Sweetest Day is NOT Just For Men

The whole meaning to Sweetest Day is really messed up for people. If you want to know what Sweetest Day is and who originated it, keep reading.

Sweetest Day

During America’s Great Depression, a man from Cleveland organized many people in an effort to provide a small token of friendship to the underprivileged, shut ins, orphans, and homeless. Today the holiday has expanded to include small tokens of appreciation to friends and neighbors too. These tokens of appreciation can be small gifts or small acts of kindness. This event is repeated on the third Saturday in October.

Some candy maker in my hometown is the creator of this day. Yet people take it where that this holiday was made for the men sense Valentines Day was for women. Well since people can’t seem to figure out what Valentines Day is:

Valentines Day

Valentine’s Day or Saint Valentine’s Day is a holiday celebrated on February 14 by many people throughout the world. In the English-speaking countries, it is the traditional day on which lovers express their love for each other by sending Valentine’s cards, presenting flowers, or offering confectionery.

Where does it say that is just for women? Everyday should be a day to express how much you love someone. Just like Christmas for you silly Christians should be everyday that you want to give, share and all that other lovey-dovey crap. I don’t know who put it in people’s head that women have their day and men have theirs when it comes to Valentines and Sweetest Day. That is just totally idiotic.

Since When Does, “I have Black friends so I’m not racist” Justify for Anything?

I have piles and piles of black friends. They come to my home, I marry them, they use my bathroom. I treat them just like everyone else.

I got that from here. My thing is this, why do people tend to pull that I’m not racist because I have black friends card so much? Having black friends doesn’t necessarily mean you aren’t racist. People can smile in someone face and hate them behind their back day in and day out. Yes I know there are people out there who aren’t racist I know this, but I’m not talking about them. I’m talking about the ones that feel they have to prove something to someone about who they befriend. For example my friend; from what I’m about to say you are going to wonder why I’m friends with him but so what. Well he’s racist, we’ve been friends for almost 6 years now; it’ll be 6 in November. He don’t like blacks but he’s my friend and I’m his. Is he truly my friend to my face and behind my back? Yes. I don’t think a guy like him would risk his life to save mines if he wasn’t a true friend, but that’s another blog on another day.

What I’m saying is, if you aren’t racist…you don’t have to say you’re friends with a bunch of people of said race. You don’t have anything to prove to those who say you are. It gets depressing to see so many people get offended and their scapegoat is that worn out, “I have black friends” card.

LAWL! The Left 4 Dead Boycotters Actually Think They Accomplished Something!

It has been a trying few months for a series of brave and levelheaded gamers who took it upon themselves to shun a highly anticipated title from one of the most revered developers in the industry, based on an in no way absurd sense of entitlement with regards to Left 4 Dead support. But as of October 21st, boycotters of Valve’s Left 4 Dead 2 will stop fighting the good fight, GamePolitics reports.

Given how reasonable the group’s arguments were for boycotting L4D2, it’s hardly surprising that in the disbandment announcement letter posted over at Steam, two of the group’s leaders (Agent of Chaos and Walking_Target) address their fellow boycotters with a tone that suggests some serious delusions of grandeur in terms of their effectiveness and relevance concerning Valve’s commitment to future L4D support. As Agent of Chaos explains:

“We have accomplished everything we can on our manifesto. We’ve been dealing with Valve ever since our group started, then we met them in-person and now we’re at the point of concluding our discussions. Our goal wasn’t to steer people away from L4D2, it was to get Valve’s attention and have them support original L4D. We succeeded and that’s where our mission ends; nothing more or less.”

There are several things worth noting about these statements. First off, take a look at the boycotters’ original demands:

* That Valve honor its commitment to release ongoing periodic content for Left 4 Dead.
* That Left 4 Dead 2 not be released as a stand-alone, full-priced sequel but as either a free update to Left 4 Dead or an expansion with full compatibility with basic Left 4 Dead owners.
* That Left 4 Dead owners be given discounts for Left 4 Dead 2, should it be released as premium content.

