Now... are there any games or movies or whatever out there that you expected so much from? With all the hype and all the "THIS IS FUCKIN AWESOME! YOU GOTTA GET IT!!" that made you NEED it? Hmmm? I've got a few.
Fable 2 - I heard the first one was pretty damn awesome and a lot people rated this game highly. i was pretty damn peeved with the shitty *** ending... or lack of one. I mean, did it actually end? And was there even a new game plus? I wouldn't know due to getting a mission I COULD NEVER COMPLETE. That's right... after getting kicked off the Island by Terasa or whatever that bitch's name is and buying a kingdom.... I didn't know where to go from there. The Co-op system was just terrible. Having to actually SHARE a screen with the other player was a nightmare. Is it a crime to explore? (kicks the stupidass dog)
Boarderlands - Oh the hours of senseless violence and no ****ing plot. Repetitive missions and no real dialogue. Why is this game amazing? I don't know. I only play it for the achievements.
Prototype - Need I say anything for this?
Edge of Darkness - It dragged on and got me no where. I did laugh when the girl was shot and the other girl was hit by the car but other then that I just fell asleep.
-
I play a ps3, so I don't know nothing bout no fable 2...
but as for the others, eh. I didn't get a lot out of them either. Borderlands looked cool atleast.
World of mana....was so bad. It broke my heart.
*crosses fingers for bioshock 2*
-
I agree that designers should really try to deliver better on a lot of the features they promise. I personally thought Fable 2 was *** compared to part 1.
-
I was incredibly hyped for brawl as a SSBM tourneyfag and then it just slapped me across my face and took me anally, no spit.
-
Dante's Inferno - This feels so familiar... Oh yeah... God of War. Seriously, the only two differences are the location and lots and lots of nudiness. Apparently Lucifer has a giant hairy penis. Who knew?
-
Thanks for the Edge of Darkness spoiler...¬_¬ I didn't really want to go see it but have agreed to with my granny.
I was really hyped for the movie 9, although reviews of it were average. Visually, it was stunning, but not particularly memorable.
-
omg. dantes inferno can go to hell *pun...INTENDED*
I played the demo and knew it was trash. Its really kinda dull, they don't really bring anything new to the table innovation wise.
heavy rains demo was way better.
I hope red dead redemption is cool too
-
Borderlands is designed to be played with three other people, it's not that fun if it's not in co-op.

Absolutely shows story line and graphics don't make a game.
-
I liked how interactive it was. how fluid the controls were. and how it really gave you a sense that you were making the decisions.
I can't say much for the rest of the game though, having never played it.
I feel like its not perfect, but a good stepping stone for other games y'know?
-

LOL That made my day XD
Sorry Avnas... I have a 3 week grace period. After that, all is fair game.
I actually play Boarderlands Co-op but you can't deny the fact that it is repetitive.
FF3 for the DS was also weaksauce. The battles were too hard and there were too few phoenix downs.
-
FF3 for the DS was also weaksauce. The battles were too hard and there were too few phoenix downs.
It also kept the NES mana version thing whatever, which was awful. This really turned me down... it also had the FF1&2 battle system, where it was turned based, instead of FFIV+ where it works by speed... turned me down as well, though it could've been tolerable if it wasn't for that mana thing...
-

