Generally... I just hate whatever becomes popular. It disgusts me when a mass populous becomes obsessed with the same thing. It shows me how vanilla humanity is. I live for being different.

Things I hate that everyone else likes. Shit I could go on for hours.
Things at the top of my list:

Zombies!
Iphones / smart phones
Family guy
Stand up comedians
The popularization of memes and /b/ garbage
Lady Gaga
Pop culture
Television
Hollywood Movies
The word "Epic"
Call of Duty/Halo
Angry Birds
Social networking
Shit that females like (shoes, makeup, gossipy crap)
Ugh -__-

I like you. I especially agree with zombies, /b/ garbage, and the word "epic". (unless used properly, which no one on the internet ever does.)

I wouldn't say I dislike the stuff because they're popular though, I dislike them because they became popular and everyone with good business sense exploited the fuck out of them. Zombies would be totally cool with me if they weren't in absolutely everything, for example.

Memes and stuff are different though, as they weren't really "exploited", but rather, repeated out of context to an absurd degree by people who don't even understand why they were funny in the first place, ruining them completely. You have no idea how disappointed I was when I came back to this site from a long absence only to see this emoticon: :umad:, because it stopped being funny ages ago. Hell, in the original troll face comic it wasn't even used in the current "LOL LOOK AT THAT TROLL HE IS SO FUNNY" context, but rather "Look at this dumbass, he thinks he's so hilarious but he's actually just pathetic."

Pfff. I agree concerning :umad:

When I was a teenager (and a DAMN stupid asshole one at that) I was a crazy /b/tard and spent a lot of energy flaming people hardcore on various websites and forums. I was really damn good at it too, I'm not proud to announce that. I even got people to threaten suicide because of my verbal assaults. Again - not proud.

Then I grew up.

Then EVERYONE and their damn mothers started ghetto "trolling" while using this face :umad: , announcing that they were TROLLING, making sure to remind you they are a TROLL, and repeating phrases like U BUTTHURT, U MAD, FAIL, etc.
It started with LOLcats/chocolate rain, then I found my kid brother "rickrolling" people. I wanted to punch his head in.

Shit, look at YOUTUBE. Its filled with nothing but thousands of "trolls" (I say that in vain with quotations).

YouTube has the worst internet community. (GameFAQs is a close second) I swear all the stupidest and most obnoxious people in the world do nothing all day but comment on YouTube videos.

I wouldn't be surprised if you were right. I see that ALL. THE. FUCKING. TIME. Come on! Save those kinds of comments for the Justin Beiber and Rebecca Black videos! Don't ruin Whose Line or Metroid videos with your commenting crap!

I swear, the shit the Internet pulls...

That's great, I'm all for doing your own thing, but what if what's popular is popular for a good reason? I follow my own interests. If they happen to coincide with what everyone else likes, so be it. As long as I don't fall into the trap of liking something because it's popular. >_<X

For instance, I'm not a big fan of "pop" music in general, but there are a few songs I happen to like. Then again, music genres are a bit vague for me. :-?

Again, I fucking hate Mario/Zelda, so we're on the same team Zadra.

I really love Wikia, FOX and Nintendo. Really... -_-

Me too. thats not to say I wont play the games, but I'm sick of those two games stealing the damn show concerning 1st party nintendo. Why does Zelda get all this cool shit for the 25th anniversary (including a damn orchestra performance), and Metroid fans get... what? Oh right... Metroid fusion released to 3ds ambassadors only later in the year? Great, now I can play it an 8th time on a different console! Fuck that.

I've never been interested in things like Facebook, Myspace, ect even though most people are on it.

I normally enjoy memes when used right. Unfortunately, that is extremely hard to find these days. As for :umad: ... I really don't know what went wrong with humanity to think that being called a troll is positive in any manner. :umad: can be funny or at least fitting in various situations, but it seems like it's everywhere nowadays.

Don't get me started on YouTube. There are always some nice people there, but, in an overall... :/

It's obvious, isn't it? Mario and Zelda sell more, and are better investments than Metroid. It's not going to change before people start buying Metroid games, unfortunately. And hey, we're getting 3 Metroid games on the 3DS this year. Still more than nothing.

Yeah, but they are the same thing. I think what she is saying is that we don't get a new game, we just get the same damn thing on a different console. Maybe if is was say, Metroid Fusion 2, or something, then it'd be worth while. sure Mario and Zelda are great games, but it's tiring seeing them sellout more than a million per game, and Metroid just selling out probably just under 100k. (estimates.)

To be honest, I've always hated Nintendo. I never liked them. I've only bought Nintendo's shit since it was the popular thing. Until I played Metroid Prime Nintendo was just some excuse for a game company. In fact Metroid is the only thing Nintendo ever did thought was good. Well, Metroid is amazing, but you know what I mean.

Xbox 360 is a piss poor console. So many things the console lacked and how horribly designed the system is. I've owned 4 or 5 and Microsoft has messed up every time. So I sold mine. The only thing I found good was how I made a couple friends online.

Coffee is just nasty.

Well, Zelda only has one new game this year, and Mario has none. Don't forget we got a new game exactly a year ago, which isn't very long. I'm sure there'll be another entry in the series until about 2013.

It's also safe to say that every main entry in Mario and Zelda will certainly sell more than five million copies. And Other M sold about 850,000 copies. Much more than "100k."

Regardless of all that, my post above doesn't lose it's validity. It's (mostly) not Nintendo's fault that Mario and Zelda sell and Metroid doesn't.

It's funny to note that you've lost the count of how many Xbox 360s you had. Considering the Wii's and the PS3's much lower failure rate, the real "loser" of this generation becomes obvious. I'd only own a 360 if I won it as a prize or something.

Also, if you bought the same damn console five times, you probably have better ways of spending your money.



Oh, and Zadra. I want to ask you something. What would you think of Metroid if the next game sold 10 or 20 million copies?
