Gaming madness driving me insane

Wed Nov 11, 2009, 5:50 AM
Argh! i need to get some of my frustration of my chest! Im frustrated beyond my own reasoning. I guess it's just one of those days, but it's just not that.. it's perfectly clear to me that the world is full of morons and stupid people. Some of these morons and stupid people had the great idea to create a computer game to insult all the non-moron/stupid people. Here are som of my most recent encounters with software spawned from inferior minds of morons and stupid people.

Total War: Empire
In the initial release of the game, the interface was a nice clean enjoyment of gaming awesomeness. It had a great blue tone and featured a beautiful music score in the background. That was back then. This is now. So the morons and stupid people was cooking up a new campaign based on some native Indian setting. You know, the hey-i-come-with-axe-to-crack-your-skull-open theme. Im fine with that, but i don't intend to buy it.. Indians are way to lowtech for me to enjoy. I'll take pleasure in mowing them nown with muskets, sure. But do i want to play them as a playable faction? No. So anyway, a new patch got released and hey and behold the entire game interface has been changed to a brown Indian Shitstorm! Now the cool blue is replaced with a brownstained mess of animated Indians going left and right. To top it of the music score is replaced with some Indian chanting rubbish. Im guessing this is some kind of marketing stunt to sell a few more copies of the new DLC. But i HATE it! I have no intent on buying that piece of shit Indian DLC! Why on earth do i need to have my game infected with complete interface Indian remake pestering my playing experience!?. Terrible! If buying the DLC will get my pervious blue setup back then im all for it. Guess i have to do as usual and take it in my own hands and mod the shit out of it. Indian piece of shit!

Warhammer Online
Oh my oh my, where shall i begin. This is all about the terrible signup process used in this game. I've previously created a few trial account.. let's say about 5-6... only to realize the about only 3 of them actually work. To my experience you cant use any form of complicated password when creating the account. That just leaves you with an account that can't be used to log into the game. You would _think_ that it's good security to use a complicated password... well not in this game.. i've used a combination of numbers and letters only to have it failed... only when i used something like "123456789" i got it to work. But, in any way, that was way back when the game was new. You would THINK this would be resolved by now. So when the new Endless trial came up for the game i thought about, hey nice to have an unlimited time to try out the game. So this time i created a new account with my real intended account name and all the correct information. Only to find out that i can't login with the account.... I've spell checked the username and password a million times... copy-pasted it only to have the launcher promptly tell me it's "Wrong". I'd like to think im no third grader when it comes to spelling so im pretty sure i got it all Right. Ah, to make a long story shorter, i've tried everything there is. Resetted passwords and cross checked it all. The signup website is made entirely in flash, wonder what dickhead got that great idea. The forums (beta) are a joke. I even read a developer posting about new trial accounts not registering correctly. He wrote something in the line of.. "Apparently there are some trouble signing up for a trial account making the account a full/closed instead of a trial account." His tips for avoiding this was to make sure the word "trial" was present in the top right corner when creating the account. And he then finishes of his post with "Good luck".... Good Luck!?... yeah, Good fucking luck trying to spin the wheel of trial account creation random process of fuckups. After a few hours searching for a support contact link AND battling my way through numerous logins i finally got the chance to fill out a form. Needless to say i filled it with all kinds of foul words and remarks about how terrible this process was. Ended it all with a "Earn your pay! Fix it!" to some sorry employee having to coupe with my outbursts. Time will tell if anything remotely interesting will happen. Feels more or less like i'm never going to try that game again. In fact, i'm pretty sure i'll never pay EA a single dime in gaming respects. EA, hope you eat shit and die.

So whats else?.. Well the Greedy Left 4 Dead 2 turn Valve is taking.. Not going to talk about that. I Hate it, that's enough.

Now im off to join all the EA Hating facebook groups i can get my hands on. I know it's a feeble attempt to do anything, but at least i am trying.

Häj. Jag kommer ihåg en logga som var ett ihopsatt G och P i en cirkel som stod för gurkoz productions som fanns för jättelänge sen, var det du det?

:-Þ
:icongurkoz:
Hey hey hehe jodå, det var jag. Har numera gått ifrån hela "productions" saken o kör bara med gurkoz.com

Kul ändå, i vilken sammanhang har du sett min logga tidigare?
:iconjocpoc:
När jag började skinna winamp för 100 år sen så var din sida en stor inspirationskälla. Älskade det där technic-industrial interfacet du hade på frontsidan nånstans. Du känner säkert igen några försök på mina skins att göra liknande look :D
