Social Networks

These days we people are more socially connected then we ever were. We're connected to our peers through emails, cellphones, social networks and blogs. So why do a lot of people feel really lonely or isolated during this generation? Whether it's depression or being 'alone' all the time people are often much more reclusive for some reason during this generation, even with 100+ friends on their social webpages.

So how do emails and cellphone usage contribute to this cause? Well people seem to have some unknowns urge to need to receive replies or texts to feel 'special' or 'wanted'. As a result many people seem to be lonely even though they have a lot more contacts than many of their peers. People have to understand that you don't need to be 'popular' to be social. All you have to do is enjoy life, whether it be a life of gaming or a life of hanging out. As they say life isn't about the goal it's about the journey there.

So what other ways do these types of services cause problems within our society. As a student lots of my peers often complain about not having enough time to do their assignments. However I am fairly confident that it's just because they are too busy writing their latest blog post or status. Or replying to their friends within instant messengers or texting. I feel that this is the root cause of procrastination next to the fact that the human mind just doesn't want to do such a monotonous task. Time management is a crucial skill for people to have. As a result I know that these services are actually causing our generation to be the worst at getting assignments done. While schools with programs to prevents this such as detention or something of the same category can fix this situation temporarily. There needs to be a real incentive to do homework or a strong deterrent to stop the problem of procrastination.

Another issue which I know a lot of, being a gamer, is cyberbullying. Often these individuals who join online gaming or aforementioned services will experience cyberbullying. This means that this individual is harassed through online means. While it is usually harmless anonymous individuals who feel like it might be fun to insult another player or is just plain mad at them. However, some people are not used to or take the harassment seriously, in the worst cases real individuals they know will bully them through the internet.  There's a little Facebook app that I'm aware about the application called "Honesty Box". This app lets you talk to another person with this app anonymously, as a result this lets you bully people anonymously. Sometimes leading to suicide or therapy for the victim. While this may seem obvious, if you're being harassed constantly by bullies you have to tell someone. Or even if you don't want to you can just simply stop using the internet or the social service in question. To you individuals who bully others just to make yourself feel better, if this is how you're getting self esteem; it will turn into shame and regret which will forever make yourself ashamed.

However efficient and convenient these services are there is no doubt that they are causing problems. However I'm not entirely sure whether or not the problems outweigh the positives of the internet and these services.

In every class...

Of highschool we can expect many different types of individuals. But there are these certain individuals which stick out based on their actions during class. When I say this I mean the few individuals who seem don't blend into the mosaic of faces.

Let's begin with Ask a Million Questions [AMQ] students. These students tend to ask every question or mishap during class. Any little detail they aren't 100% sure on is asked and it is quite the annoyance. So let's begin with the positives of these kind of students. Often you may be just a little behind on notes or asking yourself whether or not the question you want to ask is stupid or not. Never fear! The AMQ student will most likely decide to ask this question at one point or another. Thus, allowing you to know without asking. Another advantage/disadvantage [anomaly] is that fact that the hail of questions directed at the instructor slows down the class. As a result there's two points to discuss: 1. This lets you catch up on notes. and 2. This delays the handing out of assignments. Now I suppose if you're a slow writer that you need to catch up on notes. However, since I take notes quickly I feel that this delay in receiving the assignment really decreases the amount of time in class that I have to do the said assignment as a result, that's less time to socialize among your peers during class. There's one more positive thing about this person: when they something really obvious/stupid. [Ex. 7x7 isn't 50? Right? (me: You don't say?)] Finally, the repetition of these questions begins to bore me.

Additionally there is the individual who Randomly Laughs Annoyingly [RLA] students. These are the people who will randomly rofl or lol during class at something that is irrelevant, whether it be what the teacher has said or remembering a joke previously said. It's especially annoying when the class is currently watching a film. Any corny moments or rather subtle jokes that should rather be left 'subtle' is subject to this individuals screeching laughter. There are a few ways to take advantage of this in class though. For example knowing a surefire way to make this individual laugh can redirect attention in the classroom towards this individual. You can also use this redirected attention to do something you wouldn't normally be able to do without distraction (eg. steal you're friends pencil for lols). However the laughter of this person is almost always characteristically the most obnoxious and annoying voice you could ever possibly hear. Think 'diva' voice obnoxious. (You know the "OMG I know right" and "Whatever"  and "Did you like, you know?").

