I would be so slaughtered until I got some practice.

The campaign (single player) will slaughter you if you dont do first person shooters But, half the fun is playing with people and getting slammed BF4 is cheap right now.. grab a copy and come join me

Goodnight, everyone. This has been a disturbing day for me as far as these posts go in the red room and the AU. I'm quite disillusioned by who I thought were good people and friends of mine. I'm sorry, truly sorry but I have much to consider about this.
I'm sad. Goodnight.

This too shall pass. Not unlike a kidney stone.

 

[Midniteoyl]

lol. I'm going to go take a bath and go to sleep finally. I'll play knock knock tomorrow.

pics?

I would like to apologise to everyone for my participation in today's fiasco.

Might just do that. I am an FPS addict in temporary recovery. But I never go too long without it.

Nice...

Have a Xbone? My PC gaming days are about at an end. Just sooo many hacks now-a-days.

Who are these people? Sorry they're being assholes towards you..

It's a pre-paid debit system in which has a contract with Social Security for direct deposit of monthly benefits. I would've gone with a credit union but I was bouncing around the nation to much and that would've caused a nightmare for me...so I stuck with this unethical company/service.

My buddy and I are attempting to creating a FPS similar to Counter-Strike: Source but with no need for VAC and all the other Anti-Cheat Plugins. Basically we want to create a game where you can't mod nor cheat with hacks/mods. It's not going to be like COD and others, more like throwback CSS graphics/details and we're going to make it fps friendly for folks who can't even afford budget-high end gpu's...basically we want folks who have Intel 3000-6000 to be able to have consistent and stable 60 FPS and throttle those who have high end gpu's down to 60 FPS as well so it's a fair game with no one having an advantage over others.

It's a dream of ours and we're merely still on the architect aspect, like a rough draft with no programming yet.

Yeah my Daughter did her Tax return like that one year through some debit card at Walmart only to find out later that they would only allow 300 dollar a day on Cash withdrawals on it. She was trying to buy a car so we needed "Lump sum" monies. We ended up getting Postal money orders and then cashing them... What a hassle. Folks must of complained because they stopped doing that a couple years later. Way crooked.

ODE TO MOE. In Memoriam

Today was the anniversary of my friend Moe's departure form this world.
Eddy, his real name would be 50 years old now if not for fate.
Moe was born a healthy oldest son to a typical American middle class family.
He had a happy childhood, loved to play with toy cars and used to dream of growing up and driving his own race car.

Then when he was five years old he was diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa,
a degenerative eye disease that causes severe vision impairment due to the progressive degeneration of the rod photoreceptor cells in the retina, and eventual blindness.

As time passed Moe slowly lost his sight until by the time he was 8 he couldn't see at all. But my friend was a fighter. He'd get into fights with other kids and act just like them, he wasn't special and never asked for anything the other kids didn't also deserve.
He learned Braille, and developed his inner radar and mental visualization.

By the time he grew up he had become a masseur instead of the race car driver he wanted to become as a child.
He was good at it too. He worked for a Chiropractor on Miami Beach. Made a decent living and tips on the side. He also worked as a massage therapist on his own.

He had a map inside his head. The first time he went anyplace, usually w/o a cane, he counted steps and took note of which way he turned. Had a compass in his head.
He'd walk to the bus stop, take the bus to the beach always counting the right change for the passage.
I used to like to to test him. I'd give him a ride to the grocery store and try to get him to walk into a stack of cans...But Never once was I able to!
He'd turn and "look" at me With a grin on his face and ask,
"Why are you trying to make me walk into those cans?"

Moe still loved to do what he wanted as a kid.
He liked to drive. We would take him out in empty parking lots or large fields and let him go nuts driving our vehicles. One dude had a VW Bug with a roll cage and Moe would flip that bug 2, 3 times in a row!

One time Moe and his wife were having dinner with another bud and his wife
at a local restaurant. The guy at the table next to them lit a cigarette and Moe said
something about his dinner being ruined.
Now, Moe smoked. He smoked a lot...
The reason we called him Moe was because when ever the buds were in the circle Moe would be sticking out his hand saying "Moe, I want Moe."
But being blind Moe could smell real good too so the smoke messed up his dinner.
The other guy said something about pussy blind boys so Moe got up and decked him.
Of course by the time friend Larry jumped in to tear them apart the other guy had beat the crap out of Moe.

But Moe was cool about it. He got to shut the guy up
and the other guy went home to tell his friends about how he had
just beat up a blind guy...LOL!

About three years and three months ago Moe and his lady went to the beach.
While Eddy was wading knee deep in the water along came a barracuda and tore a chunk off his leg.
Jenny, Moe's wife rushed him to the hospital where they dressed the wound and gave Moe some blood tests.
A few days later the hospital called.
Moe had leucemia.

My happy go lucky take no shit friend died three months after being diagnosed.
He was pissed off about it, didn't go gracefully at all. He bitched with his last breath.

Moe asked for his ashes to be spread at the traffic light of a famous local drag strip.
This was highly illegal of course...that was Moe.
In due course his wish was granted and his ashes were spread under screeching tires
as the traffic light turned green and everybody yelled out, "I want Moe!"

This one is for you, Moe...

This isn't any ordinary debit card company, they have a strict contract with Social Security. This is the debit card Social Security pimps out to all benefit recipients to use instead of the check. I will be ditching these fuckwits once my bro and I are relocated and stable living environment, they have stolen money from not me but Social Security and I am not the only one they have been doing this too but does Social Security care...nope, we've been explaining this to SSA for many years. Plus, doing a chargeback with these fucks is worthless since their investigators WILL not believe you nor the evidence you present them and you have to send them snail mail vs emailing them screenshots and videos of evidence...their excuse "we're not a bank" but they sure do get lied to by fraudulent companies in which they believe them over their clients.

