I hate Shadowbane for making me play through 15 SB.exe's in one fucking night.

I hate City of Heroes for being a great combat mechanic wrapped around a horrible horrible grind, and for making playing a villain not be tempting in the least.

I hate World of Warcraft for being a better EQ than EQ and for flooding the MMOG market with an even lower common denominator.

I hate raiders for being sanctimonious uppity bitchass whiners.

I hate schild for recommending Colorful to me.

I hate Shockeye for posting less Useless News.

I hate Roac for holding beliefs similar to my own, yet arguing with me contrarily just because he can.

I hate that fucking O RLY Owl.

I hate Fox TV for constantly producing quality shows only to shitcan them when it turns out America just wants to see more shitty reality shows.

I hate HD TV for being too rich for my blood.

I hate computers for being so assfuckingly painful to upgrade, maintain and play on.

I hate the PC Gaming industry for pissing away its potential pursuing the big release sales push instead of maintaining a good back catalog, and for encouraging the consumerist attitude of gaming.

I hate the X-Box 360 for having a stupid fucking name and being too expensive for what you get.

I hate the PS3 for not having a unified, Live-like online service.

I hate the Revolution for having a nunchuk controller, knowing that it won't have nearly enough games to make the controller worthwhile.

I hate Hurricane Katrina.

But most importantly, I hate you all with the white hot passion of the sun.

I hate chicks who swear they are hot when they really, really are not.

I hate that my free sub to "Sporting News" has NO hockey coverage.

I hate how my closest friends have horrible taste in MMOs.

I hate how the regional newspapers have constant coverage of the Eagles, every day, even though they fucking suck. Meanwhile, the Flyers are doing awesome, even with a decimated lineup.

I hate how the weather at my house may be OK, but without fail, when I get to school (~20 min away), it's always somehow worse.

I hate that because I am no longer a student at my school, I can't have my easyass job that paid well enough.

I hate the MTGO online shuffler.

I hate how basketball seems to get more love in the Philadelphia area, even though the 76'ers are not that great, and hockey is a superior sport.

I hate the widespread appeal of hiphop, even though it's derivative shite, and instills horrible values in people.

I hate Ricers and their appeal, even though they are still SHITTY CARS.

I hate how people allow religion to become a serious part of political debate.

I hate how much shit Pres. Bush was able to pull in his first term, and then people still voted for him because they're scared of people who were born on pieces of dirt from another part of the world.

I hate how people have some kind of grievance against "intellectuals".

I hate how "liberal" has become a bad word in this country.

I hate how people stress over how they're going to pay for SS in the future, while they allow richass people to only pay up to a maximum amount, instead of paying the same percentage of their income as everyone else.

I hate how people give me shit, even waitresses, when I order something from a student-dominated bar/pub/whatever that isn't beer.

I hate how people think there's something wrong with not using every possible macro or automated mod in WoW.

I hate when people park too close to my car when I go out of my way to park away from people.

I hate how the NJ/PA area gets cold as shit in the winter, but the area skiing is ass.

I hate how people in NJ are shitty drivers, and even shittier when there is any kind of precipitation.

I hate how most games only seem to come out in Q4, when it's possible that spacing releases over an entire year will allow more people to buy more games.

I hate the ignorance and arrogance of most people from the US when they travel abroad.

Perhaps most importantly, I hate people in general. They're too fucking stupid.

Shouldn't it be "Festivus Airing of Grievances '05"?  Because aren't you ruining the integrity of FAG?

I hate that Festivus will soon be over and I'll have to tame my anger against all of you for another year.

I hate writing my year-end personal review where I'm forced to sanitize how fucked up things really are in a large company

I hate pretty much writing software and building online services where productivity is #1 and quality is #2

and I really hate business owners who push us to do that, only to shelve a product on launch, or have them jet off to another Executive recruitment placing so there's never any accountability

you get the picture

but I  :heart: teh hat3 at f13 :)

This isn't about hate, the airing of grievances is where I tell you all just how much you disappoint me. 

Stop turning console game threads into console v. PC threads, damnit. 

Quit telling me to Den threads and then getting mad when I do it!

Stop telling me about your TV, Sky!

Avoid poking the Jesus folk.  Jesus folk, take your poking like Jesus would!

KOTOR2 developers and others.. quit ruining great games with bad endings!

Posting fur porn is not festive.

Hobbit porn is never acceptable either.

Posting recipes containing beef is insensitive to my food allergies.  Enough!

