The Letting Off Steam Thread - Page 150

I FINALLY GOT A JOB! It's the worst job ever but I finally found SOMETHING. I have to drive over almost an hour to get there and I only get 5 hour shifts, the shift starts at 5am, and I only get Wed and Thurs off but this'll do till I find something better. It was getting pretty fucking grim looking there if I didn't find something soon.

I hate neglecting my friends. I want to shoot them a message, but I don't know what to talk about. I always feel awkward as fuck saying "Hi!" after 'ignoring' them for weeks. Recently, I said hi to a 'friend', and she said "Why don't I have you removed yet?" and then removed me. I feel this pressure to talk to my friends or else they will leave me but I'm either too shy or don't know what to say. I always want to call them up and be like "Hey, what's happening?" and they're always like wanting to know what I want, and I'm just like saying I wanted to say hi, and they're like "Oh... hi. Did you want to talk about something?" and then I'm like "No..." and if I ask how they are doing, it's always just "Good", "Same old", "Tired", "Hungry", "Busy" and then always ask what's up with me and I'm always like "Nothing." cuz what am I gonna say? "I went to the store to pick up some green beans and pepperonis, and I'm trying to farm enough cert points to purchase an anti-tank rocket launcher."

Sometime, I wanna just go "Tell me the story of your life." and then sit back and THEY can do all the talking, and I'll just go "I see" every half hour or so. But seriously, Kiwi, you fucking bitch, why the fuck did you remove me? Maybe my friendliness was too overwhelming!? WAS IT? If that's the case, and people are gonna do this shit, maybe I don't want their friendship if I have to entertain them with incredible interesting shit.

I also hate friendship advice.

Just don't do what I do and completely ignore your friends for so long that it's too awkward to ever talk to them again. Cause I do that every time I make a new friend, and then wonder why no one ever does anything with me

Yeah, that's pretty much how I roll.

As Nishi would say, "You still don't get it, do you?" DO YOU?

Do you get it yet?

How about now?

STILL NO!?

What is the matter with you?


"I just always loved stand-up. It's like magic. You say something, and a whole room full of people laughs together. Say something else, they laugh again. The fact that people come to see that and participate in that... I don't know, it's just like magic."

~ Dave Chappelle


Some people don't get it, but I like being funny. I just find myself constantly asking myself where everyone's sense of humor has gone to. Anywhere else, it seems like I can make people laugh, and that makes me happy, but on Teamliquid, it's so difficult to get past that initial wave of snobbishness. If it's too subtle, people think I'm serious. If it's made obvious by being silly, then it's "try-hard". Sometimes I think my sense of humor is only matched by people's ability to resist letting themselves have a little bit of fun. Nobody forces them to click a blog with my name on it, or open this spoiler. Maybe I'm just being paranoid, but I feel like I'm under a microscope sometimes, being watched. Maybe everyone else is being watched too. The fact that I feel this microscope makes me sometimes do weird stuff just to see how people will react. Sometimes the weird stuff gets too weird, and I consider to myself if I over did it. But really, no, I never feel like I crossed the line unless I did something at someone else's expense, and I've privately apologized to people for some of those lapses in judgement. The weird and humorous stuff though, I can't really apologize for because it makes me happy and makes other people happy.

Psyche.

Listen up, you stupid idiots! If you don't have a sense of humor, you can go suck a dick, and if you can't find a dick to suck, you can log onto craigslist and find someone with a dick to suck and then drive to their house to find out they're Chris Hanson, and he wants some hot oral sexual relationships with your mouth. So Hellokitty[hk] didn't like my tribute to Shauni/retirement blog? Well, I respect his opinion, but I don't really. His opinion is full of fuckbubbles and shit-covered dildos. NeuroticPsychosis thought I was too weird? Is that, in itself, a fucking joke? Luckily the waffle-man dropped an atom bomb on him. Suck a butt if you don't like my humor, or shut the fuck up.