Let's not forget the Teacher's Pet [TP]. This infamous student often gets to the 'softer' side of the instructor. Often getting praise for doing literally nothing and shunned by his/her peers. However there's prizes to be had and booty to be plundered if the TC is on your side. For example if the TC is asked during class what would be a good way to teach a certain topic. The TC should (if he's on your side) choose the easiest of most entertaining way to be educated. Such as a film example or a visual group project. However is the TC is not on your side he/she may just smite you by asking for a written essay or an oral presentation. Furthermore often purposely or accidentally reminds teacher that there is homework even if only 20% of the class did it. Often however people seem to lose their morals and insult this person. Only because this individual did what was right in the first place.

Finally we have that kid who is really stupid [RS]. These individuals are often sitting in the back of class ignorant of the instructor while socializing with his/her friends. Often this individual is subject to ridicule from the other students due to his/her stupidity. Often the instructors will get impatient with this individual and either be very frustrated for the rest of the day or ignores this individual. As a result everybody is in the danger zone with the instructor for the rest of the day.

While there are more types of individuals in these classes, these are the main 'classes'. I hope you agree with me and if you do not, please voice your opinion below.

Self Esteem

For us gamers there are often a couple of jerks you'll meet along the road of life. Fratboys for instance. As a result we often go through life with a lower than normal self esteem. So let's look at some of the root causes of this reduction in self esteem. First let's begin with bullies/Jocks/or fratboys. Often these individuals seek to make your lives miserable for their own entertainment value, whether it be from parental abuse or whatnot it ends up lowering self esteem for the harassed individual. So let's represent this in gamer's point of view: the bullies are the over fed champions while your a "feeder". However, with enough confidence you can overcome this and become the "carry" of which ultimately lifts you out of this tragedy. When I say become the carry, I mean you have to ignore these individuals and set out a task for yourself to be better than these individuals. Don't stoop to their level, make them want to come up to your level.

Often the root causes however, are just being shy or not as good looking as the next person. It could even arise in a simple interest in electronics and computing when you were younger. So why should we be shunned if we just happened to be a little more socially awkward as a child? Or if we thought the computer daddy brought home when we were 4 was the coolest thing we have ever seen? I'm not sure, but  do know that we are shunned and we shouldn't let this bring us down. There are 5 different aspects before you can halt the free-fall of your self esteem. You should never hate yourself, you're this kind of person because you wanted to be, don't ever feel otherwise. Know who you are, what do you like to do? Why do you like to do it? Like yourself for being this person. Embrace who you are, feel good that the person you chose to be is the person you want to be. Never want to be someone you are not, this only helps in decreasing your self esteem. And you're the person you are the person you are for a reason, don't change that.

Consequently however, many people with these self esteem issues within the gaming society end up having problems with socializing, like being socially awkward and being more reclusive. The inability to socialize just further decreases your self esteem. Now I know one of the biggest insults people have to deal with is being labelled "geek" or "nerd". While these two terms will probably initially cause you to feel bad, know this: being nerdy or geeky is considered 'bad' just because individuals who are 'popular' probably know that they have limited futures whereas they know that you possibly could have brilliant careers where their's are total dumps as compared to yours. Consider nerds or geeks as a whole for a bit: who created windows? Apple? C++? Yeah, nerds. Hey, fratboys, without nerds you wouldn't be able to socialize and insult us using facebook and other social media! And what have you as a people accomplished? Nothing besides slowing down the ingenuity of humans by causing suicides within nerd ranks for years. Consider Einstein. nuff' said.

Lets increase self esteem! Think of it this way: bullies/jocks/fratboys tend to have an 'early game' advantage due to their attractiveness and or popularity. However, what they lack is the ability for 'late game'. At the end who gets the best life? The people who try for it, who are most often people of a higher intellectual standard. These people tend to be gamers of some sort. So move on with life. Highschool/college only lasts 4~10 years.


Cortex Command: Cortex Shock!

This new mission made by the popular mission creator of DRLFF: Weegee called Cortex Shock has been released! If you always thought cortex command itself had a pretty pointless plot [since there is very limited amounts in the vanilla content], worry no more! Weegee has a created a single player mission of a plot and entertainment value which pretty much revolutionizes the way you play Cortex Command. Basically, you choose a character out of 5 [assuming you have all appropriate modules installed]. After of which you proceed through a storyline which I believe is unique to each character. The unique PDA which you'll be using quite a bit during the course of the story is really well implemented. I feel that we weegee should be hired by Data as the campaign manager, because with incentive imagine what weegee could produce for cortex command 1.0!