You liar.
-
You liar.
Double that. I had no problem with the game, get... Wait, FF3 as FF3 or FF6? 'Cuz in FF3 all you had to do was to equip a viking with double shield and taunt every hard enemies. Even works on the last boss. Leaves the rest of the party to attend to complete awesome carnage.
Tales of Symphonia : The knight of ratatosk:
First game was ace and the sequel took a large log of oak and threw it in it's face, picked up the pieces and tried to make something nice out of it. Of course - homemade mirrors never work.
Star Fox command:
The whole "omg we has advance wars like tactics mode before you enter battles" turned me down, I wanted the whole "keep going straight ahead and shoot the living crap out of your enemies" instead of "fly into enemies on the world map and then try to hunt them down in a limited time"
Heroes of Mana:
Double disappointment - I was going to buy Children of Mana but picked the wrong one.
And then the controls are awful. Really awful, when trying to move a group of people they all split up becasue the person in front of them is in the way. I try to make them charge the enemy and half of my troop goes back, bump into each others for like 2 minutes and then goes around the whole place, through a bunch of other enemies and die.
If I want to move ALL the units I marked - why won't they move like a group instead of walking into each other and thinking "hey, this path is blocked!"
Xenogears:
Second disc killed any good thoughts about this game.
-
97% of all post 2005 games disappoint me.
-
Fallout 3? No?
After collecting cans and wrappers, and eating mouldy faeces for 20 hours, I decided to pack it in.
-
Yeah, recently only Tales of Symphonia 2 is been the only one with a sour taste.
Oh wait NOOO.
Final fantasy 13. Was hoping it was all awesome, then just thought it was gonna be good, played it, it's ****. This is why I should NEVER, EVER, get my hopes up again for a final fantasy game.
-
Hooooooooooow could I forget?
FFXII! Expected awesome stuff FFIX style and got soulless FFXI single player with no flexibility.
-
Spore was the game that said "try before you buy".
Spore was the game that said "doesn't piracy look good?"
Spore was the game I said "from now on I'm not paying more than $US50/$US60 for PC/console games".
Of course, various companies like Activision and THQ don't agree with that, but that's a tale for another thread.

QFT
I mean, I love the game to death, but I literally can't stand to play the main meat of the game for more than an hour.
So instead I create tons of stuff.

I for one loved xenogears.
even the semi lame ending was still okay for me.

I got bored after talking to Steve.
I was already as productive as you can get in that game (like 3 purple spice mines), and nothing really screamed for attention.
So I popped in Oblivion and installed a couple of new mods.
-
I loved oblivion. but I had a few big problems with it.
I felt so. alone.
in this huge beautifully crafted world full of npcs...I was extremely lonely. I really didn't feel like I had built any real bonds with npcs, and empire city...come on.You enter the human mecca to see like 15 npcs walking around. and what, no kids? so these people don't procreate?
not to mention the huge amount of npcs meant a lot of the same voice actors being bounced around

And there is no real Bosses. I mean, I would've like to kill giant monsters, big dragons, etc. The largest creature you can slay are the ogres and minotaurs. Orcs are way too skinny... well actually, everyone has nearly the same shape, beside the head and tails. Not enough armours variations. Sure, there were a few, but it wasn't that long for you to obtain the best armours (not counting magical effetcs). And Elven looked way better than Glass. Guards have magic eyes, too. Those assassin quests were you had to kill guards were retarded; no matter how I killed the guys, whenever I talked to a guard after he found I was guilty. I hate magic items with charges (weapons) and I've never seen any advantages picking two-hander rather than one-hander and shield.
But beside that, the game wasn't that bad.
-
Mods make it ~∞ better.
-
Had it for the 360. My computer would blow up just by putting the disc in the tray.
-
What's your graphics card?
My piecer 6200 can handle it on "low" just fine, after installing a couple of performance mods.
-
my GeForce 9500 GT handles it pretty well.
But I didn't even think of the boss battle thing...that IS a let down.
-
I have a GeForce 5200 FX or something like that. Just so you have a good exemple, I run WoW with all but two things at the lowest and I manage to get a very low FPS (lower than 20).
I also run Counter Strike: Source on low and manage to lag when there are more than about 12 characters or so (though it also vary depending on the level played)
So I highly doubt my computer can run it without exploding.
-
I've never been able to run Oblivion "well". I mean, I have a GeForce 9800 GT that runs pretty much everything beautifully (TF2 exempt for some reason), and I still need to hold back when I set the graphics for Oblivion. Damn game has the worst optimization.
-
WoW is intensive, lots of stuff going on at once.
And Bethesda is lazy as all hell when it comes to programming.
The fact that there's literally a couple hundred scripts running at once would seem to me to be a bad choice.
Also, their method for deleting objects is to...not delete them, but just stop showing them.
-
I really didn't have a problem cranking up the settings in oblivion *shrug*
maybe the version? also I'm working on a quad core, 8gb ram would that effect it?
-
A bit, yes.
-
I loved Spore, and I would have played it a lot more if it didn't freeze up randomly on me even with everything on 'lowest' and reinstalling.
-
I've got 1gb as well... and an AWESOME 1.67ghz whatever PC thing.
Yeah, my PC sucks. But you know...
No job = No money
No money = Can't buy better computer parts
Can't buy computer parts = Me stuck with a computer that sucks
Me stuck with a computer that sucks = Me sad
Me sad = No motivation
No motivation = No job
And it all starts back. Life sure is hard.
-
Hmph, you folks are complaining about 1GB RAM? I have 512MB. I can't run many games because my computer overheats or they lock up for some reason.
-
Jesus Christus Avnas, I'm surprised your browser doesn't make your computer explode into a heap of blue smoke.
-
I'm struggling to get my mom's ancient computer to do much of anything. 128 MB RAM is a joke.
-
128? ouch.
the computer I replaced had 256 and I thought that was unbearable.
-
128 MB RAM
Oh god.
I think I'm going to be sick.
-
That's worse than my 5-year-old Emachines.
-
Hell, I think that's worse than my dad's like... 10 year old Dogbytes.
-
A stick of ram d-nevermind, these things are probably at a maximum.
-
128? ouch.

