Hockey games and...socialites?

So tonight I had the honor of seeing the Stars lose a horrendous game to the Phoenix Coyotes 4-2. The interesting part was that I sat in Section 117, on row F. Normally I'm in section 323 or some kind of nonsense. The point being that instead of the players appearing to be ants, I could see their freakin facial expressions.

So that was fairly cool, I got a bunch of pictures from the warmups and a few from the game, but I didn't get on here to update to talk about that. I'm here updating to ask this: when the hell did it become the socialite thing to do to attend a hockey game? I was at the game, enjoying myself a bit at least, but there were these four girls sitting in front of me that annoyed the hell out of me with their mindless chatter. It was like a hockey game broke out in the middle of their conversation or something.

How do people like this get tickets and a bigger question is why? I didn't see them pay attention once, all they did was talk fairly loudly and look stupid with their orange skin. Another thing, why do girls think that looks good? I don't think there is a single guy that says, "Oh man that girl has a fake tan, I'm all over that!" No, wrong. Its gross and looks bad. You don't look like you are from California (who the hell wants to be from California anyways?), you just look like an idiot with a fake tan. Which I can then infer you probably have some kind of fake personality and a fake laugh. You aren't a real person and you have no soul.

I had a lot more things I wanted to say about this, but I'm fairly lazy.

So...crosswalks

I was on my back to Denton from Dallas tonight, after spending the day there, turning things in to be a lifeguard and earn some kind of money this summer, and just because it was me, some kind of event had to be ending right when I got back. So as people flooded out of the arena, they of course needed to cross the street to get to their cars

This presented something of a problem to me as I had to in fact get down that very same street. Well as all know people enjoy traveling in packs. Very large packs at times. So I sat there for close to 3 minutes before the smallest opening appeared and I ran over about 5 people to get by. It was the only way.

Seriously though, there is a point while sitting there where you think to yourself, "You know, I am in a 2000lbs vehicle and they are only flesh and bone, I think I can win this battle..."

Man did invent the cross-walk to protect the pedestrian though, its a safe zone. Like "Hey I'm in this, you aren't supposed to run me over." That only goes so far, people need to respect the cars out of fear though. Those stripes of paint don't magically grant them invincibility. When you are inside there you can't just go "Hey man don't worry, I got this" and step in front of the car and watch it smash to little pieces.

So I guess what everyone should take from this is that Newton invented physics so that right as he was about to plow some pedestrians over in his SUV, he didn't magically pass through them or something.

So I came to a realization

Gamers are some of the whiniest people ever. They whine and complain about anything and everything. Case in point, I recently heard about a new game Dice is putting out, Battlefield Heroes. It is in fact going to be free to play but there is some kind of catch, possible in game ads and micro-transactions. Of course this has garnered some kind of ire from the community. This is in spite of the fact that it has been confirmed that ads will only be on the login page and on community sites. And the micro-transactions will more than likely just deal with aesthetics. So this won't another War Rock where the people that decided they have expendable income get equipment above and beyond that available to everyone else.

What bugs me is how people are whining about ads in a game that is free. It is free and yet people are whining about what isn't even really inconveniencing them. I mean seriously, what is wrong with gamers? They act like they don't see ads anywhere else and nobody has to deal with advertisements but them. I don't know about you but when I drive around there are billboards, when I'm trying to watch a Stars game it constantly gets interrupted by a commercial break. I think gamers can deal with a few billboards placed throughout a city that will actually make the game more realistic.

I mean seriously, God forbid I have to see a billboard while I race around city streets or that I have to watch a coke ad while a game loads. None of that bothers me, but if they start actually interrupting the game for ads to tell me about what crappy frozen pizza tastes delivered, then I will be angry. I didn't pay $50 to be told "ITS NOT DELIVERY! ITS DJORNO!" (are those commercials even around anymore?)

All that being said, I am a gamer.

First post, hooray!

Its 1am and I'm fairly lazy and have class at 9am. I s'pose I'll make an actual post tomorrow or sometime this weekend then we can really get things rolling. Or I'll never get back on here again, I guess we'll just have to wait and see...
