DEATH TO THE DOUGHNUTS

Noooo, that is how you spell 'doughnut'.

Sorry, assuming here I will get American visitors that forgot how to spell 'dough', lol. Will they must have done?

Any hoo, I was sent a report to my tablet from my AppyGamer that had a little to do with the announcement of a game called 'No Man's Sky' being delayed.

There are some bizarre people in the world. Very ... bizarre.

Sometimes i even wonder to the percentages of a given population belonging to the bizarre group? After all, naivety seems to be of an extremely high percentage? Perhaps globally? Who knows but blogging about a given subject teachers you more about the subject as well as people interested in said subject. Plus some general things.

There are some very bad people in the world that do and say some very bad things.

Plus there are those that do and say very bad things that are actually just intellectually challenged morons.

You are the bizarreness of this video game report states that Hello Games have stated that they have received 'death threats' .... going to let that sink in for a few moments ... yes, 'death threats' over the announcement that the game had been delayed?!

I'm not being funny or anything and there is a lot of corruption and shit going on with video games companies and publishers. Lots and lots of new tricks to get large sums of money followed by another even bigger sum, in a series of small amounts, to keep you playing.

Then there's the whole, 'this is what the game looks like, we will hype it up but will look like crap when you've bought it' crap.

But, common? Death threats? REALLY?!

I didn't think to look to see if the game was linked to UBI Soft? I grew up with these companies but they have morphed into something quite unpleasant at times. UBI get more complaints than anyone else and have staff and rules that are first idiots and secondly draconian.

There has been a hell of a lot of Earth's resources wasted on a great many people. 'What resources?' I hear you say...

Why oxygen of course!

Do not feed the trolls! Seriously though something has been long overdue about doing something regarding trolls and bad people on the Internet. At least the Police and the Secret Services of this world have been building up a catalogue about who is basically good and who is bad.

I am not sure I would want to see the percentages of those lists of who is good and who is bad?

THE TIMES SHOULD NOT BE A CHANGING

I am having trouble getting into a ... webpage I work with a lot.

Now because of Google...and an email company which might be also to do with Google I have now lost access to this website via a web client or Android App as I took it off my tablet PC because it needs to be fixed! Android and the screen playing up.

Because I had to wipe everything I then had to go back into my page where I do a lot of work...only it would not let me in stating I had typed the wrong password, though I DID?! thinking this had been hacked I then requested a new password, went through all the rigmarole, remember just to get back onto the page I work on, only to then be told yet again for the umpteenth time I had typed the wrong password?!

So I did it again and I sent off the first in a series of messages to the company...still it refused to log me in and I got more frustrated and then...BOOM! Yet another effing company that uses the utterly rude and totally arrogant 'no reply' emails that do not even bother telling you not to reply...until you have sent them three messages!

Fuck me! So many idiots in the world have jumped onto something to make cash without actually brushing up on their skills!!

But then we DO live in a world now where you supposed to give fecking BLOOD...ahem sorry your expected to work for free for umpteen months before they take you on...IF they take you on. Which is so good to do because during that time while your workling for free for some rich twat who does not know his arse from his elbow all the stuff you need to live or simply survive made by companies owned by all the other rich twats...well they let you all have it for free so everythings cool! What? They don't?! What do you mean they DON'T?! So wait, you starve to death working your fingers to the bone while they just siot their getting fatter and fatter and their only...or lets be honest then, MAIN source of entertainment is seeing how many poor people they can make squirm or dance at once?!

Blimey, almost sounds like a middle eastern dictator?! Except they are abit thick and make what they do so obvious to everyone that they cannot deny it. They do though...repeatedly...like parrots, thinking if they say it enough times it will sink in and become accepted?! Oh now wait? That rather sounds like British politicians?!

LMAO!

Anyhoo, joking and dark sarcasm aside...here are the emails for you to read. I am a weeeee bit angry here. But then they are German....I mean arrogant. Hmm I think they are German?!


LOL!

Oh and I cannto tell you who this company is, convenmiently for them if they make themselves look like dicks. Because this is an email I use for things...to do with my...snooping and spying malarkey! I have for awhile but all of a sudden its a major problem!

