Well Gwen still needs some development, I mean character development is necessary for any series with an established continuity, as Total Drama isn't episodic like say most of the Nicktoons or Cartoon Cartoons where every episode is self-contained, Gwen and the rest are part of a larger story within a universe somewhat more "three-dimensional" than a strictly episodic series, so to speak. I want to see her develop into a better and stronger character, but seeing how her enjoyability and appeal are plummeting between her highly controversial actions and season-to-season portrayals, then I'll concede that first priority probably should be consistency..........With her Total Drama Island self, that was the Gwen everybody loved and rooted for. That was when she was at her best, when nearly everyone was at their best, and when they started screwing with that, the entire show suffered horribly for it. They have to be consistent with their original selves, absolutely nothing less should be accepted.

I have no idea what is up with that post, but it raises some serious questions about Fresh and about their relationship/treatment of their own characters even more. As if it weren't bad enough already.

Exactly, they should not be doing that. It leads to too much hairy childish nonsense that mucks everything up, and gives rise to things running against common sense. Just don't be doing it at every turn, I mean come on. What do you intend to gain from it? And Scourtney is just absolutely moronic and lacking in intelligence, nothing about it clicks and is just an excuse to pair two people up for nothing but the sake of pairing them up. And I seriously want to know what the hell is up with that. It actually did have a few fans before it became canon, believe it or not, but would fans really have taken it in that direction for real, as you asked? I have no idea, but I would hope not. I think most people do realize how ridiculous a pairing it is. Still my pick for the most bizarre and nonsensical pairing to actually become canon. The fact that it imploded later makes its pointlessness even worse. Some bad ideas should just remain bad ideas, rather than ramping up the stupidity.

Seriously???? The Legend of Korra has not aired in Australia? 0_0

Yes, Avatar is just as guilty, even though it is clearly the better made show and has seen the shipping craze lose a lot of its virulent craziness in recent times. Total Drama though is marred by an insanity the writers keep feeding to.

A truly incredible irony. They did everything they could to glorify the Trio, literally handing them an entire season and handing them an easy victory and second straight season of overhyped focus and yet made every mistake you could possibly make which inevitably discredited their crusade and made those three the bane of the fandom, the three people fans would most like to see kicked off the show permanently (And we probably will get our wish fulfilled as far as Mike is concerned). My God, these writers are so inept. Nobody should be getting paid for putting out this kind of crap.

Fair enough. That's cool. But Good Lord, somebody save those two from the trend that has ruined them and so many others, the derailments have to stop. That needs to be first priority.

Well now THIS is news to me. O_O I had no idea Ghosts was so poorly received. This game looked pretty wild on the YouTube videos I saw of it but I had no idea its reception was so poor. Apparently people really didn't care for the single-player campaign and even the multiplayer fell flat? Holy Crap. X_X How did I miss all this?

But COD itself is not a bad series. For instance, Call of Duty 2 is an EXCELLENT game. You want a World War II game in its finest form, then please buy that. Right now. LOL.

Modern Warfare is pretty damn good too, I mean the single-player keeps you on edge the entire way through and is highly cinematic, and was a major runaway hit for the series. Still can't say if Advanced Warfare is good yet, and I did not finish Black Ops I.

I will say this though; too many scripted events in the newer Call of Duty games. Sure, most games are linear and ultimately always lead to the same outcome, but there's little variety in how you can complete the levels. No secret paths, no vehicle usage unless it's scripted as an option or plot point, and the "boss battles" are usually just those stupid button combos where you have to hit X and Y, etc. in a certain order on time in order to kill the villains, instead of letting you duke out the last kill as you see fit. I happen to value non-linear gameplay greatly, because it's so uncommon. To see example of what I mean, look up series like Wing Commander and Mass Effect to read more.

But overall, I don't think it's a bad franchise.