It's really hell.
But hey, my Compy has a much more bearable 3.75 GB of RAM. I'd like to have an even 4 GB one day, but what can you do?
-
2GB RAM, plan to get another 2GB.
Disappointments... hmmm... when Chuck Norris shaved. JK JK I'd have to say how Cartoon Network has gotten with its bunch of Canadian cartoons. They aren't funny or creative and are lazily made and are EXTREMELY whored out. "Hey, no more Johnny Bravo, we got something fresh! Total Trama Island. Now we have something else original! Total Drama Action! And now we got Total Drama YET ANOTHER SAME THING STARTING WITH 'Total Drama'!" Then there is 6teen and Stoked, and Johnny Test. Ugh...
-
I think Total Drama Island is pretty funny actually. Only seen a few episodes though.
And hey, at least they have Flapjack. Lord knows how much that cartoon's going to corrupt our new generation. Although we had Ren and Stimpy and turned out okay...
-
I actually like Flapjack too. Thus I didn't include it, but it does seem dangerous to the minds of kids. XD
-
Argh!
Animation just....frustrates me now.
I liked the grim adventures of billy and mandy, it's surprisingly funny.
-
Johnny Test is a plague that should be wiped from the airwaves.
Flapjack is okay, and Chowder is awesome.
Pretty much any new CN stuff is unfortunately crappy.
Whoever took the helm and said "You know what Cartoon Network needs? LIVE ACTION!" needs to be shot.
-
I haven't had cable TV for years. From what I've heard, I'm not missing much.
-
Yes, the only worthwhile cartoons on the Cartoon Network these days are Flapjack and Chowder. That explains why they make up half of the air schedule.
-
TDI wasn't that bad.

I picked up (read:obtained) Bioshock, because I was looking for something new to add to my PC game collection. I'm not really into FPSs, but after seeing how good Bioshock 2 looked in Classic Game Room's review, I figured I could give it a shot. Of course, I realised that I would be lost if I hadn't played Bioshock before jumping into Bioshock II.
After I start the game (and after I finally got the sound and the subtitles to work), I was ready to move forward in the lake/ocean/body of water and actually begin the game. That's all I know about the story. Period. I'm in some sort of underwater city built by an egomaniac fighting crazy zombie people who aren't zombies, all for something called ADAM or EVE, or I don't know. In fact, how would I know? Every time I pick up a tape, I can't listen to it because there are enemies behind me, and by the time they're dead, I've forgotten about it. In addition to that, if I found something even remotely plot-worthy, sure enough, within 2 seconds of it starting, an enemy shrieks and I have to fight it, missing the entire dialog without being able to start it again.
Fighting itself isn't too bad, it's just a bit tricky and annoying. You press a button to swap between plasmids and weapons, but then you use the same buttons to use them, so I have to press a button twice to swap and use the weapon! To stun the enemies, I press left trigger to swap to plasmids, press it again to use it, press right trigger to swap to my wrench (because my guns are out of ammo, big surprise), and right trigger to smack with it. All of that just to take away 1/5 of the enemy's health. Worst of all, I don't think I can reload weapons and EVE beforehand. If I can, I haven't found it yet, or it was mentioned and I missed it.
I may just be over-analyzing it, but I don't think I can ignore these problems much longer. Because lord knows I wanna be one of the cool kids.
-
You're playing it wrong.
-
Not again! I just finally figured out how to play Animal Crossing correctly.
-
Whoever took the helm and said "You know what Cartoon Network needs? LIVE ACTION!" needs to be shot.
Agreed. -_-

But DF, wasn't "Out of Jimmy's Head" such a huge hit???

