This bullshitry has to STOP.  There are a lot more of these stuff, but I’ve erased them from my mind a few seconds  after seeing them  (I don’t like junk stored in my brain), so I can’t show more than what’s here.

Why do I find this stupid, you ask? Check here. Also, I really just don’t give a shit. Share or no share, I’m on the good side of things.

I’m not saying we’re not all the same, nor am I agreeing that we all are. All I’m saying is, be fucking logical. Why do you say so? Have you dated everyone? If so, and if your collected data says we’re all the same, then go ahead and share to the entire world your exciting discovery and eventually rid the Earth of humans. If not, then SHUT THE FUCK UP.

All I have to say is this – You’ve dated an asshole. 1 in a fucking billion. How the hell is 1 stupid fuck a representative of the entire male population? Even if you gather forces with other girls and say all of you had assholes as boyfriends and shit, who says you are the only females in the world?

Why? What if I’m someone who doesn’t believe in both and I chose to ignore it? Does that mean I love something that I don’t even believe in? What if I’m a super religious guy and I’m on my way to sharing it, but couldn’t because of technical issues? Does that mean I love the devil instead of God? What if I believe in them both and I chose to ignore it? Does that mean I love the devil?

Share this photo if you are naive. If you did not share this photo you are wise.

Seriously, why?

I hope people who do this shit can come up with an explanation as to why these are important and have to be followed.

Oh wait. They can’t, because these things are pointless and senseless.

Here are two events that made me laugh and then sigh:

Our professor: Tell me something you know and sure of that’s true.

Classmate: ….

That sort of went on for about 10 loops, until our professor finally decided to give that poor creature a break and spoon-feed a couple of clues just so that poor creature could blurt out an answer.

What a lousy human being.

I mean, seriously, how could someone not be able to answer that? One could answer with anything like the ones in the following:

1. The world is round.
2. You, dear sir, have a brain (and I do not).
3. Shit comes out of our ass when we take a dump.
4. I am a complete retard for not being able to respond quickly.

Easy, right?

The reason why that poor creature was not able to answer quick enough remains a mystery. Lack of knowledge of anything? Inexistent brain? Taking a simple question too far just because he/she likes to complicate everything? I’d go with the latter, since that is what usually happens to people. The first two can be considered valid explanations, too.

A simple question has a simple answer. Don’t complicate things. 

Our professor: ….what is true will always be true, and what is false will always remain false. For example, 1 + 1 will always be equal to 2, and nothing else.

Classmate: But sir, in our course, Computer Science, 1 + 1 is equal to 10. It’s from our lesson about the binary numeral system. 

Wow. Just wow. If  I were that person, I’d shift to a course that’s easy. What a waste of a nice course for a…nevermind.

Two reasons why this is bullshit:

Point 1:  Ok. ’1′ in binary is ’00000001′. If you add 00000001 and 00000001, you would get 00000010. Holy shit that’s 10!…not. To make things clear, ’2′ in binary is ’00000010′. There’s your 10, bitch. Convert it back to decimal before you try to sound smart.

Here’s a binary position and value table for those who can’t read binary. 

What that says is that if for every ’1′ in a binary number, you get it’s actual value, add it up, and then there’s your decimal. For the number 2, we put a ’1′ only on the second from the right digit, since in that “place” the actual value is 2. Everything else is ’0′. Add them up, then you have 2 in decimal. I know I’m not good at explaining things, so give this link a shot.

Point 2: What that person did is a lot like blaming why cows can’t fly and why birds don’t have udders. Or not. Idk. Sometimes I just make things up (((:

So there you go. A lot more reasons why you should lose faith in humanity.

If you have the black screen problem, which I think first surfaced during the 1.0 release, all you have to do to fix it is to update LWJGL that came with the game.

Note: The latest version (2.8.2) did not work for me and Nicola. We got past the black screen and were able to create the world, but we got stuck at the pause menu. I got around that by using the previous release (2.8.1). The latest one might work for you though. Give it a try. If it still does not work, try 2.8.1.

LWJGL:  2.8.1 or 2.8.2. Download lwjgl-2.8.x.zip.

Update:

1. Extract the LWJGL package you downloaded.
2. Open the directory where minecraft is located.

   Linux: ~/.minecraft
   Windows: %appdata%/.minecraft
   Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/minecraft

3. For every jar file you see in the minecraft directory, replace it with the ones found in the downloaded and extracted LWJGL package.
4. There should be another folder named “natives” somewhere inside the minecraft directory. Replace the .so files with the ones in the LWJGL package. The replacement files are found in <where.you.extracted.it>/native/<your.os>/.
5. Profit.

• An open mind.
• Belief in God.
• Common sense.

Background information about me: I grew up and still am currently with my grandparents who are very religious, especially my grandmother. I could have grown up to this age (18) extremely religious, but I haven’t. Sometimes, there are those people who can’t help but question what the hell it is that other people do. I am one of those, and I hate being very compliant. Anyway, what you’re about to read are just random bits of my opinions and interpretations of my religion (Roman Catholic). I may be wrong at a lot of things here, and I admit I know not a lot of stuff my own religion teaches me. But like I said, OPINION.

