The following is based on a true story. The names have been changed to protect the assholes...or to avoid possible liability issues which is fucking stupid. Cue the Law and Order TV theme I was too lazy to embed.
I was a member of a site that tracks gaming stats. They even have an Xbox One app. However, the site is run by a bunch of unprofessional pricks that refuse to admit when they're wrong, let their buddies do whatever they want, and block you from tracking for no reason whatsoever. Yes, it's an Xbox app, and they can block you from using it for no fucking reason that has anything to do with your actual stats or tracking them. Arguably, they fit in perfectly with Microsoft's current enforcement assholes who can ban you from accessing XBL entirely, including digital content you fucking paid for, just because people don't approve of your gamertag, bio, or the way you communicate.
Looking for specifics? Aye! Story time, mates! Let's call the site TrueAssholes. The owner actually had the ego to call himself TrueAsshole. I used to get warned and banned from the forums, sometimes without any notification whatsoever indicating why or for how long. Most times, I heard some shit about how they want it PG-13 posting. First off, there aren't any 13 year olds on there with half a million fucking gamerscore unless they modded the shit. Second, the site owner's drinking buddy, SpitCup, gets to use FUCK 5 times in one post and that's bloody marvelous. He acts like just as much of an asshole as I do, but he's immune to rules. I've heard stories that when he first became staff he deleted like 50 users that annoyed him, but he's still staff.
Other people get away with shit too. The hammer only comes down on the people the staff doesn't like or consider insignificant. One guy was posting nasty shit about my friend's wife, but he's still allowed on the fucking site. Not only that, but a staffer named CockKickNinJackOff essentially threatened my friend with site removal over the incident, which he wasn't even a fucking part of. Oh. did he have to moderate his friend because he was out of line? Poor baby.
Another thing I noticed is that anytime someone starts a thread about getting a group together for this game or that game, it's immediately shutdown directing people to use the site's built-in session features, usually by SpitCup, but I found one asshole who's above that treatment as well. NecrophiliacApe has been allowed to keep a complete bullshit thread running for like a year now for "helping" people complete Halo MCC on LASO. The jackass has a complete bullshit list of hoops to jump through if you even want an invite from him, and people have to post some nonsensical shit to prove they read his fucking terms of service. This could easily be done through the site's session feature using the option to allow users to apply for the session and asking them to type stupid shit in the form. However, any suggestion of doing this is met with your post being deleted.
Another prime example of the staff being pricks is the competition they hold all year. It's technically only hosted by them, but everything about it is handled by the site. A friend was telling me that he came in 2nd one year because he was unable to login to the site to request an update of his stats, and the staff flat out refused to force a scan on him when his teammates asked. This is something we all know the staff can do. I don't know who won that year, but I bet they're friends with the staff. Funny how any suggestion of automatically forcing a scan on everyone in the competition when each period ends, even if only the final few months when it's like 50 teams, is met with nothing but lame excuses. They talk big about keeping things fair, but a little thing that would definitely make things more fair is too much work.
The past week or so has been particularly entertaining. You may have seen one of the highlights in a prior blog post. First, I was banned from the forums yet again. This time it was because of an over-sensitive staffer I hadn't dealt with before, but he instantly proved he was an asshole. The main post that did the job was something like "I express myself in my own way. Not my fault if people are too stupid or too fucking sensitive to see my point." btw, using one instance of the word FUCK is actually allowed in a PG-13 movie, so by their terms, I should've been fine using it once per post. Technically I didn't attack or flame anyone directly in that post either nor the comment I made on a boosting session around the same time. I told the idiot who created the session that he flooded my email with sessions that should've been marked private if they're only for his friends, and the game servers weren't working anyway. I said "Nice fucking job." I didn't call him an asshole. At least, I don't think I did. That was like 2 weeks ago. So I was removed from the forums. Fine. Way to prove my original point that people are too fucking sensitive.