As you can see, the only one of these that will end up happening is the first one, and that was something Valve was planning to do all along; it hadn’t provided any details on the recently released Crash Course (or future DLC for that matter), because it wasn’t ready to discuss it. So for the boycotters to suggest that they had anything to do with Valve “deciding” to continue supporting L4D is utter nonsense, and claiming victory for it is even more so.

What’s interesting about the other two requests is that if you go to the group’s original manifesto announcement, those requests are no longer listed. The page says it was “updated 10.10.09 for relevance,” which I guess is code for, “Now that Valve has released a fresh batch of L4D DLC as well as info about its plans for future content (which it has been planning all along), and considering the company was gracious enough to invite us for a studio tour despite our insulting criticisms of Valve’s design approach for L4D2, let’s make it seem like we ‘won’ even though we clearly didn’t.”

The other funny part about the aforementioned quote is that the original manifesto clearly states, “Therefore, we – the members of this Left 4 Dead 2 Boycott – promise to abstain from the purchase of Left 4 Dead 2 until our requests are addressed.” Yet now, the group claims, “Our goal wasn’t to steer people away from L4D2, it was to get Valve’s attention and have them support original L4D.” Backtracking and delusion don’t really get any more hilarious than that…Oh, except they do, thanks to the following comments from Walking_Target:

“As a collective we have done more than achieve a few goals, we have paved the way for Developer-Community relations in the future. No matter what the press or other gamers say, we have made an indelible mark upon the future of this industry. You should all be proud, we certainly are.”

Left 4 Dead Boycott FAIL!

Those who pre-order the game (at participating retailers or via Steam) will obtain early access to the demo on October 27. The demo will then be made available to Xbox LIVE Gold members and all PC gamers on November 3. Then all Xbox LIVE members will obtain access to the demo on November 10.

Coming exclusively to Xbox 360 and PC, L4D2 promises to set a new benchmark for co-operative action games and become one of 2009′s marquee titles. Set for release on November 17, the title adds melee combat to enable deeper co-operative gameplay, with items such as a chainsaws, frying pans, axes, baseball bats, and more.

With the AI Director 2.0, L4D’s dynamic gameplay is taken to the next level by giving the Director the ability to procedurally change weather effects, world objects, and pathways in addition to tailoring the enemy population, effects, and sounds to match the players’ performance.

Men; Less is More

When you first meet a lady [if she is in fact a lady and not some whore], you don’t have to tell her your life story off the bat. Whose to say you’ll even see or talk to her tomorrow? That’s annoying and a big turn-off for most women. We don’t want to sit there and listen to how you got your colon cleansed or how your mother was two-bit crack whore. If you’re the type that’s really open like that, its best you talk to your best friend or family member about things like that. When you’re out with a lady friend and you just met her last week, try not to give her a reason to want to pull her hair out. I don’t think she cares at the moment on how long and thick your penis is. Nothing says “I would rather pull out my guts and  jump rope with my intestines than sit here and listen to you” more than someone bragging.

You can bore a chick to tears with your “achievements”. I honestly don’t think you banging 15 chicks in one week is considered an achievement, if anything you should be going to go get checked. If you feel you have to prove something to everyone you meet then you need to sit down and think of things you can prove to yourself. The occasional “I’ve done this, that and the other” is okay but a full blown self-absorbed monologue? NO!

If you have good qualities about yourself then they would come to light without you having to tell them.  Especially if the girl didn’t ask you to tell her your deepest darkest secrets. Allow both of you to be on the same level if possible, if she’s the upfront type and she wants to know your business then by all means, spill away if its comfortable for you. If not, try to shut your trap for a while. Or at least talk about the weather.

Just Because A Man Approachs You, It Doesn’t Always Mean He Wants You

I don’t know how many times I’ve been in the situation on and offline where men have to tell me that they’re not hitting on me or don’t want me or anything before they tell me what they really wanted. I have to tell them that if they did they would of said something by now so no need for them to think I’m like all the other women they approach. I’m well aware that there are men out there that are just looking for platonic relationships; nothing serious. I’m also well aware that there are men who don’t think of women as a piece of meat or some piece of eye candy for 5 minutes. I know there are men out there that chase after women non-stop just to have one-night stands or someone to know just long enough to have someone to go to the club with that Friday.

