You unlock this door with the key of imagination. Beyond it is another dimension - a dimension of sound, a dimension of sight, a dimension of mind. You're moving into a land of both shadow and substance, of things and ideas. You've just crossed over into the Twilight Zone.

I'd be very interested in playing a Fallout set in a country other than America.

I assume China is also all wastelandy, considering the backstory. I wonder what a Fallout would be like set there.

I started off drawing a cross between a white tiger and a rabbit, and then realised that I could draw neither of those things.

I call it a 'Rager'.

Love.

Okay, Maddox.

For instance, a typical advertisement for an event would be, "Please come, we have FREE CUPCAKES, DON'T YOU LOVE THEM???" And then a few minutes later, someone sends out an email proclaiming, "Hey guys, want to chill over in X place, I've got a batch of fresh cupcakes. YUM"

That happened at my uni during orientation last year.

Every political party on campus has a different sort of cupcake to give away.

The Labour party's red cupcakes were delicious.

Psychonauts.

Thank you, and good night.

That's actually a really good idea. If it works of course.

You always hear these things about people being addicted to the action of smoking, in addition to being actually addicted to nicotine. If you were able to use these in the same way that you use, say, nicotine gum, then it could be effective.

Of course, I have no knowledge about whether or not it can be used for quitting smoking, or if it actually doesn't have any harmful effects.

That's one of the stupidest things I have ever heard.

Why would the King consent to sex outside of marriage?

It would be exactly the same, only much poorer.

Why would that ruin Dragon Ball Z?

If you were unaware that voice actors did more than one role in their lifetimes, you're pretty ignorant.

Well you're probably not going to get a girlfriend if you go around being depressed all the time.

So, they might.

I heard this elsewhere and I looked in my wardrobe. Found no Claude's outfit.

I think you can only find it in Playboy X's apartment.

I've definitely found it in my game.

Something else.

I say, I SAY,

Excuuuuuse me my dear man. But I have heeeeard that you are taking requests for arts.

Well, sir, I do believe I have a potential request for you.

I request that you draw a man on fire with black hair, running screaming into a crowd of wizards, who are playing poker, and none of them are wearing shoes (very important!). Also, one of the wizards has George Clooney's head, and he's giving a thumbs up while doing a little half-smile. Also, there is an elephant in the room and he's doing something crazy, like horseback riding.

It will be very deep.

I tried hard to get away from the feeling that university won't matter in the end by choosing a degree that I know could be useful. So now I'm doing a law degree, woo!

It makes me feel way better doing something like that where I know it can lead me into a specific job, instead of being all confused wondering what my degree can get me (like all my friends doing BAs seem to feel). I may not even want to become a lawyer once I finish my degree, but the fact that I potentially can become a lawyer makes it feel more worthwhile.

At the very least, another choice door will open up for me at the end of my degree.

Of course, like everyone else I've had a bit of trouble adjusting to the lifestyle of university. I couldn't even think of dropping out, though. I've got a brother that dropped out of university, and he felt so inadequate after he did it he was depressed for around a year, and then went off doing some shitty job for a while. Now he's going back to university.

It wasn't.

It was made by the same studio as Lucky Star, though. And Kyoto Animation's works tend to vary in quality.

The over the top dancing around and skimpy outfits were done over the top because it's funny when it's rediculous. the one liners are there because despite how you feel, a lot of people cringe at one liners and that's what makes them fun. They're like puns, they're a necessary evil. The over the top violence? What do you mean? Bayonetta didnt even bleed. If you mean the Torture Attacks I've seen far...far worse. The main character was designed great, that, however is debateable according to taste.

I've read interviews with the game designers. I know exactly why they did everything they did.

Suffice it to say, they wanted to make the game as 'sexy' as possible.

Why are you arguing against what I thought about the game anyway?

That's a horrible oxymoron.

It's not an oxymoron.

Its combat system means it has the potential to be a great game, but every other design choice the developers made is contrary to what I like in video games. So it's bad, but it's a really good bad game.

Why would you be embarrassed to play it in front of other people, I rented it WITH a friend and played it at his house, his brother and mother watching, we ALL cracked up at the game. There's nothing embarassing about it.

I don't know about you, but I know some pretty judgmental people.

Critics are usually fired if they don't know what they're talking about. They play games and review them for a living, chances are extreemely good they know more than the avertage gamer about what's good and what isn't.

They really don't.

Have you even read what video game critics write? There is really no evidence of superior knowledge about video games.

Video game reviews are just the reviewer telling everyone else what they thought of the game. If I had a journalism degree, I could be a video game reviewer but that doesn't mean that my opinion would become superior to anyone else's.

Any other BS you want to pull out? Bayonetta's a great game, there isn't a single valid argument that says it isn't. So how about you just save yourself the time and move on, you won't succeed in proving it isn't.

I didn't try to 'prove the game's badness'. I merely laid out the reasons why I won't be buying the game.

I'm not trying to convince anyone of anything other than what my tastes in video games are.

You don't seem to be able to accept the fact that sometimes people don't like the same things you do. Sometimes everything you like about a game will become everything another person doesn't like about the game. That's called 'taste'.

Now how about we go back to the main topic instead of your futile attempts to prove a wonderful game's badness shal we? What is something you liked, and thought was great, but everyone else for no reason hated?

That's what the topic's about? I guess I was fooled the 99% of your post that was declaring Bayonetta to be the second coming.

And the only comparable game I can think of at the moment is Brutal Legend. I really liked that game, but a lot of people I see on the internet think it's terrible. But then again, a lot of people on the internet think it's great, so it's not the comparable.

I've never planned on buying Bayonetta, because I think that it's obnoxious.

I played the demo. I thought the combat was a lot of fun, and it flowed together really well. But absolutely everything else about the game made me want to hate it. The ridiculous constant nudity, the pointless over-the-top violence, the terrible one-liners, the awful main character design, urgh. It's like everything that I hate about video games rolled into one horrible affront to my sensibilities. And I still like the combat.

It's like the best terrible game I've ever played.

And I don't really want to play a game I would be embarrassed to play around other people.

Also, stop throwing around what the critics thought of the game. The critics' opinions are not any more valid than anyone else's. Critics are just regular gamers who write for a living. They get hired because of writing ability (though sometimes that seems a little dubious), not because of their superior tastes.

I don't carry a knife around with me because I am not a psychopath.

This is basically what the 70s was like, right?

It's very post-modern, but it doesn't seem necessary.

It seems like the lines you're quoting don't serve any actual purpose other than to fill out your poem. You should really just substitute lines that you've written.

Unless, of course, you have a tendency to listen to CAKE while you play Left 4 Dead. If that's the case then I guess there is some point to it.

People get angry at these top whatever lists far too often.

You have to go into them thinking "other people's opinions are going to differ from mine. I am reading the opinions of other people and they don't have to reflect my own."

Listen.

If someone takes their subjective opinion, and presents it as objective fact, then in response I will do the same. It keeps arguments interesting.

Nobody gets excited by an argument that constantly stops to say "but, you know, if that's your opinion you're not wrong I guess..."
