I agree. If there is ever a HoN vs. LoL discussion, I'll say "Well, at least HoN doesn't have HotshotQQ".OneEyeX said:
Anyway, I agree with pretty much everything you said.
The only LoL stream I enjoy watching is SYDTKO. He used to stream HoN, and I kinda followed him over to LoL. It's not as fun watching LoL though, I dunno why. I like playing it a lot, but watching it is a snoozefest IMO.
If I may save you the trouble, i thought Breaking Dawn was horrible. I really want to tell you why but it would be a huge spoiler in my opinion. The books were mediocre, but the hype about them is a little beyond the scope of what I feel it should be.Deoxys0125 said:
Sonic fanbase hands down. There is literally NOTHING that other fanbases can do to be worse than the modern day Sonic fanbase. You can argue MLP and Invader Zim fans are just as bad. You are more than welcome to contest that they could even be worse. You would still be wrong, but you're more than welcome to try.
Invader Zim would be overlooked today, but back when it aired, it was considered ground-breaking and it would finally put Nick up on top, kicking CN off of its pedestal. It did lolrandumb humor better than damn near anything out at the moment. It was spastic, coming in without warning and ending just as quickly. The acting and tone made it even better, switching between calm dialog and elliptic fits of nonsensical yelling, with the cast acting as if it was completely normal. The art, animation, and coloring were mind-blowing for a children's show. It is probably the last truly great cartoon from Nickelodeon (sorry Avatar fans, but the finale really screwed the pooch).
Friendship is Magic was the show that girls SHOULD have been getting for three decades. The characters and their chemistry was what made the show. They all weren't a bunch of Mary-Sues or damsels in distress, nor were they all buddy-buddy with each other. While the show doesn't have the most fleshed-out cast, it serves as a very solid template of how shows aimed at an "unprofitable" demographic should be done so it can transcend negative labels. If at least that much is learned from the show by future producers, writers, directors, etc. we could have another golden age in animation within the next five or ten years.
Sonic, however has had far more bad than good at this point in time. It hasn't had a game that would be looked back upon as a "classic" since the launch of the Dreamcast. It has introduced new character after new character that none of the fans from the Genesis era liked. The games has time and time again lost sight of its original routes, and when they do try to go back to the basics, they STILL manage to fuck it up. The Sonic series has been the biggest laughingstock in the video game world for over a decade. They're like a band that ruled the world in the 80s, but haven't made even so much as a passable album since then.
Even if the fanbases of Zim and FiM are shit, the shows aren't. Sonic has NOTHING left to justify the base.

Don't worry too much about it mate. I came into Fallout by the ways of Fallout 3, knowing nothing of the series but being magically drawn in by the lunch box collector's edition(of which the bobble head was a great little feature^^). Loved it, researched it, and was just itching to play the first two(being a huge fan of isometric RPG's) and loved them too. But it's completely rational to be uncertain whether you will enjoy the first two, because they are SO incredibly different to what followed. So do what I did : download a pirated version, try them out, then buy a proper version if you enjoyed the experience.Mr. Google said:

The sad part is, despite all the money and popularity LoL has received, Riot still can't manage to act like a professional company. I like the devs well enough, but the business-end is handled very poorly. That may have something to do with why LoL is full of whining brats... that and the fact that its F2P. XPSunrider84 said:

The funny thing is that Colbert and Stewart are rather fair in the sense that they have a satirical take on news as a whole, not with such a pronounced bias. The problem is, however, that many of their fans around the world, mostly young people from 15-25, allow the satire of the Right-Wing news outlets to form their entire opinion. Many young people look down their nose at Conservatives or, in America's case, Republicans, and see them as just as biased a caricature as Beck's fans se Liberals/Socialists.
And although you seem smart enough, I can tell that this applies to you as well, for as soon as I typed "extremist news" and mentioned Glen Beck, your mind jumped straight to Right-Wingers being the extremists.
People like you should be thankful that I'm smarter than those idiots.Zetion said:

