The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
I remember the drama that came out of the comic I just posted. It was hilarious.
Yeah I remember that, how a bunch of the lesser jerk off guys who were trying to make it by on micropayments ripped on PA for bagging on that guys really crappy documentary.

I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.
Well the drama was because PA was huge and seen as bagging on their lessers. When it was mainly just ripping on a crappy documentary. I forget who lead the micropayment charge or what shitty comic he even did, but the guy was a major douche at the start of webcomicry.

If we need more women in [chat] to keep things in perspective...well, we're fucked. We're a bunch of screwballs who make dick and rape jokes. This is our hell on Earth.
Defeatist talk!
What can I say? Either we need to start bringing in more gays, better conservatives, fewer teenagers who want to write horribly written letters to politicians and public figures, and expunge the shitstorm personalities...
Or we all dress up in calypso costumes and dance a spicy number to earn enough money to save grandpa's retirement casino COME ON GUYS WHO'S WITH ME?

So I've seen how badly some games perform on some systems. Like running really slow and shit. But I've never seen the likes of bad performance as when I tried the Arma 2 demo.
Everything was covered in a blurry fog, some objects were solid colors, things were jumping around all over the place, the framerate was horrible.
I'll do my best to describe what I saw in my dream last night. It was an incredibly fleeting glance, but I got a tremendous amount of history and intent from it.
Imagine one of the walls from your room gone, replaced instead by a dark portal to a region of unknown space. Through the portal you see only the immense head and shoulders of a large, bald demon. Its skin white, its eyes like galaxies, its mouth locked in a permanent open grin revealing thousands of tiny, pointed teeth. As you look down the throat of the beast, you see the very essence of infinity itself.
Everything in your room is slowly being pulled towards this gaping maw. By "everything" I don't just mean your bed, your clothes, your pictures on the wall, your clothes horse... I mean everything. The atomic structure of your possessions begins to melt away, a flowing stream of particles evaporating away from their original place and into the mouth of the creature. The walls, the floor, the ceiling, the oxygen, everything pulled towards it. The string of atoms is almost beautiful in a horrific way.
The space is left empty. Not in the sense that the room is vacant, but that this block of space is now devoid of existence. It is a void, bereft of existence, a room-shaped hole in reality. It is painful to look at, the eyes do not wish to process it.
Content, the beast moves on to another room and begins the process anew. It is a slow process, but room by room, building by building, the creature intends to destroy everything. And once there is no more interior to wrap the exterior around, the reality of our world will simply collapse inwards, folding in on itself.
...or something like that.
A good name for this, I have decided, is "The Fourth Wall".
Well the drama was because PA was huge and seen as bagging on their lessers. When it was mainly just ripping on a crappy documentary. I forget who lead the micropayment charge or what shitty comic he even did, but the guy was a major douche at the start of webcomicry.
The other comic they did aout the micropayment guy (the billygoat/honey comic) was just as hilarious.

Oh god fat internet nerd I work with has moved on from guns to throwing knives. He wants to get a throwing knife target so he can practice it. Jesus all he needs is a ron paul bumper sticker and he completes the god damn tard nerd collection.

Yeah and it did point to how ridiculous his plan was. Though PA did stay alive based on paypal for a while. Which is kind of amazing.

He hasn't completed the collection until he has a WarHammer 40,000 army that he has devoted many hours to painting and constantly spends money expanding, despite having no idea nor any intent on playing the game.

That's an awesome dream! Well, ok... technically a nightmare, yes.

Can I swap that for a love of old MMOs and Warcraft addiction?

Any of you guys know of any games, new or old, that are about Building Things? A city, a transport network, and empire etc...? More specificially, games that might (or might not) contain some aspect of conquest but are really focused on making things. So maybe Pharoah or Caesar 1-4 but not Civilization.

At least meticulously painted, good looking models are creative to some degree, and could even be a good example for a job in model making, painting, etc. if they applied themselves and found the right place for such a career.
It's someone who's constantly playing, being an utter rules lawyer and so on with blank figures that's REALLY sad, since then they're not even exercising a little creativity.
