Damn Blue Bombin' rescheduled to just when I have to leave. Also, no UPF?
I was lucky. I played and beat it before it became so big. Much thanks to Austin for his QL. I watched the first 5 min and immediately quit the QL to play it. Didn't wanna be spoiled.
I agree about the UT fandom and I adored the game. Some people are just too crazy about it.

Same here
I had someone tell me a few days ago that they don't want to watch Game of Thrones because it's so popular and I rolled my eyes so hard.
I love R&M, but yeah the fan base is insane. Pickle Rick and the McDonald's sauce are two prime examples of them taking a neat joke and running it into the fucking ground. It became even weirder to me once the episode aired and we found out why he turned himself into a pickle.
Edit: The fan base putting you off a game though. That's kinda how I started to feel about BotW and I'm getting there with PUBG.
Of course you'd say that being one of those people!Yeah lets not do this

Dunno if that'd be worse or better. More of a lateral move, really.

REZ versus No Man's Sky fight for my money CRITICAL UPDATE!
Just found out my brother bought a RIFT. VR is now a thing I could do at his place
So... REZ? + set up steam sharing?

I played Undertale in December the year it came out. It's a really good game (with an even better soundtrack), but I can understand why the fanbase thing would turn people away.
I was gonna say that it's relatively easy to just ignore it, but then I thought about how I ended up doing the same thing with Rick and Morty, except it goes more towards the creators than the fans in that instance.

seriously this is why i never talk about rick and morty despite being a huge fan
Yes. Enjoy euphoria.
YES, make sure to play it completely blind. Don't look up anything about it.
Post a picture of a robot and then a picture of a truck. I need this Dan

I can definitely understand being pushed away by a thing's fanbase, simply associating annoying people with a piece of media can quickly erode your desire to check it out, but I've been trying to keep myself from doing that ever since trying Supernatural a few years ago and realizing I really dug it.
Whether or not it lives up to the hype is hard to say, I guess, but I think it's fantastic. (And +1 to playing it as blind as possible.)

At this point, I wouldn't roll my eyes at someone making a smart decision even if it's for a bad reason. So many people still think they should watch GoT because popular = good when so much of it has been bad.
also I have no idea what the pickle thing even is beyond Ko Takeuchi making fanart of it the other day

Oh wow, they bumped Blue Bombin for me.
Thanks Alex.
Thanks Alex.
Yeah, I avoided watching Amélie Poulain for years because of people who incessantly kept pestering me to watch it.
When I finally did, I actually loved the movie.
And so it begins.
I have not watched a single episode despite people telling me it would be "my thing" Nah thanks.

Excuse you
I wouldn't say it's mostly bad.
just (personally) too much bad to be worth starting to watch now

I would say it's more like 50/50 good/bad honestly

I now own REZ.
I might also buy No Mans Sky because I am a grown up with no self control

You're also not dirt poor. Now go forth and buy things for your own enjoyment.
Fucking awesome
I think it's a good show (It used to be a great show) but roll my eyes at the people who constantly laud it as one of the greatest ever.
/GOT recap
looking for where it was recommended it to you.....
still looking....
....weird. not here.
Well all the same, you just keep on keeping on

Same, been trying to curb gaming purchases recently as there will be a metric fuckton of games in the fall, not to mention some worthless shitbag got my debit card number somehow and sucked almost $1100 out of my bank account, but dammit that new update looked too damn good.
Plus I am bargaining with myself that it comes down between getting this and waiting to get Undertale until sometime in the future, or skipping this and getting Undertale on Tuesday. I think getting NMS is going to win this argument.
This was the show that made me tune out the "opinion of the masses" permanently. Watched the first season, thought it was ok and had potential. Forgot about the show when season two happened (recapped by friends and boy did that seem like a bad season), watched all of season three (where every episode spent the majority of the time building up to the next episode and nothing ever really happens), then stopped watching completely. I honestly do not get what people see in that show, who knew they could make a zombie apocalypse so boring?

My entire GOT experience was watching the first episode with my dad when it aired and feeling awkward when all the sex happened.
Never watched episode 2. Good to have a show like that I could watch at any point though.

Yeah not here. Sorry I was being off-topic bringing my RL in here.
This is how I am with most TV. I've never seen breaking bad but its nice to have that in my pocket for whenever my wife and I want to start a new series
The person I rolled my eyes at watches Basketball Wives and Love & Hip-Hop every week.
I can respect someone saying "it's not my thing" or "I don't think it's good" but something being popular as the sole reason you refuse to watch it is just dumb.
GoT is overall better than Mad Men don't @ me
That's Westworld to me, saving it for a rainy weekend someday.
GoT used to be that show to me, I didn't watch a minute of it until last year when I decided to give it a shot and ended up marathoning the first 5 seasons in just two weeks.

I feel we're at a point where the people who still feel the need to complain about Undertale fandom are more annoying than the fandom itself. The game's like 20 years old already.

Never play a F2P game. I just started playing Path of Exile again and 2 hours then accidentally opened the premium store "Wow! I can make my flaming skulls green for only 10 bucks!" then an hour later "Well, now that I've got this sweet green flaming skull theme going for me I might as well commit and finish it off...."
I always find people complaining about a fandom way more annoying than the fandom itself.
Back then they said it was all over tumblr and all I could think was, "Who the fuck uses tumblr?"
Just won 10 matches of Splat Zones (best Ranked Mode) in a row and reached A-. Cool.
Tried For Honor today (the free weekend is going on, go and download it if you're interested). I can see why some people really love it. But not my cup of tea. It looks real pretty though on my PC.
Monster Hunter Stories demo is a bit weird. You can tell that game was not designed for the ancient 3DS hardware. Battle system is kinda boring too. But it's pretty charming and the graphics are really good for a 3DS game. You can also transfer your save game to the full game if you want to.
I also downloaded XCOM 2 on Steam. Maybe I'll start that up this weekend.
PUBG stream was entertaining.
