Time for another Team Fortress 2 rant….

WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM?!  You disgustingly creepy bogans will NEVER get a girlfriend when you sound like that.  You say you’re married; a pretend marriage to the pyro DOES NOT COUNT as having a wife.

You can request I get back in the kitchen, demand I make you a sandwich, call me Justin Beiber and question why my balls haven’t dropped all you like – I will still kick your ass, and I’ll look over 9000 times (sorry, had to) better doing it.

No matter what server I went on tonight it was filled with drunken perverts, and no, I’m not going to turn my microphone off and be supressed like they want me to.  I’m better than that and I refuse to tolerate male dominance.  I quite simply take it in my stride and hand it back to them when I’m sitting on top of the score board, laughing.

I was in the top 3 on every server, and they simply couldn’t deal with being beat by a girl.

My conversation with one friend was as follows:

Me:  “Ha, I’m beating you.”
Friend:  “Yeah, you were camping on the cart.”
Me:  “Your score is so bad I can’t even SEE you on the scoreboard.”
Friend:  “THAT’S BECAUSE I WAS PLAYING ENGIE!”
Me:  “Excuses; you can’t take being beat by a girl!”

He was silent after that.  Surprise, surprise – he’s from the clan of notorious trolls that I recently left after getting sick of morons.  I won’t mention who they are because there are people in there I like, but I’m sure you can guess.  This ‘friend’ is the sort of gamer who’s hard to beat, doesn’t like to lose and reacts immaturely to both.  He knows who he is.

GROW UP!

I don’t hate all guys either – just most of you.

I’m not being biased towards one sex, girls suck in game too.  In Team Fortress 2 the majority of them are the kind of girls with high-pitched, nasally voices, IQ’s no bigger than their shoe size who play nothing but medic for hours on end without improvement because they have no lives and they’re only playing for the attention of lonely little boys on the other end of the internet.

Sexism has been weaved into our society so intimately that it’s camouflaged and accepted unconditionally by men and women alike.  For the past few months I have been stomping on it so hardcore, whether it be my family or friends.  I shall continue to do so.

/RANT.

To my close male and female friends:  I love you.  Don’t change.  You know who you are.

I dreamt that I was walking down an American looking suburban street.  The sun was shining in a confronting manner that I didn’t find pleasant.  It was hot and I was sweating uncomfortably.  There was a man wearing a suit walking beside me, but throughout the dream I never saw his face.  I was under the impression he was some sort of detective or police officer.

We came to a house and the man lead me towards it.  It was a small, dirty, run-down house – the yard unkempt and the windows boarded and barred.  The front door was slightly ajar and as I began to push it open I was overwhelmed with the smell of dust and rotting flesh.  The door caught on something and wouldn’t go any further, so I squeezed through the gap, the man following behind me, neither of us saying a word.

The room was dimly lit by sunlight shining through the barred windows and I could see dust floating in the light.  As my eyes adjusted I discovered the source of the smell; twenty or more barely-breathing bodies of old, homeless men lying all over the floor, one of them blocking the door.  I felt mildly sad and wished I could help them, but I had entered the house to look for something and ignored them for the most part.

I began to search, stepping over groaning, skeletal figures and being careful of dirty syringes that were scattered around the place.  I moved left into a small living area, from here I saw another closed door.  I moved towards it and opened it.

Inside was what once would have been a tiny bathroom, but through events unknown had become a room dripping with blood and flesh.  On the floor was the unidentifiable body of either a young woman or a feminine man.  Their skin had been ripped to shreds; their arms were covered in needle wounds and there was a hole through their head with teeth, bone, meat and brains hanging out.

I recoiled, horrified by what I saw.

The man beside me began to radio someone – I couldn’t comprehend what he was saying because I was too traumatised.

Then I woke up.

I never planned to get Pokémon Black or Pokémon White, neither did I didn’t get particularly hyped up about it.  I was vaguely excited but I think I knew deep down it’d be overpriced and I’d just be heartbroken when it came out and I couldn’t afford it.

Well, I bought it last week, which is my reason for not going outside much.

It is fantastic.

The best part of it is I got it cheaper purely because I’m a girl.  Let me explain:

My boyfriend and I went shopping one night and saw it somewhere for $59.  He said he’d buy it for both of us at that price and we decided to shop around to see if we could find it cheaper.  We came across it in another shop with a sign for $49 above it; however the games themselves had $59 on them.   He said he’d go ask someone, I said I’d look at laptops while I waited.

After a while of waiting around, I decided to go look for him to see what was going on.  I came across an employee hanging around the games section and decided to ask him about it myself.  I said the game was marked at $49 and asked him if he would give it to me for that price.  He looked me up and down and asked me to show him the sign with $49 on it.

I showed him the sign and he said it should have been $59, but he’d give it to me to $49 anyway.  At this point, Snags had found me and was standing behind the guy out of his view.  I saw Snags standing there and explained to him that this guy would give us the game for $49.  The salesman turned around, looked at Snags and told us what to tell the cashier before scurrying off in a hurry.

I asked Snags what that was all about, and he explained he had already asked the same guy if he would give him the game for $49 and he had said no.  He asked me how I got it for that price off the same guy; I replied that I’m cuter than he is.

Now, I’m all for equality, woman power and moderate feminism, but if a silly boy is going to go all gaga because I’m a girl gamer then that’s his problem and I’m not going to complain if I benefit from it.  The whole incident made my day.