Roac, agree with someone!

Quit giving me reasons to use grief pics.. yes, I've never really been on SA. It's new to me!

Write more stuff for the front page.  Most if it's pretty damn good!

Post by: Llava on December 21, 2005, 02:50:00 PM
I hate the right wing.

I have limited contempt for the left wing.

I hate not getting that awesome name that I really, really want on City of Villains even though it's very creative and I can't imagine anyone else having come up with it before.  And then I hate getting something really obvious that has nothing to do with any concept I want to play, like "Sea".  Yeah, I have the name "Sea" on Virtue.  Anyone want it?  (I would say that I hate that names are the real currency in City of Heroes/Villains, but I am actually fairly amused by that fact.)

I hate Awry for getting my dream job.  Damn her.  Austin looked so cool, too.  But she's doing a good job, I GUESS.  Still, if only she hadn't applied I would've been flown out for the interview at least.

I hate Adult Swim for producing so many truly awful shows, but then throwing in some extremely hilarious and high-quality stuff that makes me grit my teeth and sit through the awful stuff.  Squidbillies, 12 Oz. Mouse, I'm look at you.  Get out of the way of my Boondocks.

I hate having so little free time.  Hooray for Christmas week, I have three days off.

I hate Bush, but I really hate the people who buy into all his bullshit and refuse, absolutely refuse, to admit any wrongdoing on his part whatsoever.

I hate modern medical science for really slacking off on their solutions to real problems.  Can't walk?  Wheel your ass around in this chair.  Can't see?  Have this dog drag you around.  Don't want a kid?  Put this balloon on your cock.  These are answers I could come up with.  Sure, their wheelchairs are better than mine would be, and their dogs are well trained, and their cock-balloons don't cut off circulation like mine would, but where's the real progress?  It just occured as I was writing about losing blood circulation to the cock that this is a good metaphor for the MMOG industry.

I don't hate most of you.  But I hate when you all consistently prove yourselves to be more clever than me.  Not all of you, sure, but enough to make me feel inferior.  Smartass fuckers.

I hate schilds shrill voice. Despite the fact that me pissing him off over TeamSpeak usually caused it.

I hate the canadian jokes. They were funny 10 years ago when you realized the rest of the world existed, jackholes.

I hate the fact that EB Games is the worst company to have existed. Managing to outdo Future Shop/Best Buy in the "just don't fucking care" category. I hate that I"ve put in more time into my store than most of my managers and my district manager still thinks I have a customer service issue because I tell people games like "Path of Neo" suck copious amounts of dick. So bitter.

I hate Stray and Sky. Cause I fucking can.


Title: Re: Festivus '05 Airing of Grievances
Post by: Shockeye on December 21, 2005, 03:58:54 PM
I hate Sky's endless talk about how great his TV is and how great the computer is hooked up to the TV. Mostly I hate it because I don't have a TV that nice and it's easier to hate him than to buy one for myself.

I hate all the mods for different reasons:

I still hate Shockeye for being very mean to me when I first started posting here.  Also I dont like most of his avatars.

I hate Haemish for hating innovation even though it makes sense I still hate him for being able to be that logical when it comes to games.

I hate Schild for loving the psp so much, and the general decline in how often he talks about things that I think are cool.  He's become too jaded too fast.  I liked slutty "this new feature will be great" Schild.

I hate the green names for being green names and getting to post in the Den.  Also people naturally take their posts more seriously.

I hate the blue names because most of them wrote a review of some kind of console game that I would never bother to play but they get their posts taken more seriously.  Voodoo earned hers though so I dont hate her  :evil:

Of all the white name posters I hate here are my top 5 in no order:

I hate Roac because he always sounds like he is right even though most of the time he's really not right at all and is just playing devil's advocate for no reason.  Also I always feel like he spent as much time researching and thinking out each one of his posts as I spend on 2 days worth of posting.  Oh and he always ignores 90% of the things I say, almost all of you do that, I hate you all for that.

I hate Triforcer because he's a fucking assclown, and his bullshit about academics always rubs me the wrong way.

I hate Paelos because he's been so good at avoiding anyone baiting him to engage in defending his faith.  Also it does make me hate him how he posts way more pictures of boobies and was hella mean to Austrailians thats not Christian or something.

I hate angry.bob because he doesn't post enough and most of the time his posts make me laugh out loud.  Which is bad because unlike most of you I am not supposed to use the internet for whatever at work and I have a co-worker who sits behind me and makes comments about my work habits (fuck him I hate this job).  