1. Religion is useless. Even those who “teach them” say so indirectly. Why? Remember those times when those who “teach” us can’t just ignore the fact that there are a LOT of religions out there? And that they say they don’t have to be Catholic/Christian to be able to go to heaven? That could mean I can be in heaven even without a religion.

2. God exists. He created everything. The Earth is not the center of the universe, literally and figuratively. The creation story is exagerrated (duh), and I believe God created everything in a systematic way. That means He built everything from the ground up. I strongly believe in this “theory” because there are still a lot of basic things we can’t explain. Also, where did everything come from? The universe itself must have come from somewhere somehow. Or Someone.

3. Heaven and hell: A giant reward and punishment system. It’s all “set up” to “reward” those who do good and “punish” those who do bad. My question is… why? Why can’t people do good because it’s their duty to do good and not because they will be rewarded in the near future?

IMO,  Heaven is “where someone will be” when people remember (in a good way) someone when he/she dies. It’s a lot like being immortal, in a sense that a part of that person lives with the people who find him/her meaningful in their lives. Hell is when no one ever really cares, or that person screwed so much that people no longer want to ever think he/she ever existed.

I still believe in the afterlife though. This is just how I view things. You see, for me, being remembered matters a lot more than the fact that I may be in the heaven we all think and know. Or not.

4. The belief in God and respect for one another are enough 99% of the time. Look back to my point #3. I would love to see a world where people do things and actually care about it’s outcome and how it affects others around him/her. That, my friends, are the building blocks to everything good that follows. It is popularly known as “caring”, or as some people call it, “giving a shit” about things.

And oh, prayers. I believe the simplest and most sincere prayers work the best. I don’t really think the pattered/memorized prayers like the rosary are any different. Humans, LIKE US, composed those, so we must be able to make our own. No need to memorize anything.

5. I’m not going to hell for writing this. However, people are going going to hate me. FFS, religion is man made. Stand up for what you believe in, and not for something that has been taught to you since the very day you were born. I’m not saying we should trash religion, but at least let’s be critical about things.

Please notice the scores (:

See that last one? With the E-100 and Maus camping? And the two Ferdinands scaled the fucking hill only to die? Seriously. Something has gone wrong with matchmaker. I used to manage getting a victory/death ratio of 52%, but now it’s back to 51%, and is steadily on its way to 50. If it gets worse, I’m going to stop playing.

That’s not all. There are a lot more games I forgot to take screenies of, because it has been increasingly common lately. And oh, I’ve already bitched about this here.

Seriously WoT, sort your shit. Or at least punish wallet warriors. It’s KILLING YOUR GAME.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. In this case, it’s worth just one: FUCK.

Let me explain it to you.

I was playing a game at Lakeville with a team mainly composed of retards. Despite all that help (seriously, 6 kills and damaging 4 more), we lost. Not your regular loss, but that loss where you all get that thought that there’s nothing you can do about it.

Also, please note that I am not your regular camping tank destroyer (still in the Jagdpanther). I treat mine like a medium, taking into account of course, maneuverability issues. Point is, the screenshot you see above weren’t kill-steals. The number of shots and hits say the same thing. It’s just that I put a lot of effort in that game TO LOSE.

And I thought that was just one game with bad luck.

Yesterday morning, I hit a victory percentage of 52% and defeats at  46%. I thought I was having an awesome day, since a lot of my games were victories. It was a great feeling raising up 51% by 1%, considering the fact that I have already played 1,500 matches in my entire life. In short, it takes a shitload of games to get that percentage up, unless you make a new account and make sure you always win from the beginning, but then again, that’s out of your control.

Speaking of control…

That evening, I started playing again, feeling somehow confident that I’d still win a lot of games. The problem was, not really. I had a defeat streak of more than 20, plus  a little victory breaks to make me feel better, and then back to the streaks. I was completely pissed. All games were epic defeats. To give you a little perspective on “epic defeats”, here’s a little picture:

OMG I’m sooo speechless nao that I’m gonna cry :’(

Seriously. That went on. For hours. With 0.00000001% of my games being wins. It’s still going on until now, actually. Now I’m back to my overall 51% victories, with my Jagdpanther back to 55% victories from an acceptable 58%.

I got so pissed that I bought a Wespe anyway to try and evade such bad luck. But alas, 2 out of 9 wins with it. Epic defeats also.

MY POINT? The game doesn’t want you having more than 50% victories on your games. Unless you’re someone who can really turn games around, you can get up to 60%.

Or you’re using premium.

It’s just some conspiracy theory I (and probably a lot more people) thought about after the streak, and I don’t expect you to agree with me.  But seriously. Think about it.

I’m still going to play World of Tanks though. I’m not going to let some bullshit matchmaker ruin my love for German armor. If you’re in the same fate as me, good luck.

