Sin City? Sounds more like Shit City to me now. Vegas always looked so cool and different, but that doesn't seem the case anymore. One of the only places in the country still enforcing mask mandates. It's always been portrayed as a city that never sleeps, but now a lot of places have shorter hours. How long has prostitution been legal in Nevada? Still not legal in Vegas though (Clark County). FUCKING WHY? and why doesn't anyone fight that in the courts? It's the same basic women's rights argument that keeps abortion legal. "Women have the right to do what they want with their bodies." Obviously, that should include selling access to the fun parts. RIGHT? Why isn't anyone even lobbying to lower the gambling/drinking age out there all these years? Either you're an adult at 18 or you're not. You'd think they'd be all over that shit by now, especially after the hit the casinos took with lockdowns etc. Don't say it's a federal law, so is weed, and states are taking it upon themselves to legalize that (which I totally agree with).

Fuck the Fucking Olympics
Yeah, I meant to write this sooner, but I'm lazy. Why is everyone so fucking obsessed with this Olympic shit? How is any of this shit considered sports??? Who comes up with those stupid events!? Badminton, sled racing, judging people based on how they dive into a fucking pool!?!? RACE-WALKING!?!?!? They might as well be doing potato sack races for fuck sake! How bout instead of all this stupid gymnastics and ice skating, we have pole dancing? At least that would be fuckin entertaining. Has about the same athletic value as those idiot gymnasts prancing and posing for no fuckin reason. Dodgeball should be an Olympic "sport." At least that's fuckin fun. Then these idiots do nothing but train all the time. They have no lives outside that shit. All in pursuit of a fucking hunk of metal. GET A LIFE! Hell, in the US, they apparently tax the athletes on the value of their medals! Of course, they’re not solid medals anyway. The gold medals probably aren’t even 10% gold. WTF is that shit? Everybody seems to think these bullshit “games” are so important though. I don’t get it. Then this most recent Olympics is being hosted in a complete shithole country with terrible sanitation, high crime rates, and mosquitoes with fucking Zika virus everywhere. How fucking stupid do you have to be to go there in the first place? You watch. We'll be seeing reports of people that were there being fucked up or having retarded kids because of Zika and expecting everyone's fucking sympathy (not to mention tax dollars for disability).

Fuck DirextX 12
Why aren't more people complaining about this requiring Windows 10 to play certain games bullshit? We've seen it before, and it was fucking garbage last time. I gave up on PC gaming around the time Halo 2 released on PC. This was partly due to taking a liking to achievements on 360, and partly due to being completely fed up with Windows, DirectX, and Microsoft's stupid shit. When Halo 2 was released, it was one of the first games to pull that "Vista Only" shit. The hacking scene told MS to fuck off and made Halo 2 run on Windows XP anyway.
Alas, PC gaming still sucks. Once again, they're trying to tell us we need the newest Windows version to game. Someone proved that was bullshit last time when I was able to play Halo 2 on XP, so how long until someone says enough is enough and starts doing loaders/wrappers for every DirectX 12 game? If a random hacker could do it for Halo 2, how goddamn hard can it be for devs to properly support everything in the first place? I remember games that used to have the option of OpenGL and DirectX. Why not keep doing that and maximize sales by making games run on as many OSes as possible? OpenGL runs on any version of Windows, Linux, etc.
Fuck DirectX! I never had to look for an OpenGL DLL from June 2012 to get a fucking game to run! I'd swear every time I installed something I'd get some bullshit about the game or program needing a specific DirectX DLL from a specific month of the fucking year to function. Just having DirectX 8, 9, etc was never good enough. No, you need that DirectX DLL version from march 2011 for this program to function. Got that? Ok, now you need some bullshit Visual Studio runtime library that's probably 4 years old and definitely should've been included in Windows in the first fucking place. What's wrong with OpenGL? Oh, that's right. Microsoft didn't make it. Everyone has to use Microsoft's bullshit. Here's hoping Valve is on the road to ending that circle of terror. They're the only big dev that seems to care about properly running games on every OS. Hell, we should be able to find grounds to sue MS over this shit. They're trying to restrict gamers to using Win10 to game because of DirectX 12. The lack of support for these games to run on anything but Win10 is some kind of monopoly type issue, far as I'm concerned.

