You Ever Notice...and What's the Deal...

Yeah. Funny for a couple of years, but then got kind of stale afterwards.

There seems to essentially be three different kinds of Let's Plays:

1. The gamer's commentary contains small talk and wisecracks, which I find to be particularly engaging; double points if the wisecracks are actually funny.
2. The gamer's commentary is basically nothing more than a play-by-play of every single action happening on the screen; informative for tougher games, but a tad boring.
3. No commentary whatsoever.

"YOOOOO what's up, ladies and gentlemen?! WELCOME TO LET'S PLAY (insert game here) with ME, (insert username here)!"

Is it just me, or does it seem like a lot of women out there are still trying to look like Krapdashians for some reason?

I mean.... welcome to the 21st century in Amurica.

So I'm not allowed to point out that I'm a creative person, even though I am? What makes other people experts who don't know me experts at what I am? I'm obviously in a creative field, and I'm obviously a creative, artistic person - I can tell you that upfront, so who's to say I can't say that I'm a creative person?

And who actually boasts about being a disruptor anyway? Are there people in workplaces who actually do that?

 

[LittleJerry92]

If they're full of themselves, then yeah, probably.

Okay, here's something to take into consideration:

We've discussed the ratings system (and it's merits, or lack thereof) on MC plenty of times, but something recently just struck me odd about the ratings system. . . .

We have PG-13 and we have TV-14.

Similarly, we have NC-17, and we have 18+.

How did they come up with these? I mean, do they seriously believe that somehow one year age difference is significant enough to warrant these types of separate ratings? Are 13 and 14-year-olds so vastly different that something that may be okay to subject 14-year-olds to may be too much for a 13-year-old to handle? Likewise, what would be so horrible that apparently 18-year-olds can handle, but not 17-year-olds? Is it like driving? Is there such a difference in these ages that, in a sense, PG-13 or NC-17 is like your learner's permit, and TV-14 and 18+ are like getting your driver's license?

And what's the deal with M and MA? What happens with the M that they have to slap an A next to it?

 

[LittleJerry92]

I mean, have you SEEN how "mature" today's "adults" are?

(Though I will agree, I always found TV-14 odd but I guess it's because by the age of 14, the mind has already developed inappropriate thoughts even though I started watching Futurama and Family Guy at 12 and Beavis and Butthead at 13. Heck I even started watching South Park at 14).

NC-17 to me might as well be straight up porn.

What do the 60s fictional bubblegum pop groups The Archies and The Banana Splits have in common? The characters/members of both groups have decent-sounding singing voices, but ridiculously cartoony-sounding speaking voices.
