The Star Wars Prequels aren't half bad.

Next thing you´re gonna tell us Jar Jar was just annoying

Ah, but you see, I left that statement open ended. I merely suggested it's not 'half bad'....


Rather, it's completely bad.




And we shall all kneel before Darth Binks!

I for one welcome our Sith Overlords, no matter their race...

Playing Battlefield 1 and some ways I like it and some ways I kinda don't. To be fair the game does allow you to switch teams if one side become to dominating but that feels wrong for some reason, then again if the other team don't give a damn then I guess it's okay to commit treason . Another Gripe I have with it is not being able to see the enemy clearly, there's been times I'll be looking at a corner of a building or tree and there will be nothing there only to be kill by someone who was right where I was looking at. The game also feels like Battlefront sometimes---then again it IT made by the same company so.....

Yeah I guess in real life you could defect to the other side in a war. Might get you shot by either side in the middle of a battle though, lol

Battlefield 1 is good in some ways but one of my main issues is that there are many automatic and semi automatic weapons being fielded that were never considered for use by militaries. The vast majority of the fighting was done with bolt action rifles but in BF1 3/4 of players use machineguns.

I believe that the actor who portrayed Uriel Septim VII during Daggerfall's intro did every bit as good a job as did Patrick Stewart in Oblivion. (The fellow standing beside him play Chancellor Ocato, on the other other hand, is sort of stiff. Then again it's not much of a part.) I'd have been perfectly happy had they used him again and spend the money saves on Stewart's fee to hire additional voice actors to add a bit of welcome variety to the game and/or create additional dialog lines for the populous at large.

Khajiit has never really understood what hiring those big name folks for voice acting brought to the game. Seems like they could've found lesser known folks that would have done just as well and for cheaper. Sean Bean, for instance, sounded very flat in this one's opinion.

To be honest I always quit in Battlefront. I always play Empire and whenever they force
me to become Rebel terrorists I just leave the queue. Not a popular opinion but I can't stand playing as the Rebels.

The Empire has style man!

If I recall correctly, it was disk space, rather than budget, which limited Oblivion's voice assets. I remember that there's an interview out there somewhere in which a Bethesda designer talks about having to remove all but one arenas from the game to reduce dialogue lines and save file space. One of the limitations of having the game on consoles, I imagine.

That said, having lesser known voice actors fill those roles would inject more variation into the industry at large. Anyone who has played all of the Mass Effect and Dragon Age games will have heard the same 4 or 5 VAs pop up a whole bunch of times with various characters.

Big name actors aren't all bad though. Kate Beckinsale does a fantastic job as Queen Ayrenn in ESO.



I remember in Battlefront 2 (what a game!) I always played as either the Clone Troopers or The Empire. Those Kaminoans sure know how to design a nice set of armour.

Oh, my goodness, quoted for truth!

Ya know, I wouldn't have minded shelling out a few bucks (or more than a few bucks) for a DLC that added thousands of lines of quality dialog choices to Cyrodiil's residents. (Millions would be even better.) Certainly of more interest that *cough* horse armor (nothing wrong with horse armor, but it shoulda been included in the vanilla game) or numerous fancy player homes (which can be equaled via mods for those into that sort of thing}.

And yes, I realize huge voice packs are likely verboden on console. But why force PC users to adhere to limitations that don't apply to their systems? (Yeah, it's a losing argument in today's climate. Still, I still be it. Hmm... maybe this is another unpopular/minority opinion of mine???????)

I don't mind playing as either Empire or Rebels, the only time I don't like playing as the Empire is when I'm on the Endor level (The Aftermath Endor Map isn't to bad as the Empire) is playing as a regular Stormtrooper while the Rebels are a bit more properly camouflaged. White armor's is not the best camo for forest levels Empire, although Shadow Troopers are pretty good on Endor. I like playing on the Bespin map, every match I've played on has always been fun and balanced, Death Star Map----a bit of a let down.

Earth's history and human's history as we know them are false.

Oops, I'm sorry, I mistook this thread for the "Totally Popular Opinions" thread...

No you posted this in the right place

LOLOLOLOLOL

M&M's are gross.

I don't think they are gross but I don't see their appeal either..

I love peanut M&M's. Regular M&M's? Not so much.

When one is British, one eats Smarties, not M&M's. Especially the blue ones.

Made since 1882, apparently. They were called "chocolate beans" until someone objected to there not being any actual beans among the ingredients.

Smarties are good, and I much prefer Skittles and Sweet Tarts,

Peanut butter m&ms and pretzel m&ms are Khajiit's favorite m&ms.

-Coffee is disgusting.
-The movie Avatar is trash (the James Cameron one, not the Airbender one which I haven't seen).
-Hashtags are annoying, especially when multiple ones are slapped into a social media post for no good reason.
-The original Half-Life is better than Half-Life 2 (although they are both great).

Just to name a few.

The live action The Last Airbender film was also trash.

I have a couple more that are sure to draw some ire. I'm not deliberately trying to, obviously, but I want to get them off my chest.

First, the outcry over Creation Club is seriously overblown. At least at this point. There is definitely potential for this to be a terrible idea, but everyone needs to cool their jets for the moment.

Second, Kingdom Hearts is massively overrated. The combat was fairly fun for the most part, but the story and lore is so incredibly stupid.

I feel it's justified, given that its files are shoved onto your HDD whethere you bought them or not. That's a complete disregard to people that have limited HDD space, or bandwith restrictions from their ISP.


Yes.

Played the original Half-Life and---I don't really like playing it on the PC/laptop, the controls are just to slippery and demands a controller. Blasphemy I know but HL2 uses a controller and works out great.