Finally I hate Margalis because he always says what I meant to say but didn't communicate properly.  Also I hate what a cool avatar he has.

In closing I hate all the posters who can claim english is not their first language I wish I had that excuse most of the time after I re-read my posts.  I really need to get back in school, or perhaps stop posting from work which would really be a two birds with one stone type of deal.

In closing part duex I hate the fucking spellchecker if it tells me to put a ' in dont one more time, or tries to correct things like pvp or mmo one more time I'm going to shoot it in the face.

I officially dislike 42% of the blue names.  I detest 1 of them with passion.

I dislike that inevitably all the threads of some substance will deteriorate to madness.  It seems like it always becomes "I know you are but what am I?!"

SOE has no vision nor regard for their customers.

I dislike Schilds shill attitude for aforementioned company.

I hate the fact that people think I am nice.  I assure you I am not.

I'm annoyed that it's gotten so boring around here that I just end up IMing schild or shockeye to shoot the shit. Or playing solitaire.

I think it's lame that 85% of threads with any action are MMOG threads, and you all know how I feel about those.

I wish that SuperPopTart hadn't gotten her panties in a wad about my feelings on pr0n (which are personal and have nothing to do with undermining her chosen career), cuz now I feel like I hafta tiptoe around her, and as a result, I feel like Signe and Haemish are automatically "Against Voodoolily".  I'm sick of playing kissass to avoid friction.

I'm still sorry I was so mean to Cheddar, even if he deserved it a little, but I wish he'd just get the fuck over it. I don't like having enemies.

Yes, this is trite, but I really fucking hate it when you people can't use the proper "it's" and "its". We're talking fifth grade English here, people.

Why can't you people post in politics (or geez, any thread?) without turning it into a religious debate or an ID debate? I get sick of having to hit "Mark As Read" ten times a day just because I made the mistake of posting once in a thread that has devolved into dooky.

I, too, am tired of console game threads turning to 'console vs. pc' threads. And I don't give a shit how uber your system is.

Generally speaking though, I think you all are some alright people, and I genuinely wish I could grab a beer with you once in awhile.

Ahh, the Grievances.

Seriously, Sky, shut the hell up about the TV. We get it, we've heard it. We can empathize about the lack of support but you're on the fringe! Let it go, it's getting old, man!

My job: What the fuck! These people have been drafting electronically for 10 of their 25 years in business but they have no fucking electronic data standards. So long as it prints out the same, no big deal!  Standard house plans that everyone can use? Oh fuck no, just pull the last job and revise it.  Doesn't matter if you're holding up half the second floor and a steel beam with just A FUCKING 2X12, someone will catch that in the field!  How they hell does anything get done?! Oh right, it doesn't they have a department that's 5x the size it should be because the bosses don't understand the tech and the grunts just don't give a fuck because they get a check either way..  God damned armature bullshit.

Schild :  You dislike the MMO industry. Great! Fantastic! Stop taunting those of us who do play like we're some kind of retarded monkey.  Your hard-on for all things Japanese puts you just this side of people who run around calling themselves "-chan" or "-san" and giggle about how otaku they are.  Get help.

Cheddar: She's taken, let it go and find another chix to pine over.  I think she's got a touch of the ADD anyway.

WayAbvPar:  Dude, I can't find anything to bitch at you for, you appointed me your voice on casual gaming or somesuch way back when.  I'm sure you've forgotten by now, so hey look I found something after all.  God damned forgetful, insincere bastard.

Darniaq:  Good god, Dar just once I want to see you fly off the handle about something.  Get enraged, get angry drop a curse once in a while.  Damnit, you're too calm and take all this stuff like it doesn't matter! It's the internet, it's SERIOUS BUSINESS!

Haemish:  Put on some damn weight.  Someone as angry as you has no right to be that skinny.  You're a dissapointment to angry white southerners everywhere, looking like some West Virginian bastard of Appalachian descent.

Shockeye: Who the hell told you to take a break. Get back to the useless and trivial news.  I'm too fucking lazy to troll Fark and this place.

Raph: Stop lurking and post your damn grievances.  I know you're out there. The mods can change your name to protect your employment and rep... well ok, your employment at least.

Signe: The weed, cut it in about half.

Voodoo: The speed, cut it in about half.

angry.bob: You killed all the other bobs, didn't you.

Strazos: Get laid, get drunk, get some life experience.  You're so close to being human but still stuck on that high school side of life.  It's over you're older, move on!

