Who was the guy with the A in his mouth?<

That was cutting edge homebrewed rave (back in 1993)
And the guy wearing the anarchy mask is John Major, the then Prime Minister.

Rush Rush Rush

You may be a Kasparov, a modern Tzun Tzu, a Stormin' Norman Schwartzkov of the RTS world, you may have command of a strategical genious that would have assurred world domination to any army in history, but right here, right now, you are a 60 second n00b about to be crushed by yet another Zergling Rush.

This player may have all of the skill they claim to have, and maybe they're just a loudmouthed twat like you say they are, but in the end you will never know because the only strategy they ever use is the one that they have pared down to the nanosecond so that they can have a full offensive force in the time it takes you to construct five drones, a barracks and a bunker.

Time to Beat: If you can somehow survive the Rush, however long it takes you to make your first attack... IF you survive.

Campers R' us

Doesnt matter if its bush, mountain, building, or shadow, the camper will always find ways to annoy even the most skilled player.

Time to beat: Never as a campers craving is never satisfied, even with a 100% accuracy rating


Little Kids

Kids of age 13 or under with really squeaky voices that abuse the mic and always swear because they're imitating some of the older players, and it makes them seem "cool".

Time to beat: ALWAYS. And if you're on their team, follow them, wait for someone to kill them, and proceed to teabagging.


The Adaptable Noob:

-Gets killed by a manta. Says mantas are for noobs.
-Gets killed by flak. Says flak cannon is for noobs.
-Gets killed by an avril. Guess what? avrils are for noobs.
etc

Time to beat: The very second they kill with whatever they were whining about. Then its suddenly "pro".


All or Nothing

These players are remorseless and browse servers looking for easy prey, they play like there life depends on it, never giving an inch to an opponent regardless of skill level or point spread. They play only when they are at the top of their game and play to be at the top of their game, anything less is unacceptable.

They use terms like "GG" after a match as some kind of sarcastic remark instead of an honest opinion, using it as a cloak of good sportsmanship when deep down they know it wasnt a good game. Saying "nice try" or "nice shot" to an opponent shows weakness so is avoided at all cost, infact you may never see these gamers type anything aside from "GG". Although they can occasionally be seen spamming taunts during matches their all or nothing approach to gaming means you'll see them often at the end of the match, when they are in practise ofcoarse.


The You might have won, but I'm still better

Gamers who fixate on winning at the cost of everyone's fun - including their own, and going by the "you only won because (...)" mentality. This includes all of the usual stuff like spam, hax, [x weapon] whore, and the cheap tactic that always wins but nobody uses because we're all gentlemens following the unwritten rules.


The Bandwagoners

They think such-and-such game is good or bad just because their friends/a website or mag/popularity says so.

Time to beat: Easily in most games, varies in their game(s) of choice.


The Oracles

They are right about a game no matter what kind of arguement you present and their lack of one. They deny you with ease and sometimes will try to change the subject.

Time to beat: Never in an arguement as they simply toss yours aside, easily in game as they clearly have no experience with games and are often a part of the Halo Players Coalition.


Guitar Hero/Rock Band Whore

They will mock you for playing anything less than expert.


But then again it is so much fun to mock them when they are stumped with a real guitar or drum set. I challenged my friend to playing real drums with me down at [No Advertising!]. Poor guy could not even keep a steady beat, but gloated how he mastered expert rock band drums!

He gave me a ton of excuses but the matter of the fact was that he sucked and being a pro at rock band did not make him a real musician.

Who should Mr. Einstein talk to besides Microsoft and Apple? And how long before his name is (in)famous online?<



OK, so let's say that Einstein is behind the curve, let's say that all of the smart pirates now use torrents rather than p2p programmes.

How many years back in time should Einstein mail his idea before he finds a time period where it will actually matter; 5 or 10?

Fratboys/Popular Kids (AKA The Halo Players Coalition)

These are the gamers who only buy/play a game because it's popular, with no care about how good or bad it is. This group accounts for 99% of all Halo players.

Time to Beat: Varies. Whenever you can catch these people playing something other than Halo, you'll own them so fast it'll make their heads spin. Unfortunately, getting these people to actually try something other than Halo is on par with getting Microsoft to embrace Open Source.



World of Warcraft Addicts

These bastards are constantly thinking about the game. Their entire day is planned around maximizing their login time. These are the people you work with who seem to have no other topic of discussion besides Warcraft. They will tell you over and over about their last Raid in Molten Core, even though you could give less than two sh*ts about both Raids AND Molten Core. They also use leetspeak in everyday speech, mouthing verbal abominations like "Lawl" (lol) and "Pooned" (pwned.) "[Shambalayo] this, I'm rolling a Shaman" is a common phrase among these people.

Time to Beat: Everytime they open their goddamn mouths. And please do it violently and indiscriminately.

No, all but one of them is classed as an adult in the UK, so 18 years means 18 years, 4 years mean 4 years.

Some of you may remember this attack hitting the news last year, well here is the continuation; two of the boys, aged 15 and 16 have minimum terms of 18 and 16 years, the other three, two aged 17 and one aged 16, get between four and five years.

"I dont think I'll go beyond this matter. I've laid my side out and you obivously don't agree
so let us sit at that."

What I don't agree with is your willful continuation of the ill-informed argument regarding The Big Bang.
The problem is that you seem to believe there are only two sides to the argument. One is that the universe came from nothing, the other is that the universe came from nothing but this nothing had something living in it to make it happen, but there are actually three sides to the argument; The universe came from something, and that something is natural.

Leap Before You Look

This kind of gamer will buy a popular game (for example Unreal Tournament) and will go straight to Multiplayer, either online or vs the computer, will naturally lose horribly, and will either:
a) Declare the game is ****, rigged, cheating, and never touch it again
b) Accuse the others of cheating and then disconnect in a huff because they were laughed at for not knowing the Rocket Launcher has a Lock-On ability
c) Start a zealous internet trolling campaign against all fans, sites and forums of the game in question

Time to beat: One run through Single Player and you'll be able to smear his remains halfway accross the universe with little effort.



Bash, Bash, Bash

It took you eight years to reach the pinnacle of skill, mastering every subtlety and nuance of the game, ultimately becoming the alpha and the omega. Your opponent is a twelve year old whos five year old brother helped him pick the "cheap" character because he looks the coolest, and then proceeded to mash the buttons and flail randomly with the stick, flailing and bashing at speeds almost beyond the laws of physics.

Time to Beat: Never, because neither one of you will see that 57 hit super ownage combo coming.

"well from what i understand of the string theory is:
1)it's still in development
2)It still doesnt disprove God
3)still leaves the question did something come from nothing"

So you have done *some* research, that is a start.
1) Keep looking.
2) The scientific quest to understand the universe is not a crusade against God, in fact by definition it has nothing to do with God.
3) Wrong. Do your homework.
