I sometimes think that Disney deserves to FUCKING SLOWLY BLEED TO DEATH for not only screwing over scores of their animators via pushing for lower salaries and firing some in order to replace them with Korean or Chinese rookies because $$$, but also due to how little they care about the conditions of their workers who make their brand toys in countries like Mexico, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Mainland China, El Salvador, Indonesia and Vietnam. In addition, Disney CEO Bob Iger allowed Kathleen "gynocentrist idiot" Kennedy relegate the pre-IP sale Star Wars Expanded Universe be labelled as non canon, and THROW AWAY the original outlines FOR Episodes VII-IX. Instead, we have a sequel trilogy that has little actual world-building, and stars a bland-faced Mary Sue whose parent's are typical alcoholic gamblers who didn't teach her JACK SHIT IN THE FORCE before the events of Episode VII and an Episode VIII that went all over the place and turned Luke Skywalker's character into an utter joke. Thankfully, its starting to bite them back with TLJ both flopping in China and garnering a now-45% ROTTEN audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. SOLO, while better overall, flopped even worse in China and at best BARELY made back its budget overall. I hope the MS Marvel movie also bites them via not doing very well in scores of countries.

I have an Xbox One S, and I quite love the S to be honest.
It is a nice quiet machine with fucking awesome controllers and better triggers... Oh Forza Horizon.
Then the other day I saw some advertisement from GreedStop, that if I gave them my S with two shitty games and 199€ on top of it, I get an Xbox One X with some shitty game... And I've been thinking about that, the X also looks good.

PS: I guess the unpopular opinion here is that I prefer my XB1S over my PS4 Pro... weird taste I guess.

The NES Online game selection is terrible, NES games are boring and can't hold me over for more than five minutes.
Nintendo Online would have been worth the cost of admission if Snes and N64 games launched from the get go, and three games a month is a bad idea
The PS4 has a much better library of exclusives than Xbox One, esp. in the RPG department.
Windows is better than Mac OS, Macs are not dedicated gaming machines.
AGVN is better than Nostalgia Critic

Would anyone not want a Xbox One S over a standard Xbox One? It's smaller, looks better and I believe it's quieter as well. Plus it supports 4K blurays and HDR.

I enjoyed Metroid Other M and it isn't a bad game. The gameplay was really fun actually, and partially pretty hard. The setting in an abondoned space station wasn't new of course, but was still very well done.
I also don't think that Samus was particularly whiny. She was just a young woman, who was trying to find her place in space. Also the monologues gave nice insights into her thoughts.
That she waited for Adam Malkovich's permission to use her gear wasn't even out of character. She might have been a rogue bounty hunter, but still sometimes worked for the Federation e.g. in MP III and Metroid II. So she was still loyal to the Federation and might have seen Adam as some sort of father figure, which she respected.

All in all it wasn't the best Metroid game, but still a very very good game.

Only thing, that really bugs me is that
Ridleys clone grows from this stupid fur ball.

The X is awesome. I have one myself, highly recommended. Which brings me to my unpopular opinion: I feel like Microsoft has treated their XBOX One customers far better than Sony and Nintendo can dare to even dream of.

Oh yeah, I loved the gameplay of Other M. It was a nice mix of old and new. I skipped the story. I don't think they'll ever top the atmosphere of Fusion, and that sense of dread and doom and powerlessness.

I would rather have decent ports on Switch than no games at all.
Mac and other Apple products are overrated; there's nothing that they can do that similarly-capable devices can't
Snes games are way better than NES games, and have incontrovertibly aged much better
Metroid Prime 1 and 2 are better than Metroid Prime Corruption
Dairy Queen is better than McDonald's

    Blah. 3 of my NSO + Expansion Pass family group members are leaving. Found one replacement so far but still need to fill two empty slots. I have 9 days or i eat the extra cost myself. But with a full group $11 for a year is a good deal. imo
