The lag is still there if that's what you're wondering. I don't understand why people would pay the monthly subscription just to get angry when their game freezes.

You all bitch and moan that no one takes games seriously, no one takes gamers seriously as a class of people. Yet, here stands a testiment to a group of people TRYING to be taking seriously, and you just f*ck with them to make them difficult."<br /> <br /> Except that this isn't really forwarding any sort of positive, serious stance for anyone. The only practical results of this event were lag and frustration for people who were minding their own business.<br /> <br /> This is like the local Clown Union wanting to be taken more seriously, and so they decide to march through town in their clown suits. And then dance at the end. Fri, 04 Jan 2008 22:00:21 +0000 lumi comment 87444 at the1jeffy -<br /> <br /> Alright, I stand corrected. MSM are more like talentless crack whores that have yet to lose their teeth.(This makes the crack whore completely worthless as well) Fri, 04 Jan 2008 20:56:06 +0000 Terrible Tom comment 87443 at Terrible Tom,<br /> <br /> Don't be crude. Whores are nothing like the MSM. Sex workers provide a valuable service, where the MSM is useless. Fri, 04 Jan 2008 13:37:53 +0000 the1jeffy comment 87442 at I think people should be allowed to act childish and what not. There shouldn't be a law requiring people to act intelligent and mature. If there was there would be a huge amount of people that would be in a lot of trouble, myself included. I do wish some people would act more mature a lot of the time but its as easy as not blessing them with the energy to grant a response. <br /> <br /> But I do agree that the people who wish games and gamers to be taken seriously should look a bit further into their actions because there are times where I do see a great deal of behavior that I would classify as hypocritical.<br /> <br /> People have the right to say anything they want to but saying things such as Ron Paul is not a real candidate is pretty foolish because you literally have nothing to back up that claim. Polls aren't a accurate or even legitimate way to predict the outcome of the actual voting process and the mainstream media really only tells you what they WANT to tell you. They claim they have "fair and balanced coverage" or they are "unbiased" but that is impossible. <br /> <br /> Honestly, what do you even care what they have to say? You shouldn't even give a shit what I think either. Have you lost the ability to read into presidential candidates? Look at his grassroots supporters, look at the records he has set and look at how those records were achieved. Look at his platform and look at the bills he sponsors in congress. He is literally running off the same platform he always has(see 1988 Libertarian bid and his 10-terms in Congress).<br /> <br /> I hate the mainstream media with a passion. They are the worst place to gain information and knowledge and yet they are for whatever reason trusted by a large portion of individuals. Untrustworthy, inconsistent, self-important and theoretically irrelevant.<br /> <br /> Until we start treating the mainstream media as what it is, a whore, then its going to continue to have a death grip on American culture. Sorry to be so crude but you fuck whores for personal gain. It is as simple as that, fuck them, give them a little change and get what you need out of them. Money is their substance and the brain-dead misinformed public is their oxygen. Fri, 04 Jan 2008 00:07:07 +0000 Terrible Tom comment 87441 at "Every single individual who either attacked or harrassed these marchers should have the right to protest against game/entertainment legislation revoked."<br /> <br /> Well that sounds positively libertarian.<br /> <br /> Oh wai-- Thu, 03 Jan 2008 17:55:47 +0000 Diane comment 87440 at LordDax,<br /> <br /> What? I rolled a charater to propose my differing political opinion by using the game mechanics to do so. WoW isn't real-life. What you are proposing is both that video game space should be held to same "rules" as real life, and the people who play the game and break no rules should have their right to real-life free speech taken away?<br /> <br /> "conscientious respectful and openminded adult" <br /> <br /> Yes, because your post just drips with all of that. Thu, 03 Jan 2008 14:26:49 +0000 the1jeffy comment 87439 at @Serrenity<br /> <br /> I agree. The foolishness inherent in those who were against the rally simply goes to reinforce the view that gamers are bickering children who need to be supervised and regulated. The lack of retribution/punishment for such offenses is what allowed them to occur in World of Warcraft, for I do not believe that there would be a similar number of people throwing rocks at a Ron Paul march in DC.<br /> <br /> Every single individual who either attacked or harrassed these marchers should have the right to protest against game/entertainment legislation revoked. If you can not act like a conscientious respectful and openminded adult then you should not be entitled to the priveleges of such. Thu, 03 Jan 2008 14:15:43 +0000 LordDax comment 87438 at In going thru the Yahoo Dashboard just now, I find that their "Buzz" quantity, which is a measure of how many people are bringing up information on a particular candidate, shows Ron Paul with the highest "Buzz" numbers in something like 31 states. Granted, it is only people looking for information, and the poll numbers don't match the "Buzz" numbers, but the actual numbers are far more for Ron Paul than anybody else, plus he is also second in "Buzz" numbers in several other states. There is a lot of interest in Ron Paul, and what they call a revolution may be catching on. He is the only constituttionalist running, and the interest in that so far is being underestimated. This is not a Ross Perot phenomenon, it appears to be a real grassroots movement. Thu, 03 Jan 2008 02:47:48 +0000 karl comment 87437 at It won't make a difference. Besides...having a march for a real candidate might make a difference. Wed, 02 Jan 2008 22:26:41 +0000 AlexTaldren comment 87436 at
