CaptainPants has just been slained by Rapist.Im not kidding, theres a monster called Rapist in Diablo 2. Its in act 4. You know that dying is the last thing on the mind of a gamer. Death to us is like having to repark your car closer to the enterance of Best Buy on Black Friday. Its fucking annoying. Its kinda funny how death becomes just an inconvenience since theres no "real" consequence to you when it occurs. Sure you learn that you cant kill the monster, you just got owned by a guy, or it was REALLY stupid to run through a mob of Yetis before checking that you have enough mana. Fail. But in all seriousness, theres a correlation between this lost of consequences and that guy who shot his own computer with a real gun while playing tomb raider (nice job) or that guy who killed his friend for...uh ....stealing money from his character? This is where I might agree that video games have a negative impact on people, it teaches you to lose a sense of reality that THINGS DO GO OW. But then I'd have to argue that its just retards that dont realize this :p You can go on and debate that this only occurs to those who probably deserve it if they even BEGAN to think that their actions were reasonable. And Im not arguing that video games SHOULD have a negative result when you die, I sure as hell dont wanna feel my head being blown off. But you have to wonder...what the hell are people thinking when its okay to shoot someone just because they do it in a videogame. posted by GOTOMonster @ 11:01 PM 0 Comments On Tuesday, October 27, 2009 at 11:01 PM
Move those wimpy caster legs of yours!
Theres an issue in mmorpgs, that some encourage racism (or factionism to be specific, factions are simply explained as good versus evil kind of shit). So, obviously you got people hatin on each other, calling the other race fags or noobs. You got like, WarHammer where Destruction is a bunch of power hungery 13 yr olds and Order is a bunch of pansies. Same goes for World of Warcraft (with a similar sense that the "light" side is referred to a bunch of pansies and etc). It goes on. But what I find funny is that stereotypes extend as far as what class you play. And when I say stereotypes I mean you can judge a person by what they play. Mages are a bunch of intellectual, stuck up, wimps, warriors are all brawn and no brains, hunters/archers are chickens who specialize in running away, and rogues are just jack asses. So on. WTH? I particularly take offense to the Hunter comment, dont hate just because I can snipe your sorry little ass before you get even 30 feet on me. But yah, Ive seen dark elves in warhammer to be classified as antisocial emos (thats kind of redundant to say) and a lot of Asses of Destruction come from specifically the witch elf class of the Dark elves. Apparently, they tend to be played by 30 yr old insecure women who think they're so hot that they can be bitches. Sadly I tend to agree, and at the same time I cant say Im innocent seeing I have had moments of bitchyness while on my witch elf..who was named Skank.... But its just interesting that certain types of people will play certain classes, based on their personalities. For me, I like the archer/hunter type because I like the fight to be ALL THE FUCK OVER THERE while Im over here snipping off punks. Which says a little about my personality, because I dont like the focus where I am. Im more of a person who likes to work behind the scenes (so to speak) I guess you could call that cowardly, but you know what. Tell me that when you get an arrow up your ass. posted by GOTOMonster @ 6:08 PM 0 Comments On Sunday, October 18, 2009 at 6:08 PM

Personal Update aka complete waste of a post
I shame myself on so many levels. Recently, Ive been brought back into starcraft. Even though I still suck..it saddens me. In addition, Ive been introduced to Yu Gi Oh. YAH BITCH THATS RIGHT. I SAID YU GI OH Watchu gonna do bout it?! huh? HUH...thats right NOTHING. Sorry..got carried away. But yah. One redeeming thing is, Ive been learning to skateboard.. posted by GOTOMonster @ 12:06 AM 0 Comments at 12:06 AM
We are what we ate....that makes me a cup of instant macaroni
I noticed that, in every single game that I've played, THAT had other races besides humans, I would NEVERRRRR play a human. Personally, I think they're the suckiest race and often actually are the worst race to play. Its kind of odd that it works out like that since being human would probably encourage you to be your own damn race, right? My own argument for not playing humans is pretty much that I play a video game to escape from the drones of daily life brain rapes. I want to do something else, be something else, achieve something else, anything besides sitting in my god damn chair all day letting my ass multiply in size as it starts to mold itself to my seat... I want to be something else that ISNT me, that ISNT human. If I wanted to be human then I'd get up out of my seat, walk outside and get hit by a car (okay that had no correlation to being human, but whatever). I mean, comon, would you rather be a cool, blue colored, space goat, or a creepy,elf child, like monstrosity, or plain bob over there? This could very well just be me, but I believe video games are a chance to do something you can never do in your pitiful droning life, so why waste the chance just being something you already are (maybe I just have some kind of hidden hate for the human race, ooo alteration). Ofcourse, I've heard arguments otherwise. People want the experience to be more "real" that they wanna feel like its THEM doing the things and not some character they control........