Festivus '05 Airing of Grievances

[schild]

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.

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.

[SuperPopTart]

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.



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.

[Shockeye]

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.

[Signe]

But the weed... she maka me happy.  And it keeps me from worrying when PopTart or Haemish bogart the brain... now you know the REAL reason I sometimes post dribble... err... drivel.  DON'T BOGART THE BRAIN, YOU FUCKERS!  Pass it over, woncha?  Why won't they share?  Why?

[rattran]

I hate that again in another year that I've decided to post more, I've lurked more.

I hate the PC Gaming industry, and the half-baked games we got again this year.

I hate the half-baked mmogs.

[Cheddar]

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. 

[Velorath]

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

[Surlyboi]

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.

[Strazos]

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.

[schild]

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 that you don't understand writer's block.

Edit: I will have more information on timely game reviews very shortly - as in right before the new year.

[Llava]

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.

Oh, put me down for one of those, too.

I just forgot because I'm not in school anymore. But it carries over to other stuff.

[NiX]

I hate the fact that Schild makes a horrible Panthro

I hate the fact that Strazos makes a great Snarf.

I hate that we're just not Thundercats anymore :(

[schild]

I hate the fact that Schild makes a horrible Panthro

I hate the fact that Strazos makes a great Snarf.

I hate that we're just not Thundercats anymore :(

I hate that that's the funniest thing you've ever said and it's in a seasonal thread.

[Signe]

I hate that Surlyboi's post made me cry real tears and I hate that I want to give him a hug. 

Oh... and I hate his avatard.

I'm not thrilled that I only seem to hate spontaneously and have no deep seated hates going on that accumulate during the year.  I hate my short term memory and the fact that by the time I finish posting this I will have forgotten what it is I hate. 

[schild]

I hate that I was searching for an "evil christmas" avatar in GIS and Signe's avatar came up.

I hate that I couldn't predict that.

[squirrel]

I LOVE   to see that so many of you still harbour teh hate. Warms the cockles and all that.

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 hate that i need money.

I hate.

[Ironwood]

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.

[schild]

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.

Edit: I also hate that I have to wait for some of the ass nuggets on f13 to say something about me before I can come with something I hate. I'm far too nice. Must be my nature.

[Merusk]

I hate that any of you took my list seriously rather than a tongue-in-cheek ribbing.  Get over it, it's a fucking message board.

I hate that I forgot to mention Ironwood.  Damnit, how can I forget Zod?  Oh right, he's Scottish, they matter less than Canadians.

[schild]

I hate that any of you took my list seriously rather than a tongue-in-cheek ribbing.  Get over it, it's a fucking message board.

I have immense distaste for those of you that don't realize how much we have invested in this "fucking message board." And I'm not just talking about cash money.

Edit: And no, that isn't just targeted at you.

Oh, and I hate Arizona for not having any good smoker friendly 24 hour diners.

[Surlyboi]

I hate that my misery caused Signe to cry. No one should feel the way I feel right now.

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.

[Signe]

I hate schild's wallpaper.

[SuperPopTart]

I hate heh.

I hate woot.

I hate keke.

I hate Sir Bruce and his harming of tiny, fuzzy little animals and large, furry animals.

I hate that Fenom doesn't appreciate Festivus :(

I had to add to my hatred, more to come later I'm sure.

[Velorath]

I'm disappointed in everyone who had to come up with a response to a grievance about them, seemingly missing the point of the whole thing.

[schild]

I'm disappointed in everyone who had to come up with a response to a grievance about them, seemingly missing the point of the whole thing.

So am I.

[Sky]

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.

[Merusk]

Oh, and I hate Arizona for not having any good smoker friendly 24 hour diners.

Again, it's a joke and tongue-in-cheek.  Sorry if I touched you in a bad place. If I didn't have anything invested here myself I wouldn't have come up with any of the ribbings or be around you people every day for the last 6 years. Lighten up :p

After my last comment I was wondering how many times we could go back and forth, but then we'd just be hogging up this thread. Here, I have some wisdom for everyone - if it's between 5am-10am Phoenix time when I'm posting, assume my brain is regenerating in a vat of blood and has no time to be useful.

[Murgos]

I hate that a 16 oz bottle of water bottled in the coca-cola bottling plant costs more than a 2 liter bottle of coca-cola.

I hate that Americans are so confused that they sell some things in metric and some things in English measure.

I hate that I touch type but have no idea how to use the home keys.

I hate Signe because she is probably the most consistently clever person on this board.

I hate cheddar because he abandoned me in EQII, for that matter I hate all you fucks for starting the vast migratory heard that is bat country MMO gaming.  Pick a game, other than WoW, and stick with it!

I hate that I can't get a job doing VLSI circuit design without a masters in Electrical Engineering.

I hate that I use the handle Murgos on teh intardweb, but my real given name is Wolf and how fucking original would that be as a chat handle?  Not freaking at all that’s what.  Good luck getting that in a game.

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.

Along with Strazos I hate fat girls in Belly T's.  I thought women were supposed to care how they look? (Corollary, I truly enjoy an attractive tummy on display.)

I hate that I need to up my time in the gym from 6 hours a week to 10 hours a week to get to where I want to be physically, god damned post 30's metabolism.

I hate that the only things I like to watch on TV are WSOP, football and Nova.  I particularly hate sit-coms, reality TV and Cop Dramas for being the big lies bout life that they are and what they teach people to think, act and behave like.

[SuperPopTart]

Your real name is Wolf?

[Murgos]

Err, yes.

[Ironwood]

Shee-it, Negro, that's all you had to say.

[HaemishM]

I hate that the MMOG Medium is the crytallized, solid form of Disappointment Incarnate.

I hate that you fuckers won't stop calling MMOG's a genre instead of a medium.

I hate that Marshall McCluhan is revered by every wannabe information scholar in the world, and not a goddamn one of them, including me, can understand a fucking thing he says.

I hate that my childhood experiences with religion has hardened my heart to the acceptance of any organized religion, regardless of the spirituality of said religion.

I hate that the PC game industry is killing itself softly and slowly with stupid.

I hate that no American MMOG developer can figure out a way to make a profit for MMOG's that don't involve selling overpriced stupid services like name changes, allowing farming leeches to sell virtual items, or an overpriced subscription.

I hate that Lum and Raphy got publishing deals and I didn't. Yet. Bitches.

I hate that white people are foragers and black people are looters.

I hate that some of the places in New Orleans where I had fond memories are now giant aquariam toys for cholera bacteria.

I hate that our current administration is conducting a cultural war every bit as sinister as the Chinese Cultural Revolution.

[schild]

I hate that white people are foragers and black people are looters.

I hate that my people had to build pyramids and make years of terrible theatre to be considered foragers.

[Signe]

I didn't know geeky white boys from Maryland built pyramids!
