1 MORE THING!

Why does this other girl that I've talked to online for years have to be so far away!? The only time we can ever meet is at PAX east -.- Last time I couldn't even find her for a while despite being on the phone with each-other (Might have had something to do with me forgetting to mention I was cosplaying..)

I'm in a bit of a conundrum over her anyway... I like her more then my real gf (Sad, I know.) Her parents know me by name, as do some of her friends. Hell, I talked to her mom once when she wasn't home because she wanted to ask me if she had said anything was wrong at school. I speak to her for hours on end, nearly every day, and despite all this, I can only see her once a year.

*Sigh*

I need some happy pills right now, talking about this has gotten me depressed :/

 

[Xeraxis]

There are really some things that have been pissing me off lately which I shouldn't be, as more stress upon myself is really unhealthy.

The fact that TV is barely watchable anymore because it's full of bogus reality shows and idiots getting paid for doing things that are absurd or just plain stupid (Jersey Shore anyone?)

Also the frustration of having women not attracted to me WHATSOEVER has been an time-strained issue for a good while. People always keep telling me "You need to have confidence bro" and blah blah useless generic cliche phrases. Well, HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO GET CONFIDENCE IF I HAD NONE TO BEGIN WITH?! SHOULD I PULL OUT OF MY ASS?

Another thing is with me recently finishing high school. Yeah it was a great feeling to get it done but I hated (somewhat) the fact that throughout all 4 years I pretty much was an outcast. Transferring to many different schools during my youth didn't really set ground on having long-lasting friends. Everyone around me was either mental, stuck-up or just so fake that I just decided to forget it and focus on finishing so I can go to college (where hopefully things will change for the better in every way)

Also, one final thing. People who CONSTANTLY ask if I play basketball. Just because I'm 6'4" DOESN'T MEAN I HAVE TO PLAY BASKETBALL. STOP ASKING ME THIS I HAVE OTHER THINGS I WANT TO DO.

I guess that helped get rid of some frustration. Excellent idea for this thread, OP

 

[vance32]

Im tired of all these damm girls at school singing Average music Horribly and when you tell them
there horrible at it you just became the #1 jackass in school and for 3 years it gets annoying.
Also why do girls want a jobless prick instead of a guy who has a job and dosent make you wear slutty clothes.

 

[scorptatious]

Hmm. I like the idea this thread has going. Bookmarked.

I am honestly tired of living at home with my parents and manchild of a brother. At the same time though, I don't have the necessary skills to live properly on my own. So I'm stuck here for God knows how long. On top of that, I have no idea what I want to do for a living, so I'm just wandering almost aimlessly through college.

I also still can't seem to get over this girl from back in High School. I thought I moved on from her, but I still end up thinking about her and how I missed my chance to go with her to the Senior Ball.

Also did I mention how much of a manchild my brother is?

Finally, on a much lesser note. I FUCKING HATE SPIES IN TF2. Demomen aren't much better either.

So yeah, thought I'd let that out there. Once again, nice thread idea.

Spoiler

I'm now living with the after-effects of bullying. Did you know there were after-effects? I sure didn't! But apparently they are. They include: social anxiety, hyper-vigilance (I never let my guard down; I'm always on the look out for threats), loneliness, low self-esteem, and trust issues. I also have a very mild phobia of laughter; whenever I hear laughter, the first thing I think of is, "Goddamn it, they're talking about me! What'd I do, and how can I fix it??", and the second thing I think is, "Those worthless fucking shits, I don't even know them!" I say "mild" because this only happens at school. I also think I'm kinda thin-skinned, but I've heard that most bullying victims feel as though they are. So yeah, that's what I live with every day, and I can't stand it. I don't like to talk about it (except anonymously in a place designated for such purposes, such as here), either. I've got this idea in my head somehow that talking about my problems with others just bothers them and wastes their time because no one cares (another after-effect maybe?). This is actually the first time, in fact, that I've ever talked about this. I admit it, I've occasionally contemplated suicide, but that always leads to, "What does it accomplish? You have dreams, don't you want to achieve them?" Thank [deity] for that thought process!

That is pretty much me but instead of bullying it was more I am the easy target that everyone occasionally has a go at rather then a few people always doing it. Especially the laughing, whenever someone laughs I automatically check to see what I am wearing, etc.

