@Coin Added! And unpack the request a little bit. I'm not making a troll list. Is this game creators?

Heh. Yes.

@Meg said in Forum Factions:

If, by the way, you would like to be added to a group, I will weigh and consider. (Also if I add you to a group and you're actually offended, please let me know. I will remove it. Not you, Roz.)

I feel like I tell once-upon-a-time stories quite a bit. To your discretion, however.

Also,

@Cupcake said in Good TV:

Young Justice and Justice League are leaving Netflix on Aug 1. Just to raise the alert, since there are so many fans of those shows (including me!) on here.

Young Justice will probably be back when the third season comes out.

Ooops. WHen you said 'the absolutely shit' I misread that as 'is absolutley shit'. My bad. So you were totally whelmed then.

LEARN TO READ OMG.

Can I respect someone based on their actions? Why/why not?

@Cupcake was being silly in hyperbole. @Coin was being silly in pedanticism. (Probably. Let's just say he was not serious because it's better that way.)

I think I can speak for all of us, however, when I say: Fuck cancer.

I was mostly being silly, yes, but also because I find the concept of perfection to be insulting on a fundamental level.

But yes. Fuck cancer.

@Arkandel
I would recommend Young Justice but I'm also apparently a horrible judge of shows (see @Coin , I love you too). It's different from what you'd expect out of a Teen Titans-esque concept. I enjoyed it for what it was -- a separate, new take on the teen sidekicks of superheroes. It establishes them as their own thing, a reason for the JL to not be involved heavily, and does change some source material -- but it's good. It's worth watching to see if it clicks for you.

@Coin
I assume you weren't... whelmed... by Young Justice? flee!

I said Young Justice was absolutely the shit. Young Justice is awesome.

But then, it's Greg Weisman, who is awesome.

On Castlevania, I agree that it feels like a big prologue... which is kinda what it is. It's adapted the first like, quarter of the Castlevania 3 video game and embellished it a lot. It's not a finished product at all. It needs a full 13 to really flow, I think. It did a good introduction and setup (and it uses Symphony of the Night as the backstory for Dracula there, which I like). Still, it was pretty good, and a second cour is already greenlit.

Yeah. But I'm annoyed by this thing they do where they produce an unfinished first bit to test the waters and thennnnnn come around to the rest. Like, take a fucking chance on your own product. Have some damn pride.

@Thenomain
It got to the point pretty quickly. Humans piss of Dracula. Dracula wrecks their shit. Cue Belmont (now, once you get to Cue Belmont, things get slow...)

Wrapping up the Castlevania stuff: it's a video game. Like, I watched it, and every five minutes or so, I would spot something that was literally just--like--if I had a joystick in my hand I'm not sure I wouldn't have started mashing buttons out of instinct. The fights are video game-y, the part where Belmont is walking around asking people about stuff is super video game-y. I mean I know it's based on video games but come on people.

I mean, I liked it, don't get me wrong. But everyone's raving way too hard. It was good.

@Coin said in RL Anger:

Except for that one time he went on Twitter and started fighting with his fanbase because they criticized Texas and his wife's from there so obviously he needed to go out into the world and #NotAllTexans.

I am willing to bank his philanthropy, talent, kindness, care for his wife and daughter, physique/looks, etc. against that.

And that's great, but it's also the #1 problem with 'perfection'. Something is either perfect, or it's not.

@Jaded said in Good TV:

@Coin I was trying to be humorous about your reference to context and comprehension. Guess I missed the mark.

Or I just didn't see it. My bad. XD

@Aria said in Aria's Playlist:

@Coin -- Hey, man. It's been, like, five years or some nonsense since I've played Miwgli. I'm just guessing. You could be the real life Santa Claus behind that screen, for all I know.

Yes, I figured. But my snicker was more affirmation than anything else.

@Bobotron said in Good TV:

The Netflix Castlevania series was epic, but WAAAAY too short. I almost wouldn't call it an anime, just an american cartoon with anime stylings.

So it didn’t take 10 episodes before getting to the plot?

Isn't all the Daenerys stuff more than 10 episodes?

You might wanna actually check what he's responding to.

I am aware of only one perfect human being on this planet:

@Arkandel said in RL Anger:

@WTFE Not many people are assholes all the time, but even more importantly, almost everyone is an asshole sometimes.

Absolutely agreed.

Personally when someone acknowledges it I look at it as an admission of fault; it's not an apology - maybe that'll never come - but maybe more of a request - hey, I know I can be a jerk but I've got upsides too... is that okay?

That isn't the kind of usage I'm talking about though. I'm talking more about the people who say things like "well, I'm an asshole, but at least I admit it" or "well, I'm an asshole, but at least I know I'm one". As if knowingly being an asshole mitigates.

If I waited to hang out either here or iRL only with perfect human beings I'd be one lonely son of a bitch.

Hmm... I'm a lonely son of a bitch. Perhaps a strategy change is in order...

I guess that's better than being a hypocrite about it? "I'm not an asshole, I just tell it like it is".

These are equally damning statements.

My saving grace is that when I'm being an asshole I just think I'm being funny and then I cry at night after the realization dawns on me.

But I do it in private. Where I'm not bugging anyone with it.

You whiny bastards.

Get a spell checker already dammit, you misspelled "really awesome", and there's a freakin' space between the words.

These things aren't mutually exclusive, especially in today's television. A show can be 'really awesome' and 'fucking frustrating' at the same time, often for the same reasons.

She asked 'why not', so ''cuz it's really awesome' wouldn't have made any sense.

I'll get a spell checker when you start reading for context and comprehension. >.>

@surreality said in Good TV:

@Coin That was my take on Castlevania, too. The 'first season' is anything but long. It seems like the rough equivalent of, say, the first film in a trilogy. I'm not familiar with the source material, so I can't say if anybody who is should be pleased or not with it, but I liked it. There was only one line that made me wince for its awkwardness, and that only one stood out is somewhat impressive.

More liek the first half of a first movie in a trilogy. Lol.

Am going back through all of GoT this week, 'cause why not.

'Cuz it's frustrating?
