Oh, I found a video about this.
Pretty long, though.

I was a little afraid of where that Sargon video would end up, but by the midpoint he gets into the meat of the matter and makes a few good points.

If the revelation of internet politicization has shown me anything it's that extremes and absolutes can be terrible things, so take everything with a grain of salt.

Speaking of extremes, Mad Max as a whole is a movie about extremes, the series always has been that way. But fury road really is an amazing piece of cinema just on the stunt choreography and practical effects alone

What were the supposed good points?

I bought Splatoon and my room-mate bought the amiibos.

We all need to get online this weekend and try to get into each others' matches

I'm up for it.

Also I just realized something about splatoon. Those 2 Squid girls are named Callie and Marie..... Callie... Marie... CALAMARI!

LAWL

Gang up on Mazer!

...Damn it. Everyone's hopping on Splatoon, and that's only making me want to play even more...

I still feel no desire to play it.

Dude... Calimari... Think about it.

What about it?

Ever had calimari? That shit is GOOD!

I have not, actually. I really want to, though. I love seafood.
Anyhow, I don't see how that should affect my desire to play that game. ?_?

Did you not see my post earlier? they put calamari in the game. And that makes the game delicious.... also it's colorful and the controls are top notch, and it's an interesting take on the turf war genre. This aint no counter strike.

I saw that, did nothing for me. And I'm not a fan of counter strike to begin with. Anyhow, just from what I've seen, doesn't interest me.

this Saturday we need to play. Yis Plesae

At least rent it, Luna D:

Well, the Wiiu is at my house right now, so if I had it, I could join.

YES! but it won't be easy :\

Whoever thought the bubble shield was a good idea in Splatoon needs to die in the most terrible way physically possible. I was having a lot of fun until everyone started using that complete piece of shit.

I just said it's not counter strike.

Anyhoo, you're right, the only way to convince you is if you played it yourself. Which I don't blame you, they didn't execute the demo all that well. You might want to rent it then.

I meant that I've never played Counter Strike, so I can't even begin to compare it against that. And yeah, like always, I'd have to play it.

Mostly the commentary that amongst what would probably be considered "the far left" there's a "this isn't good enough!" way of looking at things, when he starts looking into interviews that the woman who wrote the vagina monologs did to defend her work in the years since it's debut.

The first part of the video is basically very nasty logic based ad hominem., which is sort of that guy's main feature. Sometimes he has some sharp insights, but many times it's just very mean spirited, in a similar way that Mayor back in the day would get if you can recall.
