Also, Till - to fix your sig you want [ url=LINK ] [ img ] PICTURE LINK [ /img ] [ /url ], just remove all the spaces. Wahoo! It works! Thanks Rascarin! I owe you pint if I managed to land in the UK somewhere. Anyways back to the subject: What do you mean number 83 Mister Buch? It's a channel or something I've never heard of since I live at the bottom of the world. Yeah, Tv personel tends to be a arrogant bastard/bitch, especially those people who came on Big brother D: Also here's my rant for the night: Painting. Don't get me wrong, I love painting especially seeing one's original character comes to life and nothing like bragging on DeviantArt after the hard work is done but... It takes to long to finish atm for me. Back then before Uni, I've only have a piece of paper, watercolour pencils, brush, pens pencils and an easer to get the whole job done. Because of that I can take the maximum of 3 concept arts a day completed back then. Nowdays with a graphics tablet, Photoshop and a decent computer, it took me like almost a week to complete one fricken painting so far. Either I've been more careful with my work in the late or my photoshop skills are kinda firmsy. Yes I'm impatient. I'm not used to the idea of painting one stuff for ages. Cannot be helped someone can actually do a decent speed painting for like an hour or so.

What do you mean number 83 Mister Buch? It's a channel or something I've never heard of since I live at the bottom of the world. That was just a bad joke from me - I meant to imply it was my 83rd complaint. I feel I may be abusing this thread by turning it into a sort of cathartic blog. I agree about the painting. Art is fun and wonderful, but too damn hard, fiddly and time-consuming. If you hurry, you mess up. If you mess up, it's all over. There is no delete button. This is why my small selection of equipment hasn't been used since October. Also canvas and paints and pens and ink and God knows what else are all too expensive. That was number 84.

My hate for the moment; programmes that come bundled with MOTHERFUCKING DRM. Those damn security things that stop you from just PLAYING THE DAMN GAME, because some shithead programme writer was too damn lazy to create anything that actually bloody WORKS, and you have to spend days and hours emailing producers for replacement product keys.
URGH. And yes, every swear-word was entirely necessary - I hate DRM that much.

Throwing a profanity word is not so bad, especially when it comes to jerkassery of DRM. I hate it too. OK speaking of games if there's one game I'm willing to see to kiss it's own ass goodbye before it got wiped from the face of the earth, it will be... World of Warcraft *shudder* I have really strong opinions about this game... a lot! Of all games I've play in my lifetime so far, I have the biggest love and hate relationship with this game (Not even Mass Effect come that close, too much love in that case.) On one hand it's like a walk along the beach while playing this game but on the oter hand that walk session is spoiled when some duchebag comes along and one-shotted you. And that's it? Oh no, it doesn't end there buddy. At best they camp over your corpse waiting for you to respawn you kill you again and at worse, they likely tea... oh sorry, this is a more mature forum where everyone speaks in a civil and culture manner, so let me repaised that... they are violating your corpse! And that's a small faction of the game community has to offer. As I've mention before, elitists. They enjoy gloating you and so-called lack of skills in the game/guild/whatever and also it made them think that they have the right to be a complete dick. Speaking of that, I seem to remember I see more dickheads in the game than decent, competent, socialble players in the game during my 3 years of playing that game. (Because of that I've tended to act a bitchface towards other players most of the time.) Also I hate the idea of turning a game into some sort of a fucking job. Everyone is forcing you shove commitment to the game down your throat especially raiding. If you're busy in life, then too bad, you're on the bottom of the list for raiding piroties. being absent for long enough due to your commitment in other pursue besides WoW. Well you're out of the guild buddy! For Fucks Sake! This is a game and games are meant to be fun not a bloody job! (For that reason alone, it made think back hard in the idea of fun and games since... well I'm a game designer student.) Also goddamn blizzard! They really enjoying messing players head... in a bad pissed off kinda of way, not the usual BioWare tease kind of thing. Oh no! Blizzard turn themselves into arrogant jerks by messing the balance of the gameplay way too much to the point it force shove players to play a certain gamestyle if they want get more out of the game not to be riduculed as a noob. While I'm on the subject of WoW, I hate the way the game r... uhh... I mean screwing up the lore and the story. I've used to like the Warcarft lore enough until this pile shit came out! Now the storyline for the Warcraft world is so terrible and bland to the point I've stop pitying the night elves, undead and orcs. Anyways that steam has gone off and bad bitchface WoW persona is out of the way. So yeah I played worse games before but none of them has a profound negative feelings and pissed off legacy as WoW. Thank god I've quit. I don't miss my character that much nowdays. If have forced to choose who will live and die dilema, like picking between Elaine Shepard and my main lvl 80 NE hunter, I'm sorry but I'm choosing Shepard to survive. Anyway, the rant is off.