Roac, Murgos, Poptart and assorted others:  I have no big grievances to come up with for you.  That irritates the fuck out of me, entertain me more, damnit.

I hate that you're super wrong. I love the MMOG industry, I just want to see it turn in the right direction. Not the direction it's headed. Which is boring-world. I hate that people don't realize that if I hated the MMOG industry I would've left a long time ago.

LOL really?

Wow. I'm sorry you feel like you have to tiptoe around me but why in the world would you ever do that? I am the bottom of the heap when it comes to F13ers and mostly because I'm a giant fucking moron. I don't post to be funny, to be popular, or to gain friends. I care if maybe four people on this site like me, none of which are you. I encourage you to feel the same. And by the way sweets, I didn't get my panties in a bunch you just can't take a fucking joke. Again, Not Poptart's problem.

As for Haem and Signe..

I don't speak for them. We don't share the same brain. And if they don't like you (Which I've never EVER heard either of them say)  then it's for their own reasons that have nothing to do with me. And P.S. Sweetheart. No one's asking you to kiss anyone's ass. You are puckering up for your own reasons.

Not high school. Please move on. Want to den this, go for it.

I'm now going to watch Kevin Smith. Enjoy the basting.

I really hate you people telling me to post more useless news. I've done more than my share again recently and it's not enough for you. You do remember the dark time, don't you? You don't want it to come back, do you? You'll get your useless news when I want to post useless news and you'll like it.

I hate people that don't post useless news when I'm not able to or just "not feeling it". Open your local paper, I'm sure it's full of tards.

I hate people that post just to see their post which is like talking just to hear themself talk. I'm looking at you Strazos.

I hate people that lurk and don't post. I'm looking at you Smedley.

I hate that 99% of gaming journalism is complete and utter crap.

I hate that I have to make a list of things I hate.

I hate earphones that make my ears sweaty. Especially when it's the headphones that are ventilated to prevent my ears from getting sweaty.

I hate people that don't know the difference between "its", "it's", "your" and "you're".

I hate people that bitch about the spellchecker here because you know what folks? I'll fix it when I damn well get around to it.

I hate it that Haemish will no longer cyber me on Teamspeak.

I hate it when I have to put back on my robe and wizard hat.

I hate it that very few games get me really interested anymore.

I hate being labelled a "fansite".

I hate getting burned out on a MMOG, leaving for a month or two, then going back and remembering why I burned out the first time AFTER I've resubscribed. The fourth time.

I hate 1 liter bottles of soda costing more than 2 liter bottles of soda.

Cheddar: She's taken, let it go and find another chix to pine over.  I think she's got a touch of the ADD anyway.

This confuses me.  Have I sent signals I did not mean?  I have another.  Curmudgeon, idiot, moron, <fill in blank>.  PM me details please, I am curious as to how this came about.

I am not good at the internet, and honestly cancel maybe 75% of my posts before posting.

I hate the fact that most video games don't seem like they're worth my time or money these days.

I hate all the recent SWG talk here.  Over 40 pages of posts about a game the vast majority don't play.  Can we talk about shit people actually care about now rather that a game that most people here stopped playing shortly after release if they ever played at all?

I hate people who become celebrities despite a lack of any sort of actual talent (Paris Hilton for example).

I hate that Schild put off doing reviews for a long time, then reviewed 23 games at once.  Fuck writer's block, they're fucking video game reviews.  Nobody is expecting epic poetry.

I hate Haemish for not using the word Thundercunt nearly enough.

I hate everyone here who doesn't read comics.

I also hate everyone who has read a comic I've recommend, and then never posted whether they liked it or not

I hate kids who read manga while sitting in the aisles at the bookstore, kids who buy wrestling action figures, and kids who watch Dragonball Z and have Dragonball Z screen names.

I hate the Wiggles.  So very much.

I hate Stray for quitting WoW at a time when I was slowly approaching his level.

edit:  Oh, and I hate that it takes some long-winded review to become a contributor when most here seem to be in agreement that a good video game review really doesn't need to be more than a few sentences and a rating of fun or not fun.  Come up with a logical review format here and stick with it so people don't have to pad shit out like they're writing a fucking thesis

I hate the disdain the Smedco/LA alliance showed for its vets (but you knew that)

I hate that schild is willing to sacrifice his fellow gamers, no matter how much of a bunch of raging crotchphesants they are, on the altar of risky, ill-thought out and implemented and what I fear will be ultimately duplicitous "innovation".

