Journal #5462

I want to start off on my journal with ranting about how annoying cat really is as a pet.

[rant]
It started with a stray cat wandered on to our property- I assumed, by accident. It was at night, about an hour after 9PST. Gray and white 'camo' cat, female. My family didn't think much of it and thought the little cat would be gone in several days. Apparently we were wrong. So little by little we provide food and shelter and my dad decided to keep it. The result from taming this cat went from cute little gentle feline to annoying-getting-on-everybody-nerve pet.. Honestly, I can't stand it god damn 'meow' every two minutes. It's too repetitive and noisy and get on my freaking nerve. This cat is an attention whore or should I dare say, majority of the felines are. It would jump and take up half of my chair and refuse to sleep on my lap thus making me sit on edge of my chair which feel uncomfortable. She enjoys rubbing against my arm and bother the crap out of me. Really, when can cat ever get enough attention? Doesn't seem enough from what I've already experienced. It spilled my cup of instant noodle, ice cold water, and nearly knock over my playstation 3, my dad's cup full of pens... Well, you get the point. Oh and I forgot to mention it like to claw my computer chair. I'm worried my seven years old computer chair will become torn and unusable. My chihuahua, Sandy, a year old female, isn't like that. She would sleep on my lap and doesn't jump on furniture and knock shit over the place. Doesn't bark unless she hear sounds she doesn't recognizes. Oh and her claws aren't sharp as hell.

God I wish I can drench the cat in gasoline and set her on fire. Can't. Stand. It.

Go dog.

End of rant, hope you're happy. I have a shit load more to say but I figured it would be meaningless to post my full rant about cat.

I happened to release a website template scripted from HTML and CSS. Called Resentiment after a HL1 project I was going to work on.

I'm planning to release two packs of textures for Goldsource Engine.

And a new map project I'm working on for Sven Coop. Layout is all done, just need to throw in map details, custom textures, and finish the script. It's more of a rescue the VIP.

I also reads Trapt's journal that had quote of the Steam troll. God I can't believe a person so pathetic hang around Valve community forum. If he think L4D is a sexist and racist game, then he should consider boycotting every Valve games. Half Life doesn't have female character. Counter strike have neither black, woman, or asian. Team Fortress doesn't have black or woman character. His reasons are bullshit. His mind is bullshit. He sound like... oh, Jack Thompson!

Clearly, Valve is implying that females lack the survival skills to withstand a zombie apocalypse with the same tenacity as males such that males have a chance three times better than females in terms of survival.

Bullshit, go play Half Life 2 Episode 2 and Episode 3.

Is Valve implying that women lack the upper body strength to hold anything but a pistol?

Go play Half Life, Half Life 2 Episode 3 and Episode 2. Alyx was kicking ass with sniper rifle, shotgun, and her custom pistol.

Furthermore, none of the characters depicted are of Hispanic, Indian, or East-Asian decent, indicating that Valve believes that members of these races are "unfit" to survive a zombie apocalypse.

Get real, you're trying to say Valve should include 10 more characters to cover the races so it doesn't look discriminating and to make them 'fit'? How about you do it yourself buddy?

Secondly, the characters portrayed in the "teaser" video are not even close to being ideal role models for a young child.

Hey pal, this game is made for mature audience that can tolerate contents. How many games are there that have characters that are not an ideal role models for young child? A ton of them. Also it is the parent responsibility to teach their child the right and wrong, as well as common sense. Not the game.

Even worse is that he delivers this message immediately after firing a shotgun held with only one arm, which is an incredibly unsafe practice.

Welcome to the virtual world. This is a game jackass, and don't you realize that it's part of Francis's character?

When Louis, the African American man, sees the hoard of infected coming, he can only use an expletive known as "the S word" to express his anxiety. Is Valve further playing on racial stereotypes and depicting African Americans as unsophisticated members of society who lack the linguistic ability to express their feelings without using swearwords? Even disregarding the racial implications of his utterance, the word in and of itself is incredibly offensive. And let me tell you, I was even more shocked to find that the word was not uttered one time, not even twice, but three times in rapid succession. I certainly do not want my son exposed to this language, nor be taught to use it in such a brazen manner

Are you trying to imply what Louis does is uncommon and because he is black? I've seen many people swear when they're spooked, being chased, in a state of danger, in pain, or whatever terrible condition. Swearing in game is uncommon. Deal with it. Your son will be exposed to such language anyway in the real world. Oh and let me tell you a story; Once upon a time I was playing hockey at school with my friends. My fellow mate accidentally slammed my middle finger with his stick and I end up screaming 'AH MY FUCKING FINGER!" because it very painful and it felt like someone hammered my finger joint.

And learn how to spell the word "for" without using a numeral.
Before correcting a large famous company, try and learn the internet first. Oh and they can spell 'for.'

Edit: I've had a bad day hence all the negative entry. =\

Sounds like you just got a bad apple as far as the cat goes. Bad idea to pick up a stray one anyway.
It probably hasn't been spayed, and that's probably why it makes all the noise (no, seriously, find out). You can declaw the cat if its that much of a hazard, its not uncommon to do it.

Also, work on knowing sarcasm when you read it. The Steam forum post was a joke, and the people who take it seriously are the ones everyone else is laughing at-- not the OP.

I think it's a stray but my neighbor say it's one of our neighbor's cat. He told me the cat refuse to go back because of their dog. I wasn't able to confirm it.

you call the guy a troll, then proceed to counter his points as if they were real? Look up the definition of internet trolling.

Also, cats are far, far more awesome than dogs. I would never take one off the street, though. You know nothing about it.

Yah, cats are great.
I do find the 4 in "Left 4 Dead" stupid. "Left for Dead" would be better.

The 4 is a nod to the *4* survivors.

Left 4 Dead > Left for Dead
