Glossary
voluptuous : Having strong sexual appeal
Ok. I bought diablo 3 yesterday. I received the original starcraft II exactly a year ago. ( 8th nov my b-day ). I recall opening starcraft II and.. well maybe the packaging is different in other countries but I don't think so. So I open SC II and read 'War is coming.. In all it's glory' ... & then on the next page depicting Kerrigan 'and all it's horror'. And for the first time the true horror of kerrigan was conveyed to me. Now I've never found infested kerrigan attractive.. I didn't even find Terran kerrigan attractive. Sure.. she had these lovely desirable purple lips in the SC II cutscene with the engagement with zeratul.. but for the most part it she never distracted me from the task at hand.
In Diablo III's packaging.. it's 'And at the end of days..' Open the next page.. 'Justice will fall'..
now before you even get there, and first of all "justice" is lame.. you see a lovely voluptuous cleavage of a girl.. and yore like "Heeey.. what's this???".. before you even hit the punchline..
Anyway.. don't have time to over-articulate and over-analyse.. converse soon my friends

I find your brief and terse syntax fairly interesting and your decision to put the glossary first ever perplexing. I am, however, left unfulfilled.

wtf does this have to do with diablo III?

What?
Ok, so to start things off, I recieved the original StarCraft II exactly one year ago. On the outside of the box there is a foldout slide which shows some of the features of the game. I open the slide, and am greeted with the words "War is coming...in all its glory...."
I then flip to the next panel, and read the words "and all its horror," overlaid on a picture of infested Kerrigan. Now I've never found infested Kerrigan attractive. It is true that I found her lips desirable in the cutscene where she duels Zeratul, but for the most part I was never distracted by her sexually when I played StarCraft II's campaign.
Now, here's what really confuses me. For reference, I bought Diablo III yesterday.
I open D3's foldout slide, and read "And at the end of days..." On the next panel: "...justice will fall..."
And then I flip to the third panel, and am hit full on in the face with the voluptuous, smooth-skinned cleavage of a girl...
And I didn't even read the punchline.

i hate reading things like this when im high takes awhile to figure out if its me to them

I'm obviously joking and in my haste didn't have time to think of a better word than page. Panel.. thank you!!
The point is gaming is about power. Sex is power. In the sense, after 'release' you experience a momentary surge of passive annihilation of the self. After inducing natural heroin you arise anew and embrace your former reality. Starcraft II is a demonstration of your individual power within the framework of nature. The computer. You're kind of literally projecting your will via the interface. Directing electrons only to coherently defeat your opponent by.. comparisons and deduction. Desire is something which causes most disposition, and makes one 'become something' in order to satisfy that desire.. I don't really know what I'm trying to convey.. until now I'd given thought to my former posts. THIS done on impulse was a relative mistake..

@farvacola
Your will. Your deliberation. But you're limited to the Starcraft II environment and only your intellectual cunning can adapt. Why do you think Pro players get so angry while losing? It's frustrating. You can't batter your computer or attack your opponent in person.. whatever

your name makes so much sense

Stop trying to over-articulate your sentences. You just sound inarticulate. Try using one 'word of the day' in each paragraph instead of failing to wrap your sentences around needlessly rich vocabulary. If you had a more developed artistry in crafting sentences you would sound pretentious. As it stands you just sound like a 7th grade student as described in that succinct poll.
Homework:
Strunk, William, Jr. 1918. The Elements of Style
King, Stephen. On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft. New York City: Scibner, 2000
The latter will be more enjoyable but the former is a richer source of information.

Absolutely this. There's not much that annoys me more than people trying to make themselves sound intelligent through their vocabulary and word choice, when in reality it's just a bunch of convoluted bullshit.

That was one of the most nonsensical pieces of writing I have ever read...especially considering it was made to explain the point of the original post and instead branches off into something else entirely. Instead of trying to sound thought provoking or whatever you were aiming for, just try to focus on getting a single idea across clearly.

OOH NO.. It's over! I've lost my audience! Spare me the defeat. But of course this is only because my post, inadvertently released the sexual repression, so consciously banished from our minds.. which tends to surface bringing out grudge and hatred unprecedented. I recall the old days of youth, unable to focus, distracted from war by the Dungeon Keeper II mistress and Lara Croft. So beyond the grasp, unreachable in my state of feeble mortality. Trying to convince my self that the deed at hand shall avail itself.. and eventuate into result of desired purpose... OK OK YOU WIN!! It was stupid to write this, I'm so sorry.. I'm a terrible SC II player.. but if only I'd concentrated on starcraft one back in the day instead of dedicating time to the ego of the Diablo II character. Something that later in time it would lose the credibility engendered... hardly relevent beyond high school. BUT your starcraft skills, will follow you forever

5/5 for mentioning dungeon keeper II and because I can't stop laughing : D

I thought the same until I read his post history. He's either one of the most dedicated trolls I've ever seen, batshit crazy, or needs to lay off of something he's taking too much of.