League of Legends: The scum of the community.

Earlier I discussed the game League of Legends, and I said as a con was the fact that it's community was rather harsh. Well I'd like discuss the multiple reasons why I think this.

There are a couple different 'classes' of total idiots/noobs/retards/etc... In League of Legends.

Now if you want to win, you should in fact be trying to correct player's missteps. But do not make the mistake of harshly yelling insults at them. First, the player is almost 5 times more likely to listen if you suggest it rather than yelling in 'ALL CAPS RAGE'. Second, players are more likely to purposely die if there is someone on their team who is of utterly fowl language and just cusses about how much his team sucks. The people are called It's not my fault, my team just sucks[this is slightly nicer form(this is actually MY TEAM ARE FUCKING FULL OF RETARDED CUNTZ)] or in short, [MTS (my team sucks)]. While it is true that you can possibly lose games because of less skilled players, yelling at them and telling them to uninstall the game does not help in the slightest. They learn nothing, and do not gain anymore skill this way. So this directly means that MTS players are directly contributing to their own problem. Yes, if you are one of these players, your not helping yourself.

There are many variations of the MTS:

  • The All Chatter [TAC] - tells the other team how much their team sucks in an effort to make themselves feel/look better.
  • The Afker [TAFK] - sits in well until game ends, but doesn't leave so they don't receive disconnection bans.
  • The Feeder [TFED] - becomes so mad that they simply repeatedly walk into enemies just to make their team lose faster.
Generally, MTS players always blame their team for their losses and always considers themselves the best player on their team. However they are generally unskilled, and gains kills through kill stealing [however real men don't care about kill stealing]. It's even worse when they are clearly the worst player on the team. Protip: if you were actually good at this game you should be able to carry your own team.

Further more, when I say carry your team I mean do the following:
  • Don't die
  • Don't save bad players on your team
  • Attempt to save good players, only if you're sure neither of you will die
  • Ignore said bad player's gank requests unless you're sure you can get kills without any losses.
  • Gank for players you trust
  • Don't make rash or hurried decisions about engaging the enemy.
  • Only engage if you're sure you can come out ahead.
  • Buy wards, wards save lives.
MTS Players also have the tendency to cry about nobody buying wards. If nobody is buying wards, buy some yourself goddammit. Let' not forget the team comp, MTS players will choose whatever they like always then to top it off they'll say: "We need a tank/support/ap" and go on to say "No we don't need anymore AD carries!" and finally "Fuck, our team comp sucks, fucking noobs". If you need a specific role and nobody is willing to do so, do it yourself, man up and maybe you'll win some. True players choose based on the team, they shouldn't expect the team to choose based on their pick. MTS makes up the majority of the bad players in LoL.

____________________________________

We also have the plain bad people. Which I just like to call "BAD" Big Ass Derp. While these people do exist, they simply make bad decisions constantly. How I often like to imagine their brain activity: "Oh there's a bush over there! I'm going to check if there's people in there!" Who then proceeds to walk into 4 champions from the opposite team. Now these people should not be confused with people that MTS is ranting about. While it is true that at specific times MTS players are correct; that is largely not so.

BAD people are generally these people:
  • SO FUCKING OP [SFO] - these are the players that constantly go "[blank] is so fucking op, he should get nerfed" (Aka the reason Evelynn does shit all these days) [F.Y.I SFO players, in HoN there is a hero who has permanent invisibility. DEAL WITH IT]
  • JUNGLE SUCKSSS [JUNS] - the sad fact about LoL, if losing, blame jungler. These players constantly harass the jungler for a gank, only to do completely and absolutely nothing when the jungler arrives.
  • The Feeder #2 [TFED2] - These people are often asked to stop 'feeding' all they end up doing is to tell us that we complain too much. We're just pointing out that you should playing so offensively.
  • The Troll [Trolololo] - JUNGLE RALLY REVIVE SORAKA! [nuff' said]

Generally, there are more types of noobs than this, but if you want to be good. Reread the carry list and do just that. Good Luck!

Also, a video which make some pretty good points: [Just so you know, to win LoL you have to buy wardssss]

Dr Mcninja


nuff' said.

