\"you try to word your sentences eloquently to give the illusion that you are some ivy league scholar\"
you:
just read the message below where you say:
\"I\'m sorry for my correct capitalization and that you can\'t
read above a 4th grade level. I don\'t think my posts sounded eloquent
or complicated, they just sounded normal. \"
Well, I dind\'t know you were such an anal prick that you go back and re-read your own post 5 timse to make sure no typos are in there. Also, I don\'t post in forums to make an impression of being smart...like this i just type my thoughts in seperated by a few periods....but if it is that big of a deal i\'ll type in sentences.
Once again, you are trying to impress ppl on the internet, which just shows how much of a no-life loser you are. Also, eloquent isn\'t a 4th grade word genius. But by your reply linking eloquent and complicated as almost synonymous shows your real lack of vocabulary moron. Eloquent doesn\'t have to be complicated. It is flowing, enriched text that properly and \"beatifully\" describes something.
\"I am so l33t I will h4x0r j00! HAHA! You are a l00s3r!!\"
Hmm, can someone call a translator please? Why are you using numbers for letters and they aren\'t even forward you idiot. Oh, btw, you should learn to spell your own name...LOSER is spelled with only one o..and i have a 4th grade reading level haha you amke yourself look stupider by every post. Also, what is l33t and h4xor and joo? Are you attempting to say jew? I don\'t get it.
you also probably played it when i had jsut come out when nobody knew how to play
donkey cocksicle....\"one more comment \" from the beginning of my COMMENT not bitching or whining...your posts get stupider and stupider
Freak On!
(I\'m upgrading from 1.3 to 1.6, but I don\'t have TFC, so when it tries to upgrade TFC, it fails, then when I try to run half-life, it says my executable has been modified. So I can\'t play until I get TFC.wad so I can run the patch again and let the bitch upgrade it)
Dammit.
Just my 2 cents......
Freak On!
I played Quake with a 14.4 modem (remember those?) and it took a while to realize that the -\'looking up from the floor, sideways\'- view wasn\'t normal. Also, another annoyance was that every standard DM server was severly overloaded, on those tiny maps.
Quake2 was a step in the right direction (for me) but I could never compete with LPB when it came down to a fair rail match.
Quake3 is a mess on a modem. Every game I have tried has been completely unplayable.
However, I like Half-Life DeathMatch. Why? Complexity and nuance.
There are players that I can beat (that are faster/more accuate/lower latency than I) because I can outsmart them. And only Half-Life gives me the tools to do that. Level movement is extremely fast for experts, and the Tau cannon is the best weapon ever created. I love the fact that when someone is charging the Tau, no-one on the entire level feels safe, no matter where they are. Also, the guided RL allows modem players an accurate way to account for latency and predict. But even if i have a bad connection, I can still have fun with the \'slower\' weapons.
Just my 2cents
Freak On!
See? Now that\'s comedy. ;-)
anyhow, nobody is whining or bitchign really except you..ppl are jsut voicing their opinions don\'t get your <i>Depends</i> in a bundle over nothing
(I don\'t think I\'m \"shackfamous\" enough yet anyway)
Don\'t forget about Virus.