Fuck Your Vote
Goddamn I'm tired of this nomination and election bullshit. Fuck em all. The real problem is neither side fully respects the constitution. All they want to do is limit it and work around it to suit their own agenda. The republicans are religious nutfuck wackos that want to ram their beliefs down everyone's throats, protecting religious privilege, trying to do everything possible to block women's access to abortions and their right to do what they want with their own bodies. All the democrats want to do is scream about guns and refuse to believe any amount of laws is enough. They want to wipe their asses with the 2nd amendment. For this reason, I hope Trump wins. Either way, I think we're screwed because politicians from top to bottom won't stop squabbling over things that they shouldn't have any control over in the first place, writing laws that are outright unconstitutional and take years to even be properly challenged at the supreme court, and pushing their own beliefs and agendas over freedom, logic, and reason. How bout, you know, balancing the budget, infrastructure, etc instead of running the country into the ground while you disrespect the constitution all day long?
Then all these idiots come out of the woodwork every 4 years rallying and voting on who gets to run in the first place. The 2 party system is what's completely fucking us over. Nobody else can get a fair chance. The same assholes campaigning for these fools are the dumb motherfuckers who run out and vote straight down party lines every couple years, which puts the same bastards in congress etc every goddamn election. Then people wonder why nothing changes. Maybe because the whole country is run by a bunch of miserable old grey haired bastards on their 12th terms who couldn't agree on the color of shit, only care about their religious or anti-gun agendas, and could give a fuck less about the constitution, freedom, or the little people doing all the fucking work in this country.
Why do people have to pick and choose who gets to run and vote twice? Why can't more candidates run? Why can't the fucking parties even agree on who should run without essentially holding a pretend election before the fucking real one!? Why are people stupid enough to think their vote means jack shit in the primaries anyway? The fucking delegates/superdelegates do whatever the fuck they want in the end anyway. It's not decided by your votes, it's decided by theirs, which is fuckin stupid. Hell, Trump's own party hates him. If that's not a good reason to vote for him, I don't know what is. The whole thing is fucking sideways anyway. The true patriots never get to run. It's only the corporate dog and pony show. The media denies exposure to better candidates that aren't far enough right or left, libertarian, etc.

Fuck Your Kids
I'm sick and tired of these uptight motherfuckers who act like the internet should be censored for the sake of their kids. Fuck you, and fuck your fucking kids. The internet is a free zone. No FCC. Don't like it? Keep your inbred spawn offline until they're older. You do NOT have a right to expect Facebook, social media sites or fucking anything online to keep to a G/PG rating. Go fuck yourself. Free speech is free speech, weather you agree with which goddamn words people use to express themselves or not. If you think the worst thing your kids can see on social media sites is a few four letter words, you're fucking delusional. This is what's ruining America. People who refuse to accept the 21st century and still want to restrict others to stay within their narrow-minded beliefs of how people should talk, what should or shouldn't be open on Sundays, etc etc.
Just because something offends you, doesn't mean anyone else should give a flying fuck. I'm extremely offended by preachy people who won't stop talking about bible bullshit, but I can't bitch slap them or demand their Facebook comments be removed. I'm also offended by others being offended by pretty much anything, especially the confederate fucking flag. I'm even more offended by the pussies who keep removing the stars and bars from everything. Caving in to these over-sensitive assholes is bullshit and downright un-American. What happened to freedom?

Fuck the Oscars
Oh, tonight is the Oscars. Who gives a flying fuck? Does anyone EVER get nominated from the big box office movies 99% of the country goes to the theaters for? No. It's always bullshit movies you never fucking heard of, would never spend $10 to go see, and probably didn't even get shown in half the theaters because nobody gives a fuck about them. This year a lot of people are bitching there aren't any black actors nominated. Why doesn't anyone bitch there aren't any good movies involved in the nominations? It's a total shit show. The black actors should be happy they're not associated with that kind of shit. Star Wars broke some records last year. Did anyone from that get nominated? I fucking doubt it. Oh, the asshole that composed music for every Star Wars. Big deal. Hunger Games? Nope. Furious 7? I don't see Vinny getting nominated for any of the cool shit he does. Bryan Cranston is apparently nominated for some random shit. Give him an Oscar for Breaking Bad, motherfuckers. Fuck the Oscars. Why does anyone care?
Update: Apparently Leonardo DiCaprio finally won an Oscar. They gave him an award for some bullshit movie most people won't even bother to see...as opposed to Titanic or Catch Me If you Can, which were actually good. Like I said, fuck the Oscars.

