Bringing forth another Open Thread

I went to work on my video project for Halloween and decided meh, too tired… So I decided to boot back to the Fedora side and test out some games. I tried to play Painkiller Hell and Damnation but didn’t get very far due to the program freezing the entire system. So I ended up playing psychonauts instead which ran smoothly.

I also recorded some stuff from a mumble discussion tonight. Sometime in the near future I’ll publicize a horrible fanfic reading. Each chapter will be it’s own episode. I’m thinking of hosting it on this blog and on my youtube channel. The fanfic is called “It’s My Life!” and it’s a Portal 2 fanfic that rivals My Immortal (although we pretty much agreed that it’s better than My Immortal or hell, even The Room!) and it’s full of all kinds of confusing details, grammar and well… I’ll save it for release.

Oh, and to wrap things up I got a smoothie, kicked back and went to town countertrolling some insufferable prick in one of the chats I’m a mod of. I’ve put it on my forum for those who are interested in reading it. Lets just say he was too easy…

Barilla only likes straight noodles.

There’s a boycott of Barilla noodles going on right now because the CEO of Barilla has declared they would not have a gay family in any of their ads for the following reasons:

“I would never do (a commercial) with a homosexual family, not for lack of respect but because we don’t agree with them. Ours is a classic family where the woman plays a fundamental role,” Barilla, 55, said in an interview with Radio 24 on Wednesday.

That’s right dudes. Your noodles are not worthy of touching the epicness that is a Barilla product. I’ve purchased their pasta shells and spaghetti noodles for a good number of years now. I’m not gay or transgender or anything, but that doesn’t mean that I will be the average mindless consumer and purchase something that supports this lame fuckass.

Better watch what you say. Sony sure is.

If you play any Sony online games then you might want to stop being an asshole on your twitter, because it could come back to haunt you.

“Not only will we ban your forum account, but if it’s serious enough we’ll call up customer service and have you banned from all of our games. We do not need those individuals as customers,” Carlson says of the most offensive and anti-social players. “A very influential player, high up in a huge guild – we’ll still ban them… In our games, if you are an exploiter we don’t care who you are, how big your guild is, how many people you threaten to take with you when you go.

“We can control anybody who’s playing our games…[but] if we know who you are and you’re abusing somebody on Twitter, we will ban your game account and we will not accept you as a customer ever again. It’s not always possible to identify people [in that way], but we take that seriously.”

I say this is a good idea. There are a lot of people out there online that think they can spew any bile they want about someone or certain groups of people (racism, sexism, whatever) and think they can get away with it. You can’t do this in real life, so why should you be able to do this online? I mean for example, if you go into a grocery store and start harassing customers or employees guess what? You’re going to get thrown out no questions asked. If you start talking smack about a certain company and someone from that company happens to hear you guess what? He/She has the right to refuse service! Welcome to the world of business.

As it is businesses keep tabs (if they can find you) on your facebook/twitter feeds anyway. Do one wrong thing on them and you’ll be out of a job (or if you’re stupid enough end up in jail). This really is no different at all.

Don’t go around saying that they’re stomping on your freedom of speech. You have every right to say whatever you want no matter how ridiculously stupid it is, just like companies (like Sony in this case) have every right to kick you out for being a douchecanoe.

Talk about being scarred for life. Man brands his initals on a womans vagina.

I know some guys think women are no better than cattle, but this is just fucking repugnant.

CHANDLER, Ariz. — A Chandler man was arrested for a bizarre crime — police say he branded his initials onto his girlfriend.

I hope his dick gets stuck to a fucking skillet.

Another day where I lose faith in humanity.

I was hanging some jeans tonight when I heard chatter between two girls with valley girl accents (cringe) and a baby shopping in the plus sized section. One of them said something that well… caught me off guard. She said “I want to try all these things on. But I have this stupid baby”. An alarm bell rang in my head and all I could hear was… WHAT? I had to see if this was a teenager. No, it was a mother… I hope that “stupid baby” grows up to tell their stupid bitch mom about how much of a winner she actually is.

