This kid needs a bloody ban. He doesn't know when to shut up and end something.

Take your stupid personal vendettas off the forums, and follow them out :roll:

I like the way you vow to make yourself pay in your sig, by the way. Real nice work there.

Also you just linked all the nublets we've been trying to keep out. What are you trying to do, fuck GBX up as well? Yeesh.

Some of them like me, some hate me (mainly the #gbh crew... but they hate most people).

I forgot to reply here.

Halomods isn't so bad once you get used to it. I personally think that gearbox hates halo ce and all of it's players because they must support it on their company website. I don't remember where I saw it but there was this quote:
"Programming is like having sex, one mistake and you'll have to support it the rest of your life." Which is exactly what happened to gearbox. I wouldn't like it either, if I was a company owner of a video game company such as gearbox .
GBX is full of people who are full of themselves and think they are superior to everyone, thats why i was there :O
That is what I think as well, and it is why I hate them. Snafs sig is proposterous and quite hilarious.

Exactly. I feel this is what rossmum and snaf preach, but never do anything to help fix. I don't mean to flame either. There are not a lot of graphics tutorials out there, Katarns website was the bomb up until it went ka-flop. People need to help each other and be less selfish. The database of tutorials over at halomaps is largely corrupt and I don't think anyone gives a shit. Also I don't post my valuable designs and models because I don't want them ripped, stolen, or used somewhere else by someone else.

I have a bone to pick with you 9mlm man, the term is "newbie" which comes from the word "new", which is used as a term to indicate a new person. It is now an insult, and you use the insult instead of the former.

The whole transformation of newbie into an insult is laregely the fault of arrogant, overzealous, egotists. It spread around much like OldFaq's attitude.

The internet is not a friendly place. It is filled with all kinds of characters and personas. I bet you've heard of PurePwnage.com, and their series of clips about an internet and gaming obsessed guy, and his friends who are also gaming and internet obssessed. They all have limited grammar and vocabulary, it is present even in their speech. I have been on the internet long enough now that I cannot explain what "owned" or "pwned" means to anyone else, yet I use it frequently.

The first time I ever heard of the two phrases was on my first internet game: diablo 2 (which I hate). They actually made fun of me for not knowing, the term made absolutely no sense what so ever. I thought that it was quite the opposite that these guys were laughing at me for not knowing, these were the immature illiterate fools who thought me not knowing something was enough to be insulted and ostracised for. By nature the internet is an unfriendly place, because of human nature. Peoples egos, and reputation astound and raise to unprecedented levels here.

The fact that you can be a total asshole to someone halfway around the fucking globe, and not be ostracised or reprimanded yourself is a sad but very real fact of life on the internet. The internet is not for the faint of heart, which I happen to be close to being. I could go into such detail but I cannot. The internet is a place where the worst, most hateful and disturbing things can occur, because you are anonymous, and no one will ever know that you ever did something so horrible. This is much like modern life, but without the validity, and traceroutes. For instance, a rumor can be started and no one will ever know who started it, or if it is true. This is a place where the turn over is high, and sterotypes abound.

I have realised that stereo types can be true, but it is not the fact of whether a stereotype is true or not, that is the real problem. The truth is that it depends on the person who is making the stereotype. I am willing to bet that the majority of stereotypes are made by hateful, unlikeable people. Stereotyping is like psychology for the common folk. The common folk have neither the knowledge nor the training to create an accurate depiction of a person, they don't care because there are some out there who will believe them and the fact stands that it only furthers their agenda.

I have a theory that the most healthy minded people, are the meanest ones, at least here on the internet. A healthy minded person would not care what some silly text that someone wrote from halfway around the globe, but some others would care. I can tell you that a good reputation anywhere is a wonderful feeling, I had it once on a certain forum, and it was wonderful. A reputation is an essential thing because it means that you get taken seriously. Those people that spam to get their post count up, and seem old and wise on a forum realise this, and decide that the easiest and most clever way to gain respect is to be an old and wise forum member. This is what I mean by healthy minded people are the meanest. They realise things socially and go to work to take advantage of that.

The internet is the most chaotic thing that humanity has probably ever created. Chaos theory, theories actually do apply here, much like other object such as the stock market. In social areas, chaos abounds. This occurs on the internet because the itnernet is nothing but a large social network. The stock market is a social object, because it involves many, many, many people and their choices and influence affect many, many, many other people. I am working on a theory, forums are so very theraputic for me, they help me think things through in writing, and I know that they will be read by someone. I save all my long deep posts such as this to my harddrive, I probably have at least a hundred word files that I will never read saved on this baby. This theory is about humanity, and about it's future and role in the universe. I've said before that somehow, someway, forums always come up with a topic I can express my latest thoughts in. I have a great memory for facts, but little memory for actual events. There are some events that happened that are burned into my brain, that I will never forget. I just realised that if I took the time to remember all the good things, and not so many bad things I wouldn't feel so negative about my life. I think I've said it before, I think objects are much cooler than people. People don't backstab you, people don't make you feel like the most worthless piece of shit. This has been a subliminal belief all my life, and I think it has to do with all the times I felt so very embarrassed. My god, if my doctor read everything on my hard drive, he would freak. I told him some stuff a while ago about my thinking, he said it really helped. I think forums are theraputic for me, I am finding and discovering myself. My mental disorder and the way I act is a poorly understood area, if my doctor could read these, I swear he would freak out. :) Well, back to my theory, the theory is unraveling itself everytime I write these posts. I wonder very, very much about an experiment yet to be performed by scientists due to ethics and morals. The experiment is, to see what a human would be like if he or she grew up without ever meeting another human being. This interests me so very much. I sooo need a blog XD. I think it would reveal so very much about the human race in general, and I wonder how better off the human race would be if it was different. It's late and I'm wandering, I have forgotten where I was going with this again (I don't usually do this) and I must go to bed. I shall expand on it later :).

I read that. There is a quote from a book that I think explains stereotypes very well:

"Do you know what a myth is Jefferson? A myth is an old lie that people believe in."

There is more to the quote, but the theme of the whole book is racism "A Lesson Before Dying."

What goes after that text could be altered just a bit and have the same meaning:

"If you have even the tiniest bit of proof or you stand against the myth, it will be fought for but in the end it will die."


I don't mean to philosophize, sorry.


On the topic, I've been on the GBX forums. They are helpful if you know how to use the search feature.

I am actually trying to get a membership, but I don't plan to post until I hone my skills to that of a amateur or intermediate modeler (as of right now I still have trouble with textures sometimes).

I suggest that you don't ask questions there. Don't let anyone know of any revolutionary plans if they haven't thought of them yet.
I suggest using it as reference only with the search function, you'll find almost anything need there, or last time I went there... But that was months ago...
