So I post a question somewhere asking about something, and the first answer I get is a Youtube link, with no description. I respond by saying that I don't click Youtube links anymore, with or without descriptions, because they're almost always smartass answers anymore that have to do with the latest meme.

Immediately after that I have seven people jumping down my throat calling me an ass for picking on someone who was only trying to help, when the point I just tried to make was that I couldn't really be sure of that because all there was to the guy's post was a youtube link and nothing else. And I didn't exactly start lambasting him or calling him a retard or anything for not being able to type, I just said I wasn't going to watch a video.

Of course, It's kinda suspect when four of the seven guys who called me an ass had a post count of "1" and a register date of Dec 2011 at the time of doing so. It's like, the guy didn't have enough friends to mob me, so some of them spammed multiple accounts.

Maybe you should take some time off work? The stress is really getting to you, it seems.

"They all float" -Gabriel Knight, no wait that horrible clown.

Actually, rather than post a useless meme, I'll address your comment.

I, too, have trouble trusting random links. I haven't seen the thread, and I have no idea whether your response or the video response you received were appropriate or deserved.

On the other hand, you've added a completely useless thread to the forums to inform us that an unnamed individual is puppetting to annoy you. I am sorry this happened, but by posting this thread you've given up any chance of the moral high ground, since your issue should have been dealt with in the original thread in a mature manner.

That being said, if the person needed to puppet to feel like they won an argument, isn't that proof positive you already won the argument? You could be satisfied with the moral victory and let it go.

Aren't all threads in General Discussion useless? And it would be practically impossible to end any sort of discussion that descended into argument in a mature manner in the forum in question, since the mean (that is, the arithmetical statistic, and not the disposition) average age is half my own. I don't meet many other physicians in the pit, and all the nurses have made it standard practice to distance themselves from all the M.D.'s. Given the audience that some of the older games GOG offers hold, I'd hoped this would reach the eyes of your so-called "mature" readers, but it seems even they are few and far between anymore.

In truth, I think I was just trying to save a few hundred bucks on therapy by getting a second opinion here, first, as to whether or not I'm crazy to think I'm not expecting too much of people. I think that decision in and of itself puts my sanity into question, but then I don't think it was ever clearly defined.

I'm also probably just pissed I have to work New Year's Eve and New Year's, while patching up the people who are going to be, quite literally, getting "to' up" tonight.

I thought it was "We all float". At least in the spanish translation of the novel pennywise said so ("Todos flotamos").

Hmm.. you could be right but basicly it's pretty much the same. You will float when you are dead. But that giant spider, why? Also, it lasted almost 3 hours and for such an low budget thing it is more in my memory than any lord of the rings, because after the clown I was traumatized and beyond repair. No wait, it was just my childhood, tim curry didn't ruin it.
Now I'm a bit confused, time to float, I mean smoke.

I never watched the movie, I read the book instead which is meant to be miles better. As for the spider, it's all a supposed explanation of the universe -- I don't know if the movie has this, but according to the spider itself the universe has only a turtle and it. The turtle is actually the one who created the universe, according to the spider, while throwing up (She says all the turtle ever did was vomiting the universe and then eventually died). It's a pretty weird thing, though I guess it's a good attempt at explaining the evil a bit.

The book will easily give you chills btw. One of King's best novels ever along with Carrie and Insomnia.

So that horrible movie just made it in the Discworld eh?

Edit1: which are awesome games.

Edit2: Well, the evil was pretty much not the spider but the deadlights so it wasn't so bad but it's weird still. Also it is a long book. =)

Well, kind of. Pratchett actually just took the turtle/elephants ideas from ancient mythos.

Edit: And if you loved the games, read the books! They're even better :P

Eric idle was great rincewind.

Reading? Some sort of method to get inside someones head and try to understand that they were drugged because they wanted to entertain? Or more so, left a book of notes which has instructions to assembly a rubber chicken with a pulley?

This is just a part of GoG getting bigger and then also attracting all the retards from the Steam forums and XBox Live forums. There are still many people here you can have a good debate with about games and especially old games but when you encounter the retards then all you can do is to simply let it slide and leave it at that.

... You DO know that name calling and using gross generalizations, as you are doing on that post, are pretty much the main marks of a "retard"/internet troll, right?
