Gaston literally did nothing wrong.

>He was the best hunter in the township and worshiped by many as a hero for his skill.
>He was a little crude and misogynistic but let's remember this is a town where the whole god damn town sung about how odd Belle is for reading a book.
>He insisted that the beast, who'd by this point kidnapped an elderly man, then later his daughter, was a threat that had to be killed.
>He wanted Maurice, whose inventions had exploded and caused him harm, and his mad ravings - prior to seeing the beast, locked up in an asylum.
>After that first rejection by Belle, sure he's feeling low about it. What does he do? He goes to a bar and has a few drinks where his mates pep him up.

What does Gaston do to earn the mantle of villain?

>He dies trying to protect his town from the beast - who had freakishly humanoid furniture attack people, and that's after kidnapping.

Gaston was right about everything.

I went there two days in a row this week and they only counted one visit for my Chiptopia rewards!



It's alright, I have two days of work back to back where I get off before 8pm so I guess I can have two more times this week, but I really like variety....

Any of you who used to know me somewhat well on B.next knew I had a shitty situation almost two years back with a girl. I [kind of/half-assed] asked her out since she was leaving, got a half answer, then she tells me over the phone she never wants to speak to me again.

Every time this happens I feel I get slightly better at it, but the sting still hits hard. It's rolling around again, closing the store tonight with a QT intern from Tennessee and tonight's her last night. I want to say something, anything, but the fear of awkwardness and rejection afterwards is holding me back. Plus I clock out an hour before she does so I have a feeling the Goodbyes are going to be quick and abrupt.

The positive note is that unlike the last several attempts, I do feel I built up a somewhat strong friendship with her, but that only makes this whole situation more volatile.

How do I go about this tonight without fucking up?

O'er rotted Soil, under blighted Sky,
A dread Plague the Wicked has wrought.
In the Light of the Gods, Sword-Sworn at his Side,
'Gainst the Dark, the King's battle is fought.
From the Heavens high, to the Blessed below,
Shines the Beam of a Peace long besought.
"Long live thy Line and these Stones divine,
For the Night when All comes to Naught."

Cosmogony 15:2 "Nadir"

With the game only two months away, I thought it would be a good idea to have a XV thread since the launch is getting closer (plus XIV is in a lul period following patch 3.3 so there's not much activity going on in that megathread).

I got the Ultimate Collectors Edition preordered, and I have Platinum Demo finished and saved on my Xbox's HDD, I've been ready for the game for ten years. Is anyone else excited?

“To all the Evangelion fans, I’m really, really keeping you all waiting,” Anno recently said (via Oricon). “I am truly sorry.”

Continuing, Anno was quoted as saying, “Evangelion can only be described as my soul. It’s a work that chips off parts of me.” It got to the point where nothing was left, and Anno felt trapped while making Evangelion: 3.0 You Can (Not) Redo. He didn’t have a chance to recharge.

“Up until then, after doing the third entry Evangelion: 3.0 You Can (Not) Redo, I thought I wasn’t going to make any more,” Anno said. He then got the offer to do Godzilla Resurgence. “At that time, I went into talks with Toho, and it saved me. I think this is how I’m able to keep making Evangelion. However, since it is a fact that I’m making everyone wait, I deeply apologize for that.”

Sounds like when Godzilla is finished (comes out in ten freakin days btw!!) Anno doesn't plan on idling for very long.

Let's look at those delicious ratings while we wash down the damage control buttblasted with the tears of Paul Feig crying that his career has just been flushed down the toilet. Right there in the bowl along with Sony.

Wew lad, 74% certified "Fresh", I bet the sales for opening day reflect the opinion of these critics on the high quality film and-

17.2 million

Pffffffffffffffffffffft, How do you fuck up this hard? Enough with the bullshit: This movie is irredeemable garbage and it wont even make half its investment in its opening weekend. Seriously, 45 million by the end of Sunday? What a fucking disaster.

Don't fucking expect a comeback in revenue afterwards, next week it's going up against Ice Age for the kids, and Star Trek for everyone else (Star Trek being progressive in its own right but doesn't push it as the only thing its got going for it). China blocked it because they're afraid of spooky scary ghosts, so don't expect any cushion numbers from the east. This movie is objectively bad, end of discussion. Anyone who says otherwise is in full on damage control. Their dreams of making a successful franchise on this new gang is dead and in the grave, where it rightfully belongs.

Next time, don't demonize the people you're trying to pander to and hope they'll still buy tickets to see your shitty movie.

Let it be known that not actually answering legitimate criticisms and doubling down on playing the name game over the internet will cost you money.

How are the early screenings of Ghostbusters 2016 looking? "Great" Is what idiots say without the implying quotations.


