I. Game addiction and Game Companies exploiting human behavior for benefit

Interesting article about how some companies are exploiting human behavior by hiring human behavior experts/psychologists and using them to make games more [addictive and fill voids] in one's life. (Article gets creepier as you read--read all of it!)

II. Accused cheater gets stabbed in the head with kitchen knife. (Warning, strong images ahead)

III. Microsoft accused of using teenage 'slave labour' to build Xboxes in China

4. The NYPD Tapes pt.1 Pt. 2
(Guaranteed to blow your mind)

Wow! That's crazy!! Some people take gaming to the next level. Yes I know I get mad at "cheaters" too, hehehe, but I don't think I would actually try to "kill" someone in real life :|

i used to play CS in a cafe too. people would just get off their chair and yell stuff at eachother, but nothing like this!! that motherfucker was c-c-crazy!!

once, i stayed at the cafe for too long that my car got towed. the owner called them so that they can bring my car back ..anyway, on my 20-30 minute wait, a crazy ass lady tried to attack us. it was hilarious!! she 1st came outside asking what happened, then she told me about different conspiracies to why my car got towed. she was friendly at first, but i'm not sure what i said that she turned against us. "oh, you're ONE OF THEM!!" it was scary and funny at the same time. she fucking chased us with a cane, kept on spitting and saying how the cops where on her side. the government had her back, and i was going to get what i deserved!! she even showed us some kind of ID, it was hilarious. the tow truck then showed up to pick us up and she got even louder, "OH, I FUCKING KNEW IT!! YOU ARE WITH THEM!! THOSE ARE THE PEOPLE THAT KILLED MY FAMILY." the tow truck driver got to spit at that lady and he even threw something at her. i tried convincing him to run her over, but it didn't work! hehe ..anyway, it was funny.

yes, playing in internet cafes is pretty Fn fun. it's a way better gaming experience, but those places always have crazy people!

So you're the one my grandma was bitching about!


Yeah, the guy who did the stabbing must have been in the "red zone". It would need to be a very violent strike to put more than 3/4 of the blade in a skull.

I just noticed how most us responded to the sensationalist article about the stabbing, yet we all refused to diverge on the other one.

Are we sensationalists? (sensationalism - subject matter that is calculated to excite and please vulgar tastes)

Discuss.

i don't know, the first one was pretty long. i'm yet to finish reading the whole article. the 2nd one was just faster to read. i was sort of more interested in the second one, since i used to spend a lot of time playing video games in those LAN places. i just thought it was fucked up that something like that would even happen, over a video game! ..unless there was a bet involved? i don't know.

anyway, i'll try to finish the other article too.

I'm not sensationalist--even to my own surprise; I listed the things I don't like in niche flicks (one way to find out if you are or not). Every time I see something of the nature I nod my head and tell myself why is this content here in the first place.

And this comes from someone who's seen just about every horror movie there is worth mentioning.


* edit, and Robot, stop trying to read the rest of the article, it seems it has become a burden. (lol)
