You mean you don't want  MW3: FIFA Spec Ops edition?

I would've been disappointed at Jared Leto's performance if I honestly expected much from him--I didn't.

I think they realized they were never gonna top Heath Ledger, so the Joker was downplayed. Either way, I respect the decision, and that alone would've raised my score a little higher, because one of my biggest fears going in was that the Joker was going to be shoved in our faces, and Leto was gonna be too much of a tryhard--but he wasn't. He kinda played it safe.

3/10

Super boring. Didn't laugh once. Cringed twice (at Margot Robbie). Liked Will Smith and a couple of pretty shots.

Action scenes were terrible. Didn't give a shit about anything that was happening. Thought the premise was dumb.

I could be nicer and give it a 4/10 for effort, but I liked so little of the things that I saw that I can't justify it.

R-Type DX
Gargoyle's Quest
Mega Man V
Castlevania II: Belmont's Revenge
Wario Land II
The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons/Ages

Does this help?
I assume he means non-Color, but if not, I would recommend these, too.

I don't know about 2, but Wario Land 3 was excellent.

>buy

LOL you can't fool me.

Anyway, Link's Awakening is actually piss easy, but it's a cute little Zelda game. What you're thinking of Zelda II for NES.

There weren't a lot of original Game Boy games that I really liked. GBC games were just so much better.

Everyone--everyone--hates Onision. This is a redundant thread.

I'm glad you somehow felt the need to throw in "the left" at the end there, as if Onision represents the left.

I start off with a small spoiler, but if you keep up this trend I'm gonna spoil bigger things
you realize you can get banned for that, right

14921
Don't let it die I'm going to come back to it as soon as I'm back
Good to hear.
My biggest fear is that I'll forget what happened by the time I get back to drawing.

Because I just awoke Rayquaza at Sky Pillar...
Do you release everything that dies, or do you put them in a graveyard box?

a genuinely good movie (BvS)
LOL

Also, the Dark Knight (which is fucking DC) is my favorite comic book movie of all time, and one of my favorite films in general.

BvS sucked dick.

14924
When I noticed my thread had gotten 72 replies I had actually expected a worthwhile convo to read, not Fallacy fallacy, ad Hominem bullshit.
you have LC's piss-poor argumentation skills to blame

LMAO

The UN should ban celery because it causes the oppression of women and children. If you prove me wrong and suggest that we tackle things like the sex trade and repressive theocratic regimes in the middle east instead because those things will actually help to alleviate the suffering of women and children you're just committing a fallacy.
yes

mostly because you haven't actually DONE the underlined part yet

and maybe there are other good reasons to ban celery that you're not accounting for

14926
Let me break down the situation here.

"UN wants to ban hentai."
Why?
"They say its to protect women and children."
Well, there's no evidence to propagate that point.

Verbatim: 'Well you seeeee you're right that hentai shouldn't be banned, but its not because the point that the UN is making is wrong, its because of my own secret feelings that I'm going to be purposefully vague about so I can get my dick hard when somebody asks me what it is.'

I don't think that matters.
At all.

'BUH-BUH-BUH'
'MY THING!'
'THE THING THAT I WAS THINKING ABOUT'

*Gotta somehow make this conversation about me so someone will ask*
probably the shittiest possible way you could've "broken this situation down"

i probably said this three times, but i'm not talking about my "secret feelings" about hentai, which i don't have, because everyone knows that i fucking hate hentai

do i think hentai should be banned because i fucking hate it? no, and i never once said that it should

there are OTHER arguments that, while i don't personally subscribe to them, are STILL out there, and they're worth responding to

unlike you, i'm capable of looking at a number of different perspectives than my own

14927
Except that's how a democratic organization like the UN works.
where do the limited resources come into play here

suppose hentai were banned in the US by democratic means

what about the UN having limited resources is relevant now
It requires resources to enforce legislation.
uh, yeah, no shit

the point is that, with hentai banned, the limited resources to enforce the legislation don't matter anyway--it's a different matter entirely

piracy is illegal, but no one ever gets arrested for piracy, because it's a waste of time and money

the same exact thing would apply to a hentai ban--so the limited resources argument is, again, irrelevant