Social Security has been screwing me over since I was 19, they will increase my benefits...decrease my benefits...suspend my benefits...activate my benefits...increase my benefits...decrease my benefits and repeat for 10 years with no benefit consistency. Majority of my homelessness is due to SSA fucking with my benefits making it impossible to pay rent/utilities and having money left over for a months worth of food (going shopping weekly as an example).

SSA & DirectExpress despises me cause I don't consume their bullshit and not afraid to have my voice heard about the abuse, fraudulent activity, and unethical business practices they commit.

Yeah Muth I too got wrapped in what I thought was a good group of people.

I've stayed away from TV's and movie screens for the last 20 years. I use up my daily screen time on the computer and it does suck ass to spend it with people who couldn't give a rats ass.

ANYONE (note the caps) feel free to give me any constuctive criticism on what I did wrong. Take your stabs at me I can take it.

Great story and tribute.
Sorry for your loss Hazy.

Walmart in general is to be weary of. (that reads strange..)
My old lady got me a new punching bag for V-Day...
went to pick it up had to refuse delivery.
Missing items, broken zipper, busted up box.
The pits. This happened twice! So I bought an upholstery needle and plan to fix my old bag so my kid and I can punch it instead of each other.

Here's one for ya. I get coupons from Scandinavian Tobacco Group. She does too, I used to smoke a pipe, still have about a dozen pouches I plan to turn into NET.
Anyway, this happened at two separate Walmart Stores;
The coupons said one 1.25 ounce pouch of Captain Black for one dollar with the coupon.
That's a really good deal. But who takes pipe tobacco coupons?
Walmart sold Captain Black so there we went.
Ah! The pouch didn't say 1.25 ounce it said 1¼ ounce...
The cashier refused. The assistant manager refused, he said it wasn't the same...
the Haitian store manager lady (I'm persistent) GAVE ME THE POUCH
did not charge me the dollar which I tried to give her
and asked me to go home and smoke my pipe..

But we had more coupons.
We drove to the Walmart 5 miles north and guess what?
Yup. All over again. Except this time it was the assistant manager lady
who caved when she told me the manager wasn't in and I should call him the next day
I told her that instead I would call the corporate office and explain to them that their assistant managers didn't know basic math..
She took my dollar.

 

[HazyShades]

Great story and tribute.
Sorry for your loss Hazy.

Thank you Ld. Don't be sorry for me though. Moe was a loss to a lot of people
but he had a pretty full life, never let his handicap get in his way.
To tell you the truth, Moe's buds celebrate today. This is what Moe would want.

Regards,
Hazy

Fucking pathetic: https://news.vice.com/article/the-c...-the-iraq-invasion?utm_source=vicenewstwitter

I had Native Iraqi friends whom were killed when this shit went down but before the whole invasion, I never once heard them spew the identical bullshit which is called propaganda. American Retirees retreated to Iraq for paradise believe it or not but of course way before the invasion. Iraq was actually a beautiful country and yes Saddam and his Regime did horrible shit but every "Dictator" and or "President" has too...there is and never will be a "perfect" "President" and or "Dictator".

Thanks to my Online Gaming passion, I know so many people from so many countries and the 7 Continents in which I get to understand and learn about their way of life, culture, and society. I use to work at Cub Foods in Minnesota in which I was friends with 2 Iraqi's who wanted me to visit their families back in Iraq but I didn't have my passport so I couldn't but when they returned back to Minnesota, they had gifts for me from their families in Iraq.

Not to mention the friends I lost who obeyed orders to go and fight a war that should've never been started in the first place. I knew all this before this document was released and this makes me sick to my stomach.

I apologize for this rant if it offends anyone for any reason.

Sigh...

Good Morning Everyone...

Good morning Crew, A brand new start to a brand new day

Good Morning

Wisdom: Strength
Only by overcoming life’s problems and obstacles can we become truly strong. If everything always goes smoothly, we will grow complacent and be unable to build a solid foundation for our lives. Only by experiencing suffering ourselves can we understand the suffering of others and deepen our compassion.

Hi Muth, good morning

Thanks!

These DirectExpress mother fuckers are screwing me over, once my bro and I relocate to wherever...I am going to find a Credit Union and have direct deposit with them. I keep forgetting to take screenshots but damn it, this shit is getting old quick. Tomorrow I will be going to Social Security and to the Courts building to file some serious complaints. I can only wish that this companies contract with Social Security will be pulled from them, inconsiderate pricks.

This company also hangs up on me whenever I call, fuck these mother fuckers!

If you are having problems, I wouldn't wait. Just look for a bank that has branches in the locations that you are interested in moving to and switch.

Just recently made the switch myself to PNC, but The Huntington was a close second. Both had free account options.

I agree. I was in England and Ireland when the meetings on the topic were going on in the UN and Hans Blix was trying to get info from the US about where the WMD's were located.
He kept telling us that they had inspectors in Iraq who were ready at a moments notice to go anywhere in the country that there were told to go to, but we just kept saying that all would be revealed in the future.
It was ridiculous, but I do have to respect for Colin Powell who was stuck in the middle of it all as the voice of the US at the UN. He handled things really well, but you could see his own frustration at the position and his inability to work with the UN because it was apparent that he didn't have the info to give. His departure from the administration shortly after the whole mess did not surprise me at all.
What truly surprised and sickened me though was when I got back home and found out the American public was being told was going on in the UN by the media because it was so twisted and inaccurate that it made me sick.

Hope you are able to have a clear weekend at least. We are supposed to have a reprieve for the weekend, but it looks like it has the potential to be a mess with a mix of rain and snow on Monday.
