Pwned

'World of Goo' was featured in Eurogamer's top 50 games of 2008 in the tenth slot. Peter Moore, the head of EA Sports, in a rant about FIFA 09 being missing from Eurogamer's list, commented that he was surprised World of Goo was included up so high in the list, despite not having played it. 2D Boy (World of Goo Developers) responded by saying they were honored that World of Goo had this much mainstream awareness, and that it derives sick pleasure from the "industry big-wig's indignant, self-righteous incredulity".

And that sick pleasure, is derived by us all...much love to 2D boy, you guys are the reason im in a video game design school :)

so are we all 'rockstars'?

You're all rock stars now in a network town
theres no place to go,
to be on your own
making friends and foes
watch the network grow,

Will you find a time
when you're not online
standing all alone,

Where's your real friends now?
you have let them down
you're a download pal.


from the awesome song 'we are rockstars' by the band 'does it offend you, yeah?'

doubt

  • Oct 5, 2009
  • Post a comment

Some people think that doubt is a problem. I don't think so! We get doubts, and i feel that doubts are good!

Do you know why?

- It's because doubts are always about something that is good!

Suppose someone tells you, "I love you very much!" - you immediately ask him (or her), "Really?"

However, if someone tells you, "I hate you!" - you don't ask them, "Really?"

we doubt the honesty of a person; we never doubt the dishonesty of a person. We doubt our capabilities; we never doubt our weaknesses. We doubt goodness; we never doubt a bad quality in a person. Isn't this so?

Someone asks you, "Are you happy?" - and you say, "Well, I'm not sure..."

You're never sure about your happiness, but you're so sure about your depression! You never ever doubt your depression!
This is strange but true.

Promiscuity is nothing more than traveling; there's more than one way to see the world…

  • Sep 21, 2009

I happened to 'store' that quote in a certain text file where I put interesting bits of text, it's attributed to one 'Ani DiFranco', no idea who she is,

 

Well, it's just my views on the topic now…

 

You might have seen girls/women/human females of all ages say one day something  on the lines of

 

"oh my god I've been such a slut, I've been with so many different boys"

 

"oh people must think im a  whore, with a different boy every year"

 

Something like that…so my question is, why do you care?

 

It's obviously very saddening to hear utterances like this, because why oh why would you want to refer to yourself by derogatory words used by the most prudish, most uninteresting people in your life? Why would you want to impress people with your boring life? And why is your boring life any more precious and worthwhile than even that of a stripper? Who on the other hand, is a person who does what she's good at to earn her living?

 

Im not saying this in a humorous way, this isn't a build up to an  elaborate "oh girls, be promiscuous, cheat on your boyfriends with me" joke

 

Of course we've heard about the "there's no male word for 'slut' "conundrum, but why should there be even one for women?

 

At the end of it all, ladies, even your disapproving parents and aunts won't be with you, it'll be just you and your memories of all the experiences you've missed…

 

This isn't about 'not sticking to someone', if you find the person you think you want to spend the rest of your life with, go ahead, spend it. maybe that's your way of saying you've found love…and your life is complete. Nothing wrong with that…

 

Also, there's nothing wrong with falling in love many times, whatever your definition of 'love' may be.

 

But don't spend it stuck, and don't spend it dependent, any women getting married in this day and age, the year 2009, I consider you quite the failure if you're just living with your husband who earns for you and not doing anything with the education your parents probably got for you to stand on your own feet. You have no right to be so useless in this society where every man creates an identity in the form of what they 'do' for a living, I'd be horrified to have a woman in my life who when asked her occupation said 'housewife' or 'socialite', but that's just me...

 

Yes, your identity lays in 'what' you do and not in 'who' and 'how many' you do….

 

So if I had to choose between a 'sit at home, decent housewife, who's proud of the fact that im the only one she's ever been with' and a woman who is not an idiot, I'd choose the latter….

 

Because if promiscuity is nothing more than travelling, I'd rather travel. Yes I know, you might say  "this is what every man wants to do anyway", well, it's usually not a 'man' thing, it's a 'human' thing….we all seek adventure…and in my journey, I'd like to meet other 'travelers', not someone who's scared of what people will think of them if they left their house….

 

Of course being in as few relationships as you can isn't a bad thing at all, if that's what makes you happy…do it, just don't do it for the wrong reasons.

List of pet peeves...

  • Sep 14, 2009
  • Post a comment

1-bad grammar

2- people who use 'ya' e.g- noooo yaaaaa i can't come to that party yaaaa...ugh.
3-'lol' especially when it's trailed with multiple 'z's...or even one. If you say 'lolz' you're a retard.
4-alternative spelling- why use 'lyke' and 'tyme' when it's exactly the same number of letters? How is it helping anyone? Also 'short forms' look lame...worst ones being 'da', 'dat' and 'mah' in stead of 'the', 'that' and 'my' respectively...
5-over use of the suffix 'no' and 'na', what the hell does 'pick up that rock no' even fucking mean?
6-over use of 'caps'. It's rude and unruly TO TYPE LIKE THIS ALL THE TIME! not to mention it makes you a douchebag...