The point is ladies/ho’s/bitches/sluts/whores, if a man is approaching you, don’t get offended before the man opens his mouth. Don’t automatically think he wants you. No need to be nasty because you’re PMS‘ing. Its a shame that your head is so far up your ass you refuse to think outside of the box. For every person that find you attractive there is a possibility that there is 5 more people that find you unattractive. Its not “hatin’”, its called “preference”. Yea for most of you “women” no one can tell you shit because you know what you are and no one can tell you different. That’s good to have high self-esteem in yourself and all but just because YOU think every men is going to want you because he approached you on the fact that you think you’re the “baddest bitch” of said state/city doesn’t necessarily make it true. He could be approaching you to tell you that you got a lose track or food in between your teeth.

You’re making all of us look bad believe it or not. When men approach women and begin to talk, it always sound rehearsed and it usually is when they’re not interested in anything but being friends. I know that last part is hard to believe but there are straight men out there who only want to be friends with the opposite sex. No matter what the circumstances may be to why they are but just know that it is possible to be friends with the opposite sex. You just have to grow the hell up, get your mind out of the gutter and stop thinking with your twat. Men aren’t the only ones who fall prey to thinking with their genitals and not their brains. So as I wrap this up, no pun intended; I feel I have to repeat myself…

Just Because A Man Approachs You, It Doesn’t Always Mean He Wants You!

What NOT to Do When Playing Left 4 Dead 1 & 2

I’ve watched a lot of people playing Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 2 and they seem to make a lot of damn mistakes, n00b to advanced gamers alike. Some of the things I’ve seen would piss me off if I was playing with them.

