Believe it?

I will readily admit that everybody is entitled to their opinions. As misguided as some opinions may be, everybody is entitled to them. For example, there are some people who hold onto the belief that Mario is still a franchise with good games, and whilst these people are very fucking wrong, it's not very nice to attack such people, and illogical as there are laws protecting the mentally disadvantaged.

However, there is an exception to this particular rule. This comes in the form of the "Narutard" Such a creature is so named as a portmantaeu of the words "Naruto" and "retard". Naruto, for those of you who have never heard of it, rare and fortunate as you are, is an anime based around a ninja training school. And is shit. The whole series is remarkably Western, which is always a bad characteristic for an anime, but justified. As far as I can tell, the entire thing is based around sounding slightly Japanese, trying to be Dragonball-Z and providing an chance for pre-pubescent females to pretend that they're "cool" and "alternative". And lure older men who should know better into their scrawny embrace just so they can win more respect in the eyes of their fellows for having an older boyfriend.

I fail utterly to see why, in any possible reality, such a shoddy excuse for a program could ever have been approved, except possibly just to grab cash from kids who know no better, and as something to easily spawn merchandise, for example swirl headband things which look like a cunt printed on a chunk of metal attached to cheap fabric. I can't see at all why anybody would watch this, but then nobody understands why I cut out paperchains of people holding hands, attach them to a fan, whilst switching the lights on and off so I can hold my own personal rave.

Reality is the new escape

Those of you with a nervous disposition towards terrible stories of human evil please don't read the rest of this post, as Rai drew my attention to an event a couple of years old now that has left me in near pieces.

A little while ago there was a girl who played World of Warcraft. She had many online friends, but she then sadly passed away in real life. Her friends, being all around the globe, decided to hold an online funeral for her in the game, at a location she had enjoyed. Unorthodox? Certainly, but a gesture I'm sure most of you can sympathise with given the context. Anyway, these friends of hers arranged the funeral and asked fellow players not to attack them as a show of respect.

A rival army ambushed them mid-funeral for whatever reason people do that to each other on WoW. Actually, it wasn't really a rival army, the guild that did this were doing it SPECIFICALLY to wreck the funeral. When reading about this I heard rumours that the deceased girls parents were watching this as it took place. This wasn't the death of a character, it was the death of a human being that was mocked and vandalised for all to see. Were these people punished? Of course not, they didn't do anything technically beyond the rules of the game. People don't commit this sort of act in real life for fear of reprisal. Is it worrying that we are starting to have to turn to reality for our escape from the moral monstrosities that plague our society?

Some of you may have read Craig's blog (http://guessthepassword.blogspot.com/) on the same topic, but if not I'm going to borrow this quote from the youtube comments page:

"Well i dont feel bad for the horde their. Its fucking payback for all the bullshit in Quel'Danas. They called alliance pussy Bassicly. for those horde who knew her im glad that bitch died, so why dont you go make a raid group and camp people in Quel'Danas some more then bitch, Peace out"

Ignore the crappy spelling and the names of factions you don't understand....I think you get the message.

And there are others similar. And a hell of alot saying "It was their own fault for having the funeral in contested territory". By the letter of the law, that's right. But these guys gave plenty of warning TO THE ATTACKERS and just asked for common human decency. Apparently it's OK to exploit people's grief over the death of someone close to them as long as you're doing it from behind a keyboard.

Damn, it's at times like this I wish there was a God just so these so called "people" can be well and truly smoten.

Here's hoping for a return to comedic form next post eh?

Here's commitment for ya

While I write this latest chunk of the scripture you filthy buggers use in your nightly rituals of drinking hot chocolate in your pyjamas that your mommy so nicely laid out for you before you go to bed, followed immediately by jerking off to some horrible drawings on deviantART, I'm in the middle of Romania being horribly confused by Eastern European culture. And as such, I have sought refuge in an internet cafe, which will lead with a bit of luck to some form of a restaurant with attached bar. Until such a time, I decided to look through recent comments on here, and was amused by one from my Mario Kart review.

"Sucks more than Rai behind the bike sheds"

And we see a perfect example of internet culture, mindless abuse. Thus we see a positive attribute of the internet, the ability to sharpen the wit in the process of arguing a point during healthy debate. Or, more likely, just degenerate into a disgusting repetition of "lol, ur the suxxors!" and I fully expect a flow of freakish, exorcist style, bile for my demonstrated inability to use the bizarre dialect known as Leet. Which I shall refuse to use. Because it sucks more than Mario Kart, or alternatively more than one of my readers behind the bikesheds, or so (according to 'Sprog') I am led to believe.

Leet seems to me an ultimate example of hatred in the direction of the English language. Congratulations to all you pale conspiracy whores, you have all become chavs, albeit chavs who dedicate their lives to their complete fantasy persona's in World of Warcraft, and have nothing else to do but to argue on forums, read shitty blogs telling them how much they suck, and to pretend at night when they think nobody's awake, that their hand is Princess Zeldas mouth.