I think that's all for today...

review- the final destination/final destination 4

  • Sep 4, 2009
  • Post a comment

'The final destination' series...all they're trying to tell you is, that bad maintainance and employee/workman/'whoever handles tools and machinery' incompetence can get you killed. So learn a lesson people, don't cut corners, even if you're a janitor...because who knows, you might happen to cause the gruesome death of some dumb blonde or jock wandering around... The new movie itself is a tribute to incompetence, especially that of the makers...this movie was mostly about stuff coming flying towards the screen, because it was supposed to be enjoyed best in '3D', which none of the pune theatres support. all you'd find yourself doing is pointing around saying 'shit that would have been a scary 3D moment'. Except that it's not. The deaths were kinda, funny, rather than scary...the acting, horrible...it was almost like a spoof of all the previous movies in the series, that's how many 'oh you've got to be fucking kidding me' moments make up this movie...

Another rainy moment...

Here i am, sitting in my car right outside kickboxing class (which just got over)...once again wondering "what now?" should i go home and cook dinner? Should i eat out? Is there anything besides 'eating' that i could do today? Is it wrong for me to want the company of someone who i don't have to ask it for? This is probably something that would stop bothering me once i start the damn vehicle and start trudging my Way home...the saying should have been 'the held mind is the emo douche's workshop' , because hardly anything 'devilish' is done alone...

Optimism is just half the battle...

  • Aug 29, 2009

Imagine you're a single man, and you're going to a party, a sort of gathering, or some new institution, and are excited about the fact that someone told you- "dude, there are gonna be a lot of hot girls there!". Stop there. What do you plan to do there? A lot of us just, look from afar, like some shy rabbits, hoping to get introduced by someone, or something like that. We might even make friends with current male friends of the women we're interested in, to get to them (many of us have been, these 'male friends' too actually, a painful position) so even though there's a certain excitement, it's a big mess. I guess one needs friends for this, ah, maybe that's what the 'dude, you gotta be my wingman' phrase is about, hmmm...shit this is all so complicated i feel like just, sitting at home and watching tv instead :-S

It's all fiction, just that...

We hear quotations, read books, watch movies, listen to music...most of these have some lesson to teach, a social 'law' and some knowledge to impart... E.g- the quotation "everything that happens happens for good" or "an idle mind is the devil's workshop", now these two lines are just words...to live our life and take decisions according to them isn't something we're expected to do...(maybe we are by a fanatic church that probably coined the latter) also typical kid's movies with typical 'moralistic views', i still don't know why on earth we were being subject to 'extreme jealousy' due to which the evil queen wanted to kill snow white just because she was the 'fairest in the land', jealousy doesn't work like that! You'd probably bother with only those who directly affect you! Not random women roaming around in the woods! But then again, that's what i think, and it's not to be taken as a 'law' on jealousy by anybody reading...all intellectual property we encounter, stories, songs etc. Are just experiences experienced by and wisdom gained by the creators...nobody imparts anyone else's 'experiences' directly because that would be plagiarism :-P i think (and nobody else needs to think like me) that everything we know, should be gained from experience...i do write my views about a lot of topics, a lot of them are just cynical outlooks on other people's experiences, and my observations of people (that could be an occupation, "angad singh, people observer")...but they are just that, observations...we never know what's going on in the minds of the ones we observe, that's why we need to experience it...quoting quotations doesn't make you wise, living your own, simple life does...maybe slowly, but its the only thing that truly does...(and let me stress that that, is just my opinion and not a law)

of btw i was checking a certain 'sex offender' registry...it really sounds like a high respectable post! Imagine, "hi, im angad singh, sex offender" maybe a lower post would be 'sex fiend' :-P

The boy and the city...

  • Aug 23, 2009

I see myself saying things i'd rather not say, doing things i'd be better off not doing, for my own sake, nobody else's at all...but then some of these are so, liberating...that 'regret' isn't something that really strikes me at all...There's no one in the world that 'will not listen to anyone', we all listen, when somebody really cares for, and matters to us. But most of the time, even after growing up and supposedly learning so many things, roaming around by yourself, you're just another lost soul...with no idea what to do next...it's awfully depressing, not only because of the loneliness, also because of the directionlessness of it all...being 'free in the city' is no fun, you have to plan out things to do, just to maintain some sanity...i guess, i generally like my solitude (im still discovering stuff about myself everyday that, to a certain extent, contradicts all my previous beliefs) , but only if i have some kind of routine, because whatever your routine, you'll encounter enough social interaction to be able to live without it during the rest of the day...so if you're going to college, you'll meet enough people during classes to even feel like running off home by yourself, cooking yourself a meal and running out for a nice movie, all by yourself...but getting up, and...well, doing just that 'regularly', and not even at around a particular time...and then doing some weird irregular 'filler' stuff, and going back to sleep...gets on my nerves. I'd rather have a routine than complete freedom to do, 'nothing'... because after some time, things lose their appeal...im not 'anti-social', just picky...i wish i could get some part time job as a, waiter or something, just to be able to meet people and be polite to them or something...ok that's a bit off topic, but it crossed my mind and i had to stuff it in :-P i miss the company of, polite, older people...it's like im craving, 'class' (not the educational kind, the attribute, i think, the 'he's got class' kind). Currently i feel like a fruit fly with no fruit to fly towards...<< inspired by 'fruit fly' by 'nada surf', currently listening...