  1. Running and shooting at a Jockey on one of the survivors back just to run up on him to melee him. I’ve seen this countless times, instead of shooting and missing because you can’t aim and you know you’re just going to go up to it and melee, just go up to it and melee the jockey instead of wasting bullets.
  2. Shooting at an already dead infected and special infected. You saw the infected or special infected go down for the count, why are you still shooting at it? Its not going to get back up. Waste those wonderful bullets on that hunter that has incapped your friend that’s mauling him/her right next to you.
  3. Splitting up because you want to find the Witch or chase down a Charger. I’ve seen this happen numerous times and it didn’t turn out well most of the time. They kill the Charger or Witch then try and high-tail it back with the other survivors just to get snatched by a Smoker or mauled by a Hunter. Now the other survivors have to come all the way back and save you. What happens then is the possibility of it being another horde because you the idiot who wanted to be Rambo was in that area for too long.
  4. Setting traps because you think its fun to make other gamers miserable. I just hope this never happens to me but I’ve seen other players open and close the safe door rapidly so the other survivors cannot get inside after that one idiotic player wanted to set off a car alarm and provoke a horde. I’ve seen people in versus push a garbage dumpster down the sewer opening so the survivors cannot get up the ladder. I’ve also seen in versus where gamers would push a generator in front of the elevator in the finale of No Mercy so when the elevator opens up and the survivors that want to evacuate the premises, they can’t. It might be fun and hilarious the first few times but leave that retarded bullshit with your friends that play the game, not random players that just want to play.
  5. Trying to help a survivor up knowing there’s a horde beating you half to death. People defeat the reason of helping someone up. I know you’re trying to help and all but just let me die or kill the horde, the smoker, the hunter, and the tank off first. You could have a full bar of health but you want to help me up while there’s a tank hot on your ass. Its call paying attention to the health bar if that person you’re trying to help up is that close to death when they’re incapped and a horde comes; kill the horde and see the outcome.
  6. Running ahead and leaving the other survivors because you’re impatient. This is not NASCAR, yes the finish line is the safe house but the point in the game is to survive. No I don’t mean stick around and wait for an ass kicking but if there’s someone trying to fight a horde off which in fact happens all of the time, don’t just say “screw this” and Speedy Gonzales your ass to the safe house. The other players will hate you forever. If you’re illiterate or dyslexic and you can’t understand “stick together to survive” then sucks for you.
  7. Looking for short cuts and glitches in the game just to end up dying anyway. First of all, looking for an easy way out in a game just means you’re an idiot and lazy. Look for easier ways to get out shit in real life, stop taking the fun out of the game because you think its cool to waste your time leaving the survivors because you found a glitch and or a short cut only you got down to a Science.
  8. Camping because you think its the right thing to do in this type of situation. People can still camp in Left 4 Dead 2 believe it or not. Others are killing zombies trying to live and here one person is off in the corner some where camping or hiding. You know he or she is not shooting anything because you can see the outline. He or she is  just waiting for it to be over. Then without warning [it never is one] a hunter incapacitates he or she and he can’t get immediate help because the others are still killing a horde or dying themselves. So now he or she is pissed and rage quits. Camping is only good in a group not solo. Even then camping isn’t good, camping is just waiting for a Chuck Norris type ass kicking to come your way.
  9. Using a health pack then taking another leaving other survivors vulnerable. There is one for everyone, no need to get greedy because 9 times out of 10 you’re going to wish you gave that guy who was on his last leg that health pack. Especially when the odds are against you; meaning two of the other survivors was killed and its only you and the guy you neglected to help. Remember, sharing is caring!
  10. Getting on the mic screaming at another player that they’re “n00bs“. Come on! If you want to play with gamers you like, find some friends or make some. People will cringe and get this feeling of wanting to falcon punch your ass when they see your gamertag or your steam name when you’re in a lobby waiting to play after a while. No one likes a dumb ass with a mic. I’m pretty sure those that’s always bitching about others being n00bs were once n00bs themselves.
  11. Seeing a tank then running all the way back to the beginning of the map. I don’t how many times I’ve seen this happen. They see a tank, then run all the way back to the safe house or a room with a door that they just so happened to find that a tank cannot open. What is the point? Just shoot the got damned thing! Oh if you haven’t noticed, throwing a Molotov Cocktail just pisses it off more and some has said that the tank moves faster once its on fire. I don’t know how much of that is true but its better than running away or into something worse.
  12. Replenishing ammo, shooting zombies then coming all the way back to get more ammo. I get sick of that, people be at times so far away from that pile of ammo the next pile would be right next to them but they go all the way back to get more ammo. If you aim right your bullets would be of good use and you wouldn’t have to worry about wasting them to the point you have low self-esteem about it.
  13. Healing someone during a crescendo. Who the hell waits til then to want to heal someone? Those few precious seconds between crescendo’s is when you’re supposed to do that. Not when there is a car being launched at your torso or when a hunter is playing finger paint with your insides.

Thank You Stupid Boycotters for Promoting Left 4 Dead 2

Photobucket

The best advertising to ever happen to Left 4 Dead 2 was the idiotic boycotters. The game got so much exposure that there are so many people pre-ordering the game just so they can get the demo that’s coming out October 27th. The boycott did more to sell this game than any amount of marketing could have. The $25M campaign is just icing on the cake. The boycott was stupid, and it backfired gloriously.

Oct 5, 2009 – Valve, creators of best-selling game franchises (such as Half-Life and Counter-Strike) and leading technologies (such as Steam and Source), today announced a $25 Mil consumer advertising plan for its upcoming action thriller, Left 4 Dead 2 (L4D2).

“Based on the strength of pre-orders, Left 4 Dead 2 will be the fastest-selling product in Valve’s history,” said Gabe Newell, president of Valve. “Left 4 Dead 2 has consistently run at 300% of Left 4 Dead’s numbers.”

Last year, Left 4 Dead was the top selling new property for both the Xbox 360 and PC. Sales were driven by strong word of mouth, top reviews, and a $10 million advertising campaign.

