that you feel compelled to belittle others for celebrating the achievement of their goals indicates your own feelings of inadequacy and lack of direction. eburbeck, i sincerely hope that you can some day develop desires and goals, and through the achievement of those things begin to sense within yourself the confidence and satisfaction with your efficacy to never again rely on the direction of negativity toward others as a sacrificial straw-man meant to appease the mad god that is the raging abyss of ignorance and self-loathing locked safely away behind secret door to your hidden self masqueraded as a bookshelf, colorful and creaseless bindings of unread literary classics strategically arranged so as to afford both the impression of sophistication and the momentary sense of aesthetic satisfaction necessary to convince those mindless enough that your character possesses substance enough to render further investigation burdensome and unnecessary.
i see behind the cracked and peeling and cheap veneer haphazardly nailed to cover the buckling structure of your existence, eburbeck, and i am neither impressed nor amused. mostly, i am saddened at the wasted energy that has contributed to and culminated in this inept and incompetent display of pitiful self-affirmation.
if you need somebody to talk to, eburbeck, about the problems in your life, please do not hesitate to imsg demiurge.
lol was just a joke and an attempt to get some off-topic/pointless thread going on ESR. I'm a perfectly well-adjusted adult, so i can see why, if taking my thread seriously, you'd think i have major personal issues to deal with. but knowing it's a joke...lighten up dude!
and as for my goals, i don't really feel the need to explain my personal goals to you, but i can at least let you know that i'm generally pushing to become better at quake - i'd like to be around 1800 elo on a regular basis - but other things in life take priority (wife, travel, work, friends, etc), so i can't always dedicate a lot of time to getting better at an inconsequential game. other than that, if you're in the Ann Arbor, MI, i'd be happy to get together for a beer so we can actually get to know each other in person - i'm willing to bet that we'll both be surprised at how normal and nice the other guy is. lemme know!
thanks ('twas a mediocre goal anyway)! and nice achievement of your equally-mediocre goal as well! *high five*
seriously though, i've got no animosity toward you, and it's sweet that you hit your goal, and i enjoy duelling you, so i hope you didn't take any of this nonsense seriously. see you soon!
it's too late for redirection of your animosity, eburbeck. since you're so brilliantly unaware, allow me to enlighten you: i'm a pretty big thing on esreality. i've flattened shadyak, deconstructed zoot, destroyed carmac, obliterated jamerio, and gently massaged reluctant concession from demiurge the potential that his positional integrity may be less than desirable. i have met tyryl in person and argued him into his current lifestyle of drug abuse. you may feel confident and well-adjusted now, eburbeck, but soon you will be dumping cough syrup into a 2 liter bottle of sprite to suck down into the quaking ruins of your ulcer-lined stomach in a feeble attempt at a disappointingly brief vacation from the reality of your inescapable inadequacy.
was just a little jab at brandy because i was playing him recently (a week ago) and just made me remember his post about "broke 1600 today"...i think he was talking trash in the game if i remember correctly. anyway, the short answer is that there was basically no point other than to stir things up in ESR.
