Like I said, I really dislike Black Ops. Probably to the point of me saying "How on earth is this the most popular game on the planet." Believe me, that game has turned away more Cod Fans then I can count and if its bad enough that the same people who would eat sleep and breathe MW2 hate Black Ops, then its probably one of the worst Call of Dutys out there.JourneyThroughHell said:
Ehh, be glad that you actually have your own opinion and aren't a sheep; which is likely around 95% of the dickheads who shun you for not liking it are. Besides, why the hell does it matter what you or they think about the game? It's just a bloody game, shouldn't be such a big deal to the point that people treat you as if you just said Christ was a tosser.
How DARE they bash VALVE!!!! I WILL DESTROY THEM ALL!!!!
On a different, less murder based note; them be bitches. It's your opinion of the game anyway regardless of what they think, so just say yeah, I don't like COD, now put on your big girl panties and deal with it!!
;D

CoD: Modern Warfare 2 is art.
That's my take. Is it impressive art? No. Is it significant art? No. But is is a creative work designed to stir a distinctly human response, yes, so I'd call that art*.
You ever consider the possibility that you are wrong? They may have just not known how to articulate their position without contradicting themselves, they know what the like and in a way isn't that a way of knowing what art is? They like it? Isn't it a bit arbitrary to say art must have an effect to a certain extent before it is considered art, then what is that left in between, is it not art. I mean graffiti is considered art, crude and simple but still art and capable of its own poignancy.
A food product can be art, beyond the mere nutritional function it must have the flavours adjusted to suit the pallet, the please the human being that is not a functional robot but a conscious, intellectual and flawed being.
But ultimately we get into semantics, does it have to be made by man? Or simply realised by human kind, even the viewer them self?
(*art and science are like twins, two sides of the same coin, both pleasing the same human creative and discovering instinct but from different directions, the emotional-intellectual vs the intellectual-emotional. I find it poignant that a mathematical equation and a fine painting can both be called beautiful, both immediate and in depth. I think there is a huge overlap between art and science that go beyond the limits of my vocabulary at least)
Hahahahaha I remember as a kid showing you cared/were really into about videogames was a 1 way ticket to loser ville and a condemnation to the lowest social status possible.
And now you can get socially ostracized for not liking a game? My god, i'm so glad I passed school just before games took off the way they did, my condoleances mate, i'd give ya some advice but obviously none of my schoolyard education can apply to you, completely different generations.

Cool? I'm not cool. Never have been, never will be. In fact, cool was not part of my goal. Making everyone hate me was. You don't get that the goal of my doing that stuff was to have hatrid directed towards me. I wanted people to hate me. More than that, I wanted them to be afraid of me. Not in the "I have immense say over stuff" pseudo-politcal kind of way, but in the "He's insane and might murder you. Don't talk to him, hell, don't even get near him, if you can avoid it," kind of fear.joebthegreat said:
And yes, it was annoying. For me. I had to school-only stalk a kid for 4 weeks. That took a fair amount of preperation (which consisted entirely of figuring out that he had his lunch period at the same time as me. I should probably mention that the stalking was mostly incidental, where I would see him on the way to class and make it look like I was following him, or it was lunch time, when I actually did).
Also, I never thought of anyone as the "Evil others." I thought of everyone the same (and still do); vague disinterest. I simply don't care about others I don't know, at all, untill they give me a reason to care, be it positive or negative. If it's positive, and if you'll let me, I'll probably try to be your friend. If it's negative, I will activelly avoid you. If it's negative and you than proceed to bother me... actually, I won't do much of anything for a long while. It's only when it persists or is particularly annoying that I react.
Actually, thinking about it, I was probably at that level of extremeness (making people hate me) because I was always that "other" who no-one accepted, but unlike most, I enjoyed that position. I liked being left alone, so the bullies, jocks, etc, had to try more intensive stuff to try and bully me, which backfired because, well, you can figure it out.
Thanks! I had been curious as to why I was always a bit too extreme in my methods of dealing with bullies and idiots, and now I know why. You worded your post just right to make me come to the answer on my own.
And yes, I'm being serious.
If I was rude, I apologize, as it was not my intent. Also, if I ofended you directly with my previous post, I apologize for that as well, as it wasn't my intent then, either!
Most people at my school/work would say that. Well, back in high school, in college I seem to be the only one that doesn't play WoW/RPGs constantly. Most of the popular games are generic and overrated, and it makes the console (mostly 360 players) feel "hardcore". Which is kind of funny and ironic since most the ones I know don't play hardcore mode in those games, and even hardcore mode is pretty pathetic compared to Red Orchestra.
It is called.....The BASMNT[sub][sub]the basement[/sub][/sub], a horrid school, where all sorts of terrible evil things lie! Where they think tf2 is bad, half-life and elderscrolls sucks, and where Gabe Newell gets lunch.sheogoraththemad said:
Normally I hear about COD fanboys and I just say "they're unreasonable, just ignore them," but the games your friends dismissed are actually good so yes your school must be purged.
It all boils down to opinions, sadly it seems no one in your school understands that. One of my friends wont let me live down the fact that I said that black ops and W@W were the only fun Call of Duty games and that was mainly for Nazi Zombies. Then again that is more of a jokeing around kind of thing.
