  1. The Novel "The Scarlet Letter" is basically the book equivalent of Birdemic: Shock and Terror, except without any bad acting to entertain, and the preachy as crap message being about Transcendentalism instead of Environmentalism.

     

    Otherwise, they are similar. Preachy as crap message, Badly paced plot, Cringeworthy Dialogue, Symbolism that is barely subtle, Cardboard Characters. (especially Hester Prynne. Pearl and Arthur Dimmesdale also have barely any personality, but they don't come close to Hester's level of awful. She's basically Rod in comparison to Nathalie and Rick.)

     

    This book should have been a philosophical essay. As a Novel, I have no Idea how it became one of the most important novels in american history. It would have fared better as a philosophical essay.

     

    But Hey, that is just my opinion. Maybe It will change as I grow older.

      I can appreciate the impact that it had on culture in the 19th Century.

      But Just because you are trying to bring a message across, does not mean that you can ignore things like good characters and plot. As I mentioned before, I think Charles Dickens was able to do both in Oliver Twist.

      You can, but why bother putting in real effort when you can just make a political statement and get the same result?

      It's funny, I had to endure both of them this year too. At least The Scarlet Letter is shorter than Moby Dick though.

  2. I can't get gale wings fletchling at the beginning of the game. Therefore, this game is garbage.

     

     

     

    Oh wait...

  3. Today was my eighteenth birthday. To celebrate, my dad let me have a sip of his bottle of wine.

     

     

    If Mom and Dad were trying to keep me away from Alcoholic Beverages for the rest of my life, they most definitely succeeded. The Wine tasted like cough medicine.

      Happy birthday :).Have a great day.

      Maybe it really was cough medicine.

      Whenever someone tells you that you must drink just because you're allowed to, tell them they're wrong

      It wasn't cough medicine. The Bottle had the government warning on it and everything. It was also Red in Color. No cough medicine I ever had was red in color. It was also completely fluid, like water. Cough Medicine is usually a semi liquid, in my experience.

       

       

      But yeah, I'll settle for Lemonade at parties. Assuming I even go, which is unlikely.

  4. When Survive comes, I will play this and say:

     

     

    Goodbye, Metal Gear. You have provided me with many hours of fun and feels. Your brilliant stories, your music, your stealth gameplay, your 2 turn based RPG's that i couldn't get into, your fun hack and slash spin off, your characters, , your genetically cloned soldiers. your cyborg ninjas, your american politicians, your memes,  your themes, your relevance to modern america...

     

    I'm going to miss it all.

  5. Random Fact: If you took the Budget for "The Emoji Movie", you could build a homeless shelter in every U.S State.

     

     

     

  6. So the Big Event, on December the 15th this year, Most of us are going to see a movie. Specifically Star Wars Episode 8: The Last Jedi.

     

    So I have a question. Will we get a Poorly Written mess. with unrelatable characters and A Story that turns out bad because it focuses less on trying to be it's own film and more on trying to be it's predecessors? A story that only gets praise for not being the Prequel Trilogy? 

     

     

    Or will we get a film that gives us a properly written story, characters that I can root for, No wasting of time with Rathtar sequences that have nothing to do with the plot. Maybe Daisy Ridley can learn how to act? Maybe Kylo Ren's Sudden change from Slaughtering villagers to "I'm Being Torn Apart. I want to be free of this Pain" will actually make some sense?

     

    Time will tell.

      Please, Ryan Johnson. I want to walk out of the theater excited that I had seen a Star Wars movie, The Way that I had been when I was 6 years old, watching Revenge of the Sith in theaters that Summer of 2005.

      "when I was 6 years old, watching Revenge of the Sith in theaters that Summer of 2005."

       

      fuk I feel old

       

      Anyhow, I personally don't have very high hopes for SW8. I believe they'll keep doing more or less the same thing they did with SW7: not very well-written, not very compelling, shamelessly vampirizing the OT. An entertaining movie on its own, although full of holes, but also an unimpressive and frustrating SW.

      Mark Hamill has stated he didn't like how Luke turned out in SW8, and I actually trust the guy's judgment on his own character more than the writers'. But time will tell I guess; maybe we'll have some good surprises.

  7. I'm Planning to make a fangame about an emo edgelord.

     

    All I know is that the main character is going to be black, and that I'm going to use several Soundtracks from Metal Gear and Final Fantasy.

      Another thing that I know is that I am not gonna be able to work that hard on it until my senior year of High School ends.

