So about a week back I got a 9800GTX+ from newegg. And after waiting a couple days, my friend came and helped me put it in (first upgrade, needed help). So when all was said and done I tried it out on a few games. There were definitely some improvements, as some games I thought were unplayable now looked incredible. Here's the games I tried out.
Team Fortress 2 - Not choppy anymore, looks swell
Half Life Two: Episode Two - Looks awesome
Unreal Tournament 3 - Is actually playable, and looks great too.
I would have tried Crysis, as it came free with the card, but we ran into a perdiciment when putting the card in. The PSU isn't powering the card enough. I have a 400watt PSU, it requires atleast 450watt. So for the health of my system, I'm going to refrian from playing Crysis untill I can get a better PSU. By the way, do they carry 600watt modular PSUs at Office Depot? I thought not... Back to Newegg, I guess.

Well that's just my luck
Luck is an interesting thing, isn't it? Even though it doesn't actually exist, you can get screwed over by it. I've had my fair share of bad luck, some including games, buying shit and other stuff. It's about 11:00 pm here, so I might go to bed/the gym and finish this later. Anyways, here are a few examples of my bad luck.
Mp3 fuckery.
So today I bought a new Mp3 player. It turns out that my old 250mb mp3 player was a piece of shit covered in bad so I thought it would be good for an upgrade. I strolled into radio shack and waited for some old guy to buy whatever he was buying so I could take a look at the mp3 players in the front glass thingy in front of the register.
I saw a zune, knew that I didn't have enough money for it, so I asked the dude what a good mp3 player was that had around 1gb and was about $50. He pointed me to a really really tiny 2gb mp3 player that I could actually choke on if I wasn't careful. I bought it, go online to troubleshoot (didn't know how to charge it, it didn't come with an AC adapter) and found that woot.com was selling it for 19.95. While I just spent enough money to buy a new game, I could have gotten it for so much cheaper. Major facepalms happened.
Three Extra Zeros
So, if you didn't know, I play EVE online. The incredibly boring spaceship simulator MMO. Today I went with my friend and some other guys, and went looting when they did missions. Actually, it was one guy missioning, another assisting in killing, another salvaging and me looting. After a short wait at a warp gate, they told me it was safe to warp in. I did, and when I got there I immediatly saw a npc rat(rat = short for pirate. as in, space pirate) right infront of me. Thinking that it wouldn't attack me, I typed "lol rat" and immediatly got targeted and attacked.
While trying to warp the fuck out of there in my slow hauler, I got killed and lots of parts destroyed. I warped back to home station, looked at the market to buy a new hauler and saw that the only one was 400,000,000isk. Four. Hundred. Mil. For a BESTOWER. I told my corpies and they laughed and said that it's bullshit, so I bought a sigil instead and kept looting. Later, when I was done and counting all of my shiny minerals I just reproccesed, I took a look at the market and saw that Bestowers have gone down to 500k. I was furious, told my corp, a guy made fun of me, I got pissed and I logged off. Now I am here telling you people, from wherever you came from.

The Definition of Atheism
Hi. Not many updates for a while because I've given up (mostly) on debating theists. Whenever I do, it usually ends up 3 ways.
1. The Theist ignoring any and all evidence I have put forth and continuing to be ignorant
2. The Theist whining how all atheists are trying to convert you, even though they started the debate.
3. The Theist being a stuck-up punk that results to name calling rather than continuing with the debate.
Of course, my side has it's faults too, and I openly admit that there are bad atheists. The bad atheists are the ones on youtube, that think it's cool to mock someone because of their religion. Sure, I've mocked people before, but that's because they are incredibly stupid, not because they follow a religion that is equally stupid. In all, I usually mock the religion, not the followers. People just need to realize that there are bad people on each, on every side. It's just the way we humans are. Some a good, some are bad.
Anyways, onto what this post is about. I find it amazing how ignorant some people can be. They can't even open a dictionary and look up atheism! According to most fundies, the definition of atheism is "A cult of devil worshippers that hate everybody who is religious and has no morals", when in actuality it is this - "A person whom does not believe in any higher power or deityies." (well, that's my definition of it. Dictionary.com says
"–noun
An atheist is someone who doesn't believe in a deity. Simple. Atheism, in it's vahnella state, has nothing to do with Evolution, Abiogenesis, The Big Bang or any scientific theory. Just because a person is an atheist doesn't mean that they believe in Evolution. The fact that so many atheists do indeed "beleive" in evolution, abiogenesis, the big bang means that they are logical people. They look at the evidence, and see if it fits with our discoveries. They don't just believe something because it's tradition, or because an old book told them to.
I hate the term "Evolutionist" but allow me to explain the definition of that, too. An Evolutionist is a person whom believes/supports/accepts the theory of Evolution. Now, unlike Atheism, there can be theistic evolutionists. These are people whom believe god kick-started the process of evolution (of course, they have no evidence to back that up). Theistic Evolutionists are Theists and Evolutionists, but not Atheists. Simple.
How is it so hard to understand?
Atheist = Doesn't believe in a god
Theist = Believes in god
Evolutionist = Supports/accepts/believes in the theory of Evolution whether or not he/she is an atheist.
How the hell did fundies even get "Devil Worshippers" from "A person who doens't believe in a god", anyways? I guess we'll never know.