The first email you read was after I realised that my emails had not gone through that was several hours ago! thank God we do not have to rely on these yet for emergencies but everyone talks about how everytyhing is going to be linked and digitised...so pull your effing fingers out!!

It has always amazed me how people are happy to serve shit to the people! Here Sir, here is some shit...smile and enjoy it cos its all your going to get! Oooh wait?! Someone across the street is serving shit with garnish on it?! We will have to serve shit with two lots of garnish on it!

That is what runs through my head when I see something done half hearted and left like that!

I got into a row with UBI Software because everything about them was obviously directed at kids, even the avatars on their Gaming Software. I also complained about the way they store 'saved games'. It is totally shit in all honesty and amateurish and I for one would not have my own name attached to it or anything about them through embarrassment.

I also asked them for the governing body for complaints...they never answered me. Despite asking them four times and when I did state my anger at how they were obviously targeting children for a cash flow by misleading them and cheating them they rtewarded me by banning my account for two months! LMAO!

Jesus, what will I do until February the 18th 2015?! Oh, wait? It is the 5th March 2015 and I have not even been on that game! Huh, come to think of it it is not even installed!

Plus through reinstalling everything a lot earlier than expected thanks to some very, VERY nasty Chinese malware and snoop ware from the site of none other than HTC I lost my saved games for my copy of Splinter Cell Blacklist!! Want to know just how crap they are at doing things?!

Well my software, Uplay, tells me I have progressed so far through the Blacklist game and yet when I run the game I am at the beginning?! Go to their website for help and they ask you stupid questions like 'Have you switched it off and on again?!' Morons. Again with the arrogance! Its 'Oh we are so special and God like...we cannot do any wrong so must be you and here are the common things layman idiots do!' LOL!

Now maybe other gamers and the like have not noticed this or bothered about it but I am sorry but your too young and your failing to look into it deeper and seeing the truth...

Today it is all about updates and shit, most of which you cannot even see or notice the difference other than the ones where they released a broken game. Did you know this NEVER used to happen?! Did you know that not only did they NOT release broken games but were simply not able to?!

No because if your a fanboy cursing at my own cursing your an arrogant fool! They are using you and m,aking a fool of you, with statements like this always happens and you need to accept it, is complete bullshit...

Video games WERE being sold long before broadband Internet and even BEFORE the Internet you know! Release a broken game then and you were out of business!

Today they release a broken and shite game and at the very best they attempt to then fix a few things and then not bother while running to their banks with your money. At worst they simply do not bother at all!

Fanboys all seem to be blind in one aspect. The facts when it does not sit well with their vision of things and this is because this is gaming we are talking about here. It os one of the most intense of all feelings if not the most intense? I do not mean just humans either and thats the bit that drives the blind fanboys that allow these wankers to walk all over us while taking money they mostly had no right to.

Now there simply should be something in place to complain about these companies and someone should put some rules into practise. Everyone else has to abide by rules that are never ever enforced so why shouldn't they?! LMAO!

Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Blacklist is a great game...or would be one of the greatest on PC had they not been lazy about it and wanting double their money for no extra work while those hadning them the money are taken the piss out of!

When I was gaming previously a few years back things were very different to what they are today and I simply cannot believe half the things I have seen! Even worse is the fact that these are hardly mentioned at all in the media...

Though oddly I have noticed not one but TWO articles relating to things I complained about on my computing blog...ooh you didn't know about my computing blog? Or my Astronomy blog? Yeah that one been neglected I admit, but not for much longer. How about my Music blog? Film blog? Wildife blog? Reptiles, Amphibians and Fish blog? Hehe there are a few others too but I do cover problems in different industries...only to then see them covered in the media a few weeks or months later!

Well be it a coincidence, yeah right, or not at least all of these issues are being rbought to the fore one at a time! If this has happened ten years ago I would not have all these things to complain about then explain how it works and post on a blog! Lol!

Err I think you get were I was heading with that lot?

