#17961 Re: The Garden » Self Esteem » 959 weeks ago
As far as perceiving how people are online, self esteem issues get tossed on the side. Online, people can be how they want to be without any limits or possible judgment by other people. Like Pasnow said, he has trouble talking in a crowd of ten, but I bet he could talk your head off in a chat room filled with a hundred people.
Its one of the reasons people get so tangled up in the online world. You can be how you really feel. There was actually a mainstream news article recently about how people are giving up in droves on personal relationships, friendships,etc. over their online world. This is an epidemic.
Self esteem issues do come out of some people online, the "internet tough guys" the perfect example of that. Other examples would be men who act like women or trolls.

Yeah, Nintendo is reclaiming the throne. I don't think anything can stop it.
I'm glad that Sony continues to get negative remarks everywhere. I don't hate Sony. Far from it. The first and second Playstation did great things for the industry. However, ps3 needs to be discontinued. It has been a clusterfuck from the beginning, and will never dig itself out of the hole they are in. They need to scrap it and start fresh with a new console. If/when they launch a new console, they need to let ps3 owners get a huge discount on it and start mending their relationship with its dying fanbase.
The atari name needs to be retired. Its not even really atari. Other companies have bought the name over the years. The name doesn't hold any power, influence, or mystique anymore, and its foolish to continue it.

How do you upset a team that scores 40 points a game? You don't. You think Washington can put up 45-50 points against NE?
I can understand you getting sick of the NE hype. I remember that hype surrounding the 98-99 Vikings and it was vomit inducing. They deserved some of that hype, but everyone went overboard with it.
NE is different than any other team that had the chance to go undefeated. They play in an era where there is mediocrity across the board. Teams that will likely go 8-8 have a shot at the playoffs.
Other teams in their position had alot of close games. NE blows out teams at will.

I'm not seeking out the bad. It just reminds me of the Oh My God situation because expectations were really high. Everyone was waiting for it. The reality check after people heard it was unreal. I can see why he got cold feet regarding CD/2000 Intentions.
Yeah, its not a GNR release. Neither was that soundtrack. Like that soundtrack, the thing that sticks out on this is Axl's presence and the fact he is being used as the promotional tool to get the word out.
The chances of this playing out identical to that soundtrack are slim, but the chance is there. Oh My God was the worst song on that, and I highly doubt the Axl songs on this record will be the worst.
We'll just have to see how this plays out.
This would have been much better if it had happened after a CD release, like how Axl was on albums in between Lies and UYI.

Only thing thats going to stop the Pats going undefeated is the Colts or Brady getting injured.
A friend of mine recently used the phrase "The way the Patriots are playing, I think they're going to win their bye week"
The only reason they might not go undefeated would be because they'll have homefield throughout wrapped up by week 12 or so the way they're playing. They could just put Brady and Moss and whoever else in for a quarter to keep the rust off, then take them out to avoid injury.
Yeah, Belichick is gonna have to consider that when the season is winding down and homefield is wrapped up. Gonna be a tough decision. Brady may refuse to sit because he knows he's on a record setting pace.

Well, it might look like he doesn't care about media response, but he clearly does. If he didn't give a shit what people thought, CD(or 2000 Intentions) would have been released in 1999. The negative reaction to Oh My God threw the project into a tailspin, and they still haven't completely recovered from that.
I'm not against this release. I look forward to these songs. However, it is definitely a cause for concern that in 2007 we are possibly being handed another Oh My God situation. If this album tanks on the charts and is shit on by media and fans, the future will be looking pretty bleak.
I wish we could get some concrete news before this album is released.

I'd shoot myself before I would watch anything with Drew Carey in it.

I dont get why everyone is so harsh towards Beta. I think its jealousy.
The last person in the world I would be jealous of is Beta......
You gotta admit from the things we have heard over the years, it is definitely a strange situation to say the least.