But uh anyway, this comic is about a badass ninja, named Dr Mcninja. He's a ninja who is also a doctor. It's ironic because he can kill people without being seen but he heals people. BUT ENOUGH WITH THE DRY HUMOR. This comic delivers page after page of action. Not only is the protagonist ridiculous and badass, the antagonists are equally as badass as well! The comic itself has a plot and style similar to traditional superhero comics but always has that twist that makes it all that much refreshing. If that wasn't enough during his clinical work his secretary is a gorilla. Lets also not forget his sidekick rides a raptor and the raptor is named fucking Yoshi. So why am I writing about a comic? That may be because, this comic, is what a video game should be. Full of action, full of plot and full of BADASSERY. Did I say anything about how badass it is?  YOU SHOULD READ IT.

Fratboys...

"From urban dictionary: 2) The neanderthalistic douchebags that used to play high school football and talk about how shitty you were in high school who now joined a homoerotic club so they can rape each other's ass in private."

 I always hated these stupid individuals. Especially when your labeled a nerd or geek of some sort. As soon as you talk about players in ESports (Huk, TheOddOne, etc...) and their statistics your immediately labeled as a nerd. Let me get this message out there to you douche bags: just because we know e-sports doesn't make us any more nerdy than you, that's right; in your definition of nerd, your just as nerdy as we are. And if you don't believe me, let me make a few little comparison which will probably make you make you think twice before ever calling a person a nerd again.

First, you know how we know the win loss ratios or kill death ratios of popular gamers? Well, if you think about it... its the fucking same as knowing a athlete's statistics, yeah, I mean you fags who know every single fact about Michael Jordan or Wayne Gretzky. Those people who nearly memorized all the records in sports. What's the worst part? That they are labeled 'cool' for knowing this, while people who know about famous gamers are repeatedly shunned. Please, mind your own business and we'll mind ours.

In addition to the last point, don't go around calling nerd's nonathletic. Even though we're not the sportiest people around, we don't go around calling you fools the 'mentally handicapped' just because you don't know how to build a computer or program a calculator. Yeah, you know why? Because most people who end up into the gaming hobby tend to have morals do you know what that word means? Because, if you don't you may actually be mentally handicapped. And if we truly were afraid of you we'd tell the local authorities. Your immediate reaction of course would be to immediately call us cowards. And you'd be wrong, cowards may traditionally known to run from fights, but true coward-ism is not having the guts to report such harassment to the authorities. As a note, sports is like video gaming; don't challenge a 'nerd' to your sport. Not only does this make you a coward for wanting to fight on your home turf. You always have your damn cronies to further harass the individual after he declines. Just stop being a fucking douche bag, get some morals and move on with your fucking life.

Cortex Command :D


First and foremost this is almost a niche type of game. Basically it is horrifically fun, but you have to appreciate gravity sandboxes and pixel graphics to be able to enjoy this game to it's fullest extent. In this game, we control a brain [cortex] which is the center hub of activity in Cortex Command. The story of the game has humans who separated their brains from their bodies so they can explore space without having the physical restraints of their bodies. Instead, replaced with various robotic and organic 'dummy' bodies. The controls in this game is somewhat 'hacky', however once you master the controls it'll feel second nature and game takes a serious upturn. As of now there is a campaign in alpha phase. This campaign has you choose a faction [which is not fully implemented in yet] and try to take over Midas [the planet you're trying to conquer]. But the real fun comes form the sandbox skirmish modes of various difficulties. Where you can either survive for a definite amount of time or sandbox and spawn enemies infinitely.

I've been a long time member of the Data Realms Fan Forums [DRLFF], however it's mostly not the game that keeps you attracted to forum or the game itself. It's the community. Not only is community not hostile at all. I feel that they will help when they can and there hasn't been any power corrupt admins at all. Over the years of the game's development.The community has pushed out more modded content then official content at a ratio of close to 1:20. There are also some mods which created milestones, such as the Online Deathmatch mod [hacky but real network play] and Abdul's Vehicle mod [Wheels working].

Please give this game a try and purchase a copy if you like it and support the developer, Data! It's been my first and foremost favorite indie game of all time. It probably will continue to be.

Excited for Dota 2

DotA [Defense of the Ancients], a custom scenario for Warcraft III. If you don't know anything about it you can find the official website here:

Anyway, while this game is quite a distinctive community asset; it's direct sequel Dota 2 is soon to come out for PC. As a result many of the people [me included] have an urge to get our hands on this game. What makes it better is that the company behind it's development is Valve. Which can only possibly mean that the game will be great almost no matter what. And form what I've heard from the closed beta testers; this game does not disappoint.

