POSITIVE opinions you have that are different from the norm

[repeating integers]

I think Avatar is an excellent movie (internet)

It's 8.2 on IMDB. That is usually a pretty accurate aggregate. So people like it, mostly.

Well, that's good news. I just see a lot of hate for it on forums.

Some people don't like the plot, apparently. Which I can understand. I liked the execution, though, as well as the worldbuilding and special effects.

I'm not sure I can think of any unpopular opinion that comes to mind.. I mean I think card games are really fun and I enjoy playing massive amounts of video games, which while nerdy and not something I exactly tell people when I meet them, is something everyone I'm friends with knows. I mainly noticed what I bolded above and wanted to send a cautionary warning: there are people out there that will try to rip you apart for using IMDB as any sort of aggregate. I once used it in passing to say something about a movie (I don't really remember the details) and I got a string of responses about how "IMDB is a bunch of 12 year olds voting for their favorite movies over and over" and how useless it was. For the record, I agree with you about IMDB being a decent aggregate.. but you've been warned.

Heh, I could see where those people were coming from when reading most of the early reviews for Outcasts... Between people complaining it was "too middle class", "supporting the feminist agenda", and "not enough aliens", there were people who just raged with poor spelling and grammar and provided no support for what they said. But on the whole, I always find aggregates to be useful (Outcasts at least ended up with a score of 6.2, something you wouldn't expect from the reviews - which says something about the system, I guess).

I still find Metacritic more useful in the end, because it lists user aggregate AND critic aggregate.

Dragon Age 2 was a Awesome Game. Yeah the Companions aren't as laugh out loud as Allistar or Morrigan but we Got Varric so yeah.

I have no problem with people queuing up for days on end to buy the next electronic gadget, Apple or otherwise. The layers of condescension typically directed at them in newssite comment sections and the like is far more puke inducing.
Fanboyism: I am not one, I'll never be one, but it's the passionate adopters that show you how to get the most out of any system you end up buying- even if you have to take some of their more grandious claims with a grain of salt.

GTA IV is possibly one of the greatest games ever.

 

[Carnagath]

I think Therapy? are the best rock band of the last 20 years.

I looooove the Underworld movies.

I think FFXII is the most "hardcore" JRPG yet, with dungeons like Great Crystal and bosses like Hell Wyrm and Yiazmat. I enjoyed every moment of it.

I was blown away by Bioshock 2. It improved many aspects of 1, had a more emotional story, Rapture was just as awesome and it had frequent moments of pure brilliance, like the flooding levels or the part where you play as a little sister and view the world from her eyes as it fades in and out of what it really looks like. Gold.

 

[Araksardet]

Kesha is actually alright (internet, real life and Mars)

Battlefield Earth was a decent B-movie, if you watch it for laughs (internet)

Cats are manly (real life)

I liked the shooter elements they introduced in Mass Effect 2, and I'm generally not a shooter fan (internet)

and i challenge you to come to america and eat some of wendy's new sea salt "chips", they dominate the fuck out of anything that was called a french fry or chip before.

Now that's definitely an opinion different from the norm!

now i'm just curious as i can't quite tell..is that sarcasm or what did you fully mean by the statement?

Spoiler: Previous Comments

Outcasts, by the BBC, was one of the best shows I've ever seen (everywhere)

I really liked Outcasts too, It was a shame it didn't get renewed.

I love Legend of the Seeker, So freakin' cheesy.

I like eating Heinz canned pork and beans despite how gross they are.

KFC chips are the better than McDonald's chips.

I like Windows 7, It's easy to use though I use Opera for my browser.

wait what...since when the fuck do mcdonald's have chips?

Fries, they're called chips in the UK (as in fish&chips)

hmm i see..

well curious then what the hell do you call potato chips? (everyone i know calls them chips, but just to keep from you getting confused i was saying the full name)

and i challenge you to come to america and eat some of wendy's new sea salt "chips", they dominate the fuck out of anything that was called a french fry or chip before.

