Nah you got your hate cause you made an asshole comment. A New Hope was made in 1977. Does that mean that I am not allowed to enjoy it because it was made before I was born? The Big Lebowski was by no means an unpopular movie with people, and is not an obscure movie. Don't act pretentious and expect love for it.

it wasnt an asshole comment. in any form of any way

You think that is not rude? You say hes being a rip off, and then question whether or not he was old enough to "know the movie", implying that being born after a movie came out means you can't possibly know about it, and therefore, that OP isn't allowed to know about it, enjoy it, or reference it. Grow up. If you are as old as you claim, you are far too old to act like the child you are being here.

OH DEAR GOD it was a joke between me and the OP and we were cool with it.. its just all of you other people who got your panties in a twist... he even made a comment telling me happy bday in response

For all the kids who read this and don't understand, Blockbuster was a video rental store. In the Dark Ages before Netflix and Hulu, people went to special stores to rent movies, then they had to drive back and return them when they were done or face a late fee.

Movies also used to be stored on these: http://i.imgur.com/2kxzcby.jpg?noredirect

Sorry it was always called VHS in here. I just realized it's VCR. Although it could rewind regardless. I have it 1 meter from me in a box.

I remember that... and I'm not that old.

My parents have a pile of those tapes somewhere ... and I think we have a VHS in the house (probably hidden in the basement).

TyrekGoldenspearJan 15, 20171 votes

Same.

We still have a VHS to watch classic films on tape.

BladeSingularityJan 15, 20171 votes

I think we're finally getting everything converted to DVDs and the like. Not entirely sure.

oSEXYPLATYPUSoJan 15, 20172 votes

hey did ya know netflix offered blockbuster a chance to merge with them a long time ago... blockbuster laughed and said no.... that streaming tv/movies wouldnt be a thing...

BladeSingularityJan 15, 20171 votes

I didn't know that ... interesting.

I do remember the Blockbuster "going out of business" sale. $1-5 movies.

That's how I have most of my old DVDs.

LEEROY KLEDKINSJan 16, 20171 votes

You mean, Sega Master System.

It was a big hit here compared to the NES which got messed up on its European release on multiple reasons.

Had Atari 2600 and pong system to from my old man.

I still play Master System for Wonderboy: The Dragon's Trap and NES for all the popular hard games I've nearly beaten battletoads, Ninja Gaiden trillogy, castlevania trillogy, zelda 2, most of the others are mediocore in difficulty to me XD.

I know this is memes and games but this is an issue with most competitive games. I mean in the past of non-online playing games it could be understandable to say "its just a game" especially games where there was no real reward for winning other than bragging rights. Anyone here ever played fuzion frenzy on the original xbox with family and friends? Or like super smash brothers games like these it's ok to say "its just a game" when you lose.

I think whats truly sad is that so many disconnected people really believe its a cardinal sin to be passionate about video games.

They can't relate because those are usually the people that don't have a passion of their own, but they think if they did, it certainly wouldn't be a video game.

It's not even a thing about video games How the fuck are you supposed to have fun at games and sports in general if you don't compete to win? I mean, that is the freaking basics of having games and sports at first, the pleasure to compete to win is the essence of games and sports, then not everyone can win, but as long as you do your best and you have a positive attitude and you try to learn to improve and get better so the next time you can try to win it make sports and games one of thebest form of entertainment and pleasure around

Then it is fine to be bad at games/sports, to play in a suboptimal way because you are noob or enjoy play a certain character or a role you are not good at, to make unwillingly make silly mistakes because you tried but you couldn't avoid failure

It is just not fucking fine afk'ing 7 minutes into a game and not even have the fucking decency to click base to avoid giving another kill. It is not fucking fine intentionally trolling or intentionally not playing to win. It is not fucking fine to not fucking listen to your mistakes and cause with your selfishness and you terrible attitude to make other lose games because you are a freaking a*shole and so you do not play anymore to win but you play to estabilish an alleged predominance or alpha male state over other people

It is not a fucking matter of videogames, it is a matter of respect the basic concepts of games/sports and civil life, yes, even on the internet where you are hiding behind a screen with anonymity

Absolutely agree.

I don't mind losing, it's a natural part of any game/sport/contest. I'll never rage at anyone in my team even if they are getting beat when I can see they are trying their damnest to win and jsut getting outplayed.

But this stupid it's just a game attitude has no place in any competitive event of any sort, excluding charity matches.