Holy fucking shit
I just now realized that my blog ticker has gone from 21 (since I last checked it) to 43. I'm guessing it's all of the people from RichardDawkins.net, where I made a topic linking this blog. I never thought that so many people would actually check out this blog, after all of the warnings I posted about how it has vulgar, heatheness filth. :)
You can't disprove god!
Creationists love this argument, and when I say love, I mean they practically fucking masturbate to it. Whenever their idiotic arguments have been refuted, they always go "Well, you can't disprove God!". So fucking what? I can't disprove god therefore he exists? I guess I could say "Well, you can't disprove my claim that god doesn't exist." it is a mindfuck which will probably cause the creationist to change the subject or say something idiotic. But, let's look closely at this argument that you can't disprove god. Onward, to intelligence!
Ok, so anyone that runs into this argument in a debate should immediately say "That's not how it works, you made the assertion that God exists, you provide the evidence. If you fail to provide evidence your hypothesis is untrue." You see, the religious person is the one making the (irrational) claim that God exists, so therefore said person must provide evidence. Saying "You can't disprove it!" is idiotic as you cannot disprove the Flying Spaghetti Monster or the Teapot orbiting in between Mars's and Jupiter's orbits. You can't disprove the FSM because he's invisible, and you can't disprove the teapot because our telescopes aren't powerful enough to see it.
I don't even want to continue in this rant because of how stupid the damn argument is! I mean, it can be refuted so easily, it is so idiotic, though the faith-heads just adore it. Let's rant about something else!
Why is it that Christians always seem to need to capitalize certain words when debating online? They capitalize words like LORD and SON and GOD and other shit, but why the fuck do they do it? Do they feel that we can't read the words or something? Do they feel the need to shout the fucking words at us? Are those words more important than the other words? What the fuck's up with that?

Fundies say the darndest things!
I've always wanted to do this, so now I will! I will refute some of the stupidest arguments on FSTDT with my intelligence. This will be so fun that I just can't wait. Let's get started!
Actually, common sense tells us to come to our own conclusions after finding the evidence, not following your sky god like blind sheep. Also, your "scientific evidence" for god is just logical fallacies wrapped in ignorance.
1. I think I'm here, but wait, what does that have to do with god?
2. How does the complexity of the world have any relevance to god?
3. That's about as stupid as thinking that Star Wars was a true story because it mentions space. It doesn't matter if it mentions things that actually exist (like space), it is still a fictional story.
4. Why is it a reliable tool again? And just because there are a lot of people who are christians, it doesn't mean god is real. It means people are stupid.
Wait, is this guy serious?
I thought God did the judging?
I might do more of these later. They're fun.
The burden of proof lies on atheists because common sense says there's a God.
Here is some scientific evidence for God:
1) You're here, aren't you?
2) The world is complex
3) The Bible has been proven to be true because it mentions cities that actually existed. If the Bible was false, EVERY SINGLE city and person mentioned would be completely made up
4) Faith is a reliable tool to determine truth. This is why 33 percent of the world is Christian