You know what disappointed me?
Your mom.
Har har har har...
No seriously she did.
FFT:WotL was a bit disappointing to me. I've played FFTA and enjoyed it, a lot. Various classes, races, etc. Thought it was a very good game. When I bought FFT:WotL I knew there was only humans (which kinda disappointed me at first, but decided to still give it a try)... but then I found out many attacks need to be charged, which I didn't like, you need a certain class to use items, and even need to obtain AP in order to use more items, people dying is permanent if you can't raise them before the timer expire, Random Battle on the map rather than Clan moving around or Turf being attacked (which didn't happen a lot) party consisting of 5 characters rather than 6, AP's are acquired by using actions rather than a certain amount per fight, after enough AP is obtained, you choose a Tech in the list and learn it, rather than learning them by wearing certain items (which made it possible to learn more than one tech at the same time), after moving you can't undo, no point blank shot, can't shoot over other people, etc.
Though the story seems interesting, I'm not as much interested in this game than I thought I would be.
I was really disappointed.
-
FFT:WotL? I don't think I know that one. Can you give it to me in an un-abbreviated form?
-
Damn, ninja'd.
Yes, please.
I'm assuming "Final Fantasy Tactics: Wrath of the Lichking" which confused the **** out of me.
-
Wars of the Lion. Basically, simply a remake of the first FFT with few things added. No, not FFT:WotLK, silly Dwarf!
Although it does look very similar.
-
Wars of the Lion.
Oh. I loved that game. In fact, there are only a handful of things that have been introduced to the series that I've enjoyed more. It is officially my favorite Square game ever, and sits in my top ten list somewhere.
-
Well, not me. It's not that it's a bad game, but compared to FFTA, it's not as good. In my opinion, of course. The only thing I prefer in WotL is there there are no Laws. Oh, and the story seems interesting. Might actually start playing back some times, but... I still got disappointed by it. Guess I expected it to look more like FFTA than it does.
-
Games... ah... there have been many of those disappointments. I was rather disappointed by the GBA Sonic games, a lot of stuff felt missing.
-
Just the GBA games?
-
Well, pretty much anything after 3 to tell the truth. ESPECIALLY Sonic and the Black Knight. Sonic was even a sadistic bastage in that game.

I felt the opposite way. I'd played the original FFT on PlayStation, and loved everything about it. When FFTA was announced, I nearly shat myself. Then it was released. I played it, and liked it a ton, but it felt so shallow by comparison. Perhaps it was the simplified battle system. Perhaps it was the rotation-free, optimized flow of the maps (I loved level stacking, btw). Perhaps it was the lame story. It could have been a ton of things, really. It was good, and some of the changes were for the better, but overall, it was a very mild disappointment. FFTA2 was Somehow a bigger disappointment, but I couldn't explain why. Truth be told, I couldn't play it for very long. Something changed, and I just couldn't care for the game. One day, I'll try it again. I don't know what drove me away, but I'm hoping I can overcome it.
-
Yeah, I didn't like the story much either. Never really liked false worlds, dream worlds, etc. Link's Awakening is a great exception to this, though. But what I loved was the different races. The more races, the more I like. Well, there might be some exceptions to this, but none come to my mind right now... and the more different races are, the better it is. For example, Oblivion's Nord, Breton and Imperial were all human to me.
So yeah, races. Also preferred how you learned techniques from equipments, and the fact that you didn't need a class to learn how to use items. The camera rotation from FFT:WotL is pretty useful some times, though, and its story seems way better than FFTA's "It's a false world and I want to leave". I sure wish I too can overcome what turned me away from this game, because it does look like it's pretty good.
Oh and it may be related to how good/bad I am, but the missions from FFT:WotL are way more difficult than FFTA... and can you only hire level 1 Squire?
-
Cerebus, I hear you. DIFFERENT races, not humans with blue skin and that crap. When it is actual variety, I'm all for it. In fact, if I was to make a game like that, I'd give definite racial variety to it. I love variety, lack thereof is too mundane to me.
-
One eyed 40 arms, vectoloids all over!
-
AGHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Except that. Though I do have a guy who has 8 arms and 4 eyes + a pseudo one.
-
Spider-man!
-
Oh and it may be related to how good/bad I am, but the missions from FFT:WotL are way more difficult than FFTA... and can you only hire level 1 Squire?
At first, yes. As time goes on and you learn how to be new classes, more opportunities arise. I don't remember ever hiring people. Oh, and you most certainly can have non-human party members. I remember breeding a whole herd of red Chocobos to Meteor the hell out of the opposition. Great fun. Yeah, if I remember correctly, it was possible to recruit almost any monster in the game. Another disappointment from FFTA.
-
Speaking of non-human party members in tactical games, hopefully they will translate Majin Tensei 1 and 2 soon. It is made of awesomeness, too bad it is Japanese.
-
That's what pissed me off about FFXII, the lack of racial diversity in the party. You're in Ivalice, which had five playable races in FFTA, and the big damn console game only has one non-human in the entire party? It's just another way they made everything purposely dull.
-
Plus the nonhuman was basically a tall female with bunny ears and high heels.

