Unfortunately, I sold my copies of MW1 and MW2 a while back. Still have both Black Ops and I think MW3.

I would hope it's understood that my own comment about CoD's shit community has nothing to do with the people here. It may not even be reflective of the majority of the CoD community. Unfortunately, it only takes one or two obnoxious twunts to negatively impact one's online experience. I don't even care about campers, although killwhores on my own team for an objective game irritate me. It's mostly just the loudmouth idiots who spout off under cover of anonymity, and if they were ever in a real life combat/fight situation they'd wet their panties. Oh, and my offer to play someone's game for them still stands.

If someone wants to send me their copy, I'll give it a thorough evaluation.

I just got burned out on FPS multiplayer in general. Little things have changed, but it's still the same basic gameplay and same shit community as when I started with the original Modern Warfare.

Gah, that first one makes me sad. D:

Avengers, meh. I'm hard to please when it comes to movies.

Yerp

My favorite CoD is still the original Modern Warfare, the most memorable and enjoyable by far. Part of that though is because the CoD phenomenon didn't exist yet, or was at least in its infancy. Totally different world where it was just about playing the game, not stats or youtube vids.

How is it compared to AC 1 and AC 2? Similarish?

The second one gives me chills every time, love it. Gotta listen to the whole thing though, there are two distinct parts, the intro and the main theme.

Thanks for sharing.

There are ways to present every viewpoint in a respectful manner. I didn't see what you wrote, but if Dids edited it, I'm left to assume that it was unnecessarily antagonistic. I don't think there's anything here specific to Brony's; why the kid was bullied is irrelevant. If a bully wants to bully you, he'll find a reason. Some people are more emotionally equipped to deal with it than others. The simple fact of the matter is that not all people have the same tolerance for suffering. I don't like this particular story simply because it serves to further sensationalize the 'brony' phenomenon. Because, well, it isn't. It's nothing. It's just people who like a show. By calling themselves bronies, it somehow takes on greater meaning and contributes to their own separation from what is considered 'normal'. This has two effects. On the one hand, people who label themselves as such feel a bond with each other, feel like they are part of something, feel like they are a little bit different and special. On the other, people see the label and because it's not something they understand or are a part of, they ridicule it. As far as I'm concerned it's a cartoon with a positive message, it's well written and well done. It's geared towards girls, sure, but it's message is universal and not at all gender specific. Some males young and old like it, some don't. Some girls like GIJoe, some don't. Whatever, who the fuck cares. I loved nothing more than the Joy of Painting with Bob Ross. No one is defined by the shows they watch, unless it's child p0nr or something equally heinous. As for the broader topic of bullying, it has gone on forever, but that doesn't make it right. At the most basic human level, most of us know right from wrong. When you see a tough guy, picking on a weaker kid for his own amusement, it's fucking wrong. Don't tell the victim he needs to toughen up, pick the ass hat up and slam him on the ground.

That's some interesting stuff you got there Palle; I was particularly struck by the damaged German dog tag.

You're awesomeness knows no bounds my friend. This insolent leak will tremble before you!

Wow, I don't remember shit about BO2. I could only answer one of those, which Hector covered.

What Drifter said, it's a piece of cake. I recommend taking the time to take good pictures of your items, good lighting, clean background (even a sheet is better than a messy house in the background, not saying your house is messy, this sentence is running on now, like out of control). So, take a bunch of nice pictures, make a clear write-up, and be very specific about any and all defects. That's what'll get you a bad rating. When someone gets something with a slight ding in it, and it wasn't mentioned up front, they get pissy fast, myself included.

I always liked you Sean.

*momentarily comes out of retirement* Here's my opinion on these matters. I did not come here to have more 'freedom' and I didn't think any of us did. We came here because Auptyk was a massive cunt and the admin basically admitted he didn't give a shit about the community. That's why we're here, not because people wanted more freedom in what they could say. In general, I don't think people need to be censored; I believe the mod/admin's job is to keep things stable, not necessarily nice. It takes understanding your members and the situation. It takes diplomacy. Sometimes you'll get it right, sometimes you'll fuck up, but it's better I believe than trying to institute a strict set of rules and being naziesque about enforcing them. For example. Lepercolony and Spectre go at each other pretty intensely at times (as have Spectre and myself). However, knowing both of them as I do, I know that they can both take it as well as they can dish it. I know that neither of them will cross the 'line' and by golly, the argument will be interesting. I know that Cal, Tam, Adam, Euan, etc. like to bust balls and that it's all in good fun. I know no one's feelings are being hurt (except maybe Euan's but who cares) so let them do their thing. Not an issue. Now, where we run into problems... I watched as a young and naive forumer posted in the political section about how Obama would help the economy. I knew what was coming and said as much. Then McNasty arrived and tore into him. Had it been me or lepercolony or any number of other people, it would have been fine. Unfortunately, the person on the receiving end of McNasty's rebuttal was sensitive, young, naive, clueless—quite simply, they were in way over their head (but well-meaning in their original post). This was not a discussion amongst equals and nothing besides hurt feelings was going to come out of it. The point is that it is not so much about what is being said, but who the parties involved are. Some people can be allowed to duke it out, others must be shielded. This is moderating, literally, moderating personalities. Propping up the meek and blunting the strong so that all can harmoniously coexist. Let people run wild and eventually only the dominant personalities will remain, which is fine if that's what you want. It's not what I want.

I'll be back

You should be viewing pron when you lay down in bed.

All cats plot evil, it's totally normal.

Stop trying to be reasonable Mike, we're old, grumpy, and stubborn.

It's like the hot chick you finally scored a date with, she's fun, and hot, not so bright, but hot, the sex is awesome, and hot, she's dumb as a stump, but her ta-tas bounce when she walks—hot. So you move in together, thinking it's going to be even more hot, and...... derp two months later you can't stand the cunt, but can't get rid of her. Facebook is like moving in with someone you thought liked, but didn't really know and now you can't un-know the irritating things you've learned about them. Ignorance is preferable.

I'm glad you got it sorted man, now we just need to work on the insomnia.

I disabled my facebook account a long time ago. *high five*
