Thread In Which We Discuss Doctor Who, Giving Change, & God

[Cheebs]

WHICH IS BEST

spoiler (click to show/hide)

I love games but anyone who picks that is a loser

[close]

[Mupepe]

I picked Games, you loser.

[Himu]

Games. Nothing gives a better sense of excitement and thrill than gaming. On the entertainment scale of things, games win hands down.

Cunt art elitists am cry

[The Fake Shemp]

Film > games

[Cheebs]

what the fuck how can ANYONE say games are a greater entertaimnet medium than films?

[Himu]

what the fuck how can ANYONE say games are a greater entertaimnet medium than films?

Interaction.

[Phoenix Dark]

How can you say games are a superior medium to film?

[Mupepe]

what the fuck how can ANYONE say games are a greater entertaimnet medium than films?

Interactive.  After that, it's movies, followed by games, followed by books.

I'm only making books last (they would have been first 10 years ago), because the quality in books has sucked so bad recently (compared to the other entertainment mediums).

[Himu]

Right now, the quality of games kicks film, books, and musics ass in the pants.

[Phoenix Dark]

 

[BlueTsunami]

I chose Music...

I would have to order it Music > Games > Movies > TV

If we're talking pure entertainment that can be garnered from something, the interaction with games beats out Movies easily.

[Mupepe]

I don't think anyone is saying games is a superior medium, but if we're talking about shits and giggles fun, games wins hands down for me.  The interaction with friends, different things you can do just makes it for me.  Now if you asked which I took more seriously as an art form, appreciated more etc., I would say films.  But you cant yell "pwned!" in a headset at some hillbilly douche bag during Garden State, can you?

lol

[BlueTsunami]

Himuro is probably referring to Zelda: TP too lol

[Phoenix Dark]

I remember listening to someone at Gamestop explain to a bunch of people (who weren't listening) that the earlier Final Fantasy games were superior to films - even The Godfather

[Cheebs]

Poor Himuro

[Wobedraggled]

I have to go with music.

Followed by Film and gaming

[Himu]

How can you say games are a superior medium to film?

This is nothing about being superior. I get a high playing games more than do anything else on this list. Music is meh, I get bored with it after about a month usually. Books are great, but right now, the quality of literature ain't so hot. Movie are excellent, but currently at the point in time, I'd rather play a great game like Grim Fandango than watch a movie. Not only do I get a mixture of all of 3 of these other choices, I also get interactivity as an added bonus.

1. Games
2. Books
3. Movies
4. TV
5. Music

That's not to say that games are a better art form than the others, but who's to say what art form is better? I prefer games, though. The games I play give me more satisification than watching a movie, and it's rare that I watch a movie that inspires me. You guys judge games based on these old types of media (tv, film, music) rather than on it's own merits.

[Mupepe]

I remember listening to someone at Gamestop explain to a bunch of people (who weren't listening) that the earlier Final Fantasy games were superior to films - even The Godfather

See, I just can't agree with those fucktards.

Now if you asked which one could entertain me for longer and keep me more involved and which one I thought was generally more fun, I'd say the earlier Final Fantasy games.

But as in just better, quality, apples to apples, The Godfather is like Jesus on a plate!

[TVC15]

The poll needs a Doctor Who option.  Doctor Who is a medium unto itself.

[MrAngryFace]

Books.

[BlueTsunami]

Music is the loosest of the Mediums in that it allows you to paint your own scenario in your head but still has a general theme with the mood of the song...

Superior medium confirmed

[Mupepe]

Books.

Can books fill your stomach?

[Himu]

I don't think anyone is saying games is a superior medium, but if we're talking about shits and giggles fun, games wins hands down for me.  The interaction with friends, different things you can do just makes it for me.  Now if you asked which I took more seriously as an art form, appreciated more etc., I would say films.  But you cant yell "pwned!" in a headset at some hillbilly douche bag during Garden State, can you?

Exactly. I'm not saying bullshit like Final Fantasy is better than Godfather, because it isn't. But the interactivity level and fun makes it a more pleasant experience to me. But sure, if we're talking about as an art form, I'd prefer movies and books, but this poll isn't about that. It clearly says entertainment in the title.

[Himu]

Himuro is probably referring to Zelda: TP too lol

That's FoC who thinks Zelda is the gaming equivalent of Jesus. Not me.

I also find it funny how PD is acting all HOW CAN YOU PICK GAMES OVER FILM when he just recently got into movies.

[TVC15]

Can you reset the votes so I can vote for Doctor Who now?  And so the virgins can vote for something aside from games?  So they don't look like virgins?

[Himu]

PD voted for film and he's a virgin.

[Mupepe]

I'm not a virgin 

[Himu]

I see a contradiction in TVC's post. when did pd lose his virginity?

[TVC15]

Can you reset the votes so I can vote for Doctor Who now?  And so the virgins can vote for something aside from games?  So they don't look like virgins?

PD voted for film and he's a virgin.

Yeah, but he's also young and doesn't know what he likes yet.  Like you said, he just got into them.

If you're not a virgin, Mupepe, you are just EMBARASSING yourself by picking games.

Now reset the votes so I can vote for my Doctor.

[Phoenix Dark]

I see a contradiction in TVC's post. when did pd lose his virginity?

When I nutted on your mom's weave bitch

[TVC15]

Bestiality doesn't count.

