Rant!

[Kaltxì Palulukan!]

I'm still trying to wrap my head around my first fic. I have a plot line and an outline but typing it up is another thing altogether. Stuff keeps happening in RL to keep me from writing how I want it to be.

@Lehrrap Uniltìranyu: Don't hurt me for grammar. I'm trying.

Anyone shoves you (harasses you in ANY way)--you come to me. But if you think they are actually TRYING to "help" and not just being jack-asses, then don't bother me--I'm eating (someone).

[bagget00]

was just making a joke was all. no one has attacked me about my story yet.

You know what really Grinds my Gears?

Campers. Not Outdoors Camping, 'Campers'. Like in Multiplayer games.

For f***ing SERIOUS people! Stop it with the Camping! I can understand picking out a good spot to snipe from (I do it too) but at least move the frick around!

It's not even the campers that bother me, it's the SPAWN CAMPERS that really piss me off! No offence guys, but it's not cool, it's not 'funny' and it's not fun for the other players. I understand that sometimes thats just how it is when you spawn but for f***ing real? Forcing people into a position they can't fight back from just to boost your K/D Ratio isn't cool, nor does it make you a badass.

As someone who has gone 30 and 0 by running around with a M16 and a SPAZ-12, let me tell you, if you can do THAT, then you're a badass. Otherwise? Not impressed. (Side note: People freaking out because they think you have a nuke is freaking HILARIOUS.)

Hey, I wrote a guide to sniping. Want me to post that stuff, so they know what's what?

I have nothing against new writers bagget. It wasn't aimed at anyone in particular... minus the Twili-fanfic writers. They can all burn in hell.

Alright, I'll send you a PM or something Palulukan.

Okay--campers SUCK! but spawn campers suck (bad sucky things) and should be physically flogged and banned from ever playing video games--everr!

I'll have to put my hand up and say I have been accused of spawn camping on several occasions.

However, spending almost the whole game sprinting with an mp5 seems hardly 'camping'. Especially when you get Nomad at the end of the match. Running laps just puts me in useful places.

That's part of what I'm saying.
When I think 'spawn camper' I think a team of mother #@$@ing boosters pinning down your team in one area and camping you to death because you can't @#$@ing spawn anywhere else.

It's going to happen in FFA or Team Deathmatch that you'll spawn somewhere odd more then once, and someone will noticed and get you right after you spawn if they are just running around.

It's the first type that bother the hell out of me.

What are your feelings on spawnkilling? I've been known to sprint to the other end of the map with a shotgun or lmg, kill 10-15 people and die, only to respawn in my own base. After all, it's inevitable that some of those kills are people that just respawned.

Well, that's what I was saying in my last post.

Spawnkilling will happen, that's just how it is. But spawn CAMPING is wrong.

Hokay ^^
Also: sniper thread is up, if you're interested.

[Niwantaw]

nothing wrong with M16s
but campers should be hanged
(or blown up like some old games do)

[Rolyu]

Hahaha.  I've gotten accused of overly spawn killing and hacking, because I run laps, but I mostly chuck grenades and stab people, whipping out a small machine gun when it gets crowded.  I love running up to people, dodging their bullets, then stabbing them.  They git so mad.

But what drives me the most crazy is Lag, actually, cause my tactic relies on the fact that I have an expensive gaming wireless modem thats supposed to give me the edge on people.  (I play Steam.)  But when my level 80 warlock and paladin parents upstairs go on a big guild raid, my latency sucks.

That makes me mad.

I missed my last chance to see Avatar in IMAX for my first time  . Now I have to deal with the horrible RealD DLP cinemas.

[bagget00]

I have never gotten to see avatar in IMAX and probably never will again. That sucks.

and . . .

I have never gotten to see avatar in IMAX and probably never will again. That sucks.

Please allow me to relate my "first time ever" experience seeing Avatar in IMAX.

IT SUCKED!

I have been to, what I now know are called "Dome" IMAXs. Those are the ones where you feel like you are inside a snowball (or snow globe), and the seats are so slanted that you if you stand up (and then fall over), you will fall down 18 rows before you can stop yourself. they are designed so that you feel as if you are surrounded by screen. Every movie I have seen at these is usually some crappy independent movie, and I have only been to "dome IMAXs" at museums.