I hate Michael fucking Bloomberg for pretending he's a little Dubya and calling the striking NYC transit workers thugs when he should be trying to get them to come to the goddamn bargaining table so this city can start functioning again.

I hate that Dubya will probably wipe his ass with the constitution yet again and get away with it

I hate the "well Clinton did this" defense. It's bullshit.

I hate republican shills

I hate democrat shills

I hate that the democrats are the party of no ideas and the republicans are the party of mind-numbingly stupid ideas.

I hate that the United States of America has quickly declined into a nation full of "me-first", self-centered, craven sheep. Easily led if you promise them money for nothing that you'll never deliver or threaten them with some nebulous other.

I hate that I'm still in love with my ex when she's decided she's no longer in love with me and that typing this makes me cry when I've never cried over a woman before in my life.

I hate that her parents still consider me part of the family and that I still want to be part of it.

I hate that she'll one day find out that true love is sometimes madness.

For the first time ever, I hate being alone on Christmas.

I hate that so much of my support mechanism of friends has gone home for the holidays that I'm typing this out to a bunch of foul-mouthed gamers on a board I ostensibly joined to bitch about SWG.

I hate that SWG and f13 contributed to the end of my relationship.

I don't hate most of the posters here, though I do hate the fact that I can't keep away from this site.

I hate when people hold grudges with me, especially since I'm an expert on holding grudges against people.

I hate that my car is a V6, and not a V8.

I hate how the standardized tests I need to take for school cost so damn much.

I have to jump on the bandwagon: I hate how Sky expects the entire video game industry to support him and the 6 other people in the continental US who play their PC games on a damn widescreen TV.

I hate the low speed limits in the US. Newsflash: anything below 50 mph on an open road is SLOW.

I hate sports fans that don't know shit about how their favorite sport is played, even more so when I have to listen to them at an arena.

I hate how Hollywood seems intent on butchering classic source material in movie adaptations. I'm looking at you, every single person involved in Troy.

I hate the Bingles hate.

I hate people with dental jewelery. It's an embarrassment to admit that we're of the same species.

I hate watching Jet Li movies. He's a great martial artist. He's a shitty, one-role actor.

I hate US history courses.

I hate when my sister parks behind me, and I have to move her car in the morning when I am trying to get to class on-time.

I hate Broccoli.

I hate when I am stuck behind slowass newbies when I am skiing.

I hate when a gaggle of snowboards decides to just plop their asses down across the middle of a trail. One of these days I'm going to lose a ski pole in one of their skulls.

I hate fat girls who underdress or wear things that are too small for them - no one wants to see your accentuated fat.

I hate holiday cheer and school pride.

I guess that's enough...for now.

EDIT: I hate that I am so fucking lazy that I wait until the last possible moment to write my papers. I think writing my 25+ page seminar paper in a single day actually made me sick.

I hate that i still screw up 'it's' 'its' and 'its''.

I hate that every year the games get better and yet somehow every year the games get worse.

I hate that i think i could do better but know deep down that creating games is HARD.

I hate that i got a Masters in Business Admin only to realize business bores the shit out of me.

I hate that i like to play games with other people, but other people are mostly stupid.

I love my wife.  I hate everything else.


I am dissappointed that Signe doesn't get that.

I am dissappointed that this thread, which I thought was meant to be where we get together and lambast each other for faults, has become a general hatred thread.

I can't stand the arrogance that literally hits you in the nose like a month old corpse the moment you open any politics thread.  Any of them.  There's always some retard claiming THE HIGH GROUND.  Yes, I can't stand it when it's me either.

I'm annoyed at the hatred that people heap on WoW, pretending that they're cool and hip.  It's a game, retards.  It's a damn good game.  It's polished and engaging and interesting and you too can meet nice people and form a community.  No, it's nothing new.  It's old done better.  I hate it that there are people that can't be happy with that and demand new stuff, which inevitably just turns out to be 'new suck'.

I can't stand that SWG is still being talked about, despite sucking the marrow of the earth and EVERYONE who was involved in designing it and shipping it out being crack-addled retards.  Let's start worshipping Raph when he puts out anything decent (and I mean anything, including music) and stops wanking for the benefit of his peers.

I miss Lum and hate it that life forces you to grow up, though I hate it somewhat lesst when occasionally he let's his inner muse out and shines.  Especially when trolling his fellow Republicans.  Or making Card Games.  That kicked ass.  Giggle.

