no but really I dont watch TV anymore so I never heard of Fox comedy
I could be wrong since I also don't watch much TV, but I think by "FOX comedy" they just mean it's a "comedy" broadcast on the FOX TV station. Not that they specifically have a "FOX Comedy" station.

My Switchingo card.



This is mixed with what I expect and what I want to see happen. The Switch Bingo site gave me such a hassle and my computer kept freezing so I had to just copy paste what was on my screen and then crop it on Paint.

Well that is hopefully going to be the weirdest thing I see today

Oh dear. One of those sites all about "those darn left" and praising breitbart. Now I know not to go back to that site
:061:
The funny thing is I've heard pretty good things about the show in general, and then...that.

Guess this is something for the 2017 Year in Review in 12 months.

Possibly mildly disturbing image.

There are so many things wrong with this show just by reading the article that the full thing scares me
*grabs megaphone* ATTENTION ALL THREADERS, ARE THERE ANY GAY PRIESTS IN HERE? I REPEAT, ANY GAY PRIESTS? WE INQUIRE YOUR ASSISTANCE
No need to be a gay priest, as long as you've been having visions of a 100-year old dead gay vampire, I believe it qualifies

Speaking of pokemanz, is there any kind of meta for Pokemon Sun/Moon yet or is it still just a free for all?


Not like I would do any real battling outside of Pokemon Showdown but im wondering if there are legit strategies I need to worry about or if it's just going to be solgaleo and tapu koko everywhere and I can just **** around with whatever setup I want.

Jim Sterling literally had a single entry dedicated to all of the **** on Steam (because let's be honest his list would otherwise be entirely made up of Steam Greenlight games and that would be boring) and still had SF Zero on his list.

Plus people typically enforce a "play before put" rule for those lists. A very small amount of people would even think to touch the **** that get's pumped out on Steam Greenlight.

Opinions can't exactly be "hilariously inaccurate" either.

I guess I get a bit too used to greeting hyperbole with hyperbole in my head and let it slip out not thinking. That was hypocritical and I apologize. Opinions can't really be accurate or inaccurate by any measure because they're subjective and clouded by emotion.


The "Top 10 Games I Enjoyed The Least Out Of What I Played In 2016" or "The Top 10 Games I Played That Least Met My Specific Personal Criteria For What I Think Makes A Game Good Or Bad In 2016" would be the proper name for an analytical list like that. "Top 10 Worst Games Of 2016" has the easy potential to slip into hyperbole both due to people getting too worked up about their opinions and actually thinking they're the worst even compared to all games they've never played and because plenty of people use the opinions of others to form their own and would take it at face value without a second thought. If it says "Top 10 Worst Games Of 2016," then I end up taking that at face value and pointing out why that isn't the case, because it's not quiiite the most accurate phrase for what's actually being said. And hyperbole is a bit fun to pick a part even if I'm hypocritical and idiotic enough to slip into it myself.

Oh yeah, I'm on episode 4 of Yuri on Ice and if there's one thing that's better than its beautiful animation and its equally beautiful gay ice skaters is the even more beautiful and gayer soundtrack because damn these tracks are GUREAITO

It's Tapu fest and UB's domain in the online from what I've seen.
Other than that, the occasional Marowak and I think that's it.

You're the same guy who linked a fake story about people angrily destroying war veteran graves because of the mutated M&M and then told people we shouldn't believe everything we see on the news as it's fabricated. Stop talking about a story so ****ing dumb that it HAS to be made up


btw I'm considering watching Gay Skaters too. Damn backlog is FULL as ****, got like 15 things in there already

Somehow this show made me like ice skating and I didn't even have any idea of what it was like besides being skating on ice. From the scenes I've watched, they've all been beautiful.
Also, the tone is way more laid back than what I thought with all the distorted anatomy and the not-so-serious characters. And I love Victor even if he is kind of a **** sometimes.

Unless that backlog has Bungou Stray Dogs, Mob Psycho 100 or Fate/whatever you should watch Yuri on Ice already

Logically speaking, since Steam's floodgates were open during 2016, every single entry on those lists was likely hilariously inaccurate by default.

Even aside from that, there were so many badly received games during 2016 that I practically forgot how much people lashed out against Star Fox Zero by the end of it. I guess people held onto that grudge pretty tight and just decided to be vocal about other things in the meanwhile.

I mean, an interview implied that Nintendo's higher ups were just in flat out denial about the validity of criticism and going "It's not me, it's you" about it, which was. . .incredibly bad, but even with my having such a hard time wobbling around with the controls that I still haven't gone very far in and with the writing and voice acting being kind of sad compared to how good my "anime" games are about it I highly doubt it's actually one of the ten worst games released that year according to the standard I would hold.
Well, let's be honest most criticism at Starfox Zero isn't really what I'd call criticism, its people basically saying, this game isn't what I wanted therefore its bad, is what I saw from most of the criticisms at release

Which if you don't like the game, that's completely fine, but don't go acting like a game that has a control scheme that works just as the Designers intended, is bad, but you just don't enjoy playing with that scheme, then the problem isn't the game, its you. It just means the game isn't for you.

Really all the Starfox Zero backlash did for was basically make it abundantly clear to me that demo of games need to be easily accessible, so those that will enjoy game can get it and give proper constructive criticism and those who get the demo and don't enjoy the game, can skip it and go play a game they will enjoy.

Also what interview was this? Cause do remember most journalistic sites are not neutral and are trying to get you to side with them, if they don't just have a transcript of the interview just put straight up on the site.

But what if about 80% of the people who played it hated the controls to the point Eiji Aonuma (Zelda director) even made a jab at it's control scheme?
When was that proven fake?
Zebei reverse googled the image, those weren't defiled graves from 2016, don't even think they were real graves

Yeah, you're right. How do you mean that they're different than Smash Bros. tiers? In what ways are they different aside from Smash Bros. aside from the better character balance and class/role system?

And yeah, Tracer being in the bottom third makes sense since even before studying the meta, I knew she had problems with tanks. I'll still use her though, I don't care. I pick characters based on how much I like them, not viability at the top level.
It's just a matter of how the games are different. Characters in Overwatch for the most part can go toe to toe with each other compared to something like Smash where you'll be hard pressed to find a Skilled Roy that could beat a Fox. It's not like Widowmaker can't fight a 76, she just doesn't contribute as much as 76
