This.



Oh yeah. Those things were a pain for me in the second mission. I learned a hard lesson that day: never go head on against one.

No!

Only go head on...

And then throw a plasma grenade and bank hard right.

 

[Smooth Criminal]

What Smoove said.

:I

Don't hold it against me, Lyth, but I was more outraged at the fact that Gates got banned again. He didn't say or do anything particularly inflammatory, and was in fact being pretty neutral in regards to Jobs' death in comparison to, say, Ryu.

That said, I'm not holding a damned vigil for the man. I'm also not going to sit here and chastise people for speaking out in "poor taste." It is what it is, y'know? A person dies. It sucks. You'll take what you will from their time on Earth, for better or worse, and move on.

In other words, it's a matter of individual worth. You can't force someone to care, and you can't force someone not to care.

It's sad that he died of cancer but people are treating him like the ****ing messiah when really he's just some ******* who made ****ty computers for traumatic brain injury patients.

Yeah, he definitely didn't say anything particularly inflammatory here. How is this not inflammatory?

The blueish-jet planethingamajig right?

Last time I tried that going against that, I died...alot. I'd rather fight them the cowardly way..and live.

 

[Luigitoilet]

People, a person DIED.

Dead. Deceased. No longer among us. Has that not hit home for any of you?

It doesn't matter if you like the product they made, sold, or hated the music they produced, or whomever it could have been. (That last bit isn't really applicable, I know)

A person. DIED.

Please show some respect.

500+ people just died while you typed that. Why aren't you waxing emotional over them?

 

[Vinylic.]

Okay, that is just a little immature of you, man.

Steve jobs died and we know what happened.
How are we supposed to know what happened to those 500+ people? How do we even know that they've passed away?

Are you trying to inform us that we only care about one celebrity dead and not care about what happened to the others?

 

[choknater]

we care because we know who he was, and he had a direct effect on the technology in our lives. i care, but you may choose whether or not you want to.

No, against a hunter, go head on.

Against a wraith, run like hell.

I'm not saying I don't care about the guy and his accomplishments. I'm saying it's annoying when people act self-righteous and get on their soapboxes about it. It's sad such a brilliant mind died at such a young age, yes, but that shouldn't stop people from discussing his celebrity and his life, and yes, even making a silly joke here and there. It's not like we're going up to his family and saying "lol Macs suck". There is no point in over-dramatizing it and getting frothingly defensive over someone you aren't even personally connected to and who will never be affected by anything we say in the first place. That's just how I see it. I realize that's different than many people's perspective but, whateva.

 

[Fuelbi]

Kinda reminds me about hen MJ died, except with not as many haters

 

[Thino]

This prolly because of the stupid PC vs Mac rivalry

 

[choknater]

oh, alright. yeah, that's fine LT, thanks for the clarification

Lol awww Bidoof never gets any love.

MJ was a boss for one, and for second had his fair share of hate DURING his life cycle.

With all of his music I've heard, it really made me sick while he was alive that people would accuse him of what they did and put him through all that. Because he was a focus of media attention constantly, people looked to find anything and everything wrong about him and misconstrue anything he did.

All that happened to him showed us TRUE human nature, imo. And that nature makes me reconsider the seeds I've eaten.

I'm just salty.

 

[Gates]

Enjoy your one day vacation.

My vacation was so awesome, you guys. F8AL paid to fly me down to Barbados. I spent all day on the beach and all night drinking in a tiki hut the hotel had before I flew out in the morning. It was really great, next time I'll try and get them to make my vacation longer.

No pics though, I lost my luggage that had my camera in it.

 

[Vinylic.]

If only I went to california.

Katy perry would've been at the beach with snoop dog.

Gates, are you planning to have more vacations soon?

[Terywj [태리]]

+1 for anagrams. Are they called anagrams? XD I don't remember the proper term.

 

[choknater]

yes anagrams

 

[Terywj [태리]]

What's the other term? When the word is spelled the same backwards and forwards? Paragram or palindrome, I think it was.

"A man, a plan, a canal, Panama."

 

[Gates]

Palindrome.

example: mom, dad, wow, etc.

 

[choknater]

i took a look at the world's longest palindrome once. so hilarious LOL

 

[Terywj [태리]]

Yeah palindrome, haha. Maaan English with all these fancy terms.

 

[Luigitoilet]

Good morning, Lythium! How are you this fine Saturday morning?

 

[Lythium]

Pretty good, thanks! How are you?

I'm watching Buffy, and doing laundry, and making fried rice for lunch. :3c

 

[fkacyan]

I remember those days, once upon a time, when I had the freedom to do whatever I wanted (

Spoiler

) on Saturdays.

Now I work. Curse you, work.