@arcane1129
You illicit piece of shfit..while you try and rally in pompous verbosity you only hand me more ammo to fuel my... inexorable laughter
@probe1
Though I admire your hint in the 'write' direction you seem to forget that Stephen King was an intemperate drug addict alcoholic and actually couldn't even recall writing Tommy Knockers. And while I rejoice in deflecting yore inadvertent insult, if I had desperately conventionalized my style of writing it probably would never have invoked 'emotion' to begin with.

I'm pretty sure this kid's favourite book is the dictionary

You should PM some of the writing staff and see if you can get a piece in the next Pony Tales.

Well this went to hell fast.

Ok.. before I continue. I haven't read anything for the past few hours. My previous post @probe1 and the other. I'm terribly sorry. Please I didn't mean to rally with a hostile tone. Please I don't wanna delete history but to all the mods and everyone... please I revoke that and everything. I should have the grace to say such unto yore face, in person. Ok. so that's that. I'm sorry

dichotomy : Being twofold; a classification into two opposed parts or subclasses
sublimation : (psychology) modifying the natural expression of an impulse or instinct (especially a sexual one) to one that is socially acceptable.
WHAT? Kid? I'm outraged!! I could be a prominent man for all you know. Here is my profile, I dare say see who you're dealing with! http://www.facebook.com/james.watts.7798
and the attack has nothing to do with grammar or english. The entire attack is that you don't see the 'dichotomy' at play here. The intellectual force was completely paralysed by the beautiful girl upon the diablo III box. For the act of playing starcraft II is perfect sublimation, where within our instincts are channeled into something more productive. Sexual desire and intellectual affinity are two different forces, which are almost impossible to harmonize.

This is the internet, there's always someone who can outplay your intellect. And definitely people who could trample what you think of as sexual desire into the dust.

Am I wrong? That desire distracts one from purpose? Or that desire is the ultimate result of any present purpose?
There was one question that Booda or Bhuda or whoever the flock didn't answer.. the question was 'Is there such a thing as the true self.'
That is because the self is infinitely greedy and infinitely deprived. You seem to think that every individual possesses a unique reflection of what they seek. But nature has established laws and mental impingements within the mind, just as she has established boundaries unto herself. If you were to answer every question within your mind of your CURRENT purpose, you would find that you're an inherently irrational being, merely capable of rational thought
|
hahaha you posted your facebook and I looked at it. Happy belated birthday/we have the same birthday :D! this thread is very jokes.
"true self" or something like it is a little unclear to me. Which one would i choose? there are so many things that are uniqueles me and so many things that are just human me. I have a unique essence, and even unique virtue according to zarathustra via nietzche.
Anyone who knows anything about the unknowable knows it does not translate well to language. A lot of buddhism seems to be really against preaching and teaching as if one has all the answers, and instead realzing that to look with in one can find his own answer.
SO sc2 is the less voluptious more down to business game and diablo 3 is one where a bit of distraction seems encouraged.. Actually, mostly what i took from this is you took way more from the packaging and read way more into it than i did.. but i read into other things ^^

I am.. one step away from snapping and opening up to this audience, as blind as I am. I'm going to exit from the chair and give my laptop to my nephew while he plays 4 vs 4 Starcraft II. I need to smoke a delayed dunhill light cigarette.
If I say nothing, I may save my dignity sparing myself the risk of derisive laughter... YET supress with effort the sublime notion pending explosion within my mind... If I say something, it may amplify this converse beyond any former degree of predefined limit.. throwing light upon certain subjects.. Oh grud, spare me
@meteorskunk
My thanx for the birthday wishes. Yes being a scorpio and having the birthday at the end of the year and all that...

I don't even know what the fucks going on here...

OOOO GRUD.. forgive me. Yore all right. I'm a wreck. My birthday yesterday.. and exactly a year ago I received Starcraft II as a gift. Now Diablo III. I'm supposed to be excited. I'm supposed to install it. I haven't even opened the box. I don't have time to build a character. I saw ForceStrategy give a video as to why he stopped playing D 3. But that's immaterial.. I can't invest time into a character and begin at lvl 1. I still listen to the D 2 soundtrack almost everyday. I love game OST's. I play music, even did a Diablo one tristram cover. http://www.myspace.com/pureblood777
But I'm freaking out.. This year was a write off. I achieved nothing. I suffered from an overdose / drug psychosis and admitted to a psyche ward... then went from there to this stringent lockdown military fanatatical christian rehab ( once again!! ) against my will. Thank the christ, I suffered a break down and my old man ( father ) decided to take me out... cos the christian rehab had a policy against medication. Now I've returned to the old mans house. My inventory has been restored. Though I cannot return to the city. Cape Town. My boss, however much he adores me says I must take some time to let my head cool off.
( Php programmer - for a psychometrics corporation. I write software which evaluates people and their personality ).
BUT Of my plight. Not to mention I lost my mind, having decadent drug sessions, playing SC II for unholy hours uninterrupted, somewhat ignoring work. And so I'm back home and my inventory, my laptop is backed. I seem to have infinite resources. Yet what a fool!! Bronze league I have remained and cannot overcome this.. defeated, destroyed.
And I'm back on my medication which is a mere substitute for drugs. I ride the artificial increase of mood and intensity.. joy brought about by an external substance.. and then only to diminish into the evening watching Fraisure.. too weak to play SC II with innate strength. Retiring with Diazepam to knock me out. And I only take it cos Sniper wolf did from Metal Gear Solid. I'm a wreck.. where do I find the resolution to play a SC II game and live in the present. Why is every action per minute so unbearable? I am so sorry.. no matter how courteous my speech may sound nothing can excuse how little I've achieved with my feeble claim to existence. I.. don't know. Grud I'm sorry mates

Wow, what a great blog! Please write more! Definitely not 1/5!

