[RANT] [VULGARS] Losers

03 Jan 09

They are everywhere! No I don't mean those who loses at some scissors-paper-stone games or whatever, its more of the SORE losers people that I'm kind of getting frustrated of.

Before starting this rant, I'm going to say that I myself is sometimes a sore loser too but don't go saying "OMG your a sore loser too, what gives you the right to complain about others!!11!"
Well this is my blog, so I do have the rights :)


What does sore loser means? It means Behavior that includes reacting immaturely or improperly, making excuses for their loss, referring to unfavorable conditions or other petty issues.

So looking at this explanation, I can say that I myself is one, cause I would complain about the smallest disadvantage or even make up one up when there isn't any. And often after all the complaints and I have calmed down, I would ask myself, "Why did I do that? Its kinda 'sore'."

Well actually I'm going to focus more on sore losers on Gaming. You can see lots of different examples on the internet, people throwing the controllers (worse when it is not theirs), screaming at the victor insulting him. The list goes on.


Of course, I have met a lot of these sore losers and even being one myself in games. Like when I played DotA, I can really see some people who are just so "focused" on winning that they will totally lose it if they do lose.

The minor execuses/reply when they lost would be normally be related to the victor hacking: "You map-hack!", "How did you know I'm there? Your team hacks?"
Well, that doesn't really annoy me... maybe a bit as all your hard work in successfully killed your opponent, turns to a debate of whether you hack or not.

But what really annoys and even angers me are those who started insulting... I actually could accept "Fuck you!" as kind of like a modern way of saying "Oh damn you!"
But... IS THERE A NEED TO INSULT PEOPLE MUM! I despise those who started to insult the player's mother or family.

What the heck? Did our mothers play the game and beat your asses? No, what you losers are doing are kind of like "Omg you win me in a card game, I will go shoot your mum for no reason!"

Seriously people, whatever you want to insult, direct it to the player him/herself, not their family.

=======================================================================

And now for the most recent incident, pretty much what makes me want to write this here.

Left 4 Dead. What a great game. A game totally focus on Co-Op and it totally rocks my life so hard that I created an alter ego "Akunagi" (Its AKuNaGi, -.- stop calling me AKunAgi"

But like every great game, the fun experience have to be destroyed by sore losers. There's no insulting in my incident and I have not seen any swearing YET and hopeful never.

What I'm annoyed is the behaviour of the opposition team I faced. And also I found out the game has a stupid feature.
If you have not played this game, you probably do not know what I'm talking about but I will try to elaborate on the 'sore loser' actions.

So heres how it goes,

On a nice cool evening, I was using my lovely computer, chatting on the ever-so great internet..... Okay no more nonsense...

Part 1 - The Starting
I went into a game, Versus mode 8 v 8. I was on the Survivor team (which is HUMANS with GUNS) and the opposition team are of course the Infected (which is ZOMBIES.. RAWRR).

And so the game goes on and we reach the safehouse (The place to win) with everyone alive and also pretty much to the frustration of the opposition.


And now what happens next is what I think the 'fire-starter' of the whole incident.

It is now the opposition team's turn to be Survivor and my team to be Infected. All went well, and they seems to be able to reach the safehouse until some idiot of their team went to hit the CAR (some trigger that says YOU IDIOT WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE) And all hell broke loose.
We took advantage of the increasing amount of infected and manages to kill everyone of the opposition team.

Haha 1k pts to us and 100 to them.

Yes I know nothing has happen yet. Just keep reading.

Part 2 - Retarded-ness starts
On the second round, once again we are the Survivor and I thought "Lets have another great run and win this" And so we did, ran all the way to the subway (Kind of like the 50% of the level) and all of the sudden, the opposition changed the difficulty to EXPERT.

We were caught on surprise as suddenly the damage did to us increased so dramatically that we died. Of course I was angry and asked why did they changed the difficulty, my teammate was saying "So now you guys want to play like this?"
What they responded was pathetic, "Lol you guys die so fast?"

For people who don't know about the game, What they did is to suddenly change the difficulty of the game to the most extreme without the permission of the our team, causing the immediate defeat of our team.

Revenge is all over our mind now. Their turn to be Survivors. We pretty much changed the difficulty to the most extreme as soon as they walked out of their starting point. Owned. Just 2% of the level travelled and they killed by us.

What was their response? 2 of them left the game (Which is half of the team) And the host accused us of being sore losers... well maybe we are but it would not happen if you didn't start first.

Okay before I get to Part 3, I have to complain about a stupid feature in L4D. Why is the Infected team allowed to change the difficulty without the permission of the Survivors when the Infected could just change to Expert and kill everyone.
Speaking of that. Survivors could change it to Easy without permission of Infected and shift the advantage to them. Work on it, Valve!

