Speaking of shows that sucked but I thought were great, I recently checked out Transformers: Beast Wars again. Holy crap did it suck. Though to be fair, I forgot about them shouting a catchphrase EVERY time they transform.

LOL I tried to watch it with my kids, they couldn't get into it at all... but mostly I thought that was because the animation was so dated compared to what they're used to. |

Gaming on the PC sucks. Hard. "Modding" is PC gamer code for "wading through oceans of sewage to find one or two grains of utility." "Modding" is PC gamer code for "wading through oceans of sewage to find one or two grains of utility." Ain't that the truth. LOL no, not really. There are active, searchable, friendly communities uploading free mods that add hundreds of hours of replay to games, many of which are so good they make you never want to play the stock game again. If you're finding yourself wading through "oceans of sewage" then you're not looking in the right place or really looking at all. |

I've learned to look in the right places, but despite that I may find around 20 good mods that I actually want out of the 1000 or so that I went looking through. Sure there are always mods out there that are fantastic and such, and finding them may not even be that hard, but the majority of mods for games are crap buddy. |

Also I know this is pretty late Wild, but when you go on Youtube, compare how many "Destroy PS4 launch day consoles we just bought because we like Xbox" you see as to how many "Destroy Xbox Ones because we like Playstation" you see.

Also just went to my BX(It's a military store where I can get stuff tax free) to buy PS4 games, but they were all sold out. I then look for another PS4 controller and they were also all sold out. I then went ahead and walked off to the movie section which was on the opposite side of the Xbox games, and when I turned around they had plenty of Xbox One games. I then walked off and noticed two Xbox Ones sitting in the middle of the walkway(Whatever it's called). I was pissed, maybe I should have gotten an Xbox One just so that I could actually buy some physical copies of games that I want...

Sure there are always mods out there that are fantastic and such, and finding them may not even be that hard, but the majority of mods for games are crap buddy. You're welcome to your opinion. I have about 200 mods for Skyrim alone, none of which I'd ever want to play without again. One of them changes the game from a harsh rocky landscape to a lush tropical paradise. In Star Wars Battlefront II there are countless fantastic user-created maps as well as the ability to mod in all the stock maps that weren't brought back from the original game. I have mods for Far Cry 3 that increase enemy spawns and allow me to replay my favorite challenges in the game (base takeovers) when normally they'd be permanently locked after completion. In Mount and Blade: Warband there are mods that change the entire look and narrative of the game to mimic Lord of the Rings or Game of Thrones. I could go on and on. You yourself have repeatedly championed the LOTR mod for that Total Warfare game. There are countless mods out there that profoundly increase the replayability of some of my favorite games, I'd be silly to dismiss that just because there are others that don't. |

If this is an element of the "which console has worse fanboys" argument then it's about as anecdotal as you can get. These videos shouldn't be used as evidence of anything other than how stupid the human race can be. |

I have about 200 mods for Skyrim alone, none of which I'd ever want to play without again. List them all then. I'll still go ahead and consider the fact that Skyrim Nexus has 29,269 mods currently. You have about %0.6833168198435204 of the mods available for Skyrim. |

There's also a search bar. And dozens of specific mod categories. And a "most downloaded" option. And a "files of the month" list. If that's still not enough to find something to suit you then I don't think mod availability is the problem. |

I've downloaded about 50 or so mods in my time on the PC(Half of those were in attempts to make my Rome 2 game playable) |

Actually, it's really not. I find the mods I'm interested almost instantly....  It could be because I look for specific ones, but nonetheless. |

LOL I can spend twenty minutes on the Skyrim Nexus and come away with half a dozen interesting new mods to try. If you're really having this much trouble finding something then I'm afraid I really don't know what to tell you. |

I'm always checking out new home, NPC and immersion (especially sound) mods myself. |

First time I used Skyrim Nexus, I was like a kid in a candy store. |
