    Look, ain't nobody can play that and win.

    What if the hearts don't hurt you? What if you automatically dodge them? What if you are the one shooting hearts? What if you are actually an extremely small target? What if there is a safe spot right in the center? What if the hearts are actually extra lives? What if you can dissipate the hearts? Think creatively!!! It's only a .gif of a pretty danmaku pattern. :D

  • I had a dream where I played Touhou. I controlled the character with the mouse and there was a slight delay with movement so I died a bunch.

    the vagina creature that was killed for no reason other than the fact that it was a vagina creature


    what
    "SO THERE'S THIS PART IN TRANSFORMERS: AGE OF EXTINCTION WHERE THE AUTOBOTS SUDDENLY ENCOUNTER A SUPER-LITERAL VAGINA DENTATA ALIEN THAT'S JUST HANGING OUT IN A CAGE. THERE'S NO REASON FOR THIS TO BE HAPPENING ON ANY LEVEL, IT'S JUST CLEARLY STUCK IN FOR SOME MOTIVATIONAL REASON. BUT PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT THE REVEAL OF THE ALIEN'S VAGINA DENTATA-NESS IS NOT SOME PLACID CINEMATIC MOMENT BUT INSTEAD HIGHLY EMPHASIZED. THIS IS CLEAR. THIS IS OVERT. SO THEN THE FAT AUTOBOT (ONE OF THE GOOD GUYS, BY THE WAY) IS SO REVOLTED BY THIS IMAGE THAT IT TELLS THIS WAY-TOO-CLEAR-VAGINA-SYMBOL THAT IT IS "TOO UGLY TO LIVE." THEN THE VAGINA GETS SOME SLIME ON HIM AND THE FAT AUTOBOT COLLAPSES TO THE GROUND AND THINKS HE'S "BURNING." BUT THEN THE FAT AUTOBOT JUST REALIZES IT'S JUST "SHIZZ." SO HE CALLS THE VAGINA-SYMBOL "BITCH" AND SHOOTS HER DEAD."

    character who carries around a certificate that has the age of consent law on it.


    what

    i will never watch this movie but just... what?

    and what does any of that have to do with giant robots anyway
    The main character's seventeen year old daughter has a twenty year old boyfriend who carries around the age of consent law with him to show that he is legally able to have sex with a seventeen year old.

    idk about anyone else but after reading this post i really really want to see this film. it sounds brilliant

    But the games aren't mouse compatible at all and the new engine (2005 onward) has solved the input delay issue. :p
  • "i know you think its wrong that i had sex with the giant vagina dentata alien. but heres where youre wrong" *unfurls large bundle of legal papers* "as you can see under the sexual rights act 1996 i am well within my rights to legally have sex with any alien beings metaphorically representing female genitalia. BITCH"

    There are Wal Marts in Canada?
  • there are wal-marts in britain, cunningly disguised as asdas
  • i have expensive toothpaste
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    An Asda isn't exactly a Wal-Mart, although it's owned by the same people.

    I'm not quite sure how they differ since I've never been in a Wal-Mart, but my friends who have been to America told me they're quite different.
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    Incidentally, one of those friends was Spiky Hair, who seemed bowled over by Wal-Mart.  Like, would not shut up about how great it was, and how inexpensive it was and how much choice there was.

    He brought back a lot of cheap food he got there.
  • We can do anything if we do it together.
    FWIW, the CEO of Asda said that "When we were acquired, it was like acquiring a clone."

    I admit that I've never stepped inside an Asda, though, so maybe I'm missing something too.
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    In my experience Asda is just a supermarket like any other.

    It's fairly cheap, but that's it.

    Not the soul-crushing hell I've been led to believe Wal-Mart to be.

    In addition to this, there's the simple fact that being talked about is what makes something important, and for better or for worse people have been continuously talking about Transformers for the past seven years.

    So if we just stop talking about it for long enough, it will stop being important? Like we were trying to do in the first place?

    That's what I've been trying to say all along!
  • im very down with this plan
  • It would be nice if you could just will the general populace into not caring, but it won't happen. And no, trying to get people who are intelligent to stop talking about it won't help either.
  • that's a rather defeatist attitude
  • For once, or maybe twice, I was in my prime.
    You are greatly underestimating my capacity to not care about something.
  • (*leaves all the lights on because turning them off won't stop global warming, doesn't vote because it doesn't matter statistically*)
  • I don't think saying that it's not possible to change a massive portion of the population's opinion on a movie series is defeatist; it's just realistic.

    Did the Transformers films really have any real influence?

    The Raimi Spider-Man films were the ones that started us down this path in the first place (although they were apparently a lot better than most of what followed). 

    Bayformers just showed Hollywood that films following that formula didn't have to be good to make money. That was what really opened the spigot, to be sure, but there were other films like it in production at the time that would've had the same influence. For the rest of your argument, I refer to what Sredni said earlier, since I agree with everything he said.
  • well then fuck the population sideways with a rusty exploding cactus robot
  • Okay, think about it this way:

    If you say everyone should stop talking about Transformers, the only people who will agree are people who agree they're terrible and harmful. So the only voices that will be heard are the ones that are positive.

  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    If there's one thing the people of this country really excel at, it's Not Giving a Shit About Things.

    Stop hyping up the Transformers movies, stop treating them like a big phenomenon that warrants recognition, and start reminding people that there are better movies they could be watching, and people will lose interest.
  • god i fucking HATE summer
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    And if it doesn't work, it will at least make the films and the people watching them easier to ignore, so it's win-win

    They are also the ones buying most of the tickets for these terrible movies and, ergo, are the ones that make them influential.

    but the things that would be influenced by Transformers aren't things I would care about either way.

    The MCU and The Dark Knight were already in production, and I'd argue those have had a good deal more influence on the current state of Hollywood than Bayformers has had.
  • Then why are you bothering to argue about it?

    You don't have any stake in this.

    I'm not talking about comparatives here. I'm saying Transformers is terrible and continues to have a noticeable impact on the medium, and it makes sense that people dealing with popular movies have every right to talk about that continuing negative impact.
  • Sup bitches, witches, Haters, and trolls.
    can we just stop talking about this in this thread though

    like, we're all talking in circles about this point

    Then why did you respond to what Tachyon and MetaFour said? I was not going to reply until I saw that other people were going to join in.

    because i wanted to articulate the idea that i no longer wanted to talk about this, as so to further emphasise how we should not be talking about this.
  • My dreams exceed my real life
    Also I can understand why they're seeing it when they're one of those people who ritually goes to see every movie that comes out so they can let their fans know whether they're worth it, but it seems like a bunch of people who don't do that are seeing the movie because they feel it's their duty to be robotically offended and annoyed by a robot punching movie that's longer than Lord of the Rings.
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    I care inasmuch as I find them distasteful and think we should stop giving the films money

    Ideally they would have the cultural status of a rather niche porn flick - those who enjoy them can watch them in private, public discussion of them is considered distasteful and likely to incur negative judgement, and nobody who isn't interested need even know that they exist.