That sucks, dude. Sorry to hear that. I'm kinda "the easy target" amongst my friends, but then again, a lot of our conversations involve making fun of each other. But then, I know it's all done in good spirits, so it's not as bad as being "the easy target for everyone"...

Point is, I feel bad for you.

 

[OrokuSaki]

I've been holding back for MONTHS on this one, but seriously FUCK NORTH CAROLINA!

There's nothing here, my landlord's a dick, my friends all live in New York, my family all lives in New York, I used to fucking live in New York fucking city and I moved away for A GIRL. A girl that I APPARENTLY didn't really know and who is APPARENTLY a two-faced ***** with no personality who can somehow begrudge me BREATHING if it doesn't fit into her perfectly scheduled day. I have, no lie, watched her just write people off for the most petty shit. "Oh he cheated me out of a dollar, so we're never going to see him again."

I ALMOST made a friend, but she pretty much broke him up with the chick he was dating, causing him to move back to Virginia because he "Hit on her" 3 FUCKING YEARS AGO! I can't stand it and she seems to be in a fucking bubble world where everything's dandy. My closest friend is a cat, I have no job, I have nothing to do, I sit inside all day and play games and read comics. She hates everything I do, doesn't give me a moments peace, and doesn't have shit to say. I want to run her through with a railroad spike covered in barbs and pull her back and forth from one end to the other until her body is just a bunch of shredded skin.

Also 99.9999999999% of the population here is racist and all my friends are black. My best friend came to visit and they practically ran him out of town. Fuck North Carolina with a rake covered in bees.

 

[Rouzeki]

Hmm... let me see.

Penguins. hollywood, STOP IT. STOP IT NOW. do a movie about dung beetles.

To the MNK/DNC tanking Briaeus- STUN HIS FREAKING TP MOVES.

It makes no sense how a 3-man next to us can blink/bounce tank the mob, meanwhile im there with a full alliance, but I end up having to main heal the guy (who has no defensive skill) while we watch him run around the whole area during the "I GO PEWPEW" phase. there's a reason I quit stress-healing in MMOs.

This also goes to all the people out there who herp-derp attack blindly- tanks in league of legends, extra monsters on page burns for no good reason, and anyone else. STOP IT!

if groups of people worked remotely in better sync, id have a better "day job".

I'm sick of Corporate BS. Im sick of nickle and Diming DLC, and sequels where the makers LOSE features. When I want to play a fighting game, I expect more then freaking time attack, survival, multiplayer and arcade WHEN I SPENT 50-60$ on the game! I'm sick of seeing the same old shooters 15,000 times. the only shooter I've bought since 2001 was Painkiller.

I hate HD,, Blu ray, and 3d (the last one in both movies AND GAMES). These things are fscking albatrosses over the game industry, and I've always enjoyed the games that can't or won't do these things for something different. the amount of money put into this programming leaves you with less to put elsewhere. as a mechanics player, so long as the game looks right for its graphics, I don't need special texturing, and I wish more people didn't gawp at it.

I really wish people would work together more, but the more I look around, the more disheartened I get each day. in my years ive been a games and gaming activist of sorts, spreading the word about good games, and trying to get people to see the potential of them, like they did in my life. like the Extra Credits folks, but much less inarticulate. When they came along it was a breath of fresh air for me, and it made me want to KEEP doing this. I once thought that there was a chance that if I kept telling people about good things, they'd go for them...

but as the bigger specters become more known to me, I realize that while I may be not the only person now, we have a lot more to do, and it almost seems insurmountable to me. the Diablo III always online thing is such water under the bridge to gamers I know who ARE savvy, that it makes me shudder to think what the Joe everygamer is gonna do on release day. DO they understand the implications of what they even purchase? do they care? or will they reason with it.

"it prints money!" indeed, and this time, the consequences seem damning. Movies may be writ in stone now due the formula being figured out, but here as the tech continues to alter, its OUR right as consumers that we point out WHEN things should change. but on this one the fact I even have to chide the company which GAVE me my gaming through my father on how not to segregate gamers baffled me so hard I was shocked to tears. It broke my silence on these forums because I HAD to say something. my inner child weaps OPENLY at blizzard, despite the fact I know things can change. thing is, its almost worthless to fight a power player like them. who even cares now?