Since we're on the topic of these style of games, commonly known as MOBA [Dota-Genre]; let's have a little chat of the other clones or branch offs of the original map. First there's all the hero war maps available in Warcraft II along with DotA. Of course, these are lesser known and tend to be of lesser quality & polish. However they appeal to the audience of lesser than competitive play. There's also some unique abilities and heroes in these less optimized maps.

_________________________________________________________________________________

Let's first talk about the most well known branch off: LoL or more commonly known as League of Legends.


What this title does that the others did not is revamp the stats. Rather than keeping the original base stats of agility, strength and intelligence. They are simply removed and all the items and hero levels simply increases the base stats of the hero (AP [ability power], AD [Attack Damage], Armor, MR [Magic Resist], Health and Mana, Health Regen, Mana Regen.). All the items in this game simply increases on or more of these stats. For example, Ruby Crystal increases your base health by 180 hitpoints. There's also three designated starter items, all of which are named with a Doran prefix. Doran's ring, Doran's blade, and Doran's Shield. All of which are probably meant to replace bracer, etc.. from DotA.

Pros:

  • Free to play.
  • A less steep learning curve.
  • More players and higher popularity guarantees games.
  • Refreshing concept on a traditional play style.
Cons:
  • Community is usually harsh or seem to have mental problems [True with most MOBAs]
  • Lots of re connection glitches
  • I personally hate runes & masteries. [Play more get advantage, lolwut?]
Summary:
I play this game quite a bit considering my friends all play this. However i would enjoy a game or two of HoN every now and then because LoL has it's own infuriating moments. [People dying repeatedly to Tryndamere (people get money for kills, thus this is coined the term 'feeding') Essentially how people are called or are noobs.]

_________________________________________________________________________________

Further down the branch we see HoN or better known as Heroes of Newerth.


Honestly if you're looking for a DotA replacement, you've essentially found your game (of course DotA 2 will take this spot once it actually comes out). Same to similar heroes? Check. Same to similar items? Check. Same map structure? Check Identical creeps? Check. This game just delivers for full on DotA content. It's basically DotA refined, better graphics, has servers, matchmaking, full on client and a bunch of other stuff like new maps etc... A great trait of this game is basically how much it touches it's roots. If you can't get enough of DotA, try this one out as well. [Especially since it became free to play (I bought my copy back in the day!)].

Pros:

  • Almost mirror game play of original DotA.
  • Optimized reconnection, replays, controls and maps. [Yeah those 'everywhere' hotkeys are no more!]
  • Beautiful graphics, with great optimization. [Basically so beautiful without using too much power]
Cons:
  • As usual a community is mostly full of tards and douche bags which automatically label you as noob no mater what you are currently doing, right or wrong.
  • Extremely steep learning curve
  • LOOOOOOOOOOONG queue times [I once queued for 20+ minutes! ]
Summary:
While this game can be heavily enjoyable and quite entertaining, it's community causes the game to drag. As well as the fact that the lack of high popularity of the game due to their early choice of making this game retail rather than free to play resulted in a respectable, but lower fanbase that that of LoL causes this game to take ages to find an appropriate match for you to participate in.


_________________________________________________________________________________


We've covered the well known MOBAs now lets talk about those [mostly] obscure games that are lesser known and or are unavailable to some parts of the world.

First: SotIS, or better known as, Storm of the Imperial Sanctum.
This is just like DotA, if only in the respect of the fact that it's another custom scenario for another Blizzard RTS game; Starcraft 2: Wings of Liberty. While this game is enjoyable, it has it's own downfalls. I fell that the map is a little too small and the item and shop system could be enormously improved. Also because it lacks it's own client etc.. It lacks a matchmaking system and re connection. However I do give props to the impressive use of triggers for the skills. he gameplay is smooth and fluid and feels wonderful to play.

Pros:
  • Fluid based gameplay
  • Better community than similar MOBAs
Cons:
  • Difficult to understand shop system
  • Steep learning curve
  • No matchmaking

_________________________________________________________________________________

I put this in here because of it's slowly, but steadily rising fanbase. While it is not a traditional MOBA or even necessarily is a MOBA, it borrows elements off of MOBA combat etc. Basically in this game you control a hero (derr?) and of which you have 7 abilities. Of which are used/controlled using the following keys: Q, E, left/right mouse clicks, spacebar, R and F. Traditionally Q, E,left/right mouse clicks typical contain most of the damage dealing moves. Q also often hold a disabling/debuffing spell as well. E and R are often used for defensive or support abilities. Spacebar is used for the displacement ability[teleporting, flash, blink, etc...]. And finally f is your ultimate, often a heavily damaging and or disabling ability. Which can be sued when your energy bar is full. You gain energy from attacking and dealing damage. Also at 50% energy Q and E have powered up abilities called EX moves are hotkeyed to Z and X. Which are often much more potent then Q and E. Almost all the abilities are skill based aiming.