Okay, that's a fair point. I do remember seeing that now, but I believe Pete Hines said they will be addressing that in a patch (of course, it actually has to happen first). That is a totally justifiable complaint.

I just mean the whole "paid mods" aspect itself, which I see complained about it almost every single time as opposed to the drive space. If it gets inundated with Horse Armor 2.0 and other absurdities that shouldn't have to be paid for, I would change my tune. But it gives good modders the opportunity to get a nice chunk of change for what they do. I often see people want these modders to get paid for their work, but now that it is coming a lot of people seem to not want that to happen.

And Nexus is still going to be around, which a lot of people seem to worry will be gouged. Bethesda has shown in the past that it's capable of dumb decisions, but they would have to be incredibly stupid to actually do something to Nexus in favor of Creation Club. That would be a PR debacle that I don't think they could really pull themselves out of. Thus, I don't see anything happening to the tons of free mods out there already.

Can I wake up one day and turn on my tv or computer without some stupid political horse poop going on .

That's not an unpopular opinion. Khajiit hates political horse poop!

I thought going on Twitter and filtering out the political poop would be good. Nope I had to get into a political debate which THANKFULLY ended better then it does on Facebook. But still---it gets old.

This is one of the reasons I avoid social media like the plague.

But seriously, is there someway we can get all the world's politicians to go take a holiday or something?

My brother, who's visiting, just inadvertently reminded me of one of my unpopular opinions, or rather minority viewpoints. We were talking about the upcoming time change. He mentioned liking it because it allows him to get in an extra hour's sleep mornings, an oft expressed viewpoint.

I have never understood this.

All my adult like I have woken by internal rather than external clock, and my internal clock wakes me too bloody early. This morning, for instance, my internal clock allowed me to sleep off and on until 0319. At that point I knew further sleep was impossible, so read for an hour or so before crawling out of bed and shuffling to the computer room.

My internet clock pays no attention to external clocks. Therefore, had we already gone off Daylight Savings Time I've have woke for good at 0219, leaving me with even more dead time in which to twiddle my thumbs before 0500 breakfast. What's more, I'd need to fight off sleep an hour sooner during evenings, not that it helps much to do so.

Therefore, I much prefer the spring/summer switch to Daylight Saving Times. I sleep pretty much exactly the same hours I always do, but they align a bit more closely, if not close enough, to external clocks.

I'd be happy if the entire world used UTC and abandoned local time zones completely. I don't have a 9 to 5 job, but the labels on the start and end times could be anything as long as the hours stay the same length. The current system hasn't phased out the sundial properly.

No, you only get an extra hour of sleep on one day, and that's the morning the time rolls back in the fall (for Khajiit this actually means an extra hour of game time before going to bed at 2am, lol). Otherwise, every other day you are going to bed at the same time you usually do and waking up the same time you usually do. There is no "extra time". Daylight savings time is pointless. All it does is make it dark earlier at 5pm. Winter already makes our days get darker earlier being tilted away from the sun, so why'd they have to go and make it worse? Daylight savings indeed. Pfft.

I, too, find Daylight Savings to be incredibly dumb and pointless. And that one day where you get an extra hour of sleep is negated by the day where you lose an hour anyways! There is no need to have it anymore. Arizona and I think one other state doesn't have it. Would be nice if other states followed suit.

Let me throw out another related thought. Instead of changing the clocks, do you think it would be better to work longer hours during the summer, and fewer hours in the winter? In northern latitudes that could be quite a difference, (e.g. UK gets about a 10 hour swing, Arctic circle 24 hours) but the continental USA doesn't have so much of a day-length variation.

I would prefer working shorter hours in the summer, and shorter hours in the winter...

If I could work four tens, I would in a heartbeat.

Khajiit would prefer not to work at all

I'm trying to remember where I read about it, but the Romans used sundials to divide up the day, so hours were a bit longer in summer than they were in winter. It wasn't until they started conquering lands significantly further north that they did things differently. And they must have had another means to measure time, as they reported pretty accurate day lengths from Scotland.

I'll have to spend some time Googling.

That is YOUR unpopular opinion, sir!


Anywhoo. I gotta say something that PC builders in the US might not like... I think Fractal Design cases, especially new Define series cases, are way better (both in terms of looks and function) than NZXT, CoolerMaster and Phanteks cases, with Phanteks being a close 2nd but only due to atrocious pricing.

Because when a person* goes 160km, into another country, to get this thing because no one - literally NO ONE - sells it back home where they are, and then carries it three miles straight to the train station in august heat, that might tell you something about how good the case is.


*might or might not be me

Computer cases are another of those highly subjective personal areas. When I built my current primary PC several months back I went Phanteks, not so much before it was an ultimate favorite, but because it best fit my essential criteria while remaining within my allotted case budget at time of purchase. I was tempted to do the build in my old Cooler Master HAF 932 and move the parts in what is now my secondary PC to the Phantecs, but the Cooler Master is a bit out too out of date for that. Still, to this day I miss those casters on its bottom, which makes dragging it out of its cubbyhole for maintenance SO much easier for an old fart like me.

As to minority PC-case opinions, two come readily to mind:
1) For me, the bigger the better, up to a point. No Mini, Micro, or small Mid-Towel for me. It's large mid-tower or Full Tower all the way!
2) Any case I consider purchasing must have a front-panel optical drive bay, with hopefully another additional bay or two of that size. This alone caused me to rule out a number of cases I otherwise liked very very much when I built my new PC.

Khajiit is very satisfied with his Cooler Master HAF 912. Roomy, easy to work with.

And long breaks in between

Breton would need a new room for HAF. Or he'd have to tear down one wall on his old room, to accommodate it.

It is rather large. It takes up a bunch of room under Khajiit's desk but it's not so bad.
