The only people who didn't vote Community haven't seen it.

The correct answer is:

Community > Parks and Rex > The Office (US) > 30 Rock


You actually bring up a good point. Many of these votes are probably people voting based on one (or maybe two, possibly three) of these shows that they've actually seen.

I highly doubt many of us have fully watched all 4 of these series through in their entirety, so it can be hard to be fully objective. I mean, if you've only seen one of them, then of COURSE that's going to be the "best one" to you. It's the ONLY one to you.

I'm late to the party, but people griping about Bloodborne amuse me. Playing Bloodborne is like watching plants grow in a garden. The first few days you're going to be staring at dirt, but when when you stick with it, it blossoms into something incredible, giving you a sense of accomplishment for sticking it out.

There's a reason that gardening isn't for everybody.

These shows tend to draw the best haters online.

I suppose all comedies are that way. Big Bang Theory is one of the most commercially successful comedy shows in the last decade, but it's so dang polarizing to talk about.

I think this has to be the most glorious crash I've ever seen from a television series. So many WD fanboys have jumped ship already. I wonder how bad it'll get before AMC pulls the plug.


It's nowhere near the crash of Dexter. Sadly it didn't have as many fanboys as this show


Yeah, I never watched Dexter, but I heard it was pretty bad too. It's like a slo-mo plane crash, in glorious (or goriest, in this case) detail.

The recent slump in cryptocurrency value is helping, but we've still got a long way to go. I fear GPU prices won't be truly "reasonable" again unless the crypto economy has a full-blown crash.

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/amd-nvidia-cut-gpu-prices-143559593.html

Granted, this certainly isn't the first time that greed has indirectly screwed over consumers (and it won't be the last). Also, you can't blame the GPU manufacturers, because for THEM, this is like striking gold. Still frustrating as hell though for consumers.

I love bloodborne

I gotta play through it again sometime soon. The only thing I hate is the the frame rate legit makes me queasy at times.

That's the only game that has ever done that to me


The framerate annoyed me too. However, I recently got a PS4 Pro, and with the "boost mode" enabled, pretty much all framerate issues in Bloodborne are gone now. In fact, I just beat the final boss, and the DLC a couple weeks ago.

It was FANTASTIC!

I'm thinking about getting a VR headset this year. The Oculus Rift and HTC Vive have slashed prices since their release, but the PlayStation VR still has a lower overall cost.

I already have a PS4 PRO and a GTX 1070 for my PC, so either way, I shouldn't have any problems running some decent VR games. But, PSVR can be modded to work with PC's in addition to PS4's, while OR and Vive are stuck with PC exclusively.

Have any of ya'll ever tried PSVR. Is it any good???

Man, that baseball game is old-school. Some of those old "sports" games were fantastic (and even impressive, from a technical standpoint).

For example, my Chuck-E-Cheese (called "Showbiz" at the time) had a Hockey game with foosball style handles (where you could move each player up and down a track, and twirl the handes to spin the characters / shoot. The entire table was encased in a glass dome so you could see everything, but you couldn't grab the puck or fiddle around with the players.

If I find a pic of one of those machines, I'll post it.

Yes, because the Christian god never allows children to be murdered, die of starvation, be molested, etc. Oh, wait.

who said he wouldnt let that happen?

What kind of benevolent god that is claimed to love their children (humanity) would stand by and let that kind of thing happen?


This has to be the worst cookie-cutter response I keep seeing regurgitated in these debates ad nauseam. You can't have it both ways. Either the "God" would have to:

1) give you the freedom to do whatever you want (in which case you can do anything from helping people like Mother Teresa, or slaughtering children like in the Rwandan Genocide; you CHOOSE. You have FREE WILL).

OR....,

2) force his will on you, removing your freedom to choose your actions. You'd have a "Nanny God" who is constantly preventing any action that ever hurts anyone (by FORCE). We're talking 100% authoritarian rule with zero tolerance for anything less than perfection. Granted, there's no murder or hurt with a "Nanny God," but you're reduced to nothing more than a holy robot forced to be perfect all the time.

That's the really sad part of free will. It's a blessing and a curse at the same time.

The amendments I've seen proposed were for Senator term limits, not pay raises. That's not a silly thing to pursue. That's actually pretty damn important.

So, I've been looking around my small town for any arcade locations left, and the only spot I could find (and I mean the ONLY one) was the handful of arcade machines in our Movie Theater lobby. I suppose I could drive for an hour to find a Frankie's or D&B, but that's a pain.


Honestly most of the D&B's I've been to have been fairly disappointing as far as arcade games go anyway. The majority of their stuff seems to be more geared towards ticket games.


Rly??? Dang, that seems to be a sad trend at Frankie's as well. There are very few actual GAMES anymore. Most of the things you see are those cash-grab "gimmick" games (where you have to hit the button at the right nanosecond to win).

I keep hearing people exclaim "That's Unconstitutional!" whenever certain propositions are given to tweak laws. If the Constitution was the end-all, be-all document people make it out to be, there wouldn't have ever been the need for "amendments" in the first place (and, ironically, it's often the "amendments" that are cited as absolute law that should never, EVER be modified).

Flawed people make flawed laws (remember, even slavery was "legal" at one point). Granted, I'm all for patriotism and "protecting our heritage," but this isn't patriotism at this point. It's blind traditionalism. Perhaps we're due for some more "Amendments."