It didn't end there though. This staff, BitchPotty crossed a line. He removed my status claiming it was a "callout." Yet, I wasn't calling out anyone, and it wasn't about a registered member of the site. I said if anyone runs into this guy on Xbox, "don't help the bastard." Yet, the 2nd staffer I contacted tried to come up with a lame excuse to back up his buddy. He claimed they have to remove anything "potentially liable." I didn't call his mother fat or accuse him of fucking farm animals. Is saying not to vote for Trump (with no reason attached) a fucking "callout" too? BULLSHIT.
Obviously, this pisses me off, and I blogged about it. Then I set my status to say "Someone should inform the genius running the competition that he would have a lot less stupid questions to deal with and teams to keep posting stats, bonuses etc, for manually every week if he'd actually make the competition you know COMPETITIVE instead of trying to include all the casuals." Again, not really a callout. I merely suggested someone forward my opinion to the asshole, since I can't post and he ignores anything I say anyway because it offends his delicate sense of etiquette. Every time anyone suggests any changes to the competition, the fucking asshole moans about how much work it is to deal with all the idiots asking questions about things, getting everyone's stats posted, bonuses verified, etc. Well, if he didn't try to include all the useless fucks who barely score, he'd have a lot less n00bs to deal with, wouldn't he?
Now, the staff could've admitted they were wrong, muted me to keep me from saying anything else on site, or just left me the fuck alone. They chose option D, being dickheads and completely removing my fucking account. I got no email from the chickenshit who did it even trying to justify it. Nothing. This, from a site that has a legitimate app on Xbox One, which they just blocked my access to by removing me from the site. Real fucking professional.
Took about 6 months to get an answer, and they didn't even explain the logic in turning down my offer of PAYING $60/year (Pro Membership) to scan me while completely muted on the site.

Fuck the Election
Am I the only one tired of this bullshit? These assholes spend millions of fuckin dollars trying to get people to vote for them, and nothing ever changes anyway. You're choosing between 2 piles of shit. Actually, it's currently about 6 piles of shit because we're still doing "primaries." This is another completely idiotic thing. You need to go vote for the person you want before you can vote for them. HUH? Voting for the asshole once isn't enough? Apparently, not. Why don't they all just run and be done with it? Nope, we have to narrow it down to 2 of these idiots. Then, in order to vote, you have to be "registered." A drivers license or SS card should be all the fucking registration you need. Fuck registering for something most people only bother to do every 4 years anyway. What kind of asshole came up with that shit?
Then you essentially have to choose a side. Nobody looks at the candidates for what they are. It's either Republican or Democrat. Where's the "I think Washington is drowning in a sea of it's own bullshit" option? Fuck both parties. The Democrats refuse to leave the 2nd amendment the fuck alone. They'll forever fuck over gun owners. The Republicans are so preachy and faith driven they should be running for pope, not president. Stop trying to ram your fucking beliefs down everyone's throats, and respect the separation of church and state. That means your fucking 10 commandments and other religious shit doesn't belong on government property, in government institutions, etc. and laws should be based on logic and fucking reason, not your anti-freedom, anti-abortion, anti-homo agenda. That also means no fucking exemptions for bullshit beliefs. The law should apply to everyone or nobody at all. No excuses. No exemptions. Fuck your religion.
Why the fuck are liquor store owners still not allowed to CHOOSE to be open on Sunday morning or open a store/bar within a certain distance a church? Fucking bible thumpers. Why is prostitution illegal? Bible thumpers. Like George Carlin always said, "Selling is legal. Fucking is legal. Why isn't selling fucking legal?" It really is that simple. A woman should have a right to do what she wants with her own body, including selling fucking access.
How do so many unreasonable, illogical, and unconstitutional laws get passed? Because nobody is impartial or logical about it, and they don't have to go through any scrutiny. They just get all their cronies to vote their shit in no matter how ridiculous it is. Then people have to fight it to the supreme court to get rid of it. Now there's an open seat on there and everyone is fighting over who's going to get it. It's not about the person, it's about what party the represent. Will they fuck over gun owners or atheists? Religious privilege in this country needs to fucking stop, and the 2nd amendment needs to stop being restricted and shit on.