Hey, I know that there are Left-wing extremist just as there are Right-wing extremists. I never said that all extremists are right-wing. The only reason why I focused on the Right rather than the Left (as if they could be so easily grouped...) was because Glen Beck is conservative and the Stephen Colbert Report is a satire of right-wing news shows, which were the two examples you gave. Hence Right-Wing Extremists were foremost in my mind rather than Left-Wing Extremists.KAPTAINmORGANnWo4life said:
I do agree that most people don't really bother to actually find out what the Right actually believes before they start bashing them though. I'll admit I don't know a huge amount about what different conservatives believe, but I try to avoid criticizing them about it due to said ignorance.
That's one of my problems with it too. With all those microtransactions, LoL is basically printing money for them, but they are still struggling with the servers and whatnot. I mean, sure, it takes some time to adjust, but this is bordering stupid right now.Fappy said:
Honestly? All fanbases piss me off. Because mosst of the time the fans are piss drinking assholes who will defend even the owrst game/movie/band.
Looks like half of these posts in this topic are more "I hate fans of this things that I hate because I hate it" rather than "I hate these fans because they are fucking annoying."
That said, I am a Sonic fan (big time since I was a kid), but I have stopped talking about Sonic and his games with anyone because everybody falls into one of two categories: The Sonic haters "OHHHH WHY DOESN'T SEGA JUST KILL HIM ALREADY ALL HIS GAMES SUCK AND HE'LL NEVER COME BACK FROM THIS!!!!" No, that's not true. Sure, he's had a run of bad games, but the portable titles were always decent, Sonic 4 is doing well, and Unleashed's day stages were pretty awesome. Sonic Colors expanded on those stages and was praised by most. Then there are the Sonic fanatics "NOOOOOO YER LYING I LURVED EVERY SONIC GAME EVER PEOPLE WHO CRITICIZE HIS GAMES JUST NEVER LIKED HIM IN THE FIRST PLACE!" Also not true. Well, maybe some people are like that, but nobody can really deny that Sonic had a bad, bad, BAD run of games since the Dreamcast days and has only recently started to get any better. Denying that Sonic games have flaws, especially glaring ones, just hurts the series as a whole, and far more than any harsh criticism would. You love Sonic, I get it, but you aren't doing him any favors. Shut up.
So yea, both of those people are extremely annoying, and I've met only a few people in the real world or the internet who aren't either.

In fact, I hereby take back everything I said in my last comment, in favour of ranting about the religious types. They are the true, worst fanbase ever. If you don't believe exactly what I believe you're going to be eternally punished whilst on Earth; then in death when you think you are safe you will have no choice but to retreat into the fiery pits of purgatory. The preachers - you know who I mean. Yes we accept you believe in a (or multiple) God(s), and that you have some sort of 'higher calling'; but that doesn't mean you have to force it down our throats! I'm no atheist, and I'm open to the possibility of these things existing and maybe even being true; but we made our decision not to follow a religion, just as you probably made yours to follow one, so be as accepting of us as we are of you if you please. Anyway, rant over, I just genuinely do NOT like people who do that.
Yeah but it's not due to a visit that I don't like them, it's the fact that they can't keep themselves to themselves, also they act like it's some exclusive members only club when it's really just the cesspit of the internet. (Once again, referring to /b/ & /v/ in general, don't know much about the other ones so can't comment on them)wootsman said:

This wasn't really the case though. I can understand your point and do. But this was when I literally joined a pregame lobby for a highrise round on MW2 and these 2 kids instantly started giving me aggro before I had finished loading in. They sounded too young to have been around in the xbox classic days to have been subject to the above reasoning.CD-R said:
Reality is some people are just tragic bastards with big mouths who hide behind their monitor.
I also made sure to include a UK example of abuse in the COD fan base as well to make a point of not raging on the USA as I have met a lot of really decent American games. Oddly enough most of the nice ones reside on L4D 1&2, I met some black American dudes (you can tell from their voices and way they speak awesomely enough) on Gears of war 1&2 and they were also really funny and chilled out guys, great to game with.
Just seems to be the wannabe baby gangsta hardmen in the COD games who haven't hit puberty yet that have the issues.
Again man, its not all Americans. I encounter just as many English douches in COD games which is why when I play Black Ops to kill some time until my friends come on so we can play Bad Company 2 together I usually sit in a party with someone in my friends list to avoid hearing them play their chav music, cussing each other and generally talking with the IQ of a brain damaged rock.Hawk eye1466 said:
I do, sadly, have to disagree with you on the BF suggestion. Whenever I've played it on my own and talking in-game chat I've had nothing but pleasant conversations with decent gamers from around the world.
I know this isn't exactly on topic and I'm not making a racial slur. Just want to ask.
Has anyone else noticed the sudden MASSIVE surge in french players these days?
When I'm on Black ops on those rare occasions where I listen to in game chat), TF2 or just about any other massively played online game I have found that the UK / American player base seems to have peeled away into mostly french players. Not an objection as I have no beef with them. It's just the sudden surge in their numbers that caught me off guard.