*coughgeekcough, excuse me. Hey if that's what tickles your pickle then I suppose I cant say shit...besides saying thats complete shit (OKAY Im kidding, people are more than welcome to their own opinion). But like I said, I dont see why I need my gaming experience to be real. If I wanted a real experience I think I would actually go...outside, you know OUTSIDE? With the sky and the dirt and the sun and something we like to call FRESH AIR? Sure you could say, this is a way for people to do something that they cant really do. I mean thats where the idea of the Wii games (which btw are hard as hell, Wii Boxing should be renamed to Wii Flailing of the Arms). But then thats why you go buy the Wii. You dont sit down for several grilling hours on World of Warcraft or Warhammer. Again, this is probably just me. And yah, I know there are games where you can only play as humans. And yes, I do play those too. I suppose this would contract myself in many ways. All I can say is.....those characters were just too damn cute..how could you NOT want to play a big eyed blue haired anime boy?! P.S. This post kind of went in a different direction than I intended..therefore the title probably makes no sense. Hooray for random! posted by GOTOMonster @ 11:31 PM 0 Comments On Thursday, October 15, 2009 at 11:31 PM
Hardcore never enough
As we all know, probably 90% of the gaming community is ruled by Asians. An even sadder fact is that probably 89% of those Asians, consists of "hardcore gamers". Yup. I'm talkin about those twats that, if you so much were to pick your nose at the wrong time, would go off on you like a Jehovah's witness. Every person whose ventured into the gaming world, know of the players some call "pros" (often mistaken for hardcore gamers) and we have respect for those who truly can master the art of gaming. But then there are those, who (pro or not)are labeled as hardcore gamers, take things a little too seriously. These people have this strange concept, while playing, that the more you yell at others, the better they will become. That everyone is just as serious into the game as they are. And that other people do not have lives..like them. But no. This is wrong. In the end it results in the typical situation (which I would like point to the game Warhammer) where you have one guy on Region chat, yelling at the rest of the realm saying they're all noobs and fail just because no one listened to him. They say addiction tends to be the main belief as to why hardcore gamers are spawning like daisies, other possibilities would be perfectionism, the need for control, or the lack of control players have in their real lives. And of course, there is the famous conclusion that these hardcore twats are just losers who get beaten up in real life and feel like they can regain their lost power by controlling people ingame. My personal favorite is "who cares why they're retarded, they just need to stfu". You'd be surprise how much of our real lives effect who we are online. P.S. Please don't take gaming to this level of seriousness.. A game is ...well a game, its for fun. posted by GOTOMonster @ 1:06 PM 0 Comments On Friday, October 9, 2009 at 1:06 PM
Lordy Lore
How many people actually pay attention when a npc is spamming you 5 pages of text before you can start your quest? I dont. Nah I just click through going, 'blah blah blah okay what do I have to kill?' So apparently this is kind of an issue in mmorpgs now days. How many people pay attention to the lore, or the background story of the game? Every mmorpg you come across will have a nice fairy tale story, be it that youre so far deep in war that you cant even smell your own crap, or that life is just overrun by furry little bunnies and someone needs saving, but with the heavy competition between players, who the hell is gonna care about why they just murdered a whole clan of centaurs. Players now a days seem to focus more on the end game and fighting other players that theres no time to bother with the story. Or some people just dont care at all (I pledge guilty). However there are several players that still get WAY into the lore and care about the storyline of the game, using that to enhance their game play experience. Ironically, though, those players are often seen as geeks or losers for getting too into the game. So how important is the lore of the game? Several games manage with out much lore, and others thrive cuz of the stories. Some people choose mmorpgs based off of the theme and some just play whatever their friends play. posted by GOTOMonster @ 12:07 AM 0 Comments On Friday, October 2, 2009 at 12:07 AM