“We’ll be supporting Left 4 Dead 2′s launch with a $25 million campaign,” said Doug Lombardi, Valve’s vice-president of Marketing. “Left 4 Dead 2 has already set the record for greatest number of pre-orders in our company’s history, and we’re still over a month out from shipping.”

In the USA, the campaign will include Monday Night Football and UFC television broadcasts, roadside billboards, and popular lifestyle and gaming sites.

This year’s European plan is also more aggressive than last year’s, with television advertising in all the major markets appearing during sports and lifestyle programming, plus strong outdoor investments in more cities, as well as online and print advertising.

“Left 4 Dead 2 is expected to once again exceed everyone’s expectations and be an industry best title on PC and Xbox 360 for the year,” said David DeMartini, General Manager of EA Partners. “With Left 4 Dead and now Left 4 Dead 2, Valve has created one of today’s most compelling video game experiences and leading entertainment franchises.”

Coming exclusively to Xbox 360 and PC, L4D2 promises to set a new benchmark for co-operative action games and become one of 2009′s marquee titles. Set for release on November 17, the title adds melee combat to enable deeper co-operative gameplay, with items such as a chainsaws, frying pans, axes, baseball bats, and more.

Introducing the AI Director 2.0, L4D’s dynamic gameplay is taken to the next level by giving the Director the ability to procedurally change weather effects, world objects, and pathways in addition to tailoring the enemy population, effects, and sounds to match the players’ performance. The result is a unique game session custom fitted to provide a satisfying and uniquely challenging experience each time the game is played.

Finally, with new Survivors, boss zombies, weapons, and items, Left 4 Dead 2 offers a much larger game than the original, featuring more co-operative campaigns, more Versus campaigns, new Survival maps, and a brand new competitive mode all available at launch.

For more information, please visit www.l4d.com

I would like to say thank you to the boycott group, thank you for making sure I have millions of people to play with on release day. Without you, thousands upon thousands of people may not have ever known L4D2 was coming out this year.

Is Stupidity Becoming A Fashion?

Clark and Love from this blog here are perfect examples of what’s to come in the near future. People are getting more and more stupid whether its online or off. Its beginning to look like a trend or a fad that will never be out of style; like a pair of all white Nike Air-force Ones.

I was watching a full Episode of Steve Wilkos on Youtube and it was about this 34 year old man dating two minors and getting one pregnant, it was called ‘I have sex with teenage girls’. The man that these kids were in love with and wanted to be with was a total idiot. I can’t call the kids idiots because being a kid is enough of a reason. He had the mentality of a 17 year old naive boy that sits in front of a television and idolizes his “role-models” on BET. Speech impediment or not, he was in his right mind and he knew what he was saying. Well, here’s a part of the episode I was watching:

It was so hard to stop watching because his idiocy and naivety was amazing. His voice began to piss me off the moment he came out on stage. I just sat there and thought who the hell gave birth to this idiot and what do they look like? Then I looked at the girls that was so in love with this clown and was wondering what the hell did they see in him? This man is 34 years old and he’s messing with minors so its obvious everything isn’t all there. What a shame; and it saddens me that there are more like him walking this planet like being an idiot is what’s in this season. Anyway this isn’t just about his old ass chasing young tail, this is about the level of idiocy I’ve ran across in the past week. I’m completely baffled that there are so many people out there who enjoy being stupid. Can they be that naive that they cannot see that they’re stupid?

Well look at this:

Photobucket

Someone of a different race had called someone black a nigger and here come this idiot correcting him like it’ll make that much of a difference. Nigger and Nigga are the same thing in my book, no matter who remixes it to make it sound that much less of a slur. What baffles me is the fact that someone actually sat down and thought, “hey I can make something good out of the word nigger, lets just replace the ‘e’ and the ‘r’ with an ‘a‘”. Well whoever decided that it was “good” to remix a racial slur to benefit them are idiots. Why would anyone want to be a figment of a racial slur or want to use that word in their own way? What good has came out of both the words nigger and nigga? I’ll never understand the logic behind the idiot who thought nigga was better than nigger.