Pros:
  • Very fast paced gameplay.
  • Really good community.
  • Requires almost all skill. No random based elements.
  • Pits you right into the action.
Cons:
  • Steep learning curve
  • Ridiculously hard to gain bloodcoins
  • Some unimaginative bloodlines. [Igniter for example (hurr durr durr, I shoot fireballs and make more fire!!!!!]
_________________________________________________________________________________



Etcetera: Things I'm not in a position to compare:
Realm of the Titans [RotT] and Rise of Immortals [RoI]

I cannot possibly review RotT, because I'm not going to bother play it. While it may be good it's in Chinese and it's servers are in Asia. From what I heard however, it has good reviews.

I also do not want to review Rise of Immortals, it has a terrible review from my friends and from what I've hear it is very mediocre. However, feel free to argue against it.

_________________________________________________________________________________

After a splurge of text, you may see my need to play this new fangled game known as DoTA 2, not only is it receiving positive reviews from every corner of the internet, it's also led by the current developer of the DotA map, Icefrog.

Also to summarize my review:
LoL: 8/10
HoN: 8.5/10
SotIS: 7/10
BC: 7/10
DotA: 8/10

I would greatly appreciate followers; and please comment on your own opinions; such because they are opinions you may still be able to overturn my opinion in your favor.

People don't understand...

This is of my opinion and I do not mean to purposely offend anybody with my opinions.

There are many times where I am asked what I do during my spare time; I'll usually simply respond, "I usually play video games or read." But there's those persistent fuckers who ask what kind of game? "Starcraft or warcraft usually." I'll say. Then there's three usual answers that tick me of: "Isn't that the same thing?", "Is it the same as/rip off of Minecraft?", and "You play World of Warcraft?????"

Let me start with the World of Warcraft bullshit. People are so goddamn clueless of the origins of Warcraft. Ever since Blizzard has been advertising World of Warcraft, which personally I don't think it's that bad of a game; but I generally dislike MMORPG's. However, the first image people get when they hear Warcraft is WoW. Whenever I say Warcraft alone I am referring to the fucking RTS game which WoW is fucking based off of. It's even worse when a WoW player does this, how can you possibly play WoW without knowing of the story of the previous games? Which bring's me to the another point, how the fuck do you know what DoTA is but not know Warcraft III? That makes absolutely no fucking sense. I mean, when you launch Wc3 to play DoTA the first thing you see is a splash screen which says in huge letters: Warcraft III. Are you that blind or are you ignorant of the game that DoTA is running on that it literally matters so little that you don't have the brain capacity to remember Wc3's name.

Which brings me to my second point. The "Isn't those two the same thing?" I feel like people who don't even have the knowledge or play time of both have no right to compare two games side by side unless they have played both. Which also is a fair argument for the Ps3 vs Wii vs Xbox360 argument; but I'm not going to get into that. For example, (this applies to most people actually), let's compare CoD and Battlefield just a little. There's those retards who will say they are the same " They both take palce in modern times and in both you shoot guns, therefor they are the same." I know a lot of you fanboys on either side will argue all day about this. Basically that's my argument, you just can't compare two games like that. There can be a million analogies made but i feel have made my point.

The third point happens, but not as often [luckily]. I feel that these people are entirely clueless about videogames and should not be even commenting on this kind of stuff. I love Minecraft and Starcraft etc... But some Minecraft fanboys are just fucking retarded. First of all just because the name has a fucking 'craft' in it it doesn't necessarily mean the games are related in any way. Second, even if Starcraft was somewhat similar to Minecraft [which it's not], Starcraft came first anyway. It's like some retard going like "Why the fuck does Queen have a song titled "Somebody to Love"? That's the same fucking title of Justin Bieber's song!!! Fucking get some new and original ideas Queen!!!" [I want to punch this kid in the face so fucking badly (I'm not hating on JB, it's just these people are complete and utter fools.)]

To sum it up: compare only if you have the knowledge to fucking do so.

Since this is my opinion you are welcome to argue against me or suggest other reasons.