Couldn't agree with you more about all of this. This is why I don't play online multiplayer games, right there. Whenever I've played before, it's been the same story. me and a large collection of young American (no offence Knight and Hodster, but you're all bastards) boys, all of whom are a LOT more skilled than me, all of whom have absolutely no tolerance for so-called 'casual gamers' and all of whom delight in the use of homophobic and racist insults. I once read someone describe XBox Live as 'an online homophobia club for teenage boys' and I think that fits very well! -- Also I agree that the swearing was necessary.

Don't forget sexist and autism insults and bad horrid jokes too. (I have a autism condition, so you can see why I have to be a complete bitch to everyone.) Seen them too many times in the WoW trade channel to the point I had to turn on the silence mode. Also that's part of my reason why I lothe everyone on my old server before I quit. The PvP servers is littered with the most horrid gamers you've ever meet and yes sadly as you said before Buch, they are mostly Americans who tarnished their image futher as incompitent jackasses. ( I am aware there are still saner americans left like Hodster and Knight.) Also another thing why I've tried to stay away from mmo is that no matter which guild I go to, there's always drama and politics in it. Nothing like logging into your game and seeing half the members arguing and bitching over a small purple ring. Would you f**king believe that?Anyways moral lesson learnt after wasting my 3 years into WoW? There's a fine line between a fun gaming session and chores. Both games and chores should not be together for sanity sakes. Anyways I gotta try and finish up that last bit for little wing, that story is long over due, damn uni and the stress. ruins the whole thing.

Let's not go crazy - Hodster is a perfectly nice fellow, but Knight is a loon. Today I'd like to add carpet tiles to the list. Why oh why did I get carpet tiles instead of real carpet? The things look dreadful now.

Ok I'll rant to but I warn you I am really good at ranting.
Well my number one hate is probably the people in the world that seem to live only to annoy as many people as they can. Oh but not just annoy they want to drive you to the edge of insanity and watch you rip your own face off before trying to kill them with a blunt spoon. The funny annoying people are fine, I like them, at least you can have a laugh with them but those damn vindictive crab hearted mucus infested rib rotten excuses for intelligent life really drive a nail into my big toe. I have often discussed with my sister and husband that we should send them all to Ibiza along with the strange pimped out ford escort driving techno bandits. I'll give those fordies one thing though... it is so funny to watch them try to wheel spin at a traffic light before their car dies on them. I hope they feel as embarrassed as I feel having to live on the same street as one of them. Equally as amusing is this one time my hubby and I were walking back from the library when a fordie came round the corner (actually I think he was driving a pimped volvo) blasting some techno garage music with that continuous thump thump thump thump sound, when a bass line suddenly kicked in and his whole car shuddered so violently from the extra bass units he was carrying around he couldn't drive in a straight line.
Ok hate number two... knuckle and other joint crackers. Dear god just don't do it! Please! It makes me feel sick like when people grind their teeth or scratch down a blackboard. It goes straight to the soul and makes me want to flip inside out. Don't these people know they are giving themselves arthritis!
Hate number tres has probably got to be over cooked vegetables. Veg does not need cooking in my opinion, unless it is poisonous before cooking, but if I am going to eat it cooked lightly steam please. Why and how do people manage to make these mutating puss splodges of de-coloured un-vitamined sludge? Thats what puts children off of their greens! It certainly put me off green things until I was fourteen and cooked for myself and suddenly discovered the taste sensation of raw and lightly steamed veg. Please I beg of the word do not kill your broccoli and spinach! Oh and Kale is so amazing!
Hate numero four is going to be litter bugs. The bin is right next to you douche bag put that crisp wrap in the BIN! I do not need to be slipping on that, or having it blow in my face, and then have to pick it out of my garden to put in my bin. Worst still I live in a house that shares a back garden with the next door house (warehouse conversion). The guys that live next door wind me up all day long by leaving their beer bottles, spliff ends, greggs sandwich wrappers and whatever poor inanimate object they have decided to tear apart with a knife today in amongst my vegatable patch. Seriously it is not too much to comprehend. Rubbish - bin = happy environment.
Talking about my neighborers they stole one of my mini greenhouse units the other day to try and grow cannabis in their house.... they finally gave it back when I told them the plants they had stolen along with it were in fact tomatoes. Easy mistake to make they have the same leaves as a cannabis plant. I will piss myself laughing if they ever try to smoke them.

