Characters in comedies need to be as dumb as it gets to appeal to the lowest common denominator. At least that is the logic they use when they make these shows. It's not just about husbands, it's every type of person. Like geeks being depicted as socially awkward to the point of dysfunctionality. And also every man being depicted as if their sole life purpose is to get the girl. Even shows that start out well sooner or later reach the point of the lowest common denominator, when it stops being grounded in reality. That's usually when I stop watching them. For example the Office US version was good while only Michael was this goofy character, and the rest were at least plausible people. But after a few seasons they slowly degraded everyone to imbeciles, that's when I stopped watching that show. And it's not even limited to comedy, some dramas suffer the same fate. They get so dumb after a point that it becomes painful to watch.

Seems that most high school allows it, rather then having them to go outside, just that we all get right on the PC as fast as we can before it's all taken. We all do not eat. Yeah, it's blocked, Only time that I was able to have more control when I and another classmate had permissions to set up an own network, we had three to four old PCs laying the class and we built them up to able to play simple games, we had so much gear to play around with, old network servers too. In that room there was a large server room that controls all six classes on the floor and teachers rooms, we tab into the teacher's network and linked too our build server and BANG! we had no blocks, able to enter websites that are not blocked. Able to do far more things.

Yes, Back in my high school years at lunch time (get 40mins) We did gaming on the school PCs. Can be anything that we able to run off from our USB sticks. No VPN was needed 🙂 Then when at collage we did gaming in class and while in class 😛 we get in class at 9am and leave at 5pm and we able to get the time to do gaming with people. 🙂 One time, I spent 5 hours gaming on my gaming Laptop that I had taken to collage 🙂

Also, I forgot to mention, that I remember bringing some PS2 games to play in school. It was during a in school celebration, where we didn't have any school. We just hung out, played games, watched movies, etc. I stuck around in one room gaming on a PS2. I destroyed everyone in WWE Smackdown Here Comes The Pain! 😄 Was a fun time!

I have done this a handful of times. I remember doing it once when I was caught by a teacher. It's trying to hide the device underneath the desk, while ensuring the tutor doesn't notice you.

I was playing on my phone lot of times back when the class didn't seem to be interesting at all, luckily i didn't get caught as i was choosing a strategical spot to sit in :p

All of that is fair enough, I see lots of people that dislike the new Lara and prefer the old one for those reasons and that’s fine... Then you kept going on... You are WAY outa line, again! I never said or implied anything close to that so stop trying to put words in my mouth. One game I enjoyed very much this gen was Tales of Berseria. The main character is dark and has a tragic back story that lets you sympathize with her, even when her actions and attitude are very questionable which they frequently are. Also, she looks like this: I think I said on another thread recently that my top game on PS4 was Horizon Zero Dawn and part of that was because of how witty, smart, empathetic and fun the main protagonist Aloy was. All this in spite of the fact that she is VERY ugly, you would have to be blind drunk and high on magic mushrooms to want to sleep with... Ugh… this (sarcasm): So @m76, if you think I'm someone who thinks that "sexuality is a bad thing that should be eradicated" you better back the fuck off right now! I got no issue with sexy characters, what I don't like is shallow characters regardless of how they look. What I actully said was: The reason I said is that, like it or not, it's the truth. Ask any straight teenage boy to describe the "perfect woman", what you think they are going to say? Rich as hell - check Big Boobs - check Athletic - check Tight clothes - check Action-packed lifestyle with guns and speedboats - check Sound like anybody we know? Like I said before I do respect the old Tomb Raider games, even though I don’t enjoy them very much. Lara was one of the first lone playable female protagonists to get mainstream success paving the way for others to follow and they deserve credit for that. That doesn't change the fact one of the main reasons if not THE main reason they got that success was the sexualized design of the character and her marketing. They obviously weren't confident that a game with a female on the cover would sell on the merits of its gameplay alone. So they pandered to everything that I said above and you what, at the time they were absolutely right. That was over 20 years ago, female characters don't need this shallow anymore and as I said before they can still be sexy. Hell, even the new Lara ain't exactly hideous, it’s just that one was a product of the time and the other is a product of evolution.

Arthur was intentionally written to be both cold and a roughneck. Had he been picking daisies and singing Kumbayah, he would have completely ruined the game. To make the game, the main protagonist had to be a cold, unfeeling, hard ass. He’s a killer, and a big league thief. He was written perfectly for the part in my opinion. Micah on the other hand, was a truly worthless piece of shit. I wanted to knock him out every time I was near the asshole.

I could honestly pick out any one of these main cast members from FFXIII and unleash one hell of a rant; But there is one that stands out, even amongst this motly crew of douche. I. HATE. THIS. GUY. Snow is an irresponsible, selfish, self-righteous, egotistical, arrogant, ignorant prat that the game tries to pass off as a selfless hero! (Warning, Some minor spoilers ahead) Right the start of the game, he gets a load of innocent civilians killed, then the next time you see him he is hi-fiving his buddies and declaring himself a hero as he rides off to rescue his already doomed girlfriend like he's Captain America. A quick point before I move on. A hero is confident, inspirational and charismatic, but also selfless, thoughtful and humble, usually even anonymous. Even if they have earned the right to call themselves a hero, they don't. Snow is none of those things. Back to the point though, our "hero" getting those innocent people killed. Any remorse? Regret? A lump in his throat? No, of course not, he was only thinking of Sarah (The GF), the only lump he had was down the front of his trousers. While travelling through Palumpolum with Hope (Whose mother was one of the aforementioned civilians who died because of Snow), he's completely oblivious to the fact Hope hates his guts because he's to focused on "being the Hero". When Hope does eventually confront him, only then does he actually show some remorse. Eh, no Snow, you don't get to feel bad about what you did only when poor little you has to face the consequences, that's not how it works. He's pretty much the same, carefree, annoying douchebag the entire game. All the main characters in FFXIII are there their own brand of terrible, but Snow is the worst. And when you're the worst protagonist in FFXIII, that is a very strong case for the worst video game protagonist of all time. Even being played by Troy Baker couldn't salvage this waste of pixels. Thank about that.

Wow you went to town on these characters. I agree with a few of them, mainly Michael and Trevor. Even though they had some good moments, they weren't redeemable people. As for Arthur Morgan, I gotta disagree on that. I may not have liked RDR2 as much as the first game, I still really like Arthur Morgan. I still prefer John Marston over him though. Conner from Assassin's Creed III was someone I wasn't a fan of. He had his reasons, but I felt he was just blah as a character. I much preferred the elder Assassin that lived in his house or whatever. I forgot his name.

Everyone in XCOM:Chimera Squad: These are psychopaths, who revel in violence, and plop disgusting jokes between kills, while acting like Karens in between missions. Niko Bellic - GTAIV: A petty criminal who acts like a petty criminal even after getting loaded, what is there to like? Michael, Trevor: GTAV: How could I like a selfish criminal and a violent sociopath? Franklin at least has some redeeming values, but not particularly likeable either. What's his name? - RDR2: A plank of wood is more lively and interesting than this protagonist. Max Payne - Max Payne 3: Let's be clear I love the original Max, I just hate the version written by Rockstar games. He is a miserable self loathing worthless burlap sack waste of space. Seems like a caricature. Geralt - The Witcher Series: A giant jerk, who constantly acts like an ahole, and is especially disrespectful towards women, I quit playing all three games because of my revulsion of him.
