IF you own a Playstation 3 you had to put up with some insanely stupid shit this past week. Apparently the internal clock (the one on a battery that runs 24/7) didn’t know that 2010 wasn’t a Leap Year.

So…all of us with a Fat PS3, the new Slim ones were fine, had our dates set to December 31, 1999! No big deal you say, and it really wasn’t THAT big a deal, but it had a few other problems while we waited for the clocks to flip over to March 2nd and fix itself.

This is where the real hilarity ensued for me anyways. First of all, EVERY game you tried to play on ApocolyPS3 day would delete all your trophies for that game. Just gone. So let’s say you just got a Platinum Trophy on the best game in forever Demon’s Souls you lost that bitch the second you started the game…

Of course when the clock flipped all was well for most people. Well…some. If you synced your trophies recently you got them all back, but if you didn’t, you are screwed. IF you did all you have to do is put the game in and lad them up and then re-sync with the server and the magically appear again in tact. If you didn’t sync them they are gone forever.

The RAGE people had over this the next day was just high comedy. PArents probalby wish they had taken out a bigger life insurance on the kid. Look at this fat asshole:

Especially for one game in particular that I noticed because it was the one I had been playing. Bioshock 2. You see like other idiot game developers such as say Rockstar and GTA IV, they added a bunch of ONLINE multi-player trophies for you to get if you wanted platinum. Dumbest shit ever since half the people online are just there to boost and get their damn trophies. Why Bioshock 2 is unique is that it has 4 trophies that rely solely on your online rank. You get 1 for Level 10, 20, 30, and 40.

You can guess what happened. People playing Bioshock 2 during the ApocolyPS3 lost all their trophies just like everyone else, but a few people could actually play online that day (some peopel couldn’t even play games OFFLINE that day). During that time they could level up and many passed one of those trophy levels and got them that day. Since they weren’t synced they might be Level 23, but they don’t have their Level 20 trophy anymore which means they are SCREWED. You can’t go back at this point. You can never get it again unless you sign in with another PSN ID, which means you have to get all the trophies again, and your precious Platinum won’t be on your account you always use.

Even if Sony is a bunch of douches, at least the makers of BS2 care a little bit, although they have no idea how to fix it. IF you have the problem read this thread on their forums and see if they ever come up with a solution .

Anonymity is the best shield for the racist. Obviously, the majority of racists are cowards. They aren’t the grand old racists of days past like your grandparents who openly use racial slurs in casual conversation. People now have been trained in political correctness to act as if they aren’t really racist. The internet is another story. It takes racism to the extreme, and also takes Political Correctness and racial defense to another level.

Many would argue that everyone is racist to some degree. Either be it from experience in life, or how races are treated by the media government, etc. drilling into their subconscious. The world is so politically correct now that it almost seems that political correctness has become backhanded racism. For anyone that doesn’t understand that just think about it. Calling attention to someone’s race, or ethnicity rather than who they are as a person is just as bad, if not worse, since people that do it actually believe they are doing it out of respect. Why is it that when say a black guy accomplishes something they have to tell us he is black, or the “first black person to…”? Completely unnecessary, and it just continues to fuel the need to label races rather than pat a guy on the back for just doing a good job. IT just continues the sub-conscious thought process of viewing everyone through a racial prism rather than as individuals that are different based on who they are, and not what color they are.

Sorry, this went a totally different direction than I thought it would when I started this topic. The second I start thinking about Political Correctness I get pissed off and have to rant about it.

Anyways, not sure what to talk about now as I completely changed my mind on what I wanted to say. The whole point was to talk about how much more racist people were online than the real world, but I think that anyone reading this already knows that if they are racist in any way. The internet is a place where you can just spew out whatever you are thinking without having to filter it because there is very little reason to worry about the consequences. Political correctness has done nothing more than make people give pause to their natural instincts for fear of being called on it (ie. racists are cowards). In the end it breeds sub-conscious hate, and doesn’t bring forth REAL discussion out in tho the open.

So…yeah…this went totally a different direction, but I posted it anyway. I’m going to cuddel up in my new electric blanket and get of the computer .

If you are a real troll this is what you have to do I guess. I noticed this the other day when I was on IMDb.com looking up a movie I was gonna download and wanted to see who was in it. Then I noticed Brittany Murphy was in it so I figured I’d look at her board there since she just died last week.

