the combat in DDO ruined every other MMO's combat for me. and RoM's WoW-likeness ruined pretty much everything else about every other MMO for me.
Have you ever liked something that ruined your enjoyment of everything else?

Ever since I discoverd queen I have become closeminded and refused to
listen to anything else just because I consider queen to be that good

Are you being sarcastic? I like Mechas, but "the story" was just... I don't even know what it was, and I bet the director didn't know either.HapexIndustries said:
As for the topic, I'd say plot-twists like
Bioshock, Shutter Island etc, you get my point.
Entertainment. Video-games. Ever since I've been a gamer every other entertainment form is just bland in comparison.
Well, when I started reading manga a lot, anime became really boring to me, oddly enough. I am not overly picking when it comes to games that a single game can ruin the rest for me. All I ask from a game is a story to follow, and a character to kill things with. Be they computer animals and humans, or blocks that when put into a line explode.
Minecraft and Dwarf Fortress have largely made me lose interest in a gaming world where you don't build things. Death Note was so well animated, plotted, and scored that most other anime looks, feels, and sounds unbearably cheap and clunky. My discovery of authors like Brust and Donaldson has made Star Wars novels and their ilk almost unreadable due to the plot holes and terrible dialogue.
Try being a fine artist in the land of Kitsch.
The games aren't usually so bad- they are what they are, but the fans. Jesus Christ, just because you think that that cyber-dragon thing looks "cooler" than Van Gogh's work, doesn't mean you should go trashing impressionists when your only understanding of these artists is the fact that they're in museums.
Usually I can just bite my tongue and ignore those kinds of comments, but...
Urgh.

The Company of Myself...
For a different reason than yours though.
I loved it, it was beautiful, it made me cry for 2 weeks.
...It launched me into a mini depression that caused me to lose all interest in life up until the anger overtook the sadness and my schizoid nature started making me worry far more about all these GOD-DAMN MASKS!
...*cough* anyway, yeah that.

Game of Thrones? If not, you'd best get on that and start watching it.HighPlainsSquinter said:
I'd say that A song of Ice and Fire has made it difficult for me to read fantasy, mostly because I end up comparing them all to ASoIaF and they rarely stack up very well.
I suppose what I really meant wasn't so much the specific story, and certainly not mechas, but the presentation, the direction, the character development, the entirely twisted and almost perverse exploration of the character motivations and their relationship with each other. Especially, though, I mean the examination of man and his place in the universe. The concepts Evangelion hit upon were so bizarre and interesting to me that I don't think any anime will make me feel that way again. At the very end of End of Evangelion I felt a little insane, and that feeling was precious to me, as I've only encountered it a couple times before (the end of American Psycho, the novel; Cerebus, about midway through the series).Piorn said:
Granted, neither American Psycho nor Cerebus made me give up on their respective genres (novels and graphic novels), but I had never encountered anything as strange and amazing as Evangelion, and all my attempts at finding something like it have failed miserably. Evangelion was really like the Twin Peaks or Carnivale of anime, and that type of thing just does it for me. I've kinda gotten over my anime burnout, but my expectations are way lowered.
I've recently begun to favor the Dragon Quest series over Final Fantasy.
That counts, right?
