People are arrogant bitches...

[Art_Crime]

You know what really makes me mad? People extolling the greatness of their "souped-up" rig that will "put HL2 in the dog house" in their forum signature. I use quotation marks because those are, yes, real quotes. I didn't think it could get much worse until people started bragging about athlon 2200's with a 9600 XP. NEWSFLASH: THEY SUCK. What makes you think I want to know about the rig that you mowed a good hundred lawns to buy? Unfortunately, I can't find solace anywhere else, because this has become an international internet phenomon. The only thing that changes it the witty comments that go with it and the games that are going to be put "in the dog-house". Not to mention the "highlight" to read ones, as if they're something special.

Now, if you went on about how your artwork rocked or something, I'd be okay.

Just remember, the only thing that separates you from the masses is a couple thousand dollars, so shut the hell up already!

NEWSFLASH: THEY SUCK.

You seem to care enough about their choice to point out your opinion.

But yeah, i agree with you, however it's not really that annoying.

 

[oldagerocker]

woah man, take a chill pill... your learn to ignore sigs entirely eventually. i have.

 

[ShadowFox]

Seems like you are the one with the problem, not them.

 

[gh0st]

you can turn sigs off in your options. sounds like you oughta get right on that.

 

[KagePrototype]

Some people are proud of their rigs since they worked hard for them. So what if they want to show them off a bit?

 

[ailevation]

:dozey: Why do we have to be the ones to be on the receiving end of your "bitching"?

Uncheck the 'Show Signatures' option.

 

[Matthias]

Wow that's so much better. Unfortunately there were a few sigs I liked...

I request a "show only funny signatures" option

 

[SLH]

I request a "show only funny signatures" option

I request an 'exclude these people's sigs (unless they change)' option (with a user-defined list obviously).

 

[DiSTuRbEd]

My pc is better than yours.

 

[Foxtrot]

Why not be proud of your PC? You worked for it(or maybe you didn't) and probably built it.

 

[SLH]

Be proud by all means, but don't show off.

Still if people want to display their PC specs incase anyone cares, who am i to stop them.

Exactly, I see no point in showing off a pc tho, cause after all, its just a pc. Anyone can do the same thing. But I mean if people show off their pc and some people don't like it, well hell, they can deal with it, if not, ignore the damn user, as simple as that.

 

[Alig]

Wow and how does this effect you? Are you jealous or something because you sure sound like a jealous little kid who does'nt like someone else having better things in life. Grow up and stfu and turn sigs off if they bother you so much.

Aimed at thread-starter i assume (as opposed to me)?

 

[Alig]

Yeah it was, i should'a used quotes but it just clutters up things

Edit/ It was at the thread starter..

 

[Art_Crime]

Well, I was ignorant of the "turning off sigs" option, thanks for alerting me.

You may call it whining, but every time I read it it becomes more hilarious, because it rings so true.

I'm the biggest arrogant bitch of them all sometimes.

 

[poseyjmac]

what are your specs art? curious.

 

[Prince of China]

Does this guy sound like me when I make a bitching thread?

 

[Death.Trap]

What the hell man, if I wanna show of my SU(Souped Up) rig I'll sure as hell do it.


My UB3r PsEa

Pentium 4 2.26ghz
GeForce MX420 64MB
Onboard sound
er..thats it...stop laughing at me!

 

[Art_Crime]

Well, In fact have a 2.2 Ghz Intel, and a Geforce 3, and a gig of ram, which runs all my current games fine, including CSS, so I'm not worried, but nonetheless I'm sure people will say "oh he's just bitching cause he has a crappy computer..."

[DiSTuRbEd]

People always have been and always will be arrogant bitches. Live with it. x_x.

 

[craig]

Wow. Just when I thought the whining in these forums couldn't get any worse someone finds a new way to lower the tone. Who really gives a shit what's written in someone elses signature?

 

[Sprafa]

there's a difference between being proud and rubbing it on another people's faces just to "feel good". It's called being a good person, humble and comprehensive.

There are people that work 20 hours a day just to sruvive, and kids that don't work at all and just ask for a computer to their parents.

 

[Parrot of doom]

Well you plainly do, looking at your sig.

Your's is better than mine

AthlonXP 2000, Geforce3 ti 200, 512 DDR ram.

HL2's gonna look super cool on my PC!

 

[NeLi]

But does anyone really care about other peoples computers?

If they do...well... *shrugs*

 

[el Chi]

To be honest, it irritates me too a bit. It's like: You have a good computer. Good. Should I care? Do you want a pat on the back, what?
I just don't see why it matters enough to have it hanging neatly in every post you make.
It doesn't bother me that much, but I just think people look silly.

 

[Kyorisu]

People are arrogant bitches...

They sure are.

btw I'm happy with my 9600pro purchase so shush.

I could make the same point about your sig. You have a joke.. you think it is funny. Should I care?

 

[FoB_Ed]

Same here. I don't give a shit if you have a nice rig that your parents bought for you

I sure as hell don't care about what your specs are, and I don't want to know either. If I did give a shit then it wouldn't annoy me, so ha!

 

[Epyon]

I think i have a solution...dont read the sigs?

 

[FoB_Ed]

I usually don't, and I'm usually not bothered by them.

I just felt like jumping on the bandwagon

 

[Farrowlesparrow]

Yes....They are.

*Closed* (I never usaually say that, but I believe its rather fitting....)