Part 3 - "Sore" Response

3 v 4. A 1 man disadvantage to my team. But nothing we can't handle. We completed the map barely alive but still we did complete the whole round.

And now Opposition turn to be Survivor and try to run through the map. But now a horrible thing happen, my teammate has to leave, 2 v 3+1AI. Personally I feel that 3 is the minimum number of players to be in the Infected team for us to have a 50-50 chance of winning.

But its alright. 2 v 3+1AI. I would still take them on and so will my teammate. Under carefully planning, we managed to kill one of their team members and they started to call each other noobs.
Moments later I got another one down. 2 v 2. Haha we have a great chance of winning.

And undoubtedly, my teammate and I killed the 2 remaining Survivors. But before we have the time to celebrate and congratulate each other for our great work.

The host close down the server without warning when we still have 2 maps 4 rounds to go! What the heck?

You might say that maybe he disconnected/crashed, No. I have seen DC/crash servers. I know he closed it.
"Maybe he wants to go shit in the toliet or whatever" Maybe he could have warn us like every host I have played with does.

People, this is ridiculous reaction from the host and their frequent insult against one another in their own team is pathetic. Please dont't be like them or I will be swearing my ass at you.


Thank you for reading and BYE.

Football, your career?

04 May 08

Ya ya, I know that I said that the next post probably be on video voice-overs but Hey, I said "probably" =P


Anyway, let's talk about football today and of course with a bit of my rants.

Many people in the world loves football, some lucky dudes play football as their careers and earns lots each week.

But here in Singapore, football as our career? In my opinion, if you want football as your career in Singapore, you must be either stupid or freaking rich already. Tho. I have no idea exactly how much a S-League player earns, its said to be pretty low... few hundred bucks per week?

Now I'm not saying, "Stop playing football and get a job!" I'm just saying that its pretty sad for us not to be able to be like the people in Europe; Play their favourite sport and do not need to fear about having no money for food.

I remember in the Chinese Oral, the topic was about Singapore's Sport. I did quite badly to be honest, and when I went home to reflect on what I should have said, this came out,
"Being able to actually focus on sport when you're older is pretty difficult, you have to worry about getting money for your next meal and bills. In Singapore, being able to have your favourite sport as your career is probably like winning a lottery."

Okay.. enough with that, I'm getting depressed by thinking that I won't have time for football when I'm older.


Let's talk about other things of football.

I found this video on youtube. It's a Nike ad featuring lots of famous players who wears Nike products. Enjoy!



If you have no damn idea of what the video is trying to say, its about YOU.
YOU play for a small team in a little match and a big manager spotted your talent and decided to sign YOU.
So YOU went to play your first match as a sub and kinda let C.Ronaldo scored against YOU. YOU are frustrated and decided to train up.
At the next match, YOU scored!  Gain fame, got a hottie and screw'd up. 
Against Inter and Barca, YOU screw'd up again. Train up, play prank on teammate and vomit.
YOU then represent your national team, which is Holland in the video, then got tackled down and it all went back to the freekick.

So summary for the video, Buy Nike Products and YOU can be that good too.

Probably one of the best commercials I have seen, the way its filmed and such.
Nike must be super rich to hire so many "Superstars" just for this commercial.
Well, there isn't a need for "Nike must be rich!" Nike is rich =D Just look at the amount of totally random commercial they made. And Eric Cantona really loves to be in them ^^



Rant Time! If you hate to read rant, you can close the browser now or go to the Tagboard to tag.



Yea, I know I suck at Football. But I hate nothing more than being given a "black face" when I'm playing. And when I mean "playing", I mean as an outfield player not a goalkeeper.
Some keep saying, "He (ME) sucks at this, he sucks at that. He should go be the keeper." Yea, I suck but putting me as a goalkeeper is a ridicious decision.

I was wondering, 10 outfield players, 1 GoalKeeper. 
When I screw'd up at one spot of the ten spot at the outfield, there's got to be someone who can cover for me.
But when I screw'd up as GK infront of goal, who could cover up for me?

The answer? No one. It'll be a goal and then the celebration begins and I'm going to get "black face-ed" for the rest of the match.


There's one time where I'm playing as the GK. And man it was frustrating.
I had 3 to 4 opponents in my box (Semi circle) and how many defenders do I have? Probably only 2, one covering, another just outside the box. The rest? Right upfront being the "Manager" shouting for us to do this and do that.

I mean its stupid. I got blamed for not been "good" at goalkeeping when there's 4 players playing monkey with me ALONE. Of course, I got "forced" to sub-out by the same defender that didn't help much.
"Forced" as in I'm just too kind to say "NO, you didn't help much, you should be the one getting sub-out"


I got to be stop being a kind dude who just refuse to voice out that they are wrong or hurt someone feelings by saying "You suck" directly or indirectly cause only one or two is being kind to me now.