It never ceases to amaze me how heartless people can be to each other, in some cases even their own family. I see parents all the time that let their kids run rampant so they can have a break. Or they ignore their child completely when it wants something, like going to the bathroom as an example. The most common response I hear is “Well hold it” and sometimes they can’t. Then the parents will either complain, act totally surprised, or walk away like it never happened. Why did this happen? Because shopping is waaay more important. Because you know, consumerism is everything in life. Possessions before people. That’s why every holiday just about has a giant sale, and why most jobs over here involve selling goods instead of making them.

The only values people seem to pay attention to are the ones on their dollars… and they can barely get that right.

I’m fucking livid.

Remember awhile back when I showed off my hair? Apparently I have to remove it because the new asshole boss of the store thinks that it’s completely blue and not streaks.

Waaaaay to blue apparently.
Waaaaay too blue apparently.

How in the flying fuck are these not streaks?!?!?!?!?!? The entire reason why I have been doing this is because STREAKS ARE ALLOWED… well, I guess he gets to redefine what streaks are. It would have to be a bald fucking asshole complaining. So now I’m going to have to figure out how much I need to recolor, if all of it.

What scares me is that if I get it redone it could damage the hair, causing it to break or fall out. But if I don’t I could face losing my job over it. I bought a close matching dye to my natural color, but since I don’t have time to do it tonight I may just go back and exchange it for black… Make a fucking statement. Or maybe just cut it all off to prevent it from becoming weak. Not sure how well that will go over though.

Man, I haven’t been this pissed in awhile. I wanted to fucking club someone in the fucking shins. I can’t even see straight right now.

Dead Island’s bust is a bust.

So, who would like to own their very own ripped apart female torso wearing a bikini of the British flag?

Needless to say I’m not surprised. It’s disturbing without a doubt, but to each their own. My only question is why no male zombified torso? I mean you know… Equality and all.

Oh, there’s also this interesting find.

Last night on the Steam forums, a Dead Island player revealed that he’d discovered a shockingly offensive skill name when digging through the game’s code.

The ability, titled “FeministWh*rePurna” was discovered uncensored in the Data0.pakDatadefault_player_setup.scr file. It is believed to have been an early name for the Gender Wars skill, which gives female character Purna extra damage against male opponents.

Oddly enough, Dead Island was one of the titles I got during the last Steam sale. I haven’t gotten around to playing it yet. But might have to play as that character specifically. :P

Oh how one bit of code can make a difference. :lol:

Women don’t get harrassed online.

Found an interesting read tonight. I have no doubt this is done quite a bit. Putting together tutorials on how to target girl gamers in particular.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=-veY0LQ1QcU

He released an “apology” video.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6kb3aNcktHI

In the video he makes it clear he’s not very happy with Kotaku, and as punishment for poking at his fun he is going to go out of his way to torture more girl gamers. Because I guess that’s what manly men do? Boys will be boys and that sort of thing, right? Nothing like being a tough guy in mum’s basement.

I wonder if he plays any other games, or if he’s strictly into that game only. Would be fun if I met up with him. I’d clearly bring FRAPS for one of my own “tutorials”. 😉 But then I don’t know if he’d pick a fight with me. Since he has based his selections on the amount of cleavage he finds, and the closest I can get to cleavage is this:

They are nice melons, though.

Miniskirts = Rapebait

Today’s dose of stupid is brought to you by this article at manboobz.

Yes, they actually banned miniskirts due to them being “rape provoking”.

Anyways, if you wear a miniskirt you’re obviously a slut. Why else would they exist? Hell even children wear miniskirts these days! Might as well sell T-Shirts for little girls with “Sperm Dumpster” on them!

Here’s a thought. Since men don’t need women but women need men, and the female form is completely at fault and not some guy with a lack of self control, lets eliminate all women entirely until there is no scary vagina looking substance that remains. Then they can celebrate being the one true better gender and kindly enjoy their eternal sausage-fest like the faggots they are. Or make a rule that forces women to wear a burqa indoors and outdoors at all times to prevent rape. The less they reveal the less likely they’ll be turned on.

Want some of Glenn Beck’s special jarate?

Glenn Beck, infamously being known as yet another crazy radio show host and has been on both CNN and Fox News is trying to get back into media. How you may ask?

So he pisses in a jar, sticks an Obama figurine in there, and calls it art. Honestly I think the sniper should sue. Or at least Jarate him with his own piss jars.