14928
I'm starting to think this is all just a damage control effort by Verb after he wrongly accused me of using fallacies and nobody agreed with him.
none of which you have refuted in any way

just because people are stupid and don't agree doesn't mean that they're right
Quote
Especially since he expects me to list every single one of the countless possible wackjob arguments out there as to why somebody out there would be opposed to something in order to prove that i don't fail/am full of fallacy/whatever else he decides to use to keep this going until he gets the last word.
the only reason to be against a ban on hentai is because hentai is harmless

but trying to argue that the UN's resources would be "better" spent on other things is fallacious

this really isn't that complicated

14929
Only giving attention to the arguments that actually have standing doesn't mean that I think other arguments don't exist. If you honestly expect me to give the time of day to all the arguments out there that don't actually matter and aren't worth mentioning you really are looking to start shit over nothing.
but you see, saying that they don't matter doesn't mean that they don't matter

they're wrong

but they still matter

14930
So basically you don't have an argument and you've been making a big deal out of nothing.
so because i'm on your side, i'm not allowed to point out when you make bad arguments
Except every point you've suggested has been unrelated to the topic of discussion.
saying that they're unrelated doesn't make them unrelated

okay, every point you're bringing up right now is unrelated to what i'm saying

I WIN! :D

is that how it works

14931
He literally believes his opinion on hentai is at all relevant to the discussion at hand.
i'm not talking about my opinion of hentai

i never once brought it up, and i'm not using it as an argument for anything at all ever

14932
Except that's how a democratic organization like the UN works.
where do the limited resources come into play here

suppose hentai were banned in the US by democratic means

what about the UN having limited resources is relevant now

14933
I really don't care about any other arguments out there.
that doesn't mean they're not there, and it doesn't make it any less fallacious for you to not acknowledge them until now

14934
That would be fine if that were the case, but you're not.
oh, okay

well, i'm glad you know how i think better than i do
Quote
Nothing you've said so far is even relevant considering you're apparently not even talking about the same subject as I am.
no, that's not it

it's that, as i've already stated, you're so myopic that you honestly believe the only two reasons someone would want to ban hentai are because of 1). alleged social harm or 2). personal distaste

you refuse to acknowledge other potential reasons someone would want to ban something like hentai, and that's why you fail

14935
Guys can't you see Verb is completely supporting your opinions while attacking them at the same time?

Dummies
if someone were to become a vegan because of health reasons and not ethical ones, i'd support their decision, but i would attack their reasoning

it's possible for the people on your side to be fucking idiots who make your side look bad, and it's necessary to argue with these people

It was at this point Andy realised Class was just listing people who disagree with him.
but then he would've listed me

14937
So basically you don't have an argument and you've been making a big deal out of nothing.
so because i'm on your side, i'm not allowed to point out when you make bad arguments

14938
In this circumstance it does though because we're on the subject of the suffering of women and children.
you are

i'm not
Quote
if you're going to use "I don't like it" as the crux of your argument as to why it's a problem
why what's a problem

hentai?

i don't think hentai is a problem

14939
Whether or not you have the resources to do something is always relevant bucko.

The rest of us have jobs.
nothing about having limited resources necessitates that you use them for what other people consider worthwhile

14940
explaining why you think they apply doesn't mean they actually do
and attempting to write me off with dismissive phrases like "what you think" doesn't make what i'm saying any less true

None of it is faulty. There is nothing faulty about saying that if you want you're going to tackle the problem of suffering of women and children you should fight the things that are actually causing it instead of going after a completely unrelated non-issue.
yes, "tackling the problem of suffering of women and children" is the only conceivable goal of banning hentai

there are no other possible goals or ulterior motives