While I wasn’t actually surprised I had never thought of looking at the IMDb boards when a celebrity dies. I have written before saying that the dumbest people on the internet frequent IMDb.com and that it was a troll paradise, but even I didn’t think of something this bad. I’ve seen people doing things like talking about selling international travel insurance on there when someone got into a plane crash, but it never really lasted very long. Now every celeb death on there ends up being compared to Michael Jackson and people talk about who’s death was a bigger deal. I mean serious, there are people that actually think Brittany Murphy was a bigger deal than Michael Jackson.

While most of them were pretty weak, one guy had me rolling pretty hard. It wasn’t really “trolling” as it was just funny. Odds are the guy was completely full of crap, but someone posted a few pics of Brittany from movies she was in where she was dead in the picture. Some idiot was asking if they should report the pics to IMDb so they would take them down (LMAO).

Anyways, this guy comes in and ask if there are anymore. Someone calls him sick and then he just goes on to talk about how he has Level 2 Necrophilia (sex with dead people…dar) and that he gets off when someone catches him. Preferably the family/friends of the deceased. It was just so over the top I laughed out loud.

It is actually still going on over there. People have been trolling the site for a good few days now and even over Christmas. It’s starting to get rather sad actually. These guys aren’t funny trolls at this point. They are certifiable.

Almost all message board users who have A) Never had a job, or B) Have rich parents are either Communists, or Socialists.

If you ever see a conversation about economic governmental theory on a board with younger users, it is probable that most of these youngters are either spouting Socialism, or Communism ideals like they just “figured it all out”.

It’s laughable in every instance. They are completely clueless in how the world actually works.

Capitalism on the other hand is seen as pure evil. Here are some random examples of Capitalistic hate:

Pro-Capitalism Guy: People that say that Capitalism “is harder for poor people blah blah…”

The REAL answer is that it is “harder for STUPID and LAZY people…”

Anti-Capitalism Guy: The problem is, stupid and lazy people with rich parents have it easier than stupid and lazy people with poor parents.

Pro-Capitalism Guy: Are stupid and lazy people slaves? They have human rights. They don’t deserve everything that costs money free.

Anti-Capitalism Guy: But the stupid and lazy people with large inheritances get it free anyway.

Pro-Capitalism Guy: Fortunately, everyone else doesn’t have to PAY for those people being stupid and lazy.

Anti-Capitalism Guy: That’s obvious. I’m still saying it ends up in unfair advantages.

Which is why there might as well be a 100% inheritance tax. When you’re dead you no longer have the capacity to care about money.

Pro-Capitalism Guy: Wow…you are an idiot.

——————
Basically most people that are poor online hate rich people no matter what and have Robin Hood syndrome. While nobody ever said Capitalism is perfect, it’s not bad for the reasons most of these morons think it is bad. At least in a Capitalistic society you can get stuff like cheap weight loss pills because of competition if you are fat and lazy. Illogical fools.

You might not have been paying attention. Myself I have always been of the thought that the majority of people that discuss things on message boards, forums, and social networks are predominately atheists. At least the more outspoken people that is. Places like Digg clearly are overrun by atheists, but a place that you think would clearly be predominately atheists would be Youtube, and in fact I am finding this is not the case at all.

While you can argue that the percentage of atheists on Youtube is likely higher than that of the U.S. population I have been seeing recently that Youtube is clearly overrun by the religious.

What makes me say so? Comments and views on things that only Christians, or other religious folks would watch. At the very least videos that they would be most likely to complain about and argue on. Sure there are tons of atheism videos on Youtube, and you get the average religious person on there trying to argue false logic with loudmouth atheists that berate them with insults, but those aren’t the ones I mean. All you have to do is find Oprah.

Oprah is a hotbed for Christians and their ilk. Videos about Oprah that even remotely suggest anything religious have 10, 20. 50 times the views and comments of any atheist, or anti-religious video on Youtube. Search “Oprah Denies Christ” and you will see what I mean. Let me just add the video below that has over 4 MILLION views. Christians everywhere like rows and rows of tile flooring. Christians absolutely OWN atheists on Youtube in numbers. It’s really not even close and this is something I was shocked to see this week.

Sadly, these are the kinds of discussions Oprah and her followers get into. Listen to the woman in the audience that defies all logic to Oprah’s arguments and the crowd actually agreeing with her. Oprah is clearly a shrewd celeb though and gets out of the debate unscathed. She tries to inject critical thinking into these people and guess what? Complete dismissal of any argument in the discussion without even hearing it.

I’m sorry, but I don’t care if you are atheist, or you worship giant beetles, dismissing logic by saying that you are just trying to “intellectualize” it is completely and utterly wrong. Think. Please.