[Himu]

This poll says for entertainment. I see nothing wrong with voting for games. If this was a poll about art form, you would most likely see no gaming votes.

[Phoenix Dark]

[Himu]

So does that mean you're still a virgin?

Get your own joke, Himu.  Maybe you'd be able to provide your own if you bothered with forms of entertainment that encouraged thought instead of compulsive interactivity.

NOW UNDO THE VOTES I WANT MY DOCTOR!

[Phoenix Dark]

Vampire girl was joking about giving me a handjob as long as I didn't cum on her face































  I'm a virgin yea

[Himu]

Yeah, but he's also young and doesn't know what he likes yet.  Like you said, he just got into them.

It's still funny that he acts like he's oh so experienced with movies when he hasn't even seen most of the list on the top 100 list he posted. If you're going to support a media format at least act like you have some back bone and have some experience in it.

[Phoenix Dark]

I've watched more movies than played games

Not all of them were classics, but I've seen a good amount of classic movies that were more entertaining than any game I've played

[Cheebs]

Reseted for White Man 

[TVC15]

Yeah, but he's also young and doesn't know what he likes yet.  Like you said, he just got into them.

He does the same thing with TV.  He just watched 24, proclaimed it the BEST TV EVER, and then he has the gall to criticize the things I watch?  Boy likes speaking out of turn on things he doesn't understand.

Thanks, Cheebs!

[Mupepe]

But TVC, I admitted movies were a superior medium and art form, but if we're comparing how much fun I have with a great movie versus a great game, the game is going to win because it's significantly longer, interactive etc.

But if I was going to say which one I appreciated more, it would be the movie.

Feel me, baby boo?

[Mupepe]

NO ONE SAID MEGA MAN X HAD A DEEP STORY AND THAT GAMES HAD BETTER STORIES!  WTF?!?!?!?!?!?

I VOTED FOR IT JUST TO SPITE YOU!

[Phoenix Dark]

I don't think I ever said it was the best show ever. I said it was the best show I'd ever seen

[Himu]

Yeah man, I said that if we're talking about pure art film and literature would win hands down. You don't always have to learn something to be entertained. Games are just so much more fun than watching a movie to me.

Nope, movies are better forms of entertainment, any way you cut it.

[Himu]

What does Megaman X have to do with this discussion at all?

[Phoenix Dark]

Depends on the movie and game. To me "entertainment" means more than "woohoo this is fun!" It can mean something that's intriguing, captivating, etc. For me something like Brazil would be more captivating than most games, while watching the old Star Wars would be more entertaining in terms of "OMG fun"

Exactly. Their are just plain FUN films then there are the captivating all time greats. To Kill A Mockingbird is more captivating than any RPG.

Raiders of the Lost Ark and Star Wars are more fun than any game, and I love games.

You prove you don't know anything about games aside from Nintenjew games. "OMG fun" is only one aspect of gaming aesthetics, so I'm sorry about that PD.

There are some games that are more than omg fun, PD. Ever play a horror game? There's an element of atmosphere that is something movies just can't do. It's about the thrill of the scare, the atmosphere. I'd rather play a horror game than watch a typical Hollywood horror film, unless it's psycho horror flicks like Jacob's Ladder. Ever play a point and click adventure game? Often times they have dialog and characters that rival that best of Disney. I'd rather play Grim Fandango than watch fucking Eragorn or whatever shit movie it is you take to see your little brother.

There's so much more to games than omg fun, and it's a shame you haven't even bothered to get a better look at gaming's variety. But then again, you did only have a gamecube last gen.

[Phoenix Dark]

Trust me, there are horror movies far more atmospheric than any game. And there are movies with far more complex, layered characters than any point-and-click-lol "game"

[Cheebs]

I have never encontered a horror game even halfway as scary as the scariest films

[BlueTsunami]

Games are losing their appeal to me. I need something new and exciting. The Wii isn't cutting it...need a revolution in visual 3D Technology

[Himu]

There are, I never disputed that. But on the flip side, you instead appreciating games for their own merits, you compare them to film, which really isn't fair. And even still, there are some games which are more fun than some films. The key word here is some.

I bet you think Chicken Little is a better experience than playing Monkey Island.

I have never encontered a horror game even halfway as scary as the scariest films

Films really aren't that scary to me. Omg something popped out of the window!! when you knew it happen anyways. With games, since I am in control of my avatar, it makes the experience more personal.

[Cheebs]

lol point and click.

Monkey Island is very funny for a game

But could one even attempt to compare its quality of humor to that of say a Monty Python? Of course not.

[Phoenix Dark]

Thank you. Videogames merely imitate superior mediums like books and films. They never surpass them in any important aspects. Sure the music might be better here and there, but meh

Uh, sure it's a fair comparison.  Horror games stole ALL their tricks from movies.

[Phoenix Dark]

Actually it makes the experience more linear and less scary since you know that all you have to do is beat the game to "win". There are some great horror movies that don't have happy, "I win" endings

[Cheebs]

Also why the hell do you keep comparing classic games to horrible movies thinking it accurate? Chicken Little and Monkey Island? Eragon and Grim Fandango?

Guess what Genji sucks compared to Seven Samurai LOL! That is basically the type of comparisons you are making.

[Himu]

You know, that's funny, because Silent Hill 2 didn't either.