There's also peeps who wanted me to improve on this or that skill of an outfield player. Yea, I know they meant well and I'm thankful for that. 
But I was thinking, how the hell am I going to improve when I had to play as a GK to actually get into the "Next Team"?

There was this answer to tell me to practise at home... -.-
Yea of course I can practise some stuffs at home, but how the heck I practise "shield the ball" or running past SOMEONE at home when I had no siblings. I should get Casper the friendly ghost to play with me.

Rant End.

So yea, I feel better ranting it all out. Yea, some might thinking I'm whining and so be it. Keep thinking cause I really can't be bothered anymore. Its my blog, I have the freedom to rant/whine and you have the freedom to NOT READ IT.

BYE anyway.

Hello! Meh... Well I actually did not feel like blogging today but I came across a really funny old news just now and I feel that I really must share it with whoever that read this.

Its about Nintendo Wii Zapper. If you do not know what's Wii Zapper, its actually a case/shell to place in the Wii-mote and Nunchuk to look like a gun.... right, tell me if it looks like a gun --->

If you feel that it looks like a gun, go bang your head 10 times then look again.

So, the news is about Parents angry about Wii Zapper. So here's three comment from them... from the news, Link.

I laughed so hard after reading them. Okay, first of all to every single comment, WHY complain about toy guns NOW when they are already out at the market when these Parents were kids. These Parents who complained, were probably playing with water guns or those with small metal balls when they were young too unless they were all nerds studying at home.
Come on think about it, which is more dangerous? A remote case which hardly looks like a gun or A gun with small metal balls which actually hurts/kills people when misused.
---------------------------------------------------------------------

1)"Great, this is what we need, Children with guns learning how to aim and shoot. Then we can sit back and wonder what is happening to our country with kids killing kids......what's next? Could we make it squirt blood, too?"


1) So these Parents are saying that Wii Zapper is trying to teach children how to aim and shoot. Gosh! Aiming? I could practice aiming with my pen or staple. The Wii Zapper does not even have recoil to properly simulate actual gunfiring. Watergun or Metalballs gun could teach children that, with real projectiles coming out of the gun and really hitting REAL people or killing other kids like what that 1)Parent said. Why doesn't anyone complain about waterguns? 

All Wii Zapper can hit are stupid zombies in your TV, no one will ever get hurt with Wii Zapper, how can it hurt you? With infared ray? Well, of
course unless you throw the whole Zapper onto someone, but thats a different story.
---------------------------------------------------------------------

2)"....Why don't they enclose an application to the NRA (National Rifle Association) in every box as well. The marketing person who came up with this brain child of an idea should be fired."

2) I really do not know what to say about this. Its just pure silly. Right... they should just enclose an application to the NRA in every box like all the Light Guns in the arcade, Playstation's gun which really LOOKS like a gun and probably all the toy guns that go "pew pew" and water guns.
---------------------------------------------------------------------

3)"I think it's irresponsible for Wii to come out with a controller that looks like a gun so kids can play games simulating shooting. What kind of message are we sending as parents when we buy these things for our kids."

3) I think its irresponsible for Wii to come out with a controller that looks so NOT like a gun. That Parent probably had bang his/her head 10 times. Like I said, there are lots of Light Guns in the arcade which really looks like a gun, remember Time Crisis, Ghost Squad, House of the Dead? Why didn't the parents complain about them?

About kids playing games simulating shooting, just to point out in case you didn't realise, almost every shooting guns which includes blood and shooting human made out of pixels are rated as Mature.. hardly ever will it be rated for EVERYONE.
So how does these kids get these games? By hook or crook? Or by silly parents who can't read the label M and then started complaining when they realised their own stupidity?

"What kind of message are we sending as parents when we buy these things for our kids." 
 This is the most stupid complaint I ever heard, just three words, "DON'T BUY IT" no one is pointing a Wii Zapper at you. And I'm most certain that you won't be frightened when someone tried to rob you with a Wii Zapper, he's courting death with that.
---------------------------------------------------------------------

I really wish that these parents spend more time on protesting of the sales of REAL guns that actually kills than complaining about a plastic case which hardly looks like a gun.

Look at all these other Light Guns that was made in the past years, they look so much real than Wii Zapper.

See? So how will a totally disfigured gun like Wii Zapper will make your child feel like killing? Blame it on your poor parenting skills.
Oh and here is something really shocking man.

All these are AirGuns, don't they just look so real? And they actually HURT people. And if I'm not wrong, they cost more than Wii Zapper.

Well, come to think of it, its probably a scheme of some company which wants to sabotage Nintendo, probably a company which sells console too.... whooo conspiracy

Man I really know how to write a long rant. OK BYE!
