The punk taklking smack about EA should at least give evidence of the bullshit he spews. Don't feed me thatc rap that EA is so powerful they can keep everything secret. Not even the amerikan gov't can keep their secrets hidden forever.

Otherwise.. it's just a cool story, bro.

I used a nudemod in Sims 1 because I thought the pixelation was stupid.

They used pixelation instead of nudity or putting underwear on the characters? :retarded: God, that is apthetic. In such a case I'd use a nude mod too, despite how much I despise most nude mods.

Agreed. However a lot of that is the kind of stuff which is hard to have traditional evidence for. That is, verbally abusing low-level staff doesn't leave a body. Though it does bother me that someone's publicly posting about shushed settlements, instead of getting their hands on something and then blowing the whistle. While we're at it, let's have cops give meth-labs a two-week notice (difference being, meth is actually illegal.)

But you can always Google FIFA, or buy the Sims and its expansions (please don't) etc. Or talk to anyone who's ever worked a support line / call center job, or sought tech support to hear that they should reinstall / reformat and wait for it to break again, or had one of a million auto-billing fuck-ups happen to them at some point (though they're usually more inconvenient than deadly.) These aren't exactly uncommon or shocking practices these days.

A lot of it can be stopped, but while leaving a funny taste in your mouth: don't buy new games until you've heard that they don't up and break a year later; check your account daily to make sure it's not being emptied for no particular reason; don't buy iterative updates to replace your even more broken version, etc etc. "That's how it is," "gotta do what you gotta do," etc, and usually it's better than the alternative (or its endgame.)

But those who can do such things without having to swallow a puke-burp back down have, in blackwhite bliss, turned it into a point of pride that the world constantly tries to fuck them. Well, that's not even really it - the world isn't trying to fuck them: it just has a real big, clumsy, dick to the point it's going to knock drinks off the table and fuck someone merely by turning to the left. "For me, it was merely Tuesday."

I'm with you on most other points, but WTF? Do you regularly disbelieve secrets when they start to come out, because if they were secret they would have come out?

I had never heard of it until those guys conquered and took over the Escapist en masse. It's like a post-Roman decline: hordes of console kiddie barbarians storm in and take over a once proud gaming site, only to find that they then can't hold it against the even more barbaric but legionous hordes of Pony and anime fans storming over the flattened remains of the barricades.

This probably doesn't qualify for this thread, but...

Why is that? MLP:FiM is a fine serie with good characters and plots, a cute sense of humour and well-written dialogs. The main target audience may be kids but that doesn't change the serie's quality.

I can understand that, but I kinda prefer watching something else. It's just the online fanwanking is a little over the top. I can't help feeling I'm being trolled when someone gushes about the series in an online forum.

Kinda like how Bioware fans act around Dragon Age II. But when they insist the love is real and true...I just can't help but rage.

One would think that people who like to play games would be more tolerant of people who are into "kiddy stuff". Oh well.

http://internetsparaleigos.wordpress.co ... da-usenet/

Prehistoric times: Birth of usenet.

During the 70's, the Internet was previously intended for the use of the American army, with a few universities generally use for research. That would change in a few months when two students created the Usenet, originally created for the posting of news, but that was soon to become one of the first forums on the internet.

During those golden days of the 80's, college nerds could post about porn furry Chip & Dale, start flamewars on the continuity of transformers and exchange information about how their new Amiga computers such power machines that could store up to TWO megabytes of memory ! Wow!


REMEMBER REMEMBER THE ETERNAL SEPTEMBER

September was considered a bad month for usenet users because of how the new semester of classes begin, new students accessed the then-restricted internet and start posting in the forums, without knowledge of social rules and netiquette used by veterans. Beginners however, usually ended up being assimilated after a few days, leaving the "n00bice" turning aside and exemplary citizens.

In 1993 however, something happened. America Online, the largest server time, opened access to the usenet. What was once a restricted community in which proto-lulz formed and discussions at the level of romantic arcadia became a bubble of pure cancer when children and illiterate 13-year no custom that used a computer for the first time in his life came in the forums discussion as the Mongol hordes attacking the Chinese fields. A user has correctly predicted that the flow would be unmanageable and interminable.

The Internet would never be the same.
