New Metallica song - Moth into flame
Blacked out
Pop queen, amphetamine
The screams crashed into silence
Tapped out
Doused in the gasoline
The high times going timeless
Decadence
Death of the innocence
The pathway starts to spiral
Infamy
All for publicity
Destruction going viral
Light it up
Ah, light it up
Another hit erases all the pain
Bulletproof
Ah, kill the truth
You’re falling, but you think you’re flying high
High again
Sold your soul
Built a higher wall
Yesterday
Now you’re thrown away
Same rise and fall
Who cares at all?
Seduced by fame
A moth into the flame
Twisted
Backstabbing wicked
The delusion absolution
Perjurer
Fame is the murderer
Seduce you into ruin
Light it up
Ah, light it up
Another hit erases all the pain
Bulletproof
Ah, tell the truth
You’re falling, but you think you’re flying high
High again
Sold your soul
Built the higher wall
Yesterday
Now you’re thrown away
Same rise and fall
Who cares at all?
Seduced by fame
A moth into the flame
Burn
Guarantee your name, you go and kill yourself
The vultures feast around you still
Overdose on shame and insecurity
If one won’t do that fistful will
Death scene
Black hearse the limousine
A grave filled with seduction
Vaccine
Fame does the murdering
She builds up for destruction
So light it up
Ah, light it up
Another hit erases all the pain
Bulletproof
Ah, no excuse
You’re falling, but you think you’re flying high
High again
Sold your soul
Built the higher wall
Yesterday
Now you’re thrown away
Same rise and fall
Who cares at all?
Seduced by fame
A moth into the flame
Addicted to the
Fame
How To Correct Donald Trump In Real Time
Matt Lauer needs to burn in the flames in infamy for that---and he needs to be joined by his entire production staff. Everything Donald got away with was predictable.
Confronting him--and having Donald go to 11 or walk out of the interview---would have been better TV AND better journalism---that's the pity of it.

Well, he wanted free stuff... now he has free infamy. Congrats!
Samantha Bee on Orlando - Again? Again.
We have always been a gun violence culture up until the post WW2 era. Think frontier, wild west, duels, and mafia shootouts. We glorify violence everyday, we even give sickos who shoot up groups of people mass media coverage. For a person who wants to go out in a blaze of infamy, we are custom tailored to give them their last 15 minutes of 'fame'.
Again, we have a nebulous definition of what it takes to get on the watch list. I could be placed on it simply by stating something to the effect that "I support ISIS", even though I don't. Restricting people who manage to end up on a government list is the same as removing their right to a firearm after committing a felony offense, only you have removed every single bit of their right to a legal defense. There is no due process to being placed on a US watchlist, you get put on and fuck you if it was a mistake. Maybe they'll take you off later, who knows?
I am not going to defend a slippery slope argument on this, I don't have to. It's already happened in the years since 2001. The Patriot Act, meant to be a well intended set of rules to help us protect ourselves, has been perverted to lessen quite a few of our rights. Not only our rights, but other countries. We have violated their security, spied on their people and leaders, and we perform acts of war on their territories with impugnity. All because we lost two buildings and 2,996 people; a heinous act, but one our government exploited to put us into 2 wars with a death toll to people who may not even be our enemies that dwarf our loss. In short, we fucking have the slippery slope process down to a SCIENCE.
@Mordhaus
The idea of US being a gun violence culture just makes no sense to me. A gun ownership culture among a subset of the population sure, but a culture of resolving conflict with violence? No, it's a product of gun availability. The numbers ChaosEngine quoted on guns / 100 people really is the unique differentiator that makes murder rates some 5-20x the developed country average.
Poverty leading to crime, poor mental health treatment are the tinder but the easy access to weapons is what leads to the death tolls to combust incomparable to any other developed country. Also if legislators can't pass gun control after Sandy Hook, or even restrict people on or previously on the terrorist watch-list from buying guns then the idea of any kind of slippery slope is farcical.
Video Game Puzzle Logic
Monkey Island games were always wacky and difficult puzzles simply because it required you to think of objects in such ways as to break the fourth wall of the game itself. Guybrush and his infinite pocket space.
Also note, these are good games despite their frustrating bits. There were far more frustrations prior to the days where you are given dialog choices, when you were required to type in all of the dialog options using key words. Cough, cough, older Tex Murphy games and just about every text adventure from the dawn of home computers.
I loved those games, but many of them turned into puzzles that maybe one person in the family finally figured out after brute force trying thousands of combinations of objects with each other. I did that multiple times in the original Myst. I think there was one passcode that took close to 10,000 attempts. LOL!
Or how about games that had dead ends but didn't alert the player? Cough, cough Maniac Mansion. People could die, but as long as one person was left alive, the game never ended, even though only the bad endings are left. But it's not like modern games, some of the bad endings were themselves puzzles, and some deaths lead to a half good and half bad ending, like winning a lottery and then having a character abandon the plot altogether because he/she is rich and then THE END.
Those were the days. None of this FNAF shit -- which is really what deserves the infamy of terrible, convoluted puzzles...
Before video games became as massively popular as they are today, it wasn't always a requirement to make your game easily solved and you were not always provided with prompts for failure or success until many grueling hours, days, months, sometimes YEARS of random attempts. How many families bought a Rubik's Cube versus how many people solved it without cheating and learning the algorithms from another source?
Go back hundreds or thousands of years and it wasn't common for chess or go or xiangqi (the most popular game in the entire world TODAY) to come with rules at all, so only regions where national ruling boards were created will there be standardized rules; so, the truth, rules, patterns, and solves of games have traditionally been obfuscated and considered lifelong intellectual pursuits; and, it's only a recent, corporatized reimagining of games that has the requirement of providing your functional requirements and/or game rulings so as to maintain the value of its intellectual property. I mean, look at how Risk has evolved since the 1960s -- now there's a card that you can draw called a "Cease Fire" card which ends the game, making games much shorter and not epic at all. Easy to market, but old school players want the long stand offs -- I mean, if you're going to play Risk... TO THE BITTER END!
Japanese Dolphin Hunt Condemned By World
Look People.
Quite frankly, that comment from dag with that fucked-up, 'where-in-the-fuck-from-as-far-left-field-as-possible-did-THAT-come-from tone, timbre, pitch, and timing????? IS, in all my infamy here, about as close as it gets to me never coming back here to play again and telling this place to fuck completely off.
Just so all you who know or care and could give a fuck.....RIGHT?!
Someone, ANYONE, tell me why I should even fucking bother?
Because, looky....I KNOW you motherfuckers, all of you that play here nice or otherwise, need people like me, like....ME-
NOW. Everyone say that last sentence above to yourselves aloud, replacing the words 'you' and 'me' with the words "me' or 'you', and you begin to see how fucking insane you are all to you.
Ok now, @SDGundamX (you glorious fucker)
Agreed. You now have the esteemed privilege and honor to hold the leash and take me out for my pee-pees and poo-poos.
I will make no pot-stirring promises as to the emotional viability or culpability of certain users here, especially not of that of my own-self, as I cherish both pot and the stirring of pots.
CCTV footage of Brisbane gunman's mall siege
Hope in evidence unseen-Death by police gets easier everyday to accomplish here...Now, death by secret service?? There's the infamy badge-Cops shoot first and be-damn the questions later..
Well, lucky for him, it wasn't in the US, then. He may not think so at this point but one day he will .
His gun was unloaded, He was trying to get police to shoot him. Must be a tough life where a guy has to live with so much anger and pain, that he self destructs in this way. Hope he gets the help he needs so badly.

