I have to say - thanks to all involved in this thread for making my boring evening at work almost bearable. Now, for my final trick, I will make Animal Cracker boy's head explode!

*sigh* Ok! For the pedantic (and those with very little active brain cells).....
Place 100,000 gay men AND women on an island with NO access to adoption or IVF and that group of citizens will be dead and gone in around 50 years. No way to procreate you see.
One or the other will have to cross over to the other side and fuck the other otherwise their dead and buried. I guess that would make them bi-sexual.

"We're characterising 'gay' as weak and shit, and you're gay if you get offended by that..."

We are, REALLY? WTF did you get that?

Horrible things happen to blacks, whites, Asians, Hindus, to Muslims, Christians, Jews, atheists, to heterosexuals, bi-sexuals, transexuals, men, women, children, transvestites, to everybody every single day. Gays are not special.

No one should have to suffer such things

but it's a sad fact of life and human nature that they do and will

We all wish we could end the suffering wrought by evil people

any decent person would

but crying about some stupid, harmless thing some goofball said won't help one bit.

And please don't try to infer that his speech can be considered "inflammatory"; that's just an insultingly stupid notion, just as it was when people suggested it about some goofy developer naming an achievement "Stupid whore" or something like that. It's childish idiocy.

Hey guys, we read and heard all the feedback from BlizzCon this year. The Corpsegrinder bit was never intended to be taken seriously. We are sorry that we offended anyone; everything at our shows is just meant in fun. Thank you all for speaking up. We’ll definitely keep this in mind for future shows.

Our humblest apologies,

Level 90 Elite Tauren Chieftain

For a person that has no lines, you seem to be drawing a line over how far 'hypersensitive sissies' can react. Ironic much?

Boy that's really stretching the boundary. I think you are trying a bit too hard. I didn't draw a line - You can cry as much as you want about this. And I can laugh at you about crying over it as much as I want. Then you in turn can get pissed off at me as you want because I'm a racist, homophobic, chauvinist demon who has the nerve to NOT be offended. Then I can laugh at you some more, etc. etc. etc.

See? No lines - stop making stuff up. If you want a serious answer to the second part of your post, anyway. If not, carry on then.

a racist, homophobic, chauvinist demon

Sure. No one would think he were serious.


Yeah - it would have made me chuckle.

Yup. I'd have laughed too.

I don't. There is no line. It's made up by hypersensitive sissies who cry a lot because it gets them attention from other sissies.

Good point.

Yes, this 'Hate Speech' was extreme and unnecessary.

So, to expand on your comments, if I may, for example - I wonder why a comedian can make a heterosexual joke, and heterosexuals find it funny and entertaining, but if a comedian makes a homosexual/gay joke, most of the gays are up in arms and scream that it is offensive blah, blah, blah. Heterosexuals laugh because they are comfortable with their sexuality, so if homosexuals ‘REALLY’ felt right and comfortable with their sexuality they shouldn’t find it offensive, but funny/entertaining.

Funny Blues how you talk about free speech yet you removed my comment about Gays and their weird ways... Nice!!!

Where’s my free speech when you removed it? I believe I’m guaranteed my rights under the current constitution.

I never seen them claim that.

Never saw those promo videos where they directly compared themselves to WoW by saying "You're not in Azeroth anymore!"?

They pretty much were throwing the gauntlet down to WoW claiming to be better.

Adios, Apple.

Your downhill slide began yesterday but it picked up a bit of speed today.

Hello, the D3 Beta called. Turns out, it's a beta.

I'm glad people are finding exploits before retail release. Hack away people, do your worst and get it out of the way.

So it's $60 plus another $78 for the six months I would play it? $138 for a game? Sorry, that's too much for me. Plus: I wouldn't sign the ToS.

This is a tempest in a teapot. The proof is in the quality of the overall experience, which I'm guessing will be Blizzard-level all the way.

IMHO most of the best and most relevant gaming experiences today are real-time experiences that don't let you get up and take a little vacation at the door, phone, or water closet. Whether RTS, FPS, or MMO you can't just leave in the middle of a battle.

Game developers have a right to DRM, and online play and server-side components are about the only way to achieve it unless you're into dongles. We're all going to have higher quality experiences, SP and MP, when piracy is a thing of the past.
