The first season of Pokemon was good when we were all kids
Rewatching it now can be best described by "it's terrible, but it was good before so it's okay"

also i can only recommend Pokemon Abridged by OneKidsEntertainment, very funny show. why don't we have a thread for things that need more popularity?
Cause they aren't popular.

It's definitely a popular thing, and I have no clue why people go with it instead of using their brain. (Oh, people are going to hate me so much for this)CTs-Th wrote:

I'm an atheist too, but there's no need to bash people unless they did something to bash you :/ I'm really against religion, but you can't hate billions of people. That's the difference between a le fedora atheist and someone who doesn't believe in the idea of religion.

How is it difficult to believe that religion caught on? For thousands of years humanity was unable to explain things so they turned to religion. I'm sure if you were all born 600 years ago you'd all be religious fanatics.

I think I can hand you a clue.
If people used their brain on this subject they'd arrive at no conclusion whatsoever. Metaphysics is practically unknowable and thus you can't logically declare whether or not there is something out there. The only logical thing to do is to dismiss it. In other words, do nothing—agnosticism. They're the only ones who can say they're being truly logical. If anyone wants to say yes or no to a metaphysical question it ends up becoming an opinion, regardless of their reason. Even if it's just to sleep soundly at night or to feel superior to someone else, it's common as fuck.
Personally, I find that a large group of people default to "no" just because they're succumbing to counter-culture syndrome so they can view themselves on top of those who dare to say "yes." At least, that explains why I'm getting the "disagree with me and you're a moron" vibe from you, especially with that little message you have in parenthesis over there.
There are still an unfathomable number of things we can't explain yet, though. I still can't explain my purpose in this world, and any answer I'd come up with for that, regardless of what it is, is just a belief on my part. Otherwise I'd be damned if I had some factual evidence on the matter.LaVolpe024 wrote:

For example, take the events of Christ, something that happened so long ago it's dubious enough as it is. A theist would take what his Holy Book says as true because it'd fit his belief; an atheist would say Christ must've been a clever ruseman because it'd fit his belief; and an agnostic would shrug his shoulders and go about his business of shrugging at things all day. Nothing factual backing any of those claims up, except "common sense" which is pretty arbitrary anyway.
I think it's just hard to keep shrugging your shoulders all day. At some point you're going to develop an opinion for what you want to believe in one way or another.

I'm not so naive I'd expect people to think better of me just because I've apologized but there's not much else I can do until someone invents a time machine so I can stop myself from posting that stupid crap.

Bump from certain dead because I had to post this.
The Big Bang Theory.
Usually I understand why shows become 'big' or 'popular' despite of how I feel towards it, but with the big bang theory I have no clue why. At most I chuckle at the show, never have I once laughed. Every scene in the show feels a bit 'le funny' rather than actually being funny.

Personally, most of those shows aren't all that bad. A good number of them have their moments, but that's not the point. It's just a pain in the ass when dealing with most of the fanbase. Most of the time. Even then, that problem presents itself everywhere, not just with 'mainstream' shows, music, videos, games, whatever.

While I disagree with him, there are way too many useless Minecraft videos out there. How do people enjoy them I am not sure. Sounds like something you would do if you were already YouTube popular and wanted to pander to your fanbase.ColdTooth wrote:

But then I remember some of the video's I've been linked before.
Like that Bionicles vs Pokemon movie.

So there's that one particular german Let's Player (also the most well known when it comes to the german LP scene) who had uploaded over1200 Minecraft LPs and each and every one of them sacks in an average of 500k views.
He started doing that Minecraft LP beginning from the 19th October 2010 until 25th January 2014 (i think he's having a hiatus)
I'm so glad i never watched any of his videos, i sometimes peek in the search query to see how far he went BUT MAN HE ALREADY PASSED ONE THOUSAND VIDEOS AND FOOTAGE OF THE SAME FUCKING GAME.
PLEASE, AND THE PEOPLE WHO WATCHED IT.
Can somebody please do a rough calculation how much each and every person that had subscribed to him, wasted on time watching all of his Minecraft Let's Plays?! The videos are around 25~40 minutes long, so maybe finding a middle point to have a even number at the end of the equation would make it easier, it also be very much appreciated if someone would do that.
But i'm very sure it's too much for one to actually spend on watching something THAT YOU COULD PLAY YOURSELF.
every trend since 2010
I imagine that the viewers aren't actually sitting there watching the video.
Maybe they just have it playing in the background, maybe even while they're playing MC themselves.
Then they can concentrate really hard and pretend they have a friend who is playing video games with them.

I saw that before @NEDM, I was like: "segment 954? ...Is it supposed to be a joke on horribly overrun LPs?"
It wasn't.
What's even more jarring is that even minecraft Retsupuraes are boring because of the sheer lack of content. It's on par with watching someone play cookie clicker.

The thing is that with sharing what you do in MC to other people, you should only be showing people the finished product of what you've made because that's the only important part.
A MC LP is literally a video of someone painting a wall. Or a video of sausage rolls cooking in an oven.

If they started making the content they wanted to make, they'd lose the kid audience, but at least maybe they'd be a decent youtube channel.
being a decent youtube channel in your eyes oftewn doesn't pay the bills.
seriously i don't think anyone would want tomake 1200 videos of the same game. it's why he is on hiatus now; the last time something significant happened was probably 1000 videos ago
