Random Rants XVII: Rage Against the Machine

[salty mud]

ODST. I'm not even coming close to buying this.

This game was on my Top 5 for Christmas List. Now, I'm not even going to touch it. Why?

Because it's greatly overpriced for meager content. I will never pay 60 dollars for a 3-hour campaign, Nazi Zombies with vehicles, and three extra maps (I have all the DLC). If I did spend it, I would pick it up, beat the campaign, play Firefight a few times, and then leave it in the dustbin of unplayed video games. And considering Modern Warfare 2, Assassin's Creed 2, Mass Effect 2, and Fallout: Las Vegas are coming out soon, my money is better spent elsewhere.

Never in my life have I seen an expansion pack that is so much more than the game until these greedy bastards.

Do what I'm doing, and play solo legendary. The challenge is great, and it lasts a LOT longer than three hours.

Even if you rush, the campaign is longer than three hours anyway, so slight exaggeration.

The weirdest thing ever happened today at lunch. Some high chick came over to me, put her hand on my shoulder, said "That pizza's mine, I need it. I'm a big freshman" in a slurred voice, then took my slice of pizza and walked out of the cafeteria.

 

[choxorn]

Why did you not kick her ass? No one gets away with stealing pizza.

 

[Zack]

Because:

1) She's a girl.
2) I was in too much shock.
3) She was walking out of the cafeteria at a rapid pace.
4) I thought for a second that she was mentally ******** for a second, and I don't have the heart to beat up mentally challenged kids.

Band-aid bonded to arm hair.

Bad when pulled off.

Some jerkass put a WAD of gum on the bus aisle and I stepped in it and now it's stuck in my carpet.

Mom just left for the weekend so it's just me and my stepdad. Poor carpet.

 

[Veritass]

Freeze the gum to make it less sticky (put ice on it or spray with cold spray). It can then be scraped or cut out of the carpet much more easily.

 

[Synobun]

I'm still sick.

 

[really]

Lisbon, Lisbon, Lisbon.

My history teacher's news quizzes have the most bullcrap grading I have ever seen. She doesn't grade them on whether you get the gist of the news. She doesn't grade you on whether the descriptions are fitting or not. Do you want to know what she grades you on?

Whether the title is regurgitated onto the paper exactly as she gave it to you or not. Yes. Even if one little capitalization error is on your paper or you alter one word and it still means the same, you don't get credit. For example, I got points taken off for using a slash instead of a comma. BULL.

And for the Annie Le story, she took off points because I put down "Body Found at Yale" instead of "Body Found in Yale". And "EEE in NH" doesn't fly with her. It's "EEE Strikes NH".

Oh. But none of these even amount to the most bull I have ever had as a grade. I got no credit for the California Wildfires story because... *gasp* I SAID WILDFIRES INSTEAD OF WILDFIRE. I didn't know that was so goddamn important. The most microscopic goddamn material is apparently grounds to be taken off. I understand that you want us to pay attention to spelling and grammar. But we spelled it correctly. We had good grammar. So quit being such an anal-retentive mingebag about it, realize that we get the news stories, and give us full credit.

I saw on CNN this morning that there was a new iphone or internet program that allowed iphone and blackberry users to go to a special application or website to gather information on potential dates, such as criminal records, sex offences, and of course, horoscope information.

All the more reason for me to avoid the dating scene.

Damn, you have some real douchebags for teachers. How can people like this even get the job?

Well, how many sex offences do you have racked up so far?

 

[Kerozine]

Season 6 Ep. 2 of The Office (US) was pretty boring.

 

[PlutonianEmpire]

None.

 

[Truronian]

Got supsrised by Jehovah's witnesses at the front door... my arguments countering their intelligent design arguments were weak. Of course, as soon as they left I suddenly thought of a load a solid counterpoints.

CFC has dulled my retort reflexes.

 

[Synobun]

None.

Then what are you worried about?

 

[Kozmos]

Mah woman is sick...

 

[Ansar]

Woke up at 11 am ... got a lot of work to do <_>

 

[Joecoolyo]

I've got a really bad cold.....