• World of Tanks: Easily the best (and most frustrating) tank-based online game. (veryexistence.wordpress.com)

(image source - somewhere there)

Over the course of just a month, I have been invited to a couple of business opportunities (my ass), and to be honest with you, I actually spent time deliberating whether or not I should join the “companies” that my friends joined. Eventually, I made a decision and said “Fuck it. That’s bullshit”.

I’m not saying that my friends have made the worst decisions in their entire lives by joining those companies. It’s just that, I don’t like how the system works. Simple as that. Besides, there is no such thing as easy money. Even if easy money does exist, it’s either you’ve worked hard in the beginning and deserve the reward of your efforts, or you’ve siphoned the hard-earned money of other people.

MLM’s? The second method of getting easy money that I have mentioned.

The first time I was invited (tricked, actually) to an orientation from an MLM company that I’m totally not going to mention (go to hell UNO), I was bombarded with information that can, and will, make people sign up. That includes the explanation of the system, how much it cares for you and your “business”, and of course, how you’re going to make shitloads of cash.

Then again, I’m going to be completely honest with you. I actually wanted to join because of the promise of money being rained on me, and the only thing that was keeping me from doing so was that I didn’t have something to invest. A week passed, and my friend pro’lly got bored of waiting for me to make a decision, and he stopped asking me. Good. Whew. Then there came another MLM company that promised the same shit, but with a smaller capital. This was where MLM people showed their true colors. Again, I’m going to keep the company name secret (Haha, Just fucking with you. It’s WON).

I’m not going to be illogical here. Here are the reasons why I think joining MLMs is pure and absolute bullshit:

1. People don’t really care about the sales, just about how much they recruit. The products are just there for the people’s capital / sign up packages. Once they’re in, they just invite a shitload of people, and those who sign up are forced to buy the shit products. They invite again, and this goes on until all people are selling each other the same bullshit. Now, it’s completely fine for me to sell products, unless…

2. The products look like they’ve come out of a cow’s asshole. They’re just there to…you know…make it look like a business where you sell products and shit. Besides, MLMs are forcing us to buy their shit, and it doesn’t really matter how their product performs against other products because you’re tied to it. In other words, you buy it because you have to and not because it’s actually good. They have no incentive to improve it.

3. You can, and you will make money lots of money… IF YOU’RE ON TOP. This is where it I feel sorry for the people who joined them. I decided not to join because that would mean tricking other people to join the pyramid.

4. Do the math. Link it to my 3rd statement. At one point, all other recruits are going to be just means to fuel those at the top. This is the part where I cry.

5. The people are “unqualified” for these businesses. All that matters is if you know people, you’re in. Nothing else. Nada.

Seriously.

Also, check out this vid. It’s a different company, but you get the point.

Note: This post suxxx Can’t even get the linebreaks to properly “register” lol. All I have to say is that it’s a good game. Here’s me bitching about losing a lot –> bitching and bitching

Just a quick note about the title: When I say “best online game”, I actually mean the only online game I put time and effort on, and when I say frustrating, I mean it tries to fuck with you until the end of time (or until you get a badass tank).

For a little intro, here’s a quote I CTRL+C and CTRL+V’d from onlinegamesforyou.com

World of Tanks is a team-based, free download, massively multiplayer online action game dedicated to armored warfare featuring historically accurate fighting vehicles from the 1930s to the 1950s

Anyway, the first time I heard about this game was when I was browsing Metacritic looking for games to play. I had a look at all games with a rating of 80 and above, and there I’ve met WoT. It immediately passed my “online game test”  even without me playing it. And since I have the best criteria in the whole world when it comes to online games, here it is to share:

• A lot like Company of Heroes.
• Company of Heroes with all unnecessary bullshit removed.
• A shitload of tanks. In a map. Bashing the fuck out of each other.
• Totally not full of teenage dicks.
• Absolutely no sign of a child playing it.
• Does not involve killing monsters over and over again.
• NO FUCKING CHILDREN PLAYING IT. Seriously. I fucking hate it when children on online games trashfuckingtalk other people. And no, I’m not a child-ist (I say the word exists).
• Children not interested in playing it. It keeps them out. Nuff said.

• Matchmaking sucks (matchmaking chart here). Well, not completely, considering the fact that you get raped by it when you’re between Tier 4 and Tier 8 which is where you obviously spend more time on. Take the tank destroyers, for example. Tank destroyers are supposed to inflict massive damages to the enemy, with the slight disadvantage of having no turret (limited gun traverse) and having paper armor. They work extremely well — when put in matches similar to their tier. When put in higher tier matches, good luck. It does, however, teach us tank destroyer players a lot of survival skills.
• You don’t get to play with a lot of your friends. You can play with a friend in platoon mode, but if you want to play with more than just 1 friend, you have to pay real life money for that. Sort of a deal breaker for people playing with a lot of friends.
• Given the above, cooperating with completely random strangers is a bit hard.
• And by random strangers I mean a lot of complete idiots. Check here for some of my games that lost epicly.

That’s about it. GTG and play my semi shitty JagdPz IV