I once read someone describe XBox Live as 'an online homophobia club for teenage boys' and I think that fits very well! Oh its not every member of xbox live. I'm on xbox live with my friends and family all the time and we are nice enough. None of that insult stuff and we will always give you a fair game. There is actually a big community of the friendly gamers but like everywhere there is always the 12 year old americans (sorry but even other american's agree that they are mostly trash talking spite infested morons) that just want to insult you all the time. Its always fun to kick their arses at a game though just to watch them go offline suddenly. Though, I will give those american hooters one thing... they are not as sexist as the out of work so called UK adults playing during the afternoons. Dear god thats some amazing trash talking not even using real words in the dictionary kind of abuse you get from them. Xbox live is all good as long as you meet some nice people, stick with them in your party groups and never allow the weirdo's to come through your headset. At least they will never be able to reach WoW standards of abuse.

It goes straight to the soul and makes me want to flip inside out. Don't these people know they are giving themselves arthritis! Hurrhurr, I'm awful for cracking my joints - I can do all my fingers, both wrists, elbows, knees and ankles, and all but two of my toes. I have to do it regularly, though, otherwise my joints start to ache and seize up. As for XBOX live, I only really play Guitar Hero or Rock Band online, and its kinda hard to speak when you're hammering out a bitch of a solo, so luckily for me I don't get much abuse from those damn pre-pubescent yankee teen pricks and their gushing homophobic slurs. Another thing I hate - people that come up to you in the high street and try to get you to give money to charity. IT'S MY DAMN MONEY, GET LOST, AND GET A REAL JOB.

Oh dear god I know how you feel about the Charity peeps. They constantly beeline for me and my hubby when we are in town. Its like we have a magnetic pull or something. I've been learning the 'no eye contact' rule. If you pretend like you didn't see them and keep walking I don't have to feel guilty about saying NO to a children's charity for the deaf, blind and slightly mutated. My hubby has been starting use get out lines the last few months because they go for him even if he does the no eye contact keep walking tact. He tends to say things like "I'm sorry but I'm on my way to a funeral." and "I have an appointment at the bank." That normally works well enough. I'm still very annoyed with a OXFAM worker who told me I was signing a petition for the government to abolish charities having to pay taxes or something. Turns out she signed me up for £20 a month debit. I got a call the next day from Oxfam asking for my bank details to complete the monthly debit... That kind of lying makes me so angry!

Ok I'm calm now. A little bit of painting therapy helps out. Here's another rant: Winter. Although over there in Britian it's colder than over here in Melbourne but doesn't change the fact I'm fearful for the season. It gives me cold feet all the time which is not good, and a tad painful. Oh and welcome Zarsthor! Come for the fiction and stay for the community We should make a welcome thread since we've been getting new comers lately

lol Thanks for the welcome but I have been secretly reading your fics on here for the last year.
Winter and summer aren't too bad. At least they know what they are. Autumn and Spring always seem to be trying to be both winter and summer at the same time. I just can't get used to the constant changing. Either be hot so I can turn on the air con or cold so I can turn on the heating.

I find that people working for good, real charities tend to be good people. And real. It annoys me that they come up to me in the damn street and try to guilt me into it, but their reasons are good. What I hate so much are the people doing the same thing, but for fake charities. I ask for the charity number, and they tell me their company number. And then I attack them. These guys, the ones who lie or infer that their profit-driven company is a good cause, I hate these guys. And when it comes to street pushers, it's these guys who are tricky and impolite. Of course I can't account for this Oxfam trick with my theory here.

Hey, welcome Zarsthor! I went to university in Preston!

While I'm on the subject of WoW, I hate the way the game r... uhh... I mean screwing up the lore and the story. I've used to like the Warcarft lore enough until this pile shit came out! Now the storyline for the Warcraft world is so terrible and bland to the point I've stop pitying the night elves, undead and orcs. OMG THIS MADE ME SO MAD!!!! (sorry for bringing up wow again but after reading this I have to rant) So that was one of the main things that I liked about Warcraft was the story. But they changed so much crap it pisses me off. I enjoyed Warcraft 3 more then WoW. Once the first expansion came out and completely remade the lore for the Draenei I was like DONE. Next I was on a PVP server so there where alot of dicks around. I'll admit I did raid some low level areas but I couldn't kill the low level people unless they attacked me. I didn't camp people but I got camped a few times and its like @$@#$%!#$%! And I think its funny but this just shows how big of a dick wow players can be. nowopassion.ytmnd.com/Till do you still play? Cause you lasted longer then me. When I got to level seventy it got boring cause I was a arms warrior and I didn't want to become a tank cause it's boring as shit, and battleground can only go so far. As for making the game as a job, thats probally one reason I stopped playing because I wanted to have fun and I don't feel like farming for like a billion hours to get a slightly better item. Also my WHOLE sophomore year of high school was filled with Wow and thats all my friends ever talked about. It got sooooooooo annoying. I did have good times on that game but I just couldn't commit to it as most players do. So I stopped when I was seventy. And now I hear about how warriors can duel wield 2handed weapons... lol wut? To finish this rant: fwow.ytmnd.com/
