I actually kinda liked Vice City due to the 80s atmosphere. Maybe I'll pick up the PS2 verison again.

Why did you pull the bacon soft taco from your menu? Do you not know that bacon makes everything better?

Sincerely,

P.S. - I've heard rumors that some of your fine eating establishments serve french fries. If this is true, I would be much obliged if you would bring said fries to the menus of your Chicagoland establishments.

THIS IS NOT A DIFFICULT CONCEPT

I tried all day to listen to the advice of my TATEd TV, but all it ever says is "Wide. Missile. Laser." and I don't really know what to make of it.

Because they themselves do not find it enjoyable?


I can't fathom why anybody liked the movie Titanic... but people did... and I'll never understand why.

I don't like seafood. However, I'm not under the delusion that everyone who eats seafood is just eating it because other people do, while secretly hating it. I accept the fact that some people actually enjoy the taste of tuna, lobster and oysters even though I do not. This is the kind of thing I came to terms with when I was a little kid -- other people have different experiences, perspectives, interests and tastes.

Because of the guy falling on the propeller and because Leonardo Dicaprio's character dies. Those two things happen late enough in the movie that they may have made some people forget about the two hours of tripe before that.

Some people probably also liked seeing Kate Winslet naked but she doesn't do it for me.
You're arguing for a universe with fewer waffles in it. I'm prepared to call that cowardice.

I remember in one English class I had in high school, we were supposed to watch the Titanic. She spared us the cheesy love story and showed us the good part: watching the boat sink.

And I've come to my senses and realized that some people like playing mainstream stuff. If they like it, and I don't, why should I bitch about it?

I'm sure some of us treat shmups almost as a religion (Glory be to Vic Viper. Ahhhhhhhhhh------righty-then!!!) :lol:

^Different people like different games. Different horses run better on different courses. It's an analogy.
