I hate n00bs.
Then again who doesn't? Oh yeah, n00bs. Anyways, I was simply minding my own business when I saw this message on my favorite forum:
"Ok, you guys(mods)are saying how the game is just an easy way to raise post count. well, something I wanna point out. You mods are always saying how post count DOES NOT MATTER!!!!!! So, unlock the game, because post count doesnt matter."
Now, this guy is a well known spammer, especially well known as the great post reviver of '05, and was also voted the touchds Fanboy of '04 and he's proud of that title... I sent him a PM to that effect, saying that he was very hypocritical, and he should just shove it up his rear (In much nicer language of course). I also decided to add a little paragraph about the impending need for new mods at the sight, and the talk of using members. Inevitably when this comes up, Mormon and (Spammer) come up. Now mormon would make a great mod. He doesn't spam, he posts intelligently, and he's a very constant member. This guy on the other hand, is the opposite of those. I simply say that I don't know why anyone would want you for a mod, seeing as the only thing you have going for you is a high post count. I also listed a member I though would make a better mod, and the reasons why (x999x for those of you from touchds), and close the message.
A while later I notice a response"
" Shadowmarth, i dont want to get in a huge flamewar with you. you know I would make a great mod. I have been here way longer than you. So, I don't know why you should be a mod. But, I would make a better mod than you. I have done a lot for this community. Oh yeah, if this turns into a flamewar, don't foget, I have my connections with Chuddy."
Now this caused me great distress obviously. I intended no flamewar, which is why I did this through private message rather than a post. Oh, and 22 days now qualifies as "way longer than you". I never mentioned anything about me being a mod in my entire post, and in fact I have no wish to become one. Now I don't know about doing a lot for this community, but if spam is a contribution then he should be commended for his effort.
Did I mention I hate noobs?

Ahhh, the classics
by ShadowMarth03 on Comments
After a bit of boring work getting some of our pool stuff squared away, I took to the internet and one of my favorite sites, Abandonia.com, to get some of my old favorite PC games on the new computer. I imported some pretty decent stuff, including civilization II, and my favorite game of all time, X-COM: UFO Defence. When games and nostalgia meet it is very cool. I have begun killing sectoids with infinite rage...
I tried my hand at the classic Civilization II, electing to play as the Aztecs and revive a lost empire. I was doing well, until the Ghengis Khan invaded...
THEY'RE ALL WASTED!!!
If you've never played X-COM aka UFO: Enemy Unknown to the brits, then first.... WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN DOING WITH YOUR LIfE?!?!? Second, you can get it free from Abandonia.com, just look at the most popular... it's at the top.
Gamespot's own review of X-COM. A short and sweet read: X-COM Review
"If you call yourself a gamer but don't own X-COM, your collection has a more glaring gap than Ernest Borgnine's smile. Put simply, X-COM is a bona fide modern classic, standing proudly alongside Civilization and Populous as a benchmark in the evolution of strategy gaming."

The first of many other days

Well, this is my first journal entry. Mormon from touchds.com (Stormrage99 here on gamespot) got some of us to start actually using our gamespot profiles, so I figured this would be a cool thing to utilize.
Ahem... Well, I suppose I should begin talking. Anyway, I got home from a rather disappointing church camp a couple days ago. Pretty boring, Napoleon Dynamite themed... People were quoting everywhere. Quoting in the cabins, quoting in the bathrooms, quoting in the dining hall, I saw a few guys quoting themselves in the showers, and a guy quoted his pants at lunch on wednesday.
If anyone from camp is reading this... NO YOU CAN NOT HAVE MY TATER TOTS!
A rather uneventful day. Many failed attempts to download the new Battlefield 2 demo, before finally getting it, and finding a horrible problem with my catalyst driver on my iffy graphics card. I just got fed up with it and uninstalled it. It screwed up my already dysfunctional computer enough...
Dream on, Dream on, Dream on, Dream on, AAAAAAAHHHH!!!!
Thanks for giving us the journals gamespot, you run an awesome site!
