Only thing you might be missing Ig is that Microsoft requires every game have 1000 achievement point earned by doing various things in the game, Uncharted has a similar system of awarding 1000 medal points by collecting every 5 treasures, getting so many kills with each weapon, etc. The major difference is that achievement points are a completely pointless, somewhat childish marketing gimmick used for nothing but bragging rights(a-spec anyone?) on Xbox live. Medal points actually unlock rewards in game, different costumes, weapons, several making of movies and art galleries, etc.
I was kinda being an ass about it with my question, but was only attempting to try to make Shady think or do research enough to figure it out himself. Auron just flipped out like a fucking madman.

on the topic of that last phrase, about flipping like madmen, do we not do that to anyone who asks an idiot question? look how that topic by Body_Rock got way out of hand (it was fucking fun, but way out of hand anyway).

Yes maybe, but it that case he was clearly asking for trouble.

It's different when someone asks a completely inane question and then continues with an opinion that happens to be completely unpopular on the board than when someone outright flames someone for a perfectly reasonable response.
In no way was cisco's response inappropriate, whether he meant it like that or not. The way I see it is that you have to read everything on an internet message board as literally as possible to avoid as much trouble as you can. If it's not completely obvious sarcasm(as it would only be if you knew some background about the poster), then you have to assume they're being literal in their wording. Even if you do get it wrong then, you can always claim that what they said and what they meant are two different things and that tone of voice doesn't work over the internet. This guy that responded to cisco completely missed this lesson of Internet 101, apparently.

I do things the opposite. Anything that could be normally sarcasm, is. since that's usually what it is.

BTW, since we were on the topic of cutlery and cookware earlier, I decided to go ahead and post a pic of my all-steel Chicago Cutlery® kitchen knives:  They're pretty sharp (looking and cutting), and they're VERY easy to keep clean, even when I've been slicing on some bloody chicken breast. NOTHING smells quite as nasty as old, rotten chicken blood... |

I kinda sorta owned my neighbor this morning.
Once again, my neighbor decided it would be cool if he started blasting music at 9 in the morning. Not only that, it sounds like it's coming from a surround system or at least something with a cheap subwoofer in his BEDROOM. The way our apartments are set up, the neighboring bedrooms are right next to each other.
So, once again, I wake up to the thumps and other f@ggy sounds of the ONE cd this retard apparently owns. No B.S., it's always the same cd, I've heard it so many times I can tell now. So, I, being freshly woken up and wanting to go directly back to sleep, knock on the wall so that maybe he'll have a brain and get the message. All I get in response is something like "that f@cker is banging on the wall again". So I immediately knock on the wall again and hear "stop knocking on the f@cking wall!". I respond unusually nicely with "turn the music down, I'm trying to sleep!". Does he? No.
Now I'm a bit pissed, so I get out of bed in my pajama-sweats and put on some fluffly warm slippers and go outside. I cross over to his door and knock. At this point, I can hear murmurs inside, I'm guessing they're talking about what they should do. They decide not to answer the door, because the 2nd time I knock, one of the idiots just yells from wherever the hell he was in the apartment "what do you want?". I ask them to turn their music down, because I was sleeping since I work real late at night. The guy says "ok", but then, like a true fucktard, doesn't turn the music down.
So, I called management AGAIN, and left them a message about what happened. Luckily, after about 10 more minutes, the music gets turned off because the little gheys left (management isn't there on sundays, of course). That part doesn't sound like ownage, I know, but I thought that the fact that they thought they could wake people up by being such morons, call them the f word, and then shat bricks when I showed up in my PAJAMAS and FLUFFY slippers was PRICELESS. Gotta love it when you call multiple guys bluffs in a situation like that. Who's the f@cker, now, little Mr. I Can't Answer The Door Because I'm A Little B!tch?

Ya know what you do next time? You wait for them to leave, and leave the door unlocked. you then slash out the stereo's speakers/woofers, right before you go to work. Boom, alibi, and, you get sweet revenge.

Awwwww.... I'm sorry you had such a rough morning, but it IS funny how those retards (with a deer skull outside their door for no reason) were scared of you when you were in your fluffy slippers. I wish I hadn't missed that moment.  |

What no one appears to know is that the bunny slippers were made from the skins of not one but two of the evil Killer Rabbits of Caerbannog. And just so you know, he did not have to resort to the Holy Hand Grenade. He was able to kill them by pointing at each of them and saying "Bang."
Honestly, if that guy showed up at my front door to complain about my music, I don't think I'd answer either...
