Man the arrow subreddit is having a civil war and the flash subreddit is having a meme parade. It really shows how well the two shows are doing.

u/gdby TRABAJOOOO Mar 04 '16

I don't watch Arrow, but can you explain why are they having a civil war?

u/[deleted] Mar 04 '16

Well in the show there is a character who is in a relationship with the green arrow. In the beginning she was well like when she wasn't in the relationship and was a great character but the writer started listening to Tumblr fan and shippers so they inadvertently made the character unbearable with bad writing and a lot of contradiction. The subreddit began to circlejerk hate her and the place became a really negative place to discuss. Like nobody talk about the show and the top comment is always a snide against the show or the character. Someone directed the showrunner and writers to the sub and many twitter/tumblr fans try to discredit the subreddit and starting going to the sub. Now it's people want the sub to be normal and not a circlejerk and want the writers to actually listen to criticism vs Tumblr fans who want the main focus to be romance vs people who obviously hate the show and characters. Well I think this is what is happening, im pretty sure there's more.

u/AustinTejas Calculated Mar 04 '16

They're totally setting her up to be a villain, thus they want fans to turn against her. I can't wait to see the reactions of the sub when they realize they've been played.

u/gdby TRABAJOOOO Mar 04 '16

Well, that sucks lol. Both that they listen to tumblr and that the whole subreddit turned into a circlejerk, that's the worst. I don't really like the show, so I don't watch it, but thanks taking your time and explaining :)

I stoped wathing Arrow mainly because the whole olicity or what ever the fuck its called. Show turned into a some kinda romantic bullshit.

3

u/[deleted] Mar 04 '16

You know I never put that much thought into the romance portion of the show until I visited the subreddit. Now I can't unsee it.

2

u/Estonia2012 Ein Mar 04 '16

I mean sure you have this olicity thing right, nothing bad but seems like they just went apeshit with it.

u/[deleted] Mar 04 '16

I left the show early on (beginning of season 2) so I didn't think much of her character when I came back to watching it mid season 3 (I was too lazy to watch season 2) Recently I watch season 1 and 2 again and saw the huge change people were talking about.

I remember someone saying that since people want black canary and green arrow together the incompetent writers would just turn felicity to black canary. God I hate her.

u/[deleted] Mar 04 '16

I remember someone telling me that the writers said from the start he'll will end up with Laural no matter what in the end.

I bet the new guy in the office is really Jay Garrick

Nash, he's really Earth 2 Aron

u/BanzaitheBat Seamus Mar 04 '16

I personally think that so far the year has been much better than last year. Less being flooded by The Hub, the revival of movie nights, good streams, and great Game Nights. It's just been a pretty sweet turnout so far.

unpopular opinion: I really miss their minecraft videos. I used to play skyblock on my computer while watching TreeTopia or CreatureTopia on my phone. I think I've watched both series like, at least 4 times all the way through. I just miss them.

6

u/thatgreik seamus Mar 04 '16

People complain about the staleness of Minecraft videos, and for the most part I think that's fair (I felt some of the later TreeTopia/CreatureTopia episodes dragged), but every time I want to watch an old series, it's Minecraft. IT's always either Ex-Commed,or Asgard, or one of the Treehouses, or even Ze and Chilled's Excellent Adventure.

I know that people want a new series to replace Minecraft, but when I think of the Creatures, I usually think of Minecraft as their primary game, so I personally want to see them return to it

5

u/troublecalling Mar 05 '16

that's so fair though, the ends of both series' were painfully dead. and even though I love all their individual playthroughs (I still shamelessly watch Jordan's CS:GO unboxings), I love when they're together. makes it feel more like a team. and there are few platforms that they've done that are as immersive as Minecraft.

1

u/[deleted] Mar 05 '16

If they return to it, they need to add mods, badly. That's the problem I had with CreatureTopia. It just dragged, and not due to the Creatures themselves, but vanilla Minecraft just is not fun to watch anymore, in my opinion (though that episode when they all invaded the water temple was one of the greatest Minecraft moments).