You know, I had initially one-starred this blog... But I actually find this whole thing rather humorous, and thus you have earned yourself a few more stars.
On an unrelated note, I happen to know a guy who, in every day conversation, actually talks with the voice that James Wat is using in this blog. I've known this guy for six years and still haven't quite been able to figure him out...

And I thought I was the only one.....

Oh God!! Fuck me twice.. what have I have done?? I'm sorry.. Good lord.. good grud.. forget everything!! I just haven't been as optimistic as I could've hope. I love starcraft II. But I just.. wish I could dedicate MY Entire life.. I don't wanna study or work again. I wanna play and consume the game!! But I just can't survive with Terran. ooh I lost so much time this year.. it was a disaster.. I just having a day. To give a summation of my crisis. I'm living with my parents.. hence the claim 'infinite resources'. But just this routine is killing me!! And bronze league.. like trapped in a brass cage, and stranded on the ladder. Thank you gentlemen.. Forgive me... I'm going to disappear for a momentary spell.. or longer than a moment..

10/10 would read again! Thanks OP; now I know what voluptuous means!

Ha ha ha "studies at Balamb Garden". 5/5 just for that!

Ok Hot_bid, drop it, I know it must be you. That or CharlieMurphy.

Reading each successive page of this blog was sublimation, wherein I achieved the realization of self actualization and left behind the old specters of degradation and humiliation, the appreciation of fornication, and the dichotomous separation of religious exultation and rational examination.
Joking aside, this blog was amusing.

@probe1
Indeed.. you are right. I will and must and need to seek help.
Psychiatrist
So let's turn to the psychiatrist. The modern healer of the mind and dementia. And as I enter their office suddenly it occurs for me that, in order to safeguard my freedom, avoiding circumvention. I must adapt a persona concealing any private thought that comes to mind. Even if involuntary or evoked by, controlling thought itself. Are thoughts external or created. I could however benefit by convincing them to give certain medication of serene tranquility that ostensibly brings me peace. A 'passive' peace escaping pain Pain brought about, either emotionally, physically, mentally or by the absence of spirituality. If you were to so much as suggest belief or faith.. it lends hint to that seed of insanity planted within the mind.
Politician
SO let's turn to the politician! I'll submit my self to my surrounding country and find purpose through national pride. Then I realize how remote and distant I am from Europe, America and China, observing the world from afar, using the powerful technology they've brought us. And in my country, to side with any faction, setting oneself against any political authority, is all the good sense of a man parachuting into an alligator farm
Priest
Let's go to a priest! I need to purge my soul of sin & depravity. Hopefully I can safeguard a ticket to some wonderful after-life. Oh but I remember who I am and admit that such a transition, would be literally impossible. Erk, knowing beyond doubt Christianity was just a constituent mechanism used to steer civilization up to this present point.

Gentlemen.. I'd like to apoligise for my impolite behaviour. After my birthday, I was depressed and had a binge or a 'session' as I call it. Knowing my morning medication brings about a better rate of accelerated perfomance, if taken orally.
I simply stole a cache of my pre-scribed methylphenidate and sniffed a large dose. I was looking forward to a grand all-nighter Starcraft II session. However the plan back-fired. For some reason, the chemical energy unleashed was diverted away from my mind, instead to the lower region of my body.. and engendered a huge boner, inexorable. With this.. I could not focus and suffered a series of defeat,, as my sense of judgement was very clouded.. but it's over. I'm lucid and clear now.
Thank grud it's over.. the last 48 hours have been hell beneath!
Forgive me.. I think this thread has perished
|
must have a pretty sad life when typing unintelligible rants actually entertains you.
|
ooo it is sad I confess.. forgive me.. without my audience nothing would be contrived to impress. I need professional help, the help of a SC II professional to school me in the art of engagement. No graceful speech can defend the weakness that I am.
ps. I finally installed Diablo III. I created character.. IT feels, quite awesome actually. I don't really know what I seek to convey in my bewildered word. I am in the twilight moment of my life, left to consider options. I wish to resume this endeavour with battle.net and beyond. Somehow though I know not how. I could return to Php programming and developement.. programming is lovely. But is it just a means to some end? an end which isn't exciting as the process itself? What is more fun, the eventual result or the present moment of work or focus? This is my weakness.. I am feeling torn apart from the current interface.. AND the some old irrational yet justified hope and desire.. to change reality by consuming a substance, and warping my perspective to something beyond human. Because my human form is too weak to operate alone