Example one: Boring "Giant!" IMAX screen of suckiness:



Example two: "Planetarium style" IMAX screen of most holy amazingness (that Avatar will probably never be shown on to the general public)



Then there is the "IMAX" I went to. Ooh! San Diego, right? 7th largest city in the country, or something like that. Edwards 26--yes TWENTY SIX theaters--and a "huge" IMAX sign. Well the show was almost completely sold out (yaay) and this was last week, not th day after xmas, or anything like that. The 3-D was HORRIBLE, and the screen was "larger" and curved, but listen buddy: "I am from L.A." (that is usually meant to mean "I am more Hollywood than thou," but in this case it means "I have been there, done it, and starred in the made-for-TV-movie.")

I have seen curved screens before. BIG ones. They are called "Torus" screens, and they can get a little annoying due to their tendency to distort the very top and bottom of some, if not all films. But when I thought "Hey! I am blowing an EXTRA 5 bucks to see this in IMAX," idiot me thought I was getting a golden ticket into the snow globe (see above). When I saw the screen was not that much larger than the ones I had already seen the movie in--and when you sit back far enough it hardly matters--I felt ripped off.

So please don't (anyone) feel left out. If Avatar ever comes to the snow globe, you can bet the rent that my happy ass will be camped out longer than those clowns at the original camp out: "The Line" (Star Wars 3--a week at the Chinese Theater in Hollywood--the first time America had ever seen such a thing--the first 75 people got special buttons from G. Lucas). But in the mean time, if you can see Avatar in "real 3-D" on a huge screen, and you have A: a good seat, B: a semi-intelligent audience (I know that is a lot to ask), and B; C:(sorry), don't have to pee in the middle of the movie, then you have witnessed Avatar in its true form.

But rumor has it that it may come out AFTER Iron Man 2 and other movies have shot their load. I would guess August. Does anyone remember last summer? G.I. Joe? Really? That was all they had left for us in September? Everything came out at once and fought for the same few weeks, and then they left us with G.I. Joe. Hollywood sucks!

Team Rocket!* Cameron!

Where is the dome?

@ Kaltxì Palulukan
     Thanks for that, I feel better  . I still have more time to see it in RealD 3D, which is truly amazing. It's like 20(Blu-Ray+HD+Standard 3D)=RealD. I always thought IMAX was better than them all, but now I know the the dome is better, not the regular screen. Thanks

My grandmother died on Thursday last week, around noon, and you know what? It sucks, but I was ready for it.

She was getting up there in the years, she was on lifesupport, and she had lung cancer. She was going to die, I had accepted this fact, and moved on.

And yet, people keep telling me, "I'm Sorry" when they hear about it? Why?

Why are you sorry that my Grandmother died at a ripe old age with Lung Cancer?!? Was it your fault?

I'm not telling you this so that you can tell me your sorry from something that isn't your fault, I'm telling you it so that you understand why I was absent from class/unavailable to talk/gone for three days!

It pisses me off! I don't want apologies, I want a confermation of why I was gone!

And on that note: Funerals. I hate funerals. I hate what they stand for, I hate the caskets, I hate the long ceremonies. I hate funerals. How can something with 'Fun' in it be so angsty?!?

Instead of funerals, I propose the IRISH funeral. Gather up your relitives and close friends, and drink to the memory and life of the person who die. The acual burial or burning of the body will be done in a small, private ceremony that only the closest family may attent, with a very short speech and religiues words spoken over the ashes/grave.

Then, back to the pub to celebrate the life of the person that died.

I've gone to too many funerals in my life: For a close friend, for great-grandparents, for a grandparent, for friends of my family... I hate them, with a burning passion.

And that is what Grinds my Gears.

I think you're absolutely, completely right.

Don't mourn the loss, celebrate the life they did have. Mourn in your own time, don't bring others along to suffer with you. Funerals are too... fake... for me. Something about it usually feels dishonest.