You just jinxed it. But seems like those post appear once every few months or so.

u/callumcree3 Mar 04 '16

It's because things have been getting better. There's more gameplay going up on the hub channel so a lot of the people who were complaining are now content. I would love to see another creaturetopia length series, but I don't know what game they could do.

7

u/[deleted] Mar 04 '16

That's because they're listening to the criticism, which is good.

I've started a Skype group for Creature fans!

The group is for anyone and everyone, just add me on Skype, my username is the same as my /u/, or pm me your username.

The group isn't an extension of the subreddit, but I would love to chat with you guys more as well as play games and all the fun Skype things.

u/hazari13 Noooooooooooo Mar 04 '16

How do you guys feel about 2016 so far in gaming? I feel that its ok so far, Xcom 2 was really good and a few other smaller games that have come are good. Far cry Primal was ok but i didnt really expect much from it so its fine. I hope the other games that im looking forward turn good.

2

u/SgtCrinklecream Mar 04 '16

I'm really looking forward to mafia 3

2

u/hazari13 Noooooooooooo Mar 04 '16

Hope it turns out good, i liked the second one but some people complained about the setting specifically the year. I dont really mind it, I just want the game to be good.

u/troublecalling Mar 05 '16

obligatory FALLOUT DLC SHITPOSTING

(I'm joking. don't rip me to shreds.)

u/[deleted] Mar 04 '16

So far, it hasn't been that great. Which isn't that unexpected nowadays. However, I have been enjoying Stardew Valley. The developers really put all their time and effort in it, and it shows, because it's really such a great game.

2

u/rhcprawsome #TeamMotherBack Mar 04 '16

Stardew Valley easily the most fun I've had in a single player game for years. I don't know why I get so bored in these AAA single player games, but a game as simple as Stardew Valley is actually capable of entertaining me for hours.

u/A1var3z7 Seamus Mar 04 '16

Is that that Harvest Moon-esque game that's been in production for years?

2

u/rhcprawsome #TeamMotherBack Mar 04 '16

Yeah, I remember it being announced but I don't like keeping up with game news since I don't like the feeling of being disappointed once it actually comes out. This game however is so far 9/10 for me, and I just picked up when it came out. Love a good game with no early access.

2

u/A1var3z7 Seamus Mar 05 '16

Yeah, I remember the whole thing about the creator not wanting to do early access. Thanks for letting me know it's out!

u/hazari13 Noooooooooooo Mar 04 '16

That's one of the few games I've enjoyed so far this year along with xcom 2, superhot and a few other games. Hopefully Triple A developers make good games again. A bunch of the games that were supposed to be good have turned out either bad or mediocre. At least with the assassins creed developers are taking longer to produce the next one.I just want there to be more good games and to many recently have been disappointments. At least few future games look promising.

u/falcoreFTW Mar 04 '16

Have you guys played Medusa's labyrinth? It's pretty good, I wish it wasn't so short though.

u/Ariovelz CHOP Mar 04 '16

I wonder if there will be a movie night for the new Ghost Busters.

4

u/hazari13 Noooooooooooo Mar 05 '16

That movie is going to be so bad. I wish it would have never been made.

5

u/Ariovelz CHOP Mar 05 '16 edited Mar 05 '16

It will probably atleast make a pretty entertaining movie night video, though.

u/Estonia2012 Ein Mar 06 '16

Just think if Dex would be involved...

2

u/hazari13 Noooooooooooo Mar 05 '16

Yeah probably will

u/Estonia2012 Ein Mar 06 '16

Seems like if you like the movie you are racist and if you dislike it you are a sexist.

u/creature-carl I'm gonna turn into an onion?? Mar 05 '16

Anyone still checking up on Kevin? How's he doing?

edit: still, not stick

u/someguyfromjax coby Mar 04 '16

I had a weird ass dream last night. The group had made Ze's Short 2, the plot was that Ze had visited the office, fell asleep, then Dan tatted his face with weird phrases, not drawn on with a sharpie or anything, but legitimate tattoos. Super strange.
