Why Do You Love Violence While Being Pacifists?

Over the years people have grown more and more attached to violence in media. It has become a day to day fact for life for us. Who gets killed next in Game of Thrones? Don’t tell me I can’t wait to see for myself. Who got bit this week on The Walking Dead? I hope it’s not Rick but man would that be some crazy character development for Carl. Yeah, a son watching his father die to only come back as a monster and then die again is character development now. It’s exciting, it’s entertaining, its violence. Now Im not here to say let’s end it if that’s what you think I’m doing. If you know me even a little you know very well I’m not on the side of the angels. 🙂

The question is why? Why does our society get off on violence? In music, in tv and movies and the good old classic media target, video games. Well, it’s simple. Everyone deep down is a psychopath. Maybe not to the same degree as others but you all have a little bit of the devil in you. The thing that scares you is you like it. You won’t admit it but we both know you like it just a little. Violence being a part of our culture isn’t a new thing actually. It has always been here we just evolved it as we changed our overall views on life. As we slowly became more and more passive and told ourselves things like violence and being mad isn’t a good thing.

Back in the day, we would watch gladiators murder the living shit out of each other to keep the peace, now we watch Spartacus do the same and get off on random boobs that pop up on the show. At least that’s why I watch it. The thing is you can’t admit anymore you are into violence. I’ve even been looked at all side-eyed glare for saying I’m a Mike Tyson fan. I don’t care if Tyson killed a box of puppies on front street, the guy is a living legend. A true monster among men. These same people that don’t like Tyson or boxing or MMA then go home and jerk off to Game of Thrones and Call of Duty and I got to sit there like an ass hole explaining why Mr. Tyson is the greatest.

The pussification of our society is in direct correlation to the amount of violence we encounter in media. You have a problem with someone in school? Don’t kick the kid in the teeth and teach him a lesson he will never forget, no don’t do that. Instead, go tell a teacher who will make both of you apologize for some fucking reason. Someones being a real prick to you? Well don’t do anything, just keep your head down and get on your knees and suck it up. No, I’m fine right here thanks. The passivity of today’s society, the lack of anger is in direct correlation to the amount of violence in everything else. People are too pussy to have a voice or stand up for themselves or each other so they watch super hero’s do it on the big screen while secretly rooting for the bad guy. I’ll be honest, The Joker and Two-Face made a lot more sense to me than Batman did. My respect to the caped crusader but I rather am a dog chasing cars.

All I’m saying is stop being a little fuck about everything. Pacifist will say this is male posturing or an overdeveloped ego. To that, all I got to say is “blow me”. You’re wrong. The fire in your veins and the Devil in your heart isn’t something you have to hide from the world. You should be proud of it, indulge it, feed it. Not with The Walking Dead and Game of Thrones, but by getting off your ass and defending yourself, by not just sitting there with your phone out recording something horrible happen. If you are going to secretly be a bad person then try and do a good thing for yourself or a few others once in your life. Make love not war sure, but if war is looking you in the eye don’t blink, cause you will wake up later feeling like a piece of shit.

DnDDarkEdv1

Playable classes:

  • Barbarian
  • Bard
  • Cleric
  • Druid
  • Fighter
  • Monk
  • Paladin
  • Ranger
  • Rogue
  • Sorcerer
  • Wizard
  • Other classes may be added after further testing.

Playable Races:

  • Dwarf
  • Elf
  • Gnome
  • Half-elf
  • Halfling
  • Half-Orc
  • Human
  • Other races may be added after further testing.
  • When creating your character you are provided with the stat alignment of 15-14-13-12-10-8 and +2 to any stat of your choice. You are aloud to put any of these numbers into any stat you wish. The +2 can also be split into two +1s and added as desired. The alternative way of rolling for stats is rolling 4 1d6 6 times and removing the lowest die roll each time. If you go with this method you do NOT get the +2 to any stat of your choice.
  • For this system you only use main stats. No touch, no flat foot, no grapple, no fortitude save, no reflex save and no will save or any of that.
  • Main stats increase based on level like the previous system you are building from. Feats and Special Abilities also increase off leveling.
  • You still roll for initiative and can incorporate the modifier if you want or just go based on only the die roll.
  • Skills are calculated the same as the previous system but if you have less than 3 skills you are awarded extra points to increase them to a minimum of 3 boosted skills.
  • GMs rolls are always hidden unless it is needed to be seen for whatever reason.
  • In combat the attacking player rolls  1d20 vs the GMs roll of 1d20. If the player say gets a 15 and the GM gets a 10 the players hit goes through. The GM should be aware of the players Dex Mod and add that into every “hit” roll by the player or to the player. Likewise the player can also add their Dex Mod before hand to hit rolls to make things easier.
  • If the player does make a hit they then roll their dmg skill as they would for the normal system but with the addition of their main stat. For example if you are a rogue and you are doing 5 dmg and your main stat is dex with a mod of +3 you are doing 8 dmg.
  • To make things more challenging or easier for player. The GM can decide on what die to roll when and how many to roll. For instance, if the GM wants to increase the chances of one of his NPCs getting a clean “hit” roll. He can add another die of his choice to the initial 1d20 roll for hit. Example: player rolls 1d20 getting a 13+Dex Mod while the GM rolls 1d20+1d6 getting a 13 on the 1d20 and a 2 on the 1d6 for a total of 15.
  • In the same way as above the GM can also weaken NPCs. For instance if they are hurt or have fallen over, missing a limb…The extra die rolls of choice would be used as – and not +.

The Real WoW Killer – MMORPG Industry Historical

~ Darkster ~ Leave a comment

I admit to having my ups and downs with WoW but I always go back to it. No other MMO has the same effect on me as WoW. I always end up leaving because I would get burned out or I would like to try a different game but I always end up going back at some point. WoW is home. That’s what WoW has going for it. You may get tired of it you may get burned out but you always find yourself going back home.

WoW has this aspect of being the game you think of when you hear MMO. It has established itself so solidly into the industry that the only thing that can kill WoW is WoW…Well, Blizzard but yea you get my point.

Warlords of Draenor (Alpha): Death Knight Level 100 Talents – First Look & Impressions

~ Darkster ~ Leave a comment

Bajheera again now going over the Level 100 Death Knight talents. Personally other then Necrotic Plague I think the other 2 talents fall short. They just seem a little boring and very situational. Again this is alpha after all so everything is prone to change. That being said if I had to say between Warrior and DK which one do I like more right now. I would say Warrior.
