[img] This is too serious, in my opinion, for a typical funny blog picture [/img]
I was sat at my desk, quietly reading the c-blogs on my PDA, when i'd had enough and I literally just had to rush home, abandoning my post at work, to write this blog. I could have wrote it on the PDA...but I can't type quick enough to keep my train of thought...whatever.
Anyway. Every single one of these blogs I read was brimming with hate and anger. The posters were just chopping each other up for no real reason. Arguing for arguments sake. They were just senseless insults, some trivial, some very personal. All uncalled for. No community member comes here to be ripped apart whenever they say something, but far too many members come here to start some trouble. It's not on.
I remember the days when nothing but love was spread about these c-blogs. No exaggeration. Everyone loved...or at least liked everyone else. Nowadays, the riff-raff has overrun the 'Toid.
I am disgusted with the calibur of people now populating this once great site. I'm not naming and shaming, because they know who they are. Shit, I bet YOU know who I'm talking about. The point is, it affected me enough for me to have to say something about it, without looking like I'm choosing sides in a stupid petty argument.
Yeah, I realise this is basically just an open invitation for those people to flame here, because all they really want is some sort of reaction. Whatever. I'm not an active enough community member to care what you all say about me.
I just know I won't want to read many c-blogs anymore.
Where did it all go wrong?

Not that it affects much, but I'm ready for a new Monthly Musing and some fresh new thinking blogs.
Sorry, couldn't resist. But I know exactly how you feel. Whatever happened to understanding?
There we go. You already got the joke I'm sure, I just wanted to see it work.
Everyone knows Gatorade is the juice of hardcore soda drinkers.
Fanboy.
That's why I choose to write this, rather than feed some idiots conflict addiction.
I usually do, this is my point. It just got to me in a moment of weakness. I'm fine now tho. Everyone can go on with their lives...as cunts.
Pretty much the only thing that I cared about hearing was Little Big Planet....everything else just moved me to a overwhelming "meh".
There is also the problem that societies tend to fall apart once they reach a certain threshold. This threshold, in Meat Space or the "real world" is usually when there are too many people for them to be individually accountable to each individual for any errors or transgressions. As soon as it's possible to blend in and go unnoticed, shit starts happening.
So, lots of theories on why society goes to shit. The bottom line is: too many people, IQ drops, people aren't accountable = annoyance.
Yeah, these back-and-forth fanboy arguments get old pretty quickly, and hopefully they'll die down after E3 stirred up so much shit. I've just been trying to avoid them entirely and divert my energy elsewhere so I don't contribute to the problem.
It's kinda like when people give one-line failblogs 87 comments and overlook many of the good ones. I try to pay attention to the good ones.
Really? Because puppet was around since day 1 of the cblogs.
But on a cereal note, the blogs did use to be more of a tight nit community. But Dtoid has exploded in popularity, and now there's too many people to keep track of. And since 90% of humanity needs to fucking die, there's quite a few idiots among us
basically we actually have 3 systems with massive strengths and weaknesses, in the same way that a stereotype contains some grain of personal experience, the rivalries are based on a certain amount of fact
For example, each console has unique strengths, the wii's innovative control system and AAA first party titles, the 360's online service and massive software library and the PS3s raw power and multimedia abilities couple with the wii's poor graphics/low storage, the 360's unreliability and technological inferiority to PS3 and the PS3's lack of quality titles and high cost.
Don't get me wrong, theres a hell of alot of bullshit fanboyism, but even though it's totally unreasonable to get that worked up over the consoles, there are actual facts around the situation on the ground that fuel this bullshit eternal game of rock-paper-scissors.
Like that "Gentleman Gamer" guy. lolz.
That's the joke, people who enjoy Mountain Dew are, statistically, idiots. Why so serious?
The "riff-raff" has always been here, although I also won't name drop, it just happens to have a reason to blow it's horn these days.
