     Texas and Florida, both pig states, will sink into the ocean. 

    And all the Texans and Floridians will invade other states, cause you can't kill a Floridian with water, his alligators will prevent it. And Texans have plot armor.

  2. I don't think people are defined by labels. Labels only group people based on a certain trait or factor that they have. People are not just one trait or one factor. They are a complex organism that have been though out different environments, people are not a single label, nor multiple labeks, they are people, nothing can truly define them.

    Thanks for your feedback. We are playing a video ad through January 11. I'll see if we can get the ad to default to mute. I agree, that would be helpful.

    Please see this thread about disabling ad blocker on VGR to help us afford to pay our staff writers and offer forum giveaways.

    Mate, how could I be complaining about an ad if I had a ad blocker on?

    I don't even have the money to get a ad blocker.

  4. Well since 2022 is about to crash down on our heads. It is only reasonable to predict things that our out of our control, and then be disappointed when they turn out not to be true. Whether its predictions for games, movies, shows, politics, or world events. Go ahead and see if you can actually predict something.

  5. A few come to mind:

    Halo basically made the console FPS what it is today.

    Minecraft exploded Sandbox and Indie popularity. Also is the highest selling console game of all time.

    Metriod created the Metriodvania genre.

  6. Warning: Please do not go harass any person, website, or company apart of this story, all intentions are for education and entertainment.

     

    Note: This happened in Japan, as such I couldn’t find much English text on this story, as such there won't be much detail on this story.

     

    On May 3, 2000, user Neomugicha of 2channel posted an unknown message to 2channel. This would turn out to be a warning. Later in the day, user Neomugicha got onto a bus. He would soon pull out a knife, threatening the driver and stabbing three passengers with it, one of the passengers would later die due to the wounds.

     

    Once Neomugicha had control of the bus, he would keep the passengers on it for about three to four hours until he allowed one woman to go to the bathroom; she would soon alert the police.

    A unit of Special Assault officers would soon storm the bus, arresting the hijacker with little incident. 

     

    No one took Nemugicha’s threats seriously, however 2channel wouldn’t make the same mistake again, some unknown amount of time later, another user would threaten to blow up the Odakyu Electric railway, that person would soon be arrested before he could.

     

    So what lesson can we gain from this? Well, to be honest, there’s not much one can learn from this, other than taking threats seriously.

  7. This is my second part of the MCU phase 1 review, I will be doing all 6 films, and then rank all the films.

     

    SPOLIER WARNING

    The Incredible Hulk, is the most unknown of the MCU films, it has the lowest box office performance (so far). It is perhaps, the least popular MCU film.

    The Story: The Incredible Hulk is not a very interesting film, it has a very tame story. There is stakes, but they don't feel world-ending or personnel. This feels more rushed than Iron Man. But to be fair, it doesn't really hurt the film, rather it dulls it a little bit more. (2/5) 

     

    The Characters: The actors are good, but there isn't really anything special about them. There is no charm, wit, or emotion on them. The characters are the same way, Bruce Banner feels real enough, but the side characters are uninteresting, and feel stale. (2/5)

     

    The Villain: The Abomination is not a very good villain, Iron Monger at least was an actual character, while he feels like more of a plot point rather than a person. (1/5)

     

    The Soundtrack: I cant remember a single piece of music from this film. (1/5)

     

    The Importance: The film was mainly abandoned after it's release. The only big thing to come out of the film was Hulk, but Shang-Chi did bring back Abomination, and General Ross has returned in some movies, but overall, you could skip it. (3/5) 

     

    Final Thoughts: The Incredible Hulk is the weakest film of Phase 1, it doesn't really do anything, nothing here feels special. Everything here is dull and lifeless. That's probably the best way to describe this film: dull and lifeless.

     

    Final Score: (2/5)

    I  dont think Iron monger was a bad or weak villan. It did had a good motive and a good final fight. But on Iron Man 2 whiplash was terrible, that was a weak ass villan who was just a copy of the first movie.

    The final fight was okay in my opinion, I liked seeing Pepper Potts straight up kill him. But Iron Monger just didn't work for me. I just more interested in deeper villains, like Thanos or Vulture. Unless they go above and beyond in making the viewer fear them, like Darth Vader or Joker.
