    Quoted from RyanStl:

    This unpop opinion could go either way depending on the audiance. I just read War and Peace and it sucked donkey balls. Now, I'm watching the BBC 6 episode mini-series and it sucks donkey balls. Why do people that pride themselves on liking books love this so much? The audio book is F'ng 61 hours of boredom.

    I travel for work and listen to a lot of audio books. I Just started listening to the first book in Stephen kings the dark tower series. I absolutely hate it. I forced myself to listen to over half the book hoping it would grow on me..... it didn't. I can't stand the writing style/narration/and the way the characters talk. I know it's supposed to be Stephen kings favorite book series he wrote but it's awful. And they're like 8 more books in the series, no thanks. I enjoy most other Stephen king books I've read/listened to but there is no way I could suffer through this book, if I was reading it I probably would've stopped in the first chapter.

    Quoted from Caponicus:

    Hang in there! After the first book the series gets terrific. The readers change back and forth in the audio format, which are explained by Stephen King in authors notes at the end of later books. The reader for books 2-5 is A+. Overall The Dark Tower audio series is one of my favorites. I remember thinking book 1 was slow too.

    Quoted from RyanStl:

    The Dark Tower is my favorite fantasy series (the movie was shite). Even though the first book of the series is not the best one in the group because a couple main characters haven't been met. However, if you can get past Roland and the way he talks, you'll not like the rest. I would cut it loose. Based on what you are saying you would probably hate Lisey's Story as well by SK. Can I hear "bad gunky".

    Yep, that's why I posted this as an unpopular opinion. I don't doubt the subsequent books get better, they definitely can't get any worse than the first one IMO. I just couldn't suffer through the book any longer. I'm thinking the story just isn't for me. I really liked cell and desperation....two of Stephen king's poorly reviewed books. Just listened to a big collection of his short stories including "in the tall grass". That one was interesting, Hulu (or Netflix?) made a movie based on "in the tall grass". They changed the story a bit but the movie adaption was good nonetheless, check it out if you haven't seen it. Also "1408" is in my top 5 favorite movies, not sure if that's an unpopular opinion though?

    Quoted from jackd104:

    If you don't get moderated once in a while, you're not truly living.

    That should be an achievement award, along with starting a "bubble burst thread" within <1yr on the site.

    Quoted from RWH:

    I don't care for LEDS or outrageous light shows, they just blind me to the balls movement. I also am not a fan of a lot of "toys" on the PF's, I like to track the ball to anticipate where it is going some toys but too much just blocks sight and tracking for me.

    I prefer LEDs, but some of these lighting setups I've seen on can be pretty ridiculous. For example: My Paragon came with 4smd LEDs in all of the insert and GI lights. You needed sunglasses to play the freaking game. I switched them out with 2smd frosted sunlight which are just the right amount of brightness without blinding you.

    Quoted from bane:

    Back to the Future isn’t that good. Part 2 is dumb. 3 is atrocious.

    I kinda agree with you on this. My wife loves these movies, and I've always tolerated watching them with her but I've always felt that they were a bit overrated.

    Best thing that came out of the movies:

    Quoted from fuzz:

    Tournament/PAPA does more harm than good for Pinball as a whole

    How so? I'm not disagreeing with you, just curious what type of harm you mean?