But you know what? Let's talk about the grudgematch thread, because everyone is flipping desks over this shit. Remember family sitcoms? Well, I had no idea you were such a big fan of dick! So we had this fucking Combat-EX versus Chill thing happen, and yeah, that actually happened somehow, even though there is no way something like that could happen in this day and age, because peeps don't want to "give them more attention" and "guys, please stop all the drama, it's making me cry cuz I'm a huge pussy" but the thing is, Combat-EX sucked at StarCraft, badly. Like, worse than LastShadow. Still not as bad as Maxxy_the_shade though. I actually liked Combat's videos and learned some good stuff from them. However, his ego is out of control (which is why he is the antithesis to incontrol) so he was like "I'm really good" and Chill was like "Oh no you ain't" and decided to put the kibosh on Combat's bullshits. I mean, clearly, Combat lost to a bunch of people in the past, but the thing that made this a special occasion was that it was casted. Day[9] elevated himself from regular baller status to mega baller status (even though he won a fucking WCG thing before, but who gives a shit about that, we all know his career truly started when he made fun of a couple of angry Canadians) by blasting obnoxiousness all over the unbelievably poorly-played games.

After that, everyone was all like "I CAN BE FUNNY LIEK DAE[0]!!!!QQ!11" and forgot that you actually have to have be witty and funny and knowledgeable about StarCraft. Thus, what we had was a long string of Day[9] emulators who started using Mr. Plott's catchphrases, such as counting down the zerglings being slashed to death by dark templar, raging about "double observatory builds", and just generally trying to recreate a moment that was unique and can never be reproduced. You could never get a teamliquid top Brood War moderator to play against a notorious StarCraft villain casted by a top-level player unless 2pacalypse- challenged PassiOn/Telecom and dRaW commentated on it, but it'd still be all like "Who r these people?" cuz everyone is a bunch of fucking sell-out faggots who "switched" to other games that will not be mentioned, but you may be able to deduce which games I'm speaking of using your excellent skills of deduction.

Yet, we still try. We try our darnedest to be half as funny as Day[9], producing some of the most lamest god-awful grudgematch casts in human history, especially that one SNM did, oh god, it was so bad, and I'm not just saying that because I'm biased.

Nevertheless, the actual grudge still exists. There are always people who think they're the shit at StarCraft, and someone calls them out, and then it's on. It's just fucking on. The levels of anger rise as the arrogant guy claims he will easily win and the other guy says that the arrogant guy is very nooby and will not. That's all a grudge match in StarCraft is. There doesn't need to be genuine hatred and a want for bodily harm for the other person, or else they'd just stalk the person and stab them in the neck.

The grudgematch thread isn't SERIOUS BUSINESS, but a bunch of forum people have no fucking sense of humor and are acting like a bunch of stupid fucks, which makes me mad, because it reminds me of when I try to do something funny, and then people are like "Well, let me respond to this seriously." like if I said "Hey, let's build a giant golden pig the size of New Jersey" and someone said "I think that is incredibly unrealistic. Let's consider the logistics of this project you're proposing. How would we finance such a venture? If you don't have a plan to supply the capital necessary to begin such an undertaking, then you're foolish for even making this proposal. We seriously need less stupid people who don't think things through." JESUS CHRIST ON THE CROSS. Being "right" on the internet is so fucking important that people have resorted to 'debating' ridiculous topics that were never serious to begin with. The real reason nobody has had a grudgematch yet is because everyone is a fucking pussy. You don't have to hate each other and want to see each others deaths. You just have to want to play StarCraft with somebody, which is what you fucking do anyhow... or do you?

Acting like the thread is cancerous to the "community" is borderline human-vegetable level. You should know by the fucking title "Official Grudgematch Thread" that it's a joke to create some funny games, and if it's still not clear, the Fast and Furious picture, and if that's STILL not clear, then you should at least know that Bisudagger just likes having fun and isn't encouraging any kind of animosity, but everyone has to ruin everything by seeing something which could be hilarious and fun and then dropping their pants and taking a huge, disgusting shit all over it while laughing maniacally. The only immature people are the fucking high-and-mighty people who go "Ew, I will not participate in this filth" from their golden righteous cloud of judgement, and they need to pull the badger out of their asshole and stop being such fucking babies.

haha

Just kidding. I'm just being silly