I see my gaming for the overall arrangement of EVERYTHING in a game and around its interface. the average gamer seems to just see graphics, and perhaps core game play. nothing wrong with it, but when you don't care for minor features, it leads to companies being able to pinch you and the collective fan-base. they are testing limits. SHOW THEM when you can't stand for it!

I'm only 21, and i feel like I'm too old. maybe the gamer like me is already gone. maybe I'm just being sentimental. but is it to much to ask to see potentially good games not get hamstrung by the greed of their development heads?

My apologies if I offend anyone here- I was drawn to the venting thread immediately because ive just got a lot of frustration airs right now.

 

[smithy_2045]

I absolutely adore this girl I know fairly well, and my inaction for the past 3 months is fucking with my head. I would give so much to make this work, if only I knew what to give. I can't stop thinking about her, and my dreams always end up about her in one way or another. I just need something to go my way so I get some confidence, so I don't constantly second guess myself and act so depressed all the time.

 

[pwnzerstick]

FUCK ALL MY TECHNOLOGY!!!! First off my 360 gets jacked by some fucking low life so I buy one off of my friend for $100 bucks, the catch is that it comes with a usb drive instead of a hard drive. So one month after that the hard drive gets filled up half way through an update. The system registers it as complete, but it isn't so it fucks up the internal hard drive, I must have spent about 50 FUCKING HOURS on tech support trying to fix the damn thing. And now I have to send it in to microsoft for another $100 bucks. Not one week after that, the gpu on my desktop and laptop die at almost the exact same time. Now I'm stuck raging on the escapist forums until one of them gets fixed.

Wow, didn't know...

 

[BlumiereBleck]

I saw a really really horrible movie today that just angered me to no end.

Other than that, nothing I feel confident talking about here. Too personal >.>

You can chat meh ;]





Uhhhhhh....lets see...hmmm oh! I HATE THE NEW!!! xbox game cases...seriously they break the discs!

 

[pwnzerstick]

WHY DOES ANYONE CARE ABOUT MW3???!!!! THERE ARE SOOOO MANY MORE GAMES COMING OUT THAT DESERVE MUCH MORE ATTENTION AND ARE ACTUALY CREATIVE!!! It just confounds me that people can justify spending 60 bucks every year on a new cod game. If publishers see that people are willing to buy the same rehashed formula of a game every year, then that is all they will make, and that is all that they will allow to be made.

 

[pwnzerstick]

Oh, also, VALVE!!! FUCKING GIVE US ANYTHING ON HL2:E3 YOU MAKE GREAT GAMES, BUT I NEVER THOUGHT VALVE TIME WOULD ALSO AFFECT ANOUNCING THE DAMN GAME!!!!

 

[UmbrellaAssassin]

I want to kill myself......
Not much of a vent huh?
Well nothing else to say.

I've always been annoyed by the way the many public education systems work [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDZFcDGpL4U] and how American college works. How it becomes more and more expensive, each year, to get into college. How this lust for money will shoot a country in the foot by creating a less educated population. Even those that get through college will have a hard time succeeding with the mountain of dept that piles up. On top of that, that degree that you spent all that money on isn't even a guarantee of getting a job, let alone a good one!

I also get annoyed by how capitalism works. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOP2V_np2c0&feature=relmfu] All the greed and politics just angers me. Yet no one seems to see the problems with capitalism until we hit a depression, and even after we recover we still don't do anything significant to keep it from happening all over again!

1.) Later today I have to go to work. (I'm a dishwasher)

2.) Then on Monday I start high school marching band camp. (Which lasts 6 hours a day, every day of the week)

3.) A couple weeks after that, I start my first day of high school

4.) And I've never had a girlfriend, because everyone thinks I'm weird. (Mostly because I read in my spare time, and my eyeglasses are circular)

5.) I attend a school where nearly everybody thinks that it's stupid to read. To quote them, they think reading is "retarded"

 

[LeQuack_Is_Back]

I'm sick of being the go-to guy for when there's a problem around the house. After a long day/week at work, the last thing I want to do is step in to solve whatever you've managed to drop the ball on. And no, I don't care about whatever you're calling me from the other side of the house about. Especially seeing as it's the 15th time you've done that today.