As I staed before there are a few things in the pipeline and I think I stated before my blood pressure is finally down through these Amlopodine drugs? tested yesterday, or I did, and iut was 121 which is good. A lot better than it was at 169! However I have spent one day really ill, a few afternoons feeling ill and the last couple of afternoons...err stoned! There is no other way to describe what has happened...or what I have felt like since last Sunday when I was ill...really ill and nauseous all day..or the vast majority of the day short maybe a couple of hours.

Today I was trying to get out the house, trying to find things I needed to go out that I needed to do, wonder if I should go out on my bike as the sun was shining, looked for stuff I cannot find and eventually...the stoned feeling bathed me in its warm glow and that was it! No getting out the house.

Oh and you do not need to to look very far to find many disgruntled people and gamers about the way things are and yet everyone sits their just watching these things happen.

With everything its a case of 'well its only a little...' or ... 'it would hardly notice...' but I am afraid that this got bolderr and bolder and bolder while more and more people did it.

Lots and lots of small pieces make one big jigsaw puzzle you know! You...have played with jigsaw puzzles? You...do...know what they are and how they work? Lol!


Anyhoo here is my steaming off again ...


Dear ***** ...

Oooh arrogant, ignorant and cock sure of yourselves, are you?!

Do not use no reply emails as it shows your arrogance and its bad netiquette to to mention downright rude!!

Ones I replied to earlier while wasting my time yet again... YOUR NOW COSTING ME MONEY SO I SUGGEST YOU NOW PULL YOUR THUMBS OUT OF YOUR REAR ENDS!!

EARLIER...

NOPE!!!

Still happening and you did not read my email...a bit odd for people offering an email service!

What in the world are you doing?

It is an email service that falls over upon entering the correct passwords?!

Are you..serious!!

Thirty years I have been using emails and never ever come across this problem. I have provided a picture showing that even after waiting several hours end then following your instructions, although I had already explained to you that I had already tried this but which you decided to either take no notice of or bother to read, it still does not work!

Maybe you should give up and do and do clipart?

I suggest you alter your webpages so that when people click things you do not make a statement that is false!!

Just saying!

I DID NOT ENTER A WRONG COMBINATION!!

Ooh yeah I am also now getting a server error!

Are you new to IT and the equpiment?

NOT LIKING AWKWARD QUESTIONS

This is not the something big coming...that is still coming it seems. Will be this week and it states tomorrow but that might not be the actual date.

Anyway this is not it ...

I mentioned before that I had been playing my first online game and it is very suspicious in thew way it plays. On mentioning it to one UBI Soft they came out with something extremely annoying and not really been a problems, well in developed countries, for a couple decades. Maybe one? I cannmot remember. But it was 'lag'.

Now Lag is when your connection is slow. Basically what happens is your connection is getting the data to map everything out you can see late. Think of it like lightning and thunder where the flash is the static letting rip but the noise comes so many seconds later?

So if someone is running across your line of sight and you have some serious lag then despite the fact they seem to appear in front of you...they are already gone.

This was a serious issue when everyone was using dial-up modems with a 56k connection. Even when ADSL came out it was still an issue. However when broadband came out...BOOM! No issues unless your lied to about your broadband. Yes I do have some issues with my 3G broadband connection but bizarrely the issues only crop up on some things and with some devices it worse than others?!

My web surfing on my desktop computer that has a 4 CPU core and 8 GPU core (general computing for CPU and Graphics and Gaming for GPU) and surfs pretty much OK. Oddly my supposedly super fast Advent Tegra Note 7 tablet with its nVidia Tegra 4 chip having 5 cores is slow and the Amazon App is bloody useless, often given me a blank screen when I select an item. Bad business because this is costing them a lot of money! You would think they would get that right? Well its not just restricted to my tablet and the same occurs on my Moto G too?! Surfing the wb is a bit slower on the tablet than on the desktop.

Now heres the thing! I am afraid this is topsey turvey and I have known for some time now that something is wrong and deliberately so. There is a damn good chance this is to manipulate people into buying another device for the latest service. Oh yeah and I might as well mention that 4G is crap apparently according to fgures I have seen and there is a new modem chip coming out in Samsung phones later in 2015. Most tech journalists seem to think this will ber called 5G!