I can't stand this community, full of decent and wondrous people who, daily, make me laugh and smile and occasionally throw my laptop in a fit of rage against what I thought was the wall but turned out to be the partition window.  That came out of my wages you fucknuts.

I wish Schild would just come out and admit to ADD, or being young and impressionable, or actually being The Joker in real life with a kickass plan to destroy Batman.

I hate the fracturing and fragmenting of a community that all feel the same and think the same and don't have the balls to admit it.

I can't stand Bruce and wish him a long, drawn out and painful death.

I hate Christmas.  I hate it that I can't enjoy it because it was the perfect time for my father in law to succumb to chronic depression and hang himself with electrical wire in his spare bedroom.  Yeah, that didn't fuck up my wife or her family.  Thanks for that God.  Oh, and I don't believe in you either, despite what some of the totally mental people on this board think.  Especially after my first childs miscarriage.  Why don't you just go the whole hog and fuck up my wife's newly announced pregnancy, you retard ?


And, most importantly of all, I hate that I cannot comment on an ongoing investigation.

I hate that Ironwood is the third or fourth person to accuse me of having ADD when really the problem is that I can judge games quickly because I play all of them and I can smell originality like it's human blood.

I hate that Schild's a nice, lazy fuck that waits for other people to bitch about him before he can post another bitch.

I hate that Haemish can be more creatively profane in his sleep than I've ever aspired to be.

I hate that I'm considering getting an MBA when I hate all MBAs with the fire of a thousand suns.

I hate that when all is said and done I'll ultimately love more than I hate.

And I love that Signe wanted to hug me. It makes the previous line a bit more acceptable.

I don't really have grievances. I gripe about a few things, but it's just venting, mostly. I seem a lot more unhappy than I am, because I come across as curmudgeonly. The only hate I hold in my heart is for my ex-guitar player who misled and destroyed our band with malice. Anything else is just small stuff not worthy of hatred.

So I'll just say I love all of you, though some to more or less a degree than others. I hope your holidays are safe and happy and remember to cherish those around you, even those who drive you nuts. They might not be there tomorrow.

Sorry to piss up the thread with that, but eh. It's the way I am, heh. Have a cookie.

I hate that the Baby-boomers promised that they would 'fix' America, not once but twice, and yet have only turned it into a shrine to their own sense of enlightened self interest.

Airing grievances eh? Here we go:

- To anybody that thinks contributor names matter, get over yourselves or write something clever. Hell, it doesn't even have to be clever, it just has to be mildly amusing. This ain't the New Yorker, and for that I am infinitely thankful.

- To Schild: we know you hate WoW. We don't care. I still want to stick it to my veins. Excuse me while I kiss the sky.

- To Shockeye: I like Useless News. I don't like when it goes to politics. I don't like politics.

- To Sky: Fuck them if they hate on your TV. Just don't expect programming for it. Oh, and tell us more about fucking sluts on broken liquor bottles after a gig. I like to hear about things I could never do.

- To Voodoo: You're weird. That's fine. Fly your freak flag. Remember to fly it far away from porno 'round these parts though. And quit queering up threads when we're posting hot chicks. That's rude.

- To Proudmoore server Aussies: You give your countrymen a bad name. Stop telling people on the forums where you are from and spare your country further embarrassment. You suck.

- To WoW uber-raiders: Uber-lewt is fleeting. Douchebaggery lasts a lifetime.

- To Haemish: The dog is making you weak. Snowbeast is waiting to eat you and take your place when you least suspect it. You have been warned.

- To Comic-lovers: Movies made from comics suck. No, I don't want to hear about them. No, I don't care how cool you think it is. Stop it.

- To people that love Cartoon Network: It's just not that cool. There is a LOT of stupid shit there with moments of brilliance. They need to weed out the crap before it can be considered good.

- To Strazos: Quality over quantity please.

- To the Atheists: I won't bother talking to you about religion. If we can't even agree that there is a higher power involved, then we have no common basis to start a conversation on the supernatural realm. Yes, I know that's arrogent to a few of you, and no, I don't care. Frankly, you wouldn't care about my views anyway.

- To SuperPopTart: Sometimes you're nice, sometimes you're not. Post more when you're not. Just not at me.

- To the NHL: Going to OLN was not the answer. That was retarded.

- To the BCS: I'm going to keep screaming Playoff like Norma Ray screamed Union. Fuck you and your money hats.

