Thomas Hobbes was ultimately right.

Most of those ideas punish innocent people to varying degrees which is why I dislike quite a few of them. Most drastic of which is the total end of online anonymity. I prefer more in the background solutions that innocent people probably won't be touched by.
An example I like would be say you're using playstation network, and you get muted by players more often than the average person (won't count if everyone in the game you're in was muted since some people just mute everybody), then you would default to being muted to everyone in-game. Along with that you gain the ability to send PMs only to friends, you can still send out friend requests, but you can't tell a woman that she's a cunt or something without sending a friend request first.
Although even better is education on how to deal with trolls/assholes online, because quite a few people have no idea what to do.
metal sucks
I agree, plastic is far superior. :v:
But honestly I personally don't mind metal that much, in fact I like it to a certain extent.
What irritates me is the kind of metal where the singer is just screaming at the top of his lungs in a really harsh voice the entire time, not sure what's that called.
Some of those are tolerable, but most are just annoying.

and only good bread is brown bread, white sucks a dick.[/QUOTE]
In my experience, white taste loads better, but also crumbles like a potato chip in a clenched fist if you spread peanut butter on it. So I usually prefer brown 'cause who the hell eats bread by itself anyway?

Shame a lot of the metal megathread in the music section is mostly about the grungy/death/otherwise ridiculously heavy metal. You can usually tell if it's going to be [I]that[/I] metal if the the band's logo is impossible to read and/or if the album art has that dark/emo styles or is just plain ol' gorey. As much as this sounds like a whiny kid who just discovered their parents' CD collection, '70s and '80s metal sounds much better. They usually have a bit of a catchy tune when done right.
[editline]And at the risk of sounding like a scrub, there is the album Rocka Rolla that I prefer. But that's more like rock than metal.[/editline]
No, Spotify, I don't want to check out yet another viking metal band.
The only metal group I like are Rage Against the Machine

Seriously though, that riff is pretty damn great
so far, I'm not too impressed with Borderlands the Pre-sequel, I really don't think it deserves the praise it's been getting. I know there have been pros and cons to the game but this is just ridiculously bad right now where I'm at. I'm hoping I will beat the game soon because I spent over a 100 bucks for two copies of the game and I am gaddamn finishing it. It DOES NOT deserve to have this such high of a price. Gearbox, you disappointed me you fat lazy king. :C
[QUOTE=RenegadeCop;46393966]Is it Borderlands 2 except with a different name?[/QUOTE]
It's not even Borderlands 2; it really feels like a project thrown together at the last minute by a bunch of kids nearing the beginning of summer break.
[QUOTE=RenegadeCop;46393966]Is it Borderlands 2 except with a different name?[/QUOTE]
It was never going to be anything besides more of the same, so that isn't really too valid a criticism. It's not Borderlands 3.

It wasn't Gearbox this time (thankfully), it was 2K Australia, hence all the Australian accents.

Pointless when people legitimately believe what you said and you left absolutely no hint that it was sarcastic?

Look, one of the many thousands upon thousands of people who has never been severely harassed online that thinks they're the utmost authority on bullying online.
Have you ever had your identity stolen in an attempt to disenfranchise your name? Have you ever had somebody make fake accounts on every website you frequent to spam you, impersonate you, or post nasty shit about you? Have you ever been unknowingly signed up for a bunch of spam bullshit for your skype/email because you had the [I]audacity[/I] of posting your username somewhere publically? Have you ever had somebody find out your home phone number and call you in the middle of the night and threaten you?
I've had all of this shit happen to me, and although it hasn't driven me to depression or anything like that, it's fucking [I]scary.[/I] I'm lucky that the morons trying to fuck with me aren't smart enough to DDoS me or steal my account info, seriously. Saying that the "text on screen" is harmless is an insult to people who have been severely affected by this stuff, too, so don't do that.
I usually try to keep quiet about these kind of ignorant opinions about ~cyberbullying,~ but seriously dude? Just because you've never been attacked doesn't mean it doesn't happen.