We call potato chips Crisps as they tend to be thin like Lay's rather than the thickness of Ruffles. I've never eaten at Wendy's. I'll have to give 'em a go next time I'm in America.

ah i see

+1 education on cultural differences

wendy's isn't super popular nation wide, it's an average burger joint for the most part, but the new fries are pretty damn good

also here is an internet phenomenon if you have not seen it involving wendy's and google:

 

[chaosyoshimage]

I liked the first Twilight book. (Never read the others)

I love furries.

I thought Revenge of the Sith was a pretty good movie.

Dragon Age II wasn't a bad game.

I liked the shooter elements added in Mass Effect 2.

I liked the shooter elements added in Fallout 3.

I like Naruto, Yu-Gi-Oh!, and other shonen anime series that seem to have a stigma.

I think Family Guy is worth a laugh.

Since, someone else mentioned this, I also have a tendency to act childish and ridiculous in public just for the hell of it.

I liked the Green Lantern movie and feel it's shortcomings are often way over-exaggerated. (Net)

I think the large influx of casual gamers into the gaming community thanks to the Wii is a great thing as everyone starts out as a casual gamer before looking at the games and industry more in-depth. (Net)

Gamestop is a good store and in no way comparable to Wal-mart or any other fake monopoly. (Net)

Animated shows are often more entertaining than live action shows and at times is sadly more believable. (RL and maybe Net)

My penis is magnificent. (RL and Net)

What I meant by that statement was that Wendys' "new" fries taste hardly any different from their old ones, and their old ones were pretty pathetic. Wendy's ranks near the bottom in terms of fries (Somewhere below McD's but above Steak & Shake). Gimme Jack in the Box (way, way better than Wendy's) or Burger King fries any day. Better yet, Five Guys or Carl's Jr (which you may not have in your area).. though that's not really a fair comparison given the price difference.

 

[Vault101]

Mass effect 3 will be awsome

the world does not suck

Yahtzee's opnion is not actually fact

DA2 was probably NOT A BAD GAME

games generally dont suck

good seaquels seem to outweigh bad seaquels

People who base/change their opnion ONLY "because yahtzee said so" are idiots

Portal 2 was a great lenght and should have been long, people who say otherwise "obviously" dont mind paying large amounts of money for less content as long as its "art" (by yahtzees standards of coarse, because he said portal 1 was a good length)

 

[Plinglebob]

I think JRPGs are a perfectly decent game type that need no changes to the core modal. Also, Final Fantasy XIII is probably one of the best FFs so far.

Country Music is great!

Nintendo's business modal of aiming for the Child and casual markets is required within the gaming industry.

 

[Dr. Feelgood]

I think Resident Evil 5 is just awesome, and I like it more than RE4.

The game is pure win.

 

[AlternatePFG]

I really am enjoying Alpha Protocol. Sure, the cover system is pretty clunky and it's ugly but I can get over it.

 

[Cockney_Jesus]

Wrestling is awesome.
Katy Perry has 0% talent and the fact that she's even sold one record is embarrassing.
Footballers deserve more credit, everyone calls them overpaid divers etc. but they never get a mention for anything good they do.

 

[Rabish Bini]

I think Therapy? are the best rock band of the last 20 years.

Marry me yes?

OT: When looking past the bugs and unfinished-ness, KotOR II was better than the original in every conceivable way.

 

[Chased]

I think the Devil May Cry reboot is a good thing (internet)

Linkin Park is pretty cool (internet)

Micheal Bay is not the worst director in Hollywood (internet)

Sunn O))) is awesome (RL)

Just picked up Monoliths and Dimensions on CD. I would love to see Sunn O))) live but I don't want to loose my hearing.

the only one i haven't had/heard of is carl's jr, otherwise five guys and burger king fries i will admit are good, but jack in the box i think are kinda average, we used to have 3 of them in are area but no one ate there so they all closed down, and i used to think wendy's fries were utter shit, but those new sea salt ones are the bomb IMO, idk if you saw but someone else a while back also agreed so I'm not the only one on that at the very least.

Yeah, that would be a problem. I'd love to get the CD but I am flat broke
