Tidings of Joy!
December 15th 2005, 21:06 CET by Chunkstyle What are you asking for this year? What are you buying others? Why do English people eat puddings? Why do people buy that album of dogs barking Jingle Bells? What's your favorite Christmas memory? Do you believe in Santa Claus, or are you a joyless Scrooge? |

Excellent point, m0nty. "It's only make-believe until it becomes flim-flam."
|

And in christmas cheer.... my better half is currently in Banner Desert Hospital having her right wrist operated on, 11 fractures. She was visiting friends over the weekend, ended up mugged, lost her bag, cellphone, engagement ring and the fucker took a swing at her (she had her hands up to defend herself). Cops have caught the fucker. oh just gimme 5 minutes alone with him, pretty please. |

I'm with Ergo. Until bago understands how a message board works and is able to properly quote the post he's referring to and actually post on topic (within the current sub thread), he's just a stoner who deserves to be sniped. If bago sets it up, someone is going to knock it down. Law of the jungle. Jesus Christ, that is unbelievably retarded! - lwf

Bummer, Ds. Give him a professional kick to the groin from me. |
|
Just cause you fuckers switch topics every 5 posts you want me to quote when I take 30 minutes to make a post at work? Fuck that. I'm posting because it's a mental switch away from work. <Cerebus> if i want some inhuman semi-comedic non-sequitors, then you'll be the first i call.

Anyone else here played Predator: Concrete Jungle? I'm liking the general world movement, and the ripping the cockpit off of the mechs, grabbing the fleshbags inside and slamming them silly parts. <Cerebus> if i want some inhuman semi-comedic non-sequitors, then you'll be the first i call.

I think bare links deserve a SEEN IT, and possibly a "stop Ericing up the place". To immunise yourself against the SEEN IT menace, try composing some English language sentences giving your own cogent, incisive opinion on the subject of the link. That way the post is about what you think, not just harvested links from aggregators. In other words, act like a human and not a bot. 1) I was unaware that "SEEN IT" derived from a desire to see more intelligent discussion here. I guess I mistook annoying one-liners for being...annoying...one-liners...in other words, practice what you preach. If you actually wanted to discuss it, you would have responded with an opinion rather than a tired cliche. If I'd offered an opinon, all I'd be doing is adding some padded space before the "SEEN IT!" So sorry if I see that as a bit of wasted effort. Next time maybe I'll just add some line breaks in there to achieve the same effect. 2) Half of the reason I still come here is that it's the end of a giant suck-sifting mechanism. The links make their way through the web and the shitty ones are ignored by most here, leaving only the good stuff. If the link is interesting or funny or whatever, I'm glad to have been linked to it. If I've seen it, I just move on and wait for something I haven't seen. With your plan they'd be all like "everyone with weasels in their pants thinks they're great dancers but they're not, they've just got weasels in their pants."

That sucks Ds, hope she'll be alright. When the mugger gets raped in jail I'll think of it as a Christmas Miracle. Game Developers: Don't forget the zombie monkeys.

Or, to put it in more personal terms, "SEEN IT" is the equivalent of: "Well, m0nty, maybe in Web 2.0 links will come with their own opinions from magical shared information sources! You should have your programmers get right on that." Adds nothing to the conversation and serves only to waste space. With your plan they'd be all like "everyone with weasels in their pants thinks they're great dancers but they're not, they've just got weasels in their pants."

If I want a bunch of links with little or no thought in between, I'd go to Blue's or EA or (shudder) Shacknews or any of the other gazillion Ctrl-C-Ctrl-V sites out there. I would hope PlanetCrap could be host to something a bit more interesting. Jibsy-wibsy, you can't expect anyone else to make the effort to talk about the link if you have demonstrated that you think it's a waste of effort yourself. QEFD. |

Someone should do a machinima with the Kong game having the ape lipsync to In Da Club. Hmm... did I miss something or am I overreacting? Kid: Because you went to the bathroom on mommy's dishes?

I would hope PlanetCrap could be host to something a bit more interesting. Isn't Tinfinger just a fancified version of a Ctrl-C-Ctrl-V site? It's not different just because computers are doing the copy/paste instead of humans, you know. In any case, I think you're missing the point here. I don't go to those sites because I figure that content will eventually find its way here if it's worth looking at. Jibsy-wibsy, you can't expect anyone else to make the effort to talk about the link if you have demonstrated that you think it's a waste of effort yourself. QEFD. If I thought it was a waste of effort, I wouldn't have posted the link. I just assumed that it might spark a discussion. Instead, I get a "SEEN IT" and a half-assed attempt to explan how "SEEN IT" really means "I would be glad to discuss these findings if you would be so kind as to provide me with your thoughts on the matter." No amount of explanation is going to excuse the fact that "SEEN IT" is this board's equivalent of a six year old begging for attention because he's bored with what's currently going on around him. You might as well just yell "BOOGER!" With your plan they'd be all like "everyone with weasels in their pants thinks they're great dancers but they're not, they've just got weasels in their pants."