I did state that this 4G and the pricing, by EE mainly, was decidedly iffy as well as wrong. I am rarely wrong...oh it does happen trust me on that but the majority of the time and am normally in the ball park somewhere.

Anyway I asked some very ... awkward questions about their pricing as I keep getting hit in the face everytime I start the game to give them, ANOTHER, £20 for things that are only cosmetic and you wont notice. Well that is until you kill someone and they get shown who shot them and all the toys I have when i did that?!

What the FECK UBI Soft? Was this designed for 5 year olds?! Lol.

Plus I hate this pay to win crap and am already giving tyhe industry a headache over this which will only get more painful over the next year or two. One stupid arse developer stated thats the way its going?! Translated this means "We want to be far more lazy but increase the millions we already have coming in!" It also is a problem because they are no longer games anymore. They just are not!

Hmm a comparison?

Right if your fron anywhere in the world and your into football, if your American you can think your American foootball if you wish. Let us assume you all have a team you supprt avidly? If you do not imagine that you did, or something similar.

Right now think of your teams arch enemy? My team is Tottenham Hotspur or Spurs as I like to call them. Not the American nasketball team, no. Their arch rivals are Arsenal. Manchester United's change a fair deal and was Liverpool but more Manchester City of late.

OK now the big derby is coming up? Your all excited and your in the stadium or in front of the TV waiting for the teams to appear when they announce that your team has to play bare footed while the others do not? Fair?

If it is not fair does it remain a game? Quite simply, no.

Angrily I tried to explain this to UBI Soft and I had already pointed out that I was shot in the head behind a wall that I did not even peek up from?!

Also and jusy yesterday I filmed a seqence where my team was being thrashed, I ended up with awards at times like this because I get more determined. Me and a  team mate was in a room and despite the fact I had thought and hoped the game would be tactical, well it IS called Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Phantoms, instead everyone just runs around shooting people. Well how it works it someone shoots someone else who then gets shot, respawn and repeat. Sometimes if your lucky and focused you can get what is called a Kill Streak together. But this particular time we are in this room. There is a squad team mate and an opponent. I have shot the opponent several times and so has my team mate. While gtting frustrated yet again at the effing physics they insist exist in the game the opponent jumps down so he is lying on the floor. I am still shooting him as is my team mate. He then manages to shoot me and kill me and then my team mate?!

When you have been tactical and managed to remain hidden, worst if your right behiond someone and shoot them in the head, shoot someone a few times and then have them turn around and shoot you dead?!

Effing stupid! Stupid, stupid, stupid! It is incompetent and I did use that word. In fact the whole game has you believing that your actually getting your arse kicked because he has better armour or weaponry. So you then buy some things to get up to their level and its fair...or so you think, lol. The reality is very much different I am afraid to say meaning that you just spent a load of money on things that were merely cosmetic.

It does not end there are there are...well all I can describe is colured items of both weaponry and clothing somer of the designs based on games like the different Assassins Creeds and Splinter Cell among others. Now if you saw what they were asking you of these items its incredible. Three or four times the price of the standard items. They have a slight improvement in armour defence or damage to opponents over the standard items but it will be neglibible. In fact this is true when going up from one tier to another in the weapons and the improvements are only a fraction of that jump in the specs.

Without working it out I am sure some items cost about the same as a full price full game? Like Dragon Age Inquisition or Call Of Duty Advanced Warfare, yes, yes OK the latter was extremely short I know! Lol.

So the price of a whole game for a single item within the game?! Now consider there are dozens and dozens of items.

This to me is trapping kids into hading over stacks of cash. Not good.

I more or less said this to them when I complained and I stated "No wonder you give the game away for free?!" Lol.

After I typed out a post about the big event that has just occured I then attempted to log on and got a message, now they have had about £50 out of me, that my account was suspended?! Lol.

But I made a couple of transactions yesterday and I also do not cheat. I hate cheating because as I said earlier it is a game, like chess. You work out the puzzle and find a way to win while looing at some nice scenery along the way. Plus you can have interactions and discussions...inteligent ones I hope when I get around to it in a few weeks time?!

Anyway here is a screen shot after my accusations of them cheating people, well kids, out of money, lol...
