Rant about stupidity on gaming forums

I posted this on someone’s LJ in a comment, but then thought it might be more widely entertaining and thus worth sharing:

* * *

Heh, usually when I hear anything about gaming forums lately it is awful.

Some examples:

  • Boo hoo, Game X is too easy. It should be impossible for me to win except via dumb luck!

  • Boo hoo, Game X is too hard. Because I’m not having any dumb luck right now!

  • Boo hoo, Game X is too hard ON HARD MODE. Because I can’t play it on an easier mode since that would make my dick feel smaller.

  • Boo hoo, Game X has some characters in it who are gay, and if I make the wrong dialogue choice I might end up as one, OH NOES.

  • Boo hoo, Game X’s plot didn’t end the way I thought it should have. Clearly this merits threatening the developers instead of MOVING THE FUCK ON WITH LIFE.

  • Boo hoo, Game X’s character design system won’t let me make a wizard with a sword. Never mind that that combination will only result in my getting my ass kicked. And never mind that I am deluding myself re: how original I am for… ripping off Gandalf.

  • Boo hoo, Game X is too short. BTW I am playing the beta.

  • Boo hoo, Game X has terrible controls, but I’m still going to give it a 9/10 in my review and then wonder why subsequent games that get made also have terrible controls.

  • Boo hoo, Game X is too hard at the end. Game X is also a role play game. So basically what I am saying is that I deserve access to everything in the game without having to level-grind, because I’m an entitled little shit.

  • Boo hoo, how dare the developers of Game X not implement my ideas, since I am clearly the most important person who plays the game and ME ME ME ME ME.


Based on all of the above - which I have pieced together from real rants I have heard in the last few weeks, mostly re: Diablo 3 - I think both my brother and Z are just as happy if gaming forums all die. :P

Outside of Prague, in the Czech Republic, is a small Roman Catholic Church that looks normal on the outside but holds 40,000 to 70,000 skeletons on the inside. Officially called the Sedlec Ossuary, it is often just referred to as Bone Church. Around 1400, thousands of skeletons were dug up so that the church could be built in the middle of the cemetery. The lower chapel was to be an ossuary for the mass graves unearthed during construction. Around 1870, a wood carver was commissioned to make order from all the bones. The dead were arranged in macabre art to form four bell towers, a huge bone chandelier that contains at least one of every bone in the human body, garlands of skulls draping the vault, bones around the altar, a large Schwarzenberg coat-of-arms, the signature of the artist Rint, and many more bizarre artworks. The chapel, and underneath the church and cemetery, are all decorated with bones. People who died in war or a gruesome death which marred the bones were not used too much for decoration. Instead, those skeletal remains are locked away behind gates or form bone tunnels.

I’ve been here! It was METAL AS SHIT.
