Bash Halloween on Reddit, get Downvoted, who knew?

 

[Jintor]

I met an ex that way. She was kind of a flower child.

I did notice throughout uni that I would only ever randomly meet cute girls when I was already in a relationship. It was most frustrating.

Hah!

;__;

 

[Fredescu]

Call me unreasonably optimistic, but I'm gonna go ahead and interpret this tweet as rock-solid confirmation that there is a new Idle Thumbs on the way.

Sounds reasonable.

 

[Deeku]

I cried when I got to day 7 of devil survivor..... >_>

I should really go back and finish that game. Got stuck on a boss and stopped playing, which is what happens with most games I play.

 

[VOOK]

That or get girls who you dated only a couple of times, once they see you're in a relationship on Facebook , ring you up and tell you how much they've missed you and want you AND basically preposition you to come sleep with them.

True story.

No really it is.

 

[Fredescu]

Also, when you're already in a relationship you tend to have a bit more confidence about yourself, which girls pick up on and are attracted to. Viscious circle that one.

My only experience with reddit, about a month ago:

1. Go to reddit
2. Search "Scarlett"
3. Right click, save as
4. Right click, save as

I cried at the end of MGS4. Fuck the haters.

Spoiler

I'm a little bitch

 

[viciouskillersquirrel]

Why? The joking, or the lack of emotional content? The former has happened with plenty of new media in days past, and the latter, I haven't seen a painting or sculpture or anything that has reduced me to tears.

So what you’re saying is you’ve never seen a Michelangelo, a Bernini or a Donatello in person before?

im not saying games lack emotional content im saying that it has not made me tear up

i have felt bad in games though

Me too, it was a pretty terrible ending.

And not a single fuck was given.

I don't remember that Ninja Turtle. What weapon did he have?

I feel bad for laughing.

I may have been taking the piss, just slightly.


The mocking of someones writing style and how they get their point across is fair enough (I mean, I probably shouldn't do it, because I can't write for shit.), but to make a mockery of how someone felt while playing a game, or watching a film or even looking at a painting to use your example is really hard to criticise, as everything effects each of us differently.

Oh and a videogame doesn't have to create emotional reactions to be an art form. Yes, I am a troll.

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

The closest a game has brought me to tears is the Cortana level in Halo 3 and the fucking cheap wall hugging flood fuckers. Ruined the game.

The first game where I almost teared up was the ending and fade into credits of Prince of Persia Sands of Time.

When the prince whispers 'kokulukea' and then Time only knows starts playing. One of the most beautiful moments in my gaming experience.

 

[Jintor]

I kid, mum is alive and well.

Now I'm tearing up....

Spoiler

Your mum's lady parts

An exemplary use of double meaning. My hat is off to you. An especially good text joke, too.

 

[viciouskillersquirrel]

A chisel. Dude was hardcore.

To expand on that response, I'm skeptical that seeing any such works in person would even get close to bringing me to tears. I completely lack the artisitic vocabulary for visual art to have that sort of effect.

That's talking about me personally. I don't doubt the ability for visual art to make someone very emotional, and I also don't doubt the ability of a video game to make someone very emotional.

Hell, Mario Galaxy made me feel emotional at the joyous end of the spectrum. I tend to avoid horror games because I know they will make me feel very emotional.

I've seen what are considered most of the 'great' works of art, and besides looking at most of them and thinking they're pretty, I've been mostly otherwise unmoved.

After the reaction to Eurogamer's 8 for Uncharted, I can kind of understand the pressure video game reviewers are under with the scores.

That's it. I'm going to create "Uncharted 3 review thread... review thread" and just link to all the posts here that bag out everyone's reactions. They deserve to be called out.

Not that one anyway, he didn't even reply.

But yup, people in the industry.

I bet it was Serrels. That guy looks pretty dodgy.

I definitely haven't.

I watched the last 30 minutes of Con Air the other day. I got more emotion from that movie than I have from any video game ever.

Spoiler

I MEAN COME ON, him meeting his daughter for the first time, giving her the bunny and then hugging his smoking hot wife, with Leanne Rimes coming on in the background? All this after chasing down John Malkovich on a motorbike with John Cusack at his side? ;_;

Damn fucking straight. And then it cuts to

Spoiler

Steve Buscemi playing poker or something while Sweet Home Alabama plays

, it makes you think that there's hope for us all in this crazy world.

Sounds reasonable.

I don't believe that's actually run by anyone from IT... but I might just be thinking of the IGNdotcom Twitter account.

[Kritz]

I have so many coins I can't close my wallet, even after giving a $3 tip of 10c / 20c coins.

It's the year 2011, why we still got physical currency and minimum eftpos limits?

 

[VOOK]

Serrels replies to all my crap, even the ones where I send cat pictures.

I took out ₩600,000 in Korea earlier this year. The ATM churned out 60 ₩10,000 notes. I literally couldn't close my wallet.

 

[Fredescu]

Pretty sure it is. Some of the tweets are downright creepy otherwise.

 

[viciouskillersquirrel]

I've seen what are considered most of the 'great' works of art, and besides looking at most of them and thinking they're pretty, I've been mostly otherwise unmoved.

I think half the issue for the GREAT works of art is that you need to know what you’re looking at to really see what makes it so special. I’m not ashamed to say that I shed a manly tear or two whilst contemplating Bernini’s Apollo and Daphne.

 

[Yagharek]

I don't remember that Ninja Turtle. What weapon did he have?

Literary analysis pretentions.

 

[Gazunta]

I'm gonna rewrite that Daytona Brendan Brewer comic so he bashes the game for not having the emotional range of a renaissance painter.

You know what sucks? Writing presentations about things that nobody knows anything about.

Edit: Wait, what's this about Choc's dad working for Sony now?

 

[BanShunsaku]

Highfalutin humour up in this bitch. Good stuff

 

[Salazar]

A man who appreciates Bernini can definitely send random girls my way.

Freo are voting on a new club song. Eskimo Joe wrote one!

They're all hilariously shit. Well done Freo.

Lol.

I'm having my 5th long black of today to rid me of another $3.50.

Only $10 of coins to go.

 

[midonnay]

freo heave ho freo heave ho.....something something something.... freo heave ho

All my coins go towards Eclipse mints.

Does anyone know of the hentai where a Grandfather converts his Granddaughter into a toilet?

 

[Fredescu]

Sounds like a Bernini.

This sounds familiar. I recall a similar post made by VOOK64 on Reddit ; )

The only downside is that after about three hours of constant mint-popping you begin to lose the ability to taste subtle flavours.

 

[Omikron]

Are those the mints that mention on the label about being a mild laxative?

Not to mention the runs from all the artificial sweetner.

All them runs.