Clint Eastwood should've run instead of just writing bullshit war movies the past 10 years. Can you imagine Dirty Harry as president? Hell yeah. Of course, then everyone acts like it's so important who's in the oval office. That idiot in that office can only do so much while the same fucking assholes sit in congress, senate, etc term after term because stupid motherfuckers keep voting them back in.
So go vote. Go to the stupid rallies. I'll sit here and play Xbox, and you all can vote in the next group of assholes.

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.

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.

Fuck Dating Sites - Redux
Valentine's Day is approaching once again, and it looks like I'll be spending yet another year alone. I'm certainly grateful for the one relationship I did have. Still, it was 2 months out of all these years. Sometimes I wish I was a regular idiot who could just work long hours, meet women, and find a wife. I'm different though. I hate normal society. I don't get out and meet others easily. I'm a shut in. Stupid people and stupid rules piss me off. Excessively busy people piss me off. Overly religious people piss me off. All I've ever really wanted was a good woman. I never dreamed of some bullshit special career. I look at the world a little differently. Maybe I'm an asshole, but I'm still a good guy.
Am I really that picky? My ex was 200lbs and 5 years older than me, but she was gorgeous. Smokers are a bit of a turn off, especially with my health already being less than 100%. Anyone who looks like they have a membership with the piercing of the month club is also a definite turn off, along with anyone who can't go 5 minutes without talking about their deity. If you wake me up on Sunday morning, it better be for breakfast or sex. Either way, I expect to be eating something.
It's extremely rare to find someone on a dating site that even interests me because most are "very serious" about their religion and church, working multiple jobs PLUS in college/grad school (excessively busy), health nuts, or sports fanatics. Plus, all the cute ones are from Pittsburgh! Fuck Pittsburgh! Fuck the sports teams, fuck the traffic, fuck the parking garages with low ceilings, and fuck that bitch from the National Weather Service in Pittsburgh who doesn't even know how to say "Pittsburgh!" WTF is so great about going to watch some stupid game played by assholes who make more in a year than you'll probably make in a lifetime, and probably freezing your ass off or roasting in the sun????
Do normal/boring women exist anymore? Why does everyone need multiple degrees and a goddamn Masters nowadays? Can you really find nothing better to do than spend half your goddamn life in school!? It's funny I seem to get along better with women older than me. My best friend and my ex are both 4-5 years older. My ex was a nurse. She worked 3 days a week (8-9 hours), made decent money, and had plenty of time to do whatever the fuck she wanted... like traveling, and riding me 3-4 times a day. lol
I don't get it. Well, I sort of get it, but it's bullshit. When I was younger, I tried the college thing and worked a bit. At that age, money doesn't matter much. I was quiet and shy and never got out much. I'm not outgoing. When people talk to me, I talk. Otherwise, I don't really have shit to say. I went to a boring local college, worked a couple jobs, and got pissed off because I never met anyone. Anyone I did meet ended up a friend. Don't get me wrong, I have some awesome friends. The point is I'm terrible at meeting women and always will be. At this age, now money is an issue. I mean, I always have some cash, but I don't work. I don't have some lame ass 9-5 career that pays big bucks. I have neck and back problems from a car accident a while back. Hell, I had my appendix out in 2011 and they found a damn tumor in it. Which means, on top of my busy, exciting life, I also got to keep getting poked and scanned the past few years. Nothing's really come of it, besides getting more used to blood work. I also have gallstones now, so shit just keeps going downhill the older I get.
I never got my own place because I didn't need one that bad. I couldn't meet anyone, so I'd just be sitting there alone playing video games. I can do that sitting here on the farm, and it's a hell of a lot cheaper. The internet access sucks, but Verizon swears FIOS is coming soon. I also have to put up with two assholes, one of which insists on treating me like I'm 16 forever, but I digress. I'm a nice guy. I'm honest, kind, and caring. I'm generally polite, but I don't censor myself. That should be pretty obvious. I'm not religious. I'm not registered to vote. I don't watch sports, but I like sports movies. I could watch those all day long. Fuck the real thing though. Did I mention I don't censor myself? I don't smoke, and I rarely drink. I guess I use enough 4 letter words to make up for not doing the other 2.
