It's so stupid to say that someone had the opportunity to sort themselves out and didn't, that who cares she was just a druggy. Just because someone doesn't find the strength, or the things that made them turn to drugs in the first place are still there in their lives, doesn't mean they deserved to die.
When you have a serious addiction like that, you don't enjoy it, it consumes you. Sometimes you can beat it, but it's not as simple as just stopping. Once you know that you can escape all of the pain in the world and how to do it, it takes an iron will to not use that as a fallback. Money can't buy your mental health clearly. The stupidity of anyone who uses hard drugs is the fact they tried it in the first place. Everyone knows the huge risk you take. After that, it's just Russian roulette.
I agree with deathcow, I thought she'd find her happy place one day and defeat it, she spent 2 years cleaning herself up when she took herself out of the limelight and moved away. Seems like she should have never gone back.




I never said she deserved to be dead,I said I didn't care. She could stop the life she was living,it takes courage to do that. And trust me,I know is not easy,but she could do better.I am just so tired of all this BS about her "oh what a legend" "oh she was so real" I speak for my personal own experience and I am here today because I chose to live. If you Live hard you die fast.

Hear, hear. I couldn't agree with you more. So many people seem ready to crow that she had it coming, as if somehow the fact that she had problems with drink and drugs meant that she somehow deserved to die from them. Alcohol and drugs can be pleasurable, of course, and pretty much all of us choose to indulge in either or both to a greater or lesser extent, but nobody chooses addiction.

@Matthu

There's quite a lot of advantages to them, let me list:

1 - Virtually latency free. It depends a lot on where you live but if you reside in say Australia, the average person has 0.5mbps to 1mbps upload if that. That is simply not something that can support 32, let alone the maximum 16 players in MW2. Where it does, you're looking at a ping of 100+, which makes the game feel noticeably imprecise and usually spiky. This is probably less of an issue on consoles since controllers are generally less responsive and lead to slower gameplay than with a mouse. If you don't believe me, google some youtube clips of a cross platform game and compare PC to console gameplay, it's really quite obvious. This is also likely why P2P matchmaking has always been fine on consoles.

2 - Competitive mods. The fact is MW1 was simply not balanced towards being a fair competitive game out of the box. Grenade launchers as an example are cheap, and not really counterable in any way shape or form. 3x nades, especially if used by a whole team and lobbed in particular locations for S&D makes the game Russian Roulette. That's not even getting into the atrocious gun balance or the ridiculousness of perks.

Even in MW1 which was comparatively pretty tame, in Team Deathmatch modes, easily 2/3, if not more of my kills would consistently be Air Strike/Chopper kills. The point is, IW made the game in the interest of appealing to the masses, making it easy to gain kills and generally allowing far too many ways to score cheap kills. MW2 took this 10 steps further. Which is why in the competitive scene on PC, MW2 is a shell of what MW1 was.

3 - Community - Like you said yourself, you can regularly play on the same server and get to know people over time. Without it, unless you /friend them straight away, there's a chance you'll never see them again.

As a game with good graphics, whiz-bang explosions and lots of action, honestly it delivers, but if you're looking for a game that rewards skill, and where half your deaths and kills weren't based on luck then you should really be looking elsewhere.

And yeah, like westy said in his usual incomprehensible way, it's hilarious to see Black Ops stealing ideas from PC.

Especially GunGame which as far as I know originated from a mod. You know, the feature they removed in MW2?

Oh sweet irony, which unfortunately will be lost on most.

A joke? It's a metal pipe filled with explosives and metal fragments with no aiming at all. Anyone living in the area is playing russian roulette on a daily basis.

I get it that going pro-Palestinian is very easy, especially when this is the top of their technology when it comes to warfare, but fuck. It's a missile fired against a civilian population. There's no way to aim it, so they target cities, figuring it's bound to land around people (though most of the time it doesn't). It's packed with metal fragments to make sure that if it lands around people it'll cause injuries.

So yeah. If it lands on asphalt, all it's going to do is leave a black circle. That makes it totally harmless, right? .....

Wow! First off why in the world would anyone think this would be a fun wedding game?!?! Second off aren't you supposed to use a revolver in Russian roulette? Thirdly, I'm amazed that others seemed eager to take their turn. This is definitely a top candidate for EIA awards.

I'm utterly friggen horrified on a number of levels, but upvote as I want to know the full story on this.

I completely agree with you in that he didn't pull the trigger on himself at all...

OK... I've now gone to the youtube video, and looked at The Daily Mail article about it.

HE is a complete fucktard who said "I wanted to perform my party trick. I expected lots of applause after I did it and never guess someone would repeat it." What kind of fucking brain-dead, shit for brains idiot would think that you'd get applause for pretending to play Russian roulette? I mean seriously? How small is your fucking brain? If HE had shot himself in the head then there probably would have been no damage, just a bullet going into an empty cavity.

DICK.

The other guy is a complete moron for doing it also though, who puts a gun to their head and pulls the trigger, jesus... but the first guy is pretty much entirely at fault here.

"I ask unanimous consent to revise my script, and also revise the manner in which the people of a very large country are handed hours of diversion in order to distract my otherwise functional and fully capable fellow humans who I have to share my planet with, from paying attention to what matters, what is best for them, and what won't make them functionally impaired dysfunctionals, so that we may begin the process of beneficial evolution...and stop playing a game of fucking Russian roulette with a howitzer."

Eat the righteous food and you won't need a doctor, monkeys!

oh wait...can't do that...corporations grow that shit for us now....fuck it...vote for someone who will fix all our ills and gimme the red pill..........

ACK!!
