiot when I see something barely funny I browse this forum as well as a few imageboards among other things. Also, I made this the other day out of boredom http://vocaroo.com/i/s03ghz28kH4g
  22. If I know the people I'm working with, it goes quite well.
  23. Because I am a nihilist. I live by no set of values other than my own, and I believe life has no meaning other than what one gives to it. The idea of death seems incredibly peaceful, but I see no reason not to enjoy the time I have. Shouldn't this be in the debate pit?
  24. I was gonna say Romans but then you reminded me that Vikings were a thing