Marriage is an artificial bondage between 2 humans, created by humans for some stupid reason that I could care less about. Homosexuality is a complex behavior found in some humans, not a plague. The fact that you aren't hesitant to say the most homophobic things makes me wonder about your morals. Did your loving god tell you to be a homophobic twat?
None of these points even remotely address the underlying issue, the actual reason why gays cannot marry. Marriage is something reserved for humanity, homosexuals are a devolved, viral like entity. We simply cannot legislate what this plague does, its the equivalent of congress trying to legalize marriages between influenza viruses.
Remember, oh ye of little intelligence, that we can't deal with the plague in the same way we deal with humanity.
Homosexuals deserve to be executed or tortured and possibly both, an Iranian leader told British MPs during a private meeting at a peace conference, The Times has learnt.Oh look, more homophobia. I'm not even going to waste my time with this batshit insane homophobic. Just bomb 'em.
Mohsen Yahyavi is the highest-ranked politician to admit that Iran believes in the death penalty for homosexuality after a spate of reports that gay youths were being hanged.
President Ahmadinejad, questioned by students in New York two months ago about the executions, dodged the issue by suggesting that there were no gays in his country.
Britain regularly challenges Iran about its gay hangings, stonings and executions of adulterers and perceived moral criminals, Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) papers show.
The latest row involves a woman hanged this June in the town of Gorgan after becoming pregnant by her brother. He was absolved after expressing his remorse. Britain said that this demonstrated the unequal treatment of men and women in law and breached Iran’s pledge to restrict the death penalty to the most serious crimes.
There is a huge difference between angels and fairies. There are sane people who believe in angels, and I'm not so sure a sane person would believe in fairies. Angels are messengers from God, and some of them have wings and some of them don't. They are strong, powerful, spirit beings. Fairies are just magical and someone's imagination.BAHAHYHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAA!!!! HAHAHAH!! Hahaha.. HAHAHAh. ha.
Wait, is this guy serious?
If evolution were real, that would mean God was a liar.Or, it would mean that god doesn't exist.
So, if God were a liar, there would be NOTHING. No earth, no stars, no us, no nothing.
The demon behind homosexuality is one of the most evil horrible demons every created. I can't wait to judge him and send him to the pit!!
I thought God did the judging?
I might do more of these later. They're fun.

Incompetence, hypocrites and censorship
If you know me, I watch Thunderf00ts videos on youtube, and recently there has been a "debate" between him and the deluded faith-head VenomFangX. Now, I'm not one to get angry simply because people have different views of the universe, but I can say that the comments that Venom and his brigade of believers have said against evolution, atheists and science altogether make me angry as a motherfucker. And the fact that he censors all negative comments on his videos and disables ratings makes me even more angry, since no one can even attempt to inform and correct him on the idiocy that he says.
He parades around with is arrogance and ignorance of everything to do with science and spits in it's face. He says things that are so idiotic, it's surprising, even for a creationists (hell, even for a young-earth creationist!). He says things like "If you are an atheist, you believe that you came from nothing" when it is so different. Simply put, we come from stars. Some stars are fortunate enough to let out heavy elements when they die, and these heavy elements eventually start forming planets, and then atmospheres, etc. Then we get to the privative mud puddle that is organic compounds (I know it's not a mud puddle, it's a figure of speech). But, they ask, where did the organic compounds come from. Did a god just make them appear out of nowhere? Nope, it's actually quite simple. The energy from things like earthquakes, meteor impacts and lightning allowed simple molecules like ammonia to form into more complex organic molecules like nucleotide bases and amino acids. Then everything got more complex over time, badda bing badda boom, evolution has started.
Their are other idiotic statements from Mr. Venom, too. For example, "Nothing exploded in the big bang and formed everything" is so stupid a statement that it's hard to explain, since I'm too busy laughing at his ignorance. I'll try to explain, though. This is quite simple too, though with venom's utter lack of knowledge of anything he is against, he doesn't see it. We don't know what caused the big bang. We just don't. It's out of reach of science for now, and probably will stay for a while. Saying that we came from nothing, or saying that nothing exploded shows your incompetence. We just don't know, possibly it was a god that caused the big bang. Maybe it was a natural cause that we just haven't found out yet. Where did the energy come from? Where did the matter come from? Well, seeing how energy and matter are basically the same thing, it's more of a question of, did the energy come first or did the matter? The answers to all of this is unknown and will stay unknown for a while, as I stated before.
Venom has made a video which he keeps changing the title of firstly called "The most important video ever made" in which he rants and raves about how evolution contradicts his biblical beliefs and doesn't really make any point other than he is still an idiot. He asks how to falsify evolution, and while others have made similar answers, mine will be "If you find me a mammoth in our time period, evolution is falsified." Of course, I haven't really researched into mammoths recently, so I don't know if some still exist or not. I'm pretty sure they went extinct last ice age, though. Mammoths existed in the Cenozoic period, and we exist in the Anthropocene period, so it will be extremely unlikely to find any alive mammoths. That is, if evolution is true and the fossil record is accurate. Which they are.
I'm sure Venom is going to just ignore everything that smart people have corrected for him, such as DonExodus and Thunderf00t. He's probably going to make a new video soon, with more of Cunt Hovind's stupid arguments, totally disregarding everything he has learned from the smart atheists on youtube (though, DonExodus labels himself as a creationist, he sure as hell is against every bit of it.).
The fact that idiots like Venom can go around butchering science, disallow any correction, ignore every scientific discovery ever, and show complete incompetence of anyone who even tries to correct him is insane. This guy is batshit insane. He even has followers of him, and they're equally batshit insane.
I probably didn't make a good point in this post, but I wanna correct anything! All of your comments are also blocked. And I'm converting to VenomFangXism. And I'm going insane in the membrane. And I'm also being sarcastic.