 

[Brandon237]

I'm sick of living with my parents..my dad in particular
My Dad is the most cruel ignorant selfish bastard I have ever had the displeasure of living with!
He never let me have any friends or even go to public school when i was a little kid.
When I first started playing the guitar he hit me if i didn't learn a song before my next guitar lesson.
I recently came out of the closet...when he found out he pushed me over and kicked me....mum just stood there and watched....he's the reason i'm so darn shy and socially awkward and the worst part is i have to live with him for another 4 years.

That story combined with your profile picture and the fact it's 3am , made me feel the largest amount of empathy I've felt in months.

Sadness isn't a nice feeling is it? I think I'll stick to psudeo-Sociapthy, if this is how normal people feel. Seriously I find it intolerable that you are living like that, and know I'm thinking of the thousands of people who live in simalir condidtion, and it sucks.

Is this how most people feel most of the time? Or do empatheic people learn how not to give a shit?

I personally know girl who has an actual sociopath as a father, and is still scarred from when her mom's boyfriend did many things to her I don't really want to have to spell out. And that is still likely not the worst of these stories you will come across

It is a sad and horrible world, and the most I have ever been able to do is listen, but it dulls you to it, after listening to help for a while, the empathy for that situation kinda drains away, you just want to distance yourself from the problem. I am quite a good listener, and I have a very strong sense of empathy, There have been a few times where a news story will leave me in tears fro the people involved, but you just can't feel the same way about the world and everyone's problems for long, it is too stressful on yourself and so to a degree yes, when you constantly see the problems of the social world, you do stop caring. A horrible problem in itself, but I suppose we can't give up all our sanity to help other people keep theirs, that's not fair either.

That... went a little off-topic.

And @Screamarie
Yes, this is a gaming forum, but it does have many sub-forums, only one of which is directly involved in gaming. While vs. threads are annoying, the fact that they are not gaming threads means nothing, there is an off-topic section, and I like that. My post count would be a quarter of what it is now if this site was gaming only.

And my brother is my problem, that annoying, ADD (for real, which makes it worse), kleptomaniacal, screechy, underdeveloped, immature, entitled, jealous, selfish little creature who is never satisfied, he wants everything of mine, he once even asked if he could go with my girlfriend and I to this one mall because he wanted to eat there -.- And he insisted and begged too when that failed.
He walks into my room and picks things up off the shelves then tries to just walk out, while I am in the room even! I went to the loo for less than half a minute once with R23.50 on my desk, I get back it is gone, on his desk is the exact amount in the same denominations. Gah!
On an unrelated note I am selling a 12 year old child, warning: highly annoying, but can be useful in a menial labour position, any buyers please email me at inmydreams@IfOnly.co.za

Dear "My girlfriend's parents"; *ahem*

What the golly fuck is your deal? What the HELL did I do to piss you off so much? I've been informed that I've been rude, but no one that I've asked (girlfriend included) can explain how or when this occurred so I can't very well apologize for my supposed behavior. To my knowledge I've been supportive, kind, compassionate and respectful. I've gone out of my way to check myself in my demeanor and speech, and yet despite all this, both of you have stated in more or less words that I'm completely worthless as a human being (or better yet, that you want to fire buckshot INTO MY FACE). WHY?!

While I'm at it, Dear Employers: when you tell me "we'll call you back with your hours tomorrow", that means I will have cleared out my schedule for tomorrow to be near the phone and wait for your call. "We'll call you back with your hours tomorrow" does NOT mean that "you're going to have to call us at least twice in the next week before we'll finally get around to giving you your hours."

Also, to the few people who routinely ***** to me because you haven't gotten to see your significant other in two whole days (god for-fucking-bid there ever be point where you both are NOT joined at the damn hip), shut up. Shut the fuck up. In the next year and a half, potentially longer than that, I will be lucky to see my girlfriend more than once. The much more likely scenario is that outside of Skype, we won't get to see each other at all. The next time the phrase "I haven't seen him/her in SOOO LONG" enters your empty little heads, I want you to think back to the last time you actually saw them. If that time is not longer than a month, THEN IT HAS NOT BEEN A LONG TIME.

Actually, why the hell DO you people talk to me about this? I never see you outside of when we're hanging out with a mutual friend, leave me the fuck alone!

Lastly, to my best friends ex, HA! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! HAAA! Fuck you you chinless buck-toothed hyper controlling needy ****! "He's your friend because I approve of you" my balls! Go right on ahead and keep on trying to guilt him into taking you back through texts. The last barrage you sent had us both in hysterics and many a high five was exchanged.