No need to remind me, the sheer lameness of it is burned into my brain for all eternity...

Oblivian- Sweet! I'm out of the prison...what do I do now...?
Dragon Quest 8- Why do I have to level grind to beat the first dungeon?
Final Fantasy 12- So in the middle of the desert, there's a save point you can only use once before you fight the boss that you need ranged weapons for. Unfortunately, I used the save point, having only one party member with a ranged weapon. Now to beat it, I have to level grind, then walk BACK OUT OF THE ****ing DESERT and save my game.
-
I believe that is supposed to be an O in Oblivion.
:3
Rogue Galaxy.
I was expecting a lot from this game.
Great storyline, fun gameplay, and kickass graphics.
Well, I got two of those.
The story is about as cliche and lame as you can get.
And the ending is...unbearable.
The last dungeon is unnecessarily hard, and...should have ended quite a bit before.
Like 3 hours ago.
-
Oblivian- Sweet! I'm out of the prison...what do I do now...?
Seriously? You're disappointed because you don't realize that you're now free to do whatever the hell you want?
I had no idea people were still this primitive.
-
You can track any quest you have, and when you get out of jail, you only have one quest (which is the main quest) which is automatically tracked, so I don't get how you can't know what do do and/or where to go.
-

Yeah, really... freedom games were not too recent, they have been around... I'm used to it.
-
Dragon Quest 8- Why do I have to level grind to beat the first dungeon?
Because it's a Dragon Quest game.

Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter
Why Capcom... why?

I have one problem with Oblivion. It lacks something I feel a game need.
Slaughter.
You can go around for minutes without encountering anything while passing between cities, then all of a sudden you get a crab and then it dies. Fanfare it's over.
A game like Oblivion could use a lot more enemies I mean the place is rather huge and I don't want to feel like I'm playing FFXII again.

bioshock 2. I played it.
storyline....nyeeeeehhhhhhhh...okay.
game mechanics...effing awesome.

Well, being a Bethesda game, there's a mod out there to satisfy your various needs. However, this is not an issue with me. There seems to be the perfect amount of hostile creatures in the world for me. Also, early in the game, it's nice to not have to constantly fight your way through hordes of beasties just to get from A to B. It also helps when you consider that there can be some pretty tough foes that can slaughter you without much trouble. Most of the fights I get into last at least a minute. If you really feel that you should be constantly facing off with these things, then that's you and your blood-lust.
Of course, I wouldn't have minded seeing a few more non-hostile life forms prowling the forest. But I guess it's roughly as populated as any wooded area I've been to. I suppose that's why I don't mind only occasionally seeing a deer or two and little else. It helps that I get all my murdering needs from quests and dungeons.

Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter
Why Capcom... why?
Seconded. Everything the series had great about it; destroyed in one fell-swoop.
Saw Heavy Rain mentioned: Great game (For a rent of course.), besides the ocasional plot-holes, which are hard to avoid in a game that is 98% story, the game has a jaw-dropping presentation, suspenseful tale, and great characters. If you have a PS3, rent this game.
Demon's Souls was fun; it had it's flaws, and at too many times I thought the game was just TOO difficult. I played the game in an extraordinarily cheap fashion; and still way to often was the game just STRAIGHT-UP ****ing cruel. That being said, I was DAMN proud of myself after every boss fight, and at the end, I actually pat myself on the back.
Uncharted 2: You people are just going to argue with me because the games popular. I know you people.
Star Ocean 4: Great if you like a GIGANTIC-****ing-STEP-BACKWARDS from Star Ocean 3.
Not far in Final Fantasy XIII yet; but it seems pretty good. All the things you people didn't like about X is there amplified though, so I feel like preaching this one is a lost cause. I know you people.
-
I don't want to feel like I'm playing FFXII again.