Fuck Shipping Carriers
Yeah, this is what I'm pissed about lately. First, I'm an hour from a Gamefly warehouse. Can someone explain to me how the fuck I mailed 2 games on the 9th of this month and they didn't receive them until 10 fucking days later!?!? It's normally an overnight thing. Almost everything I've returned to Gamefly has been there the next morning. Yet, everything they mail to me takes 2 days. The fucking USPS sort facility is right there in Pittsburgh! They mail shit, it goes right to the sorting facility and on to my fucking post office to get delivered. How the fuck does that take 2 days, but me mailing to them is 1 day? Then that specific warehouse sent me a game case for one I bought last week, and that took 7 days. I didn't need the case that bad, but I needed the fucking online code inside it. I'm also waiting for the last game they sent out, which will be 3 days tomorrow. Once again, how the fuck does it take 3 days to come an hour from where it started? The shipping email tells you which warehouse it came from if it's being mailed from somewhere besides your default location, so I know it's coming from Pittsburgh. Then the assholes made me wait an entire week to have my next game shipped. I'm an hour away. I shipped the fucking thing. It's not my fault USPS is fucking useless. Get my next batch of shit shipped.
These postal and parcel bastards need to start working Sundays/weekends too. The Sunday church day bullshit mentality needs to stop already. It's the 21st century, assholes. Amazon is talking about using drones to deliver mail, and you fuckers still won't deliver on Sundays!?!?
Bullshit like Media Mail should also be a thing of the past by now. NOTHING should take more than a week to ship anywhere in the US. However, instead of speeding things up, everyone is finding new ways to fuck over the people receiving packages. Most online retailers are sticking everyone with this SmartPost and SurePost bullshit now. For those in other countries, or just living under a fucking rock, this means UPS/FedEx ships the package to your local post office for the post office to then deliver as regular mail. The problem is these fuckers ALWAYS take an extra day for no reason. I've watched tracking on more packages than I care to remember. When UPS gets a package to the regional hub here, it ends up at the local hub, on a truck and "out for delivery" by 7am the next morning. UPS's SurePost bullshit runs my packages through the same regional hub and local hub, but they're somehow incapable of getting the shit to the post office TWO FUCKING MILES AWAY before the mail carriers leave for their fucking route. I'm fairly sure my mail carrier doesn't even leave the post office until after 8am or even 9 most days. UPS can have their shit sorted and on a truck before 7am, but they can't get the shit 2 miles down the road by 8? It takes them until fucking 1pm!? For fuck sake.
Ebay and Amazon marketplace sellers need to get with the fuckin program too. I'd say at least half of them are offering First Class as their default shipping now. Anyone who still ships to me with Media Mail gets a negative at this point. Fuck em. Same goes for anyone who prints a shipping label and emails it to me, but waits 4 fucking days to actually drop the package in the mail. Fuck you too. Complete the fucking job in a timely manner.
International shipping pisses me off too, especially international Amazon sites' shipping. Will Amazon ever offer proper shipping options that are worth a shit? If I order a few games from PlayAsia, I pay $15 shipping, and I have them in 3-5 days from FedEx. My first order with Solaris for 5 games at $20 shipping arrived OVERNIGHT. Over fucking night from Japan. DHL literally flew the shit straight to Ohio and delivered it. The tracking was fun to watch there. Left Japan at 4pm today. Arrived in Ohio at 11am today. HUH? Yeah, timezones are fun sometimes. Now what I want to know is why the fuck I can't get that kind of service form Europe, or even from Canada for anywhere near the same prices. I'm not even sure I can overnight some stuff within the US for under $20. Ordering a few movies from Canadian Amazon used to cost me like $15 shipping and actually took LONGER to arrive than an order placed at Amazon UK the same fucking day, and I'm like 6 hours from the Canadian border. Figure that shit out. Amazon UK/DE always want $30+ for faster shipping too. I think I paid $30 for the 2nd fastest shipping option (5-10 days?) on Amazon.de last time, and it still took 3 fucking weeks. Then the fuckers refused to refund it. There's nobody else to order from that stocks all the same titles either.
That brings me to my other problem with international Amazon sites. The fucking bastards refuse to ship games to the US. They'll ship movies, which are also region locked, but not games. Are you fucking kidding me? Other sites in the same countries ship fucking games, but they obviously don't have the same selection Amazon does.
p.s. Fuck Chick-Fil-A. Those assholes aren't open on Sunday either. I tried it once randomly before I knew what kind of assholes run that outfit. It wasn't half bad, but I'll never go back until they start operating like a normal 21st century business.