  8. So long as these nanomachines swim through my veins....

     

     

    You will never keep me down.

  9. Reflecting on my life, when I was little, I used to be scared of my grandmother, and I dreaded going to see her. All because of her physical appearance.

     

     

    Now, I think that I should have been more appreciative of her. She is considerably more Pleasant to be around, compared to my parents. Whenever she makes a Joke, I'm able to laugh. When Mom makes a joke, I stare at her blankly, because she had just previously yelled at me for some blunder. When Dad makes a Joke, I ignore him. He had most likely been unnecessarily stern to me earlier. 

     

    We are going to visit her this December. She is approaching her 69th birthday.

      I honestly do want to talk to her again. When Mom talks to me, I'm internally thinking "Please get out of my room". When My Grandmother talks to me, I want to keep the conversation going.

  10. It is Written. Only Link can defeat Ganon.

  11. It's one of the good old days after 9/11, so i think this is fitting.

  12. The Eclipse looked awesome.

  13. With the Sarcastic manner of the Grand Dream City Daycare, I am surprised and slighly disappointed that you didn't include any commentary on the disturbing implications, like treating our dittos like sex slaves and Parental Incest in order to get egg moves.

      I think that would've been a little bit too out there, haha. 

  14. A man who dresses like a stereotypical mexican fights a politician who wants to, and i quote, "Make America Great Again".

     

    Kojima predicted the future. The Man is a holy prophet. 

  15. Pokemon ReJEWvenation is the best pokemon fangame ever.

  16. Hayden Christensen was a better actor than Daisy Ridley in the Star Wars movies. At least throughout Attack Of The Clones and Revenge Of The Sith, he could make different facial expressions throughout the movie. Daisy Ridley kept the same facial expression throughout 90% of The Force Awakens. And with the recent Trailer for the Last Jedi, It looks like that won't change.

      Not difficult , considering how bad ST7 was...

  17. I'm thinking of Posting a Top 10 Worst "Gravity Falls" Episodes.

     

     

    How does one go about making this list, when the Show doesn't actually have any Bad Episodes at all?

  18. The Top 5 best Disney channel and Disney XD shows.

     

    5. Phineas and Ferb

    4. Kim Possible

    3. Star Wars Rebels. (AKA The First Good thing that Disney did with the Star Wars License.)

    2. Star Vs The Forces of Evil

    1. Gravity Falls.

     

     

     

  19. Star Wars Episode 7 The Force Awakens is the most disappointing thing since my son.

  20. Star Wars: The Farce Engorges is the 7th installment in the Star Wars Trilogy.

     

    It was Directed, Co-produced, and Co-Written by Jew Jew Binks.

     

     

     

     

    (How can it be a trilogy if it has a 7th Installment?)

  21. Pokemon Rejuvenation Version 9. My Body is Reggie.

     

     

     

     

    But is my mind?

  22. Bacon Wars: The Farce Engorges is the worst main series Star Wars Movie (In name only).

     

    Terrible Writing, Poor Characters, and Unoriginal Plot Lines make Jar Jar, Trade Negotiations, Midichlorians, and Lines about Sand much more Tolerable.

      Also, Dare I say it? Hayden Christensen was a better actor than Daisy Ridley. Hayden actually portrayed an emotionally conflicted person quite well. With Daisy Ridley, however, it seemed like the Critics thought that Wide Eyes + Mouth Agape= Good Acting.

  23. Batman Begins is a better movie than the Dark Knight. 

    1. ShadeStrider

      ShadeStrider

      But both were extremely well made movies. I prefer Batman Begins because Batman's Origin story was one of the best parts of Nolan's Trilogy. I really like the "Student vs Teacher" type of fights in movies.

       

      I really enjoyed watching Heath Ledger's Joker. I think that it is a well done representation of who the Joker was supposed to be. I really wish that Suicide Squad's Joker had lived up to this Joker, but sadly, he was just there for fanservice. And as a bad incarnation.

    2. Animefan666

      Animefan666

      Don't forget that in The Dark Knight, the Joker wiped out organized crime BY HIMSELF! Whereas, Batman didn't do a damn thing.

  24. Fan4tastic is the Second worst Comic Book adaptation I have ever seen. Suicide Squad takes the top spot.

     

     

    Superman IV, Howard the Duck, Catwoman 2003, Batman and Robin, and Green Lantern aren't nearly as boring.

    1. Combat

      Combat

      I haven't seen either of them, mainly because I have too much respect for the source material. Most of the others at least get points for being stupidly bad, and not just bad bad.