Xenogears:
Second disc killed any good thoughts about this game.
Yeah but that first disc kicked major ***.
My memory is bad so lets see latest games that have dissapointed me lately.
Well I didn't even play the new Final Fantays and it dissapointed me by just being made.
I do remember Final Fantasy Tactics for the gameboy was utter crap.
The one for PS 1 was better.
But looking back alot of graphics for the Ps1 now dissapoint me like Tekken *shiver*

I remembered Starfox for N64 having amazing graphics. Played it again and it looked nothing like I remembered. It's funny the way our minds do that.
-
Yeah, that happened to me with FF7. I could barely stand to look at the characters' blocky bodies.
-
Never happens to me. I tend to be very good at ignoring graphical faults and at admiring what was possible with the tech at the time.
-
Same here. I certainly notice the difference, but it doesn't bother me to the point where I just can't play. And mostly it doesn't bother me at all. Graphics don't make the game (though there are some exception where graphics come highly into play).
I mean, I still enjoy Zelda 1 and everyone knows what the graphics look like.
-

That is why it is always best to remember things in a great way and never ever play or watch them again.
Because that memory of them is ruined once you go back.
-
As a kid I thought The Lion King was the best movie ever.
When I watch it now, I still think the same thing.
Some things just remain awesome when you grow up.
EX: Animaniacs... Or, hell, any cartoon Steven Speilberg did in the 90's. And Batman:TAS. I still love that cartoon.

A good example for me is Illusion of Gaia as a kid I loved that game I have not replayed it but watched a youtube video and the translation is terrible and everything is spelled wrong.
So I choose to keep it sealed as a nice memory.
Sometimes I regret watching the Nostalgia Critic because he reviews reminds me of what I liked as a kid that now I can't stand.

Xenogears:
Second disc killed any good thoughts about this game.
I seriously can't believe that! That game was epic and totally awesome. Now the sequel, I saw it, watched my bro play it for a while and that was enough of that excuse for a game that contained so many ****ing cut scenes it was retarded.

Hells yeah 100% agreement there. X-men was killer too.
I wonder if anyone here remembers the cartoon of Conan The Adventurer?
I found the DVDs on a site and dl them it was a pretty wicked show. I'd even say
very Dnd esc like conan comics are.

Yeah, that happened to me with FF7. I could barely stand to look at the characters' blocky bodies.
I've been playing 7 again this week and I'm actually fairly impressed with some of the graphical things they do. There are a lot of cutscenes where there's FMV-ish things going on but you can actually still move your character around. You don't see that in a lot of games.

Batman:TAS
Can never be topped. **** you if you disagree. You're wrong.

That new series is ****ing lame though.
I'm so glad for Arkham Asylum they got the oriignal voices from the oriignal series to do it.

Reboot still wins in my books.

The mark of a truly good game, movie, song is that no matter how old it gets, you can still go back and enjoy the crap out of it. There are a bunch of bands I loved as a kid that I can't stand now. There are plenty of games I played as a kid I just won't enjoy playing now. There are the movies too. But there are always those few that no matter how old they get, no matter how far behind the graphics are, they're just awesome.
for me?
Love love love FF6 and 7, Breath of Fire III, Chrono Trigger, pokemon... you know, the typical games.
I also used to be obsessed with Red Faction 2 for the PS2. 0_o
and you know what, Uncharted 2 is ****ing awesome. I don't care.

Agreed. The voices were the icing on the cake for me. Nothing made me as excited as hearing Mark Hamill as The Joker. Seriously.
And I can't bring myself to even attempt to watch any Batman cartoon past Batman Beyond. The advertisements always make them look like ****.
-
I watched Batman: The Brave and the Bold. It's more of a parody of the old Adam West Batman show, doesn't take itself too seriously. I see why it never caught on.
-
I think Brave and the Bold is hilarious.
-ly bad.
Also, Nandez, goddamn get a spellcheck please.
At times you're worse than Fish.