Fuck The internet
You know. The internet used to be a fun place. Now it's just a restrictive cesspool of advertisement, spyware, and malware infested sites run by paranoid, uptight, fucking pussies. Yeah, I didn't get laid for Valentine's Day, and I'm in a shitty mood. I'm 34 now, and I've only ever had one good Valentine's Day. Here we go folks...
What the fuck happened to freedom of expression? Every staffer at every fucking site nowadays acts like they're working for the FCC. If the rampant censorship of simple words that are part of the english language and listed the same as any other word in the fucking dictionary wasn't enough, you also have the super paranoid types that are afraid to let anyone even mention piracy/modding/anything questionable no matter what the fucking context.
The paranoia doesn't stop there though. Now they're actually afraid of letting people talk about others by name. Apparently, even telling people to avoid a specific random on XBL could be libelous? WHAT THE FUCK!? Is everyone online having their vagina waxed between their sessions on the PC??? Welcome to the internet. Where men are men, women are men, and everyone is a giant fucking pussy. Why is every staffer I run into at websites so uptight they're damn near inside out!?
Shall we begin? Ok, censorship is retarded everywhere, but I'll point out some of the most retarded and most aggravating ones I know of. The official Gears of War forums always pissed me off. The characters in campaign can say "fuck" constantly, but you can't use it in the forums no matter what the context. Fuck them. It's a forum for an M rated fucking game. Oh, is this a callout? Nope. Fact. Look at their fucking website. I've seen forums censor words as simple as goddamn and retarded. RETARDED? Way to prove how retarded your fucking staff is. It's even better when the fucking asshole who wrote the bullshit custom forums doesn't have shit just auto-censored, and instead, chooses to block the post entirely until you fix it...BUT they don't tell you exactly which word is against their ridiculous policy! Amazon actually clears the post box entirely, so you have to hit the back button and hope the fuck everything you just wrote is still there!
I was on another forum a while back and said something as simple as suggesting the console/game actually deserves to get pirated, and some tool thought that was enough to violate the anti-piracy rule. Fuck off.
Now for the odd issue that sparked this rant in the first place. Callouts. No, not map locations on Halo. Pay attention. The internet definition of a callout is apparently extremely fucking vague, not to mention paranoid. My status about a week ago was a simple warning to avoid a random asshole on XBL, who is NOT registered on TA and has nothing to do with the site. Somehow telling people to avoid someone is potentially libelous?
"
The reason we have this rule is simple, we cannot allow anything potentially libelous on the site and have to remove what we find.
"
How exactly is saying to avoid someone a libelous fucking statement? I didn't say his momma is fat. I said don't help the fucking asshole boost!! Plain and simple. I didn't publicly accuse him of finger banging my cat! So if I make my status "Vote for Paul" or "Don't vote for Trump" is that a fucking callout too? Get fucking real. I might finally be on the verge of getting good internet after all these years, and it's barely worth having. I guess I can still download porn. For now.
Wait. I'm not done bitching about callouts. My experience with these bullshit callout rules actually did start with Halo, specifically Bungie.net forums. When I first got on Reach in late 2010, Bungie was still in charge (R.I.P. Halo 2011 -- fuck 343). Every firefight match I got into there were people idling for XP/rounds survived (Perfectionist commmendation). I even got host booted by some asshole who was hiding for rounds survived after I ran the piece of shit over with a ghost. Stupid bastard sent me text messages about it so I had evidence to report to MS. Anyway, there were matches of 4 player co-op I'd get in and be the only one actually playing. It was shit, and Bungie knew it. I kept track of all the assholes, since the "avoid player" feature didn't work and filing complaints for "cheating" was doing nothing. I posted a list of about 70 names and demanded they do something. They removed my post because "callouts."
Did they fix the credit payouts so it multiplied the kill bonuses and stopped giving credits just for being there? Of course not. Everyone gets a fucking trophy now. Hence, one of my problems with GTASC, but that's for another blog. They reset a few peoples' ranks. Fat lot of good that did. There was a guy who was reset 3 fucking times and STILL idled firefight!
I'm so tired of this anti-callout shit I registered TrueAssholes.com, which I hope to dedicate to allowing everyone to call out the assholes on the internet when I have time. Be on the lookout for it. Websites need to stop protecting the anonymity of anonymous online identities of anonymous fucking assholes.
