i blame big bang theory.. and the whole geek sheek thing.. these people are not artists.. they're not even intelligent... they're media people, and trend followers... to coin a phrase, they're soul-less minions of orthodoxy :P

stuff goes mainstream, majority of population are dumb, so stuff needs dumbing down... they make things for the lowest common denominator.

which is ironic, because the whole point the shows were good was because they didn't do that...

aaaaaaaaand they've turned off comments and likes/dislikes :lol:

what. a. surprise.

shall we wait for the 95% on rotten tomatoes, or do you think it's already there.... drumroll.....

awwh nothing yet. im surprised they are waiting until it's out to post the fake reviews. they are clearly smarter than i thought... just by a bit. like a smidge.

oh and btw, they literally do post fake reviews, we had a marketing guy for one of the apps we made, and that was 100% his job.
it's literally the standard. that's what gamergate was all about, the complete fake bs that games journalism is. after games journalism decided to fire some SJW pot shots at the games industry. like LITERALLY, when i did games reviewing as a module, one of the tasks we were given was to write a negative review about our favourite game, and a positive review about our least favourite game. that is what they teach.

and if you're interested by the way, our tutor used to write for Edge. so yeah.. maybe steer clear of that.

you really need to look at who funds the magazines, because i can tell you from that which games will have good reviews, and which bad. that's what gamergate was all about, we all knew it. honestly it was like the harvey weinstein thing; everyone knows it's going on, but it's just how it is.

see the massive trigger for it, ironically. was that Zoe Quinn slept with one of the reviewers to get her positive reviews, and the reason it pissed people off, was because men cant sleep with their reviewers to get good reviews. so calling the industry sexist was like... massively hypocritical. and she got her terrible game greenlit on steam because of it :lol:

like ya cant complain about sexism, and at the same time, take advantage of sexism... it's just not cricket.

okay maybe it's not a weird dutch name then... tbh this isn't a great film.. im not even sure i actually watched it properly all the way though.. but it has a great aesthetic, and some pretty sick scenes:



just dont expect a good story... i honestly cant remember the plot :lol:
but some of the scenes will really stick with you ;)
great visuals. film itself was kinda disappointing tbh.

There are actually people who are excited for this crap too. But basically it comes off like a media company or youtuber who buys views or pays to make it look like they have more traffic to get investors... legal fraud essentially...

yeah they literally think that people cant tell the difference, and you will just like what you're told to like... that's how these people see the "unwashed masses" kinda thing...

tbh tho, i think it's them that cant tell the difference.. they are there because they paid for a qualification, which doesn't really qualify them for anything, because the universities are just there to get paid now. it's all corrupted for profit. it's a scam. "we pretend to work, and they pretend to watch us". what's that off.. but that's how it works.. it only gets found out like 20-30 years down the line when everything starts to fall apart.

there's often a lot of people that get pissed off at me, cos i actually get the work done, and i make them look bad. it's not my fault if they aren't doing their jobs, and they've established some kinda idle normality... i blame the EU and the larger scale bureaucracy thing; it's far too easy to pass the book, and the last thing anyone wants is to rock the boat.

we're gonna smash it after brexit tho, we'll have an AGILE government ^.^

CBS is already at work silencing critical voices. YouTube randomness ftw.