choggle's comments = ++ crazy good. I imagine him as Mel Gibson in Conspiracy Theory. Please comment more Choggle, you could become a VS institution like Westy.
Choggle a VS institution? Nah, can't see it happening.
Louis CK on Daily Show. My Two Favorite Things.
Attention to a cause is the point of terrorism, even if they don't do it for the personal infamy they're doing it to draw attention to something and publicising them is in part publicising their cause.
I'm just worried about the next kid that wants to get on the cover of Rolling Stone while expressing his grievances in a heinous way.
Fame and attention doesn't motivate all terrorists, but it motivates many of them. Consider the unabomber, who explicitly demanded attention (forcing major newspapers to print his manifesto) in order to stop his attack spree.
Make people despise you: Judge children by their names

My own first child's name has infamy written all over it....
slapping an idiotic name on your kids can affect them for their entire life,
Barbara Boxer worked so hard for her title
@ drachen_jager-Why really give a fiddlers-fuck? Part of the blankfist's infamy is self-endorsement and grand-standing and he has more than a few fans-I've been perusing accounts and dropping promotes all morning to satisfy my own devices so, there ya go. Good work on scanning those radar screens, great insect work! Srsly tho, give the poor guy the benny of the doubt till he jets and see what happens, this place needs some perky tats and enormous heads...livens the place up!
There's a place in my world for you cat-fart-man, always has been, always will be

What's up with the high suspicions around here?
I'm Your Puppet (for blankfist)
i love Blankfist but fuck him-"May he rear his ugly mug and show himself for the wanna-be-here-sock-puppet-fuck that he chooses to remain, no love lost or anything but a welcome back open door should he decide to discard infamy/ego for proper pajamas-
The History of VideoSift Part I (Blog Entry by dag)
*quality
I must have showed up here after about 4-6 months in (choggie)and I recall being scrutinized by a senior member(farhad2000) through e-mail as to my politics, spirituality, etc. Soon realizing my opinions on most pop-culture, spiritual/religious views, and (A)political sensibilities were center to right of most children here, I set out not for laud or praise from the developmentally-disabled, but for infamy whether I wanted it or not....and that by accident.
Thank you all for your patience and willingness to grow together with folks much more talented and hipper than themselves, while maintaining a healthy sense of humor and hopefully, using that interaction to cultivate themselves.
Thanks to all, we have gotten many years out of this cheap trolling motor purchased used with very few hours of previous operation by one owner.