No one in the history of time could have predicted that. With your plan they'd be all like "everyone with weasels in their pants thinks they're great dancers but they're not, they've just got weasels in their pants."

Jibble (#167): Isn't Tinfinger just a fancified version of a Ctrl-C-Ctrl-V site? It's not different just because computers are doing the copy/paste instead of humans, you know. Of course it is, or at least the news portion of it is. Those sites have their place, they remain useful to some people. But this is a message board, with allegedly opinionated people on it. In any case, I think you're missing the point here. I don't go to those sites because I figure that content will eventually find its way here if it's worth looking at. The point is that I couldn't give two shits about the vast majority of news content any more, it all washes off me. What I care about it is people talking about it who I like sparring with. I'm done with straight news. Maybe you're not, but I'm just communicating what my priorities are. |

You two need some Christmas cheer. Game Developers: Don't forget the zombie monkeys.

The point is that I couldn't give two shits about the vast majority of news content any more, it all washes off me. I guess we should all just stop posting links to news stories then. I'm sure that will help spice up the discussion around here. Honestly, at this point you're just being ridiculous. People care as much about your thoughts on news stories as they care about my position on "SEEN IT!" With your plan they'd be all like "everyone with weasels in their pants thinks they're great dancers but they're not, they've just got weasels in their pants."

You can take your Christmas cheer and shove it, baby in a manger. |

Oh I'll raise your christmas spirit! If only I could find that mistletoe.. [/obnoxious WoW reference] "The gun settles all arguments. The boot silences criticism. The tank crushes protest."

Yet when I ask the same thing of those who cry "SEEN IT" I am somehow wrong.

It just doesn't sound like either of you are having a holly jolly Christmas. Game Developers: Don't forget the zombie monkeys.

My holly jolly Christmas starts on Friday at about noon. Before then I will be a bundle of hate and bile. With your plan they'd be all like "everyone with weasels in their pants thinks they're great dancers but they're not, they've just got weasels in their pants."

Which is pretty much standard fare for the fucking 19th. "There's no place like home."

There's a Soul Coughing song that's appropriate for this conversation.

Fuck you. "There's no place like home."

I hate it when days like this come along that make me wonder why I bother posting here. Hopefully it will pass. With your plan they'd be all like "everyone with weasels in their pants thinks they're great dancers but they're not, they've just got weasels in their pants."

Slow down, you're moving way too faaaast... "There's no place like home."

that sucks ass, Ds. Hope she's ok. "Testiculos habet et bene pendentes" — "He has testicles, and they dangle nicely."

Aww, poor Jibsy. |

If it helps Jibsy, I hope your wife gets pregnant. By you, if at all possible. |

I was too terrified to reply to Ds when I read his post. Best of wishes regarding recovery and vengance and everything inbetween. Bejesus :( "The gun settles all arguments. The boot silences criticism. The tank crushes protest."

I know it's a pretty polarizing game, but in my opinion, Indigo Prophecy is absolutely brilliant. Accipere quam facere praestat injuriam...
|
|
By "polarizing," I assume you mean everyone hates it except for you. Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,
The lovers, the dreamers, and me. |
|
I loved Indigo Prophecy until I got to the part where it didn't understand my bindings and made the female detective go crazy. Funk. I am sofa king. We todd ed.
|
|
My Xmas cheer is in overdrive since I used some of my carefully saved vacation time to take this week off. Merry Fucking Christmas! Jesus Christ, that is unbelievably retarded! - lwf
|
|
Ho ho ho? Accipere quam facere praestat injuriam...
|
|
My christmas cheer comes in the form of girls whose names end in the letter 'a'. <Cerebus> if i want some inhuman semi-comedic non-sequitors, then you'll be the first i call.
|
|
M0nty is being a douche. Posting of the incitement link is a time honoured tool of the planetcrap troll. I should know. Charlie Hodge, the man who brings me mah scarves and mah water.
|
|
SEEN IT. Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,
The lovers, the dreamers, and me. |
|
I think I just felt the cool touch of the christmas ghost of that guy that left forever. Charlie Hodge, the man who brings me mah scarves and mah water.
|
|
Boo! Accipere quam facere praestat injuriam...
|
|
Some assholes just need to have the shit beaten out of them. "It's only make-believe until it becomes flim-flam."
|

Santarchy in seattle is usually a bar crawl that run down first street until they wind up at the Lusty Lady. 40 drunken santas leering! <Cerebus> if i want some inhuman semi-comedic non-sequitors, then you'll be the first i call.
|
|
I know that if someone beat the shit out of me I would really turn my life around and change my ways. Charlie Hodge, the man who brings me mah scarves and mah water.
|
|
My Xmas cheer is in overdrive since I used some of my carefully saved vacation time to take this week off. Merry Fucking Christmas! Me too. In addition to vacation time I also saved Resident Evil 4. Best Christmas ever? Could be! I hate my life and I want to die.
|
|
Resident Evil 4 is certainly GOTY. Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,
The lovers, the dreamers, and me. |