Now that the Tumblrinas have gotten what they wanted, they're still blind to the problems right in their own face. They got their movie, they got to insult people illegitimately, and their movie is bombing before even launching. Insulting people with legitimate claims like how shitty the animation, acting, and jokes look for being nothing more than sexist misogynists, and you wonder why no one wants to see it?

"B-But Ian! Word of mouth will spread that the movie is good after its initial opening weekend!"

It's kind of funny in the above comments no one's even trying to defend it with it not being the opening weekend yet, they're already jumping to deranged conspiracy theories of women-haters boycotting the movie. As for the fate of this obvious train wreck after this weekend? Yeah, not like it's sandwiched in front of a movie with far more appeal and a director that (while ALSO being progressive in his own right) isn't a self-loathing misandrist...


See you all at the theaters on the 21st!

I want to beliiiieeeevvvveeee........

They've had the "Next Evangelion work" advertised for several months now but it appears they're getting rather desperate since they're willing to take in students and basically saying "Experience doesn't matter, we'll tell you what to do".

This stems from another comment I made in response to PSU about moving out. Looking back on it now, half of the adult figures in my life (parents, teachers, people who are supposed to instill wisdom on me) are either complete fucking idiots or are intentionally trying to keep my own personal happiness down because they might have an inferiority complex of some sort. I'm hoping it's the former cause I'm not some deranged conspiracy theorist, but God damn did some of them say the dumbest shit.

"Living on your own is awful and a hard experience!"
Bullshit. Just because you couldn't cope with responsibility of personal choice and always need some authority figure in your personal life doesn't mean my personal freedom and right to my own self interest is a bad thing.

"You NEED to go to college to be happy!"
I'm still going to college but it's still going to fuck over the people who say this because of another bullshit thing they say. Happiness is entirely up to you, and if I'm happy making 15 bucks an hour doing something entry level for the rest of my life? Who are you to say I failed? Once again, another situation on an encroaching overreaching authority figure instilling their subjective views as an objective world view.

"You NEED to go into STEM to be successful!"
This is even more fucking stupid. And is basically saying "You can do whatever you want...so long as you go to college!" and then adding on more and more requirements "But you can do whatever you want....as long as it's X, Y, or Z!" The whole point of higher education is the ability to pursue a career in what YOU want to do. But once again, why have your responsibility of personal choice if some uneducated authority figure can decide for you?

"Always listen to your elders!"
Obviously ignoring the racist old people, how could I ever take advice like this seriously after the last three arguments are made up on a foundation of horse shit.

I have come to learn that half of all role models (the ones spouting this irredeemable garbage) have some sort of phobia against personal freedom of choice and liberty and as such, needs some overreaching parental force to dominate every facet of their life, and because of this everyone must need the same form of baby care. The whole point of growing up is being able to make choices for yourself. If you want to be coddled like a man-child in your thirties because you chose to listen to irrational adults as a child go ahead, but please don't force that view on others.

It was meh.

Went to a place called Shake Shack on International Drive about a month ago. Got a coupon for a free milk shake, burgers and fries there were also pretty good. However it's a bit of ways from where I'm at, about half an hour. So I'm obviously not going to go out of my way to get a free shake and fries when I could get either at several different places in about five minutes. Only went because it was a planned meetup.

What am I supposed to do with this coupon now? It expires in like two weeks.

I wanted to get some new dank t-shirts with some power level hiding designs on it. I saw some pretty cool ones on a site called Tee-Public but I don't know how trustworthy these sites are.

Here's one I wanted to get in Slate blue.

My only real online shopping experience is Amazon, Newegg, and CDJapan. I don't know how fishy sites like these tend to be but my brother bought some from Tee Turtle and he was very happy with his purchase, they just don't have designs I want.

I know there's a huge amount of W10 fanboys on here, but I'll try to keep the pros and cons of the OS itself out of this. Although I do feel the OS is nothing more than horse shit drenched in hog piss.

Microsoft's W10 Upgrade practices is Malware by even the loosest definition of the term. It forces itself onto your computer and holds your system at gunpoint with an "Upgrade or....upgrade" option. Sure you can delay it, but eventually it will try to upgrade and give no option of canceling. Computer technicians such as Carey in the video below have worked with Malware for years and have never seen such an aggressive form of adware infest a computer, and what's worst is Microsoft is getting away with it. It is fucking pathetic and pitiful that Microsoft would drop to such disgusting lengths to force users down a certain path when their founder built Windows on making your Personal Computer actually PERSONAL.

You can sign the petition here to have the EFF investigate Microsft's disgusting business practices and have them realize how in the wrong they are.

Not the movie, the guy who used to post here. I haven't seen him post in a while.

Folks I don't know about you, but Asuka is a MESS! She is so weak and low energy Rei could do better! I tell you what folks, I'm gonna tell Shinji to get in the fucking robot, and we're gonna making Evangelion great again! Anno has ruined Evangelion!
