To start off, I'm not exactly loving the over saturation of "(Insert game name here) Overrated?" threads.
Please, if you're reading this and have made a post like that, stop from doing so in the future. They serve no purpose. Every 'overrated' thread I see only include:
- A person who hates (insert game name here) and does nothing but bash it with no evidence/good reason behind such statements.
- Those who love the game and tell the TC that he/she is wrong.
- The people who are 'iffy', and only say that the game is overrated because it's not exactly on their list of 'awesome' games.
- The inevitable lock and/or complete wipe of the thread.
I've honestly seen a person say: "I personally don't like it much, it's not that bad, so yeah kinda overrated."

Seriously? That doesn't make sense at all. 'Overrated' is nothing more than your own personal opinion. Just because you don't like a game, doesn't mean that it's automatically 'overrated', and that it's an 'average' game that doesn't deserve to be in the AAA list.

Anyway, now what I really wanna talk about - The VMA's. Particularly Kanye West and Taylor Swift.
Now, I didn't actually watch the VMA's. It was a Sunday night, and that's when I usually brush up on those extended essays I get weekly. -_-
But from what I've been told by my friends and what I've seen on reports, is that Taylor Swift won 'Best Female artist video' award. (Or something along those lines). And as she goes up on stage and receives her award, and begins her acceptance speech, Kanye West just waltzes on to the stage, rips the microphone out of her hands and says:
"I'm happy for you, Imma let you finish, but Beyonce had one of the greatest music videos OF ALL TIME."
...And then he just leaves the stage.
At this point, I was just suprised, shocked, befuddled, all of the above. And aparently, AFTER the little episode, Beyonce did in fact end up getting the award (at least, that's what my friends tell me).
...This is just straight up wrong! If someone receives their very first award, let them have their moment! You may have ruined what was possibly the proudest moment of her life. Taylor Swift, a 19 year old up-and-coming music star (who already has quite a large following) was comepletely SHUT DOWN by Kanye West, a 32 year old man, AND one of the best rappers in hip-hop. I could only imagine how embarassing that was for her. An innocent 19-year-old girl that got shut down by one of the greatest rappers of this generation.
Now, what really bothers me is that some people are saying that it's Taylor's fault for giving Kanye the chance to do what he did.

Come on, seriously guys? How, in any way, shape or form is it Taylor's fault? And it's not like she could fight over the mic! They're celebrities! It's little, childish things like that which will get tabloid coverage and people will look at you in the wrong way. Not to mention, she couldn't even win in a struggle over a mic with him. (My own assumption, I don't know how strong Taylor is :roll: )
It's also been said that Kanye may have been intoxicated (drinking Henessy all night) and that it was nothing more than him being a typical drunk bastard. But of course, this is a lot worse on Kanye's part, because people thought that he was a cocky, self-absorbed douchebag before, but now he just put the icing on the cake.
I mean, hell. When the President of the United States calls you a jackass, you are a jackass.
What's my own personal opinion in this? Easy.
Kanye, grow up. You've lost your mother. You've lost your wife. We felt sorry for you. But we can't feel sorry for you forever. That honestly was just out of the line.