- To F13 at large: More PC, less console. I hate console.

I hate that I didn't have anything to post that wasn't a reaction to someone else's post.  As usual.

I hate that everything that is seriously wrong in my life is something I could have avoided if I had done things differently ten years ago.

I hate that everything that will be seriously wrong with my life in ten years will be things I could avoid if I did things differently today.

I hate that my mother is dead.

I hate that ideas have very little to do with making good games, and hard work everything to do with it.

I hate that insurance is only available to people who don't need it.

I hate the 80/20 rule.

I hate that Shadowbane is so buggy.

I hate dial-up.

I hate political stuff I'm not going to drag in here.

I hate that December has been so freaking cold.

I hate that the polar icecaps are melting.

I hate that I suddenly feel that whether I say 'Happy Holidays' or 'Merry Christmas' makes a difference, when I've never paid any attention to which one I've said before.

I hate that I've started saying neither one.

I hate that my mom's sister died three weeks ago.  Also of cancer. I hate that my mom's mom isn't expected to make it through the week. Also because of cancer (2 kinds, even!).

I'm disappointed that I read through this whole thread and no one was funny.  Not even Signe, who always makes me laugh.  You all tried too hard.  Comedy comes from the heart.  Where the fuck is the heart?!

Rasix clearly states early in this thread what the rules are for the Airing of the Grievances.  Then he demonstrates how to do it in the rest of his post. Then, like a pack of four year olds, none of you are able to follow his instructions or example.

Y'all are too pack-like with new posters (St Gabe comes to mind) that don't suck f13 ass / have extremely similar view points.  If someone seems like they aren't a complete dillweed at least give them a couple posts before breaking out the pitchforks and torches.  Consider that even the folks in the industry that are recognized as being the brightest/most knowledgeable still don't really have it all down (SWG should have had gameplay that mirrored the movies from the start), especially with MMOs.  Making fun games clearly isn't paint by numbers quite yet.  Differing viewpoints/ideas should not be tossed aside casually, let alone contemptuously.

The threads in the gaming topics do not need to have some right wing/left wing/wingnut agenda added to them.  Politics has it's own topic.  Every now and then exercise a little self control and choose not to mention Dubya, the Marshal Plan or Marx in a thread about elves and the fags that play them.

Massive fonts are amusing, oh, maybe once per poster.  After that it's just gratuitous forum masturbation.  Font size has nothing to do with I.Q.  Stop it.

I cannot seem to post anything short of a manifesto without getting my point across (if then).  I need to be funny, clear and concise, or just shut the fuck up.

"I've got a lot of problems with you people, and now you're going to hear about them!"

I haven't been here for too long, which belies my MMOG experience.  I just never got involved in the community outside the games in a really big way.  However I seem to have become lodged in the pixels here, and here is my airing.

For everyone, it makes me sick when any of you take things too seriously.  I have invested considerable (for me) emotional investment in most of you and I demand you all play nice.  I don't mean to be nice towards others here, I mean get the chips off the shoulders and take the f13 medicine like a grown-up.  I want to post more anger but I need to be sure you people are not going to go real-life-apeshit.  There are plenty of real, genuine things to be upset about in life, and none of them have anything to do with f13.net... unless you are one of the owners, keke.

Schild, I don't have too many problems with you but you really have got to stop telling me about great games that I have not played.  The fact that you asked me to write something for f13 also makes your intellect suspect.  Despite that I feel like I am going to disappoint you, so I am making time to contribute.  I don't do this for anybody.  Put the voodoo doll down, bitch.  Also, cut back on the Nintendo hate, or at least don't be such a Sony-pony at the same time.

Haem, I need to play some sort of game with you, I think.  I don't know what you are into, though, so give out some more of that info.  Are you actually playing a game right now?

Voodoolily, you worry too much.  People don't hate you.  You're gold, or melange, or something really great like a soap-making biologist that can cook, so stop being so insecure.  Your name is a killing word, fuck everyone else.  Also, you typed out my name.  It makes me happy to see my name.

Straz.  Oh, Straz.  You remind me of myself a lot when I was your age, except that I had no money or internet, which is why I delete or edit so many posts.  I don't like that you never respond to my posts that I make solely to irritate you.

Shockeye, you take too much shit from these fuckers.

Cheddar, you have to give me something more concrete to hate on than just being "not nice".  You are in a vague grey area; get out of it.  Either direction is good, since I don't really hate, or even dislike, anyone on this board.

