Festivus '05 Airing of Grievances

[Shockeye]

You've waited all year to bitch at one another for slights real or imagined so without further ado...

YOU ALL SUCK

[WayAbvPar]

I have a lot of problems with you people! So many that I will now grief pic you with an O RLY owl.

[HaemishM]

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.

[Murgos]

I hate that fucking O RLY Owl.

Preach on brother, preach on.

[Strazos]

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.

[Signe]

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

I hate the eight pills that I have to eat every day or I'll pop my clogs or something. 

And Strazos... but only when he pretends to be a boy, otherwise I love him dearly.

[Bunk]

I hate regional sports broadcast contracts that prevent me from getting Canucks on Sportsnet HD

I hate the last 1/4 of Kotor 2

I hate that that was the only new RPG I played this year

I hate Weezer

I hate great games with gamestopping bugs - fuck you Sid

I hate Richmond drivers

I hate spreadsheets

I hate fairweather Sports fans

I hate working on Sunday

I hate pink Hummers - yes I saw one last week

I hate Hummers with tinted windows and spinners - saw one of those too

I hate not being able to skip the FBI warning on DVDs

I hate the effect beer has on my belly

I hate Streaks on my glasses

I hate nylon clothing - especially when its considered fashionable

I still Hate Celine Dion, George Bush Jr, Jack Thompson, and the guy who does radio spots for Spence Diamonds.

I hate names like Loquish'a

I hate runny eggs

Eh, good enough for now. I may come back later to direct some grievances at you folks.

[SuperPopTart]

Le Sigh. We go.

I hate Christmas Shopper-Drivers.

I hate people who somehow have decided they are better than everyone else just on GP. Flucking die.

I hate no snow.

I hate that my christmas tree is wilting.

I hate, hate, hate, HATE MY panic attacks.

I hate that I can't find a game I will actually be happy with playing.

I hate a few people that I can't mention here.

I hate SOE.

I hate some of you. You know who you asstards are. I don't have to explain it.

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 MySpace for becoming my newest "fun" thing to look at on the interbenenet.

[Strazos]

I hate MySpace for becoming my newest "fun" thing to look at on the interbenenet.

YES!

"Do you have a Myspace?"
"No."
"Why not? It's awesome."
"What's the point?"

I should just record my answers and play them when needed, to save energy.

[Viin]

I hate getting the god damn paper every morning, even though I haven't been a subscriber for 5 years.

I hate being cold at home and having to wear sweaters and gloves to keep from freezing to death.

...

I think that's it. I'm pretty easy.

[Soln]

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  teh hat3 at f13 :)

happy non-denominational fun to thee and thine

[Signe]

I hate brussel sprouts.

[Rasix]

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!

[Signe]

Brussel sprouts disappoint me.

[Rasix]

Me too.  They haven't done anything for me this year.

[Llava]

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.

[schild]

I fear that next year I will be bitching that Nintendo didn't bring out a mustard yellow revolution in America.

[Shockeye]

I fear that next year I will be bitching that Nintendo didn't bring out a mustard yellow revolution in America.

I hate schild when he wusses up threads.

[schild]

I hate schild when he wusses up threads.

Is that an aluminum pole under the f13.net banner up there?

Yes.

[NiX]

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.

[Shockeye]

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.

[NiX]

I hate the fact that he bitches about developers not supporting people who hook their computers up to widescreen TVs.

Also, I hate the fact that Shockeye or Schild haven't renamed dusematic to douchematic.

[schild]

Also, I hate the fact that Shockeye or Schild haven't renamed dusematic to douchematic.

I hate weak sauce.

[NiX]

I know you love me deep down inside.

[Hoax]

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  

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.

[Samwise]

I hate... lamp.

[Cheddar]

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 hate that you're reaching.

[Cheddar]

I hate that you're reaching.

I hate that you are correct.  I spent a long time attempting to think of things that bothered me.

I dislike the fact that I had to debase someone to post in this thread.

[voodoolily]

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.

[NiX]

I hate that people take this site so damn seriously.

I hate that Shockeye makes a horrible Cheetara

[Rasix]

Ok, I'll throw one hate in..

I hate... BINGLES.

[NiX]

WHAT!? BINGLES MOTHERFUCKER!

I hate that I stopped playing Bingles.

[Merusk]

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.
