DRM does not justify pira(n)cy

October 12th, 2008

A wee while ago, when Spore was released, reddit was having NERD RAGE about the DRM. Many people thought that somehow, because there’s DRM in the game, that means that they can morally download the game illegally. No.

If I were to make a product, for example a nice table, made of wood. It’s a great table, just like Spore is a “great” game. I’m charging £50 for the table. But there’s a catch: I took a shit on it. Yup, I rubbed my shit all over the table. You have the choice between buying the table or not, just because you want the table but without the shit rubbed all over it, doesn’t mean you can have the table for free, without the shit rubbed all over it.

Stop coming up with silly reasons to justify piracy. I justify it to myself because I fucking love getting shit for free, and don’t give a shit if it’s illegal. If you can’t live with the real reasons you should just kill yourself.

Led Zeppelin = Hitler

September 24th, 2008

My friend Peter and I were arguing about music and shit as we so often do. I hate Led Zeppelin, mainly due to them being shit. He wanks over them at any opertunity, so naturally there is some (sexual) tension between us. I like metal and shit like that, not everyone’s cup of tea but I like it so FUCK OFF. Peter also likes metal but he’s not as HARDCORE X-TREEM as me.

Anyway, we were arguing about Led Zeppelin being shit. My argument is as follows:

“Led Zeppelin are shit”.

His is:

“Led Zeppelin were influential on music that came later, so by that logic, Led Zeppelin are a good band”.

Well peter, I know someone else who was pretty influential. Hitler. That’s right, Led Zeppelin are comprable to Hitler. Basically because:

a) They were both influental

b) They were both utter shit(s)

So unless you’re willing to admit Hitler was a pretty swell frood, Led Zeppelin are shit.

MY head girl? Fuck off.

September 24th, 2008

I was handed a note t’other day in registration saying something like:

“Sponsor your head girl … so I can go to Kenya and climb a mountain and raise money for cancer”

There are 2 things wrong with this, and I’ll tackle the most obvious one first:

Perhaps, rather than spending a boatload of money going to Kenya so you can climb a mountain (also called a holiday) to raise money for cancer, you could, y’know, raise money for cancer? It annoys me that getting to this mountain will cost far more than you will ever raise for cancer. Fuck you.

Second of all, I take great annoyance that you’re calling yourself “my” head girl. You’re not. I didn’t vote for you, not that pupil voting counted for shit anyway, and you were chosen by the senior staff because you’re the least likely to question authority. George didn’t get the head boy position for exactly the oposite. This doesn’t represent me. Authority needs to be questioned, and you sheeple annoy the shit out of me. Fuck off and stop calling yourself “my” head girl. You’re not. Rawr.

life

August 25th, 2008

Insightful post for today:

People who think there’s some purpose or meaning in life should fuck off. If you can’t deal with that, you might as well just kill yourself.

Adventures in platformer land

August 23rd, 2008

I’m writing a basic platformer using DirectX and Box2D. It’s not going to be anything flashy, just a test bed for a potential future project that will probably never happen.

So far I’ve made a really basic mapping system, the map is declared as a 2D array, 32×32. I decided to do it like this as it’s easy to impliment, however it certainly has its drawbacks.

I’m going to try to (one I get a player and an enemy in the game world) make a weapon that causes explosions because explosions are cool.

Went back to school on Tuesday, as predicted, is shite. I hate school so very much.

Applying for a job @ teh library lawl.

etc.
