St Patrick's Day would be good.
Oh, would you look at the time, that's next week.
this is such a meme holiday if you're not irish it's actually taken very seriously in american elementary schools--everyone dresses in green and we get clover shaped cookies at the end of the day and shit then in everyone forgets about it by middle school, like groundhog day

Some people feel that DDOSing is an acceptable answer to stopping what they view as click bait reviews meant to bring in ad revenue and stick out on review aggregate sites like metacritic. that's an interesting point, but i'd only consider it clickbait if he titled his review something like "DEATH of the Wild!!! Worst Zelda Game Yet???" and a score like 1/10 or 2/10 with a lousy, poorly-written article filled with irrelevant, nonsense points like "Why is there no green tunic?" that type of cancer might actually be worth DDoSing, because that's not a fair critique and that doesn't deserve ad revenue but, skimming it over, jim seems to have written a fair enough review, albeit with some bad (yet wholly inoffensive) opinions that he's 100% entitled to so meh also it's jim sterling so i'm sure this isn't even the first time this has happened to him

Making fun of horror cliches has become a cliche in and of itself--just watch Scream, Evil Dead, or Army of Darkness. Or even Shaun of the Dead.
You left out the best one: Tucker & Dale vs Evil.
I still need to see that actually, because this scene is amazing:

Maybe someone here thinks that. Maybe they don't. Doesn't hurt to open up some new discussion.
Do you have a link to the review?

So how do you guys feel about people DDOSing a reviewer who gave it a 7/10?
What kind of question is that?
A question asking people how they feel about people DDOSing a reviewer who gave this game a 7/10.
AKA a dumb one you already know the answer to do you expect people here to be like "YEAH HE DESERVED IT FUCK HIM"

It isn't meant to be a parody (though there is some humor), and it doesn't try to do anything that those movies did. It's not a parody of the tropes, it's a satirical commentary about what we view as entertainment, and how films often have to resort to those tropes to please audiences. I'm not trying to change your mind, and I hate to suggest you didn't get it, but just based on your reaction, I don't think you did. It's definitely the opposite of a love letter to contemporary horror films.
Multiple sources are telling me that the film was an attempt by the writers to "revitalize the horror genre by subverting its tropes," which sounds pretty love letter-ish to me. Otherwise they'd want to burn the genre to the ground, and not revitalize it. And not make a film that has so many geeky wink-wink, nudge-nudge horror references. "Parody" and "satirical commentary" are pretty much 1:1 in my mind. They're both criticisms by nature, and I certainly did "get" that. I may not have gotten it from the angle of "ooh, isn't is weird how much we glamorize violence and gore in our movies" but that's a pretty hackneyed and overwrought message... too. I'm glad you liked it more than I did, but I just felt really bored with it. Because like I said, I've seen it already. Watch Scream or Funny Games by Michael Haneke (oh no, I'm turning into Adam from YMS).

Drive.
I like two things in movies, copious amounts of action (Bayformers/Expendables) and/or good dialogue.
i recommend the Raid series

As a horror movie, yes.
No, I thought it failed as a comedy too. See, it's very difficult to criticize a movie that's hackneyed on purpose, because then people will just tell you, "That's the point! It's making fun of those cliches!" and I get that. It's a really convenient out for hack film directors like Joss to make any film they want and use the parody card as a shield for all criticism. I think it's possible to make fun of something poorly, and in a way that doesn't offer any insight or further commentary on the subject that's being parodied. That's what Cabin felt like to me. All the gags fell flat for me because they've already been made a million times before by other more talented directors. Making fun of horror cliches has become a cliche in and of itself--just watch Scream, Evil Dead, or Army of Darkness. Or even Shaun of the Dead. You could say it works as a fun little tribute/love letter, in the same way that a small child's drawing of a giraffe is a tribute to his interest and passion for biology--which is all well and good, but you know deep down it's not a very good drawing. For me, the best part was the credits for the excellent song choice.

Gotta feed them 3 times.
Like, in a row, or could I go back to the first dog I met and feed it twice?

Zombieland. I guess I can understand why people like it, but it is vastly overrated imo
Speaking of that, Cabin in the Woods. That shit was fucking horrible.

That's sounds so counter-intuitive... why not have a chest marked beside the shrine only if there's still chests to open inside?
I dunno, I never thought of it that way.

Y'know that shrine next to the Akkala stable, where you have to tilt your pad to knock a ball in the pit?
Idk if anyone found that difficult but I just did it accidentally on my first attempt lmao.
It only took me two tries, but the chest room where you have to knock the ball at an angle took me several.
I wasn't even aware that room was there
Yeah. On your map, there should be a chest icon next to the name of every shrine where you got all the chests. If there isn't one, there's still a chest there. I'm a completion junkie so I'm going out of my way to collect every chest. That's one thing that irked me about the dungeon--there was no, from what I could tell, way to tell if you had all the chests opened.