McQuaid, jeez.  It's fine to design something for a niche but quit pretending it's mainstream and that we are all idiots.  Jesus Christ, step outside on occasion.

Molyneux, you just suck now.  Stop making games, please.

I can't think of anything that needs to be aired for the rest of you.  See you in Baldwin Online.

I hate that most of you bailed on CoH after a few months. Only person who shows up and says anything on the batnet channel anymore is Signe. I start to hate her but then she shows up, says boo, and then she's a swell person until I start hating her again.

I hate that most new PC games will require me to sell a kidney so I can upgrade my system.

I hate that Planetside never really took off and what could have been a really interesting game just stagnated.

I hate my stupid personal rule of only playing one MMO game at a time and wanting to play WoW but still loving CoH/CoV too much to quit.

I hate foreign politics because I'm an idealistic fool who things everyone should be be able to get along with each other.

I hate politics in general because it usually confuses me and I wonder why things like pork-barrel politics and attaching unrelated amendments to bills ever got started because these people are supposed to be helping everyone for the greater good of all. (See above idealistic fool comment).

I hate having to drive 4.5 hours to see my in-laws. They're great people but the drive is a killer. Its far enough so its a pain but not far enough where we only have to drive it once or twice a year.

I hate that the part of the company that I work in doesn't get 9/80s.

And this affects you how?

i'm mad because i have a real job and dont have mommy and daddys money to buy me every game and system

Maybe you should get a "real job" that pays better.

i'm mad because i have better things to do then wacking off to my psp and 360 that i dont have because i have to spend money on things like rent and food and gas

I can't believe a box in the alley is that expensive and seeing as how you obviously dine from the dumpster, you should have plenty of spending cash. Plus the gas you siphon from the stripped cars should keep you nice and warm with those barrel fires and all. You have no excuse for lacking a PSP and Xbox 360. The only person you have to blame is yourself.

i'm mad because i got laid in the last year

Blowing someone for a bag of crack doesn't count as "getting laid".

i'm mad because i didnt get a free trip plus free shit to pimp star wars

Didn't we already deal with this in another thread? Next.

i'm mad because you all post stupid shitty stick figure cartoons that no one thinks are funny

"I am frustrated to the point of teamwork" wasn't funny?

i'm mad because you talk about britney spears and jessica mulligans anatomy more then games

Yes, I have an unhealthy obsession with Britney. I don't know what to do about it. As for Jessica, there's a thread currently over in the MMOG forum that doesn't have one comment in regards to her anatomy. Well, it didn't at the time I wrote this.

Ok, I'm done SirFurrying this post. Continue your gripes.

1 - A/S/L?
2 - Long ago, man invented something called a comma. I understand how you missed it since it's near the shift key that seems to elude you as well.
3 - Where did Schild touch you? Did you like it and now feel guilty?
4 - If you think we like SOE, you obviously can't read. You should have flamed us in emoticons.

Meh? Why do I always get dragged into these things?

In response:

1) I think schild got a free trip to Austin for his pimpin', but then he pimps it hard.
2) She's not my girl, she's my wife and my wife could kick your ass
3) Being nice to the owners of a biased, personal site means they get you free shit when they can. OH NOES! Alert the media!
4) Turbine Cock tastes minty, SOE Cock tastes like bacon.
5) We are leet enough in the game community to get flamed by complete strangers on gimmick accounts. SWEET! Maybe next year, we can get flamed by useless print magazines like PC Gamer.
6) Butters gives good handjobs in the corner for betas.
7) If you are mad because you got laid, I'd hate think how pissed off you'd be if you got in a threesome.

I'm actually kinda surprised that Schild isn't sucking some dick to get into the Chronicles of Spellborn beta.  The combat system (http://www.thechroniclesofspellborn.com/gameworld/?id=skillsystem) seems like something that he'd be into, since it sounds like there's a bit of twitch involved.  Of course it's being developed by some unknown Dutch company, so the chances of the game being anything good are slim.

Yeah, I noticed Chronicles of Spellborn when I was looking at MMORPG.com for some reason the other day.  Reading through the website, they actually seem to have a lot of good ideas and some ok graphics (uses the Unreal engine).  I just assume that they'll manage to fuck up the implementation, but at least they seem to recognize a lot of the faults with the current crop of MMO's.

Edit:  Actually MMORPG.com's article (http://mmorpg.com/gamelist.cfm/setview/features/gameID/207/loadFeature/335/page/2/from/) has more info about the game than the website does.
