QOTD 29: Haters gonna...

So, I was piddling through my Youtube Channel yesterday, and noticed that my most popular video (in terms of discussion, not views) is one where I rail against the CGI-ification of the classic kids show "Shining Time Station".


I...intended this as a joke. A qausi-serious diatribe on how things change, we hate them, and we become just like our parents. It...did not turn out that way. Through 43 comments on the video I found, well, people really fucking care about that show, and really fucking hate the people that took it over. But the comment I came across yesterday, sparked my interest.

A user named "TrainNation" said the following: "i just told off that little prick that did a commentary on this video. you are completely right, CGI Thomas the tank engine has been ruined by CGI. iv'e written multiple letters to HIT entertainment (A.K.A the root of all evil.) you are my idol. Thank you man."

The unsurprising fact that I am officially someone's Idol not withstanding, I found this video by someone who may or may not be a baby Sheamus:

Commentary: CGI Ruined Thomas The Tank Engine...MOVIES SUCK NOW!

So, Blog Otters, Who hates you? And why?


Regarding the video directed toward my 'commentary' on Thomas The Tank Engine, well, I thought it was hilarious. I crave attention like the rest of you seem to crave sports betting, drugs, and alcohol, so in all honesty I thought it was kind of neat in a 'hey, I affected someone enough to make them respond back in video' sort of way.

The other 'haters' we seem to all have in common are the folks over at the NPP forums, who I actually get a kick out of. If they get their jollies commenting on folks, who comment on other people's opinions of wrestling, have at it, I say. And in fact I have made the choice to keep calling you kind folks Blog Otters in honor of unity.

It seems both you, and the NPP folks, really do hate Blog Otters. And call me crazy, call me optimistic, call me a modern day Gandhi, Martin Luther King, and Jesus rolled into one well-hung package, but I take pride in knowing my brilliant name for a wrestling community has fostered a solidarity that was not there before. I am a God among men.


 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Blog Otter Award: No One! Not a single one of you picked up my reference to the cult-classic "Starship Troopers" in yesterday's QOTD title. I thought you guys were cool. Well as cool as a bunch of wrestling fans who let me prattle on about whatever I want on a daily basis, could be. <3


1. Serious question: Can you folks tell I'm being half-serious in my above video? I've had a long running quandary in my life where I think my sarcasm is so dry it comes off sincere.If this quandary turns out to be true, my whole life, up till this point, is a sham.

2. One thing you may not notice in that video, that I intended, and your 'sub-conscious' probably picked up on is the blue-gray color scheme. The poster in the background is blue, so I wore a blue collar. Anytime you video something, try to have one or two colors pop up more than once. It's really the difference between something looking shitty amateur, and some-what shitty amateur.

3. I think it's especially wild that I made my video in one take and talked off the top of my head, and that guy went back and meticulously responded to my points.

4. One more highlight from the 'Thomas The Tank Wars'

'YOU PRICK. Thomas the tank engine has been something iv'e loved since i was born. and when something as lovable as Thomas gets tuned, more people than you think will get pissed off. i admit, i had my doubts about Thomas as i got older, but my love for him all my life has kept me from leaving my childhood. Do you have any idea how many people that were actually mortified at the CGI change. and by the way. who the hell are you to make this video, GET A DAMN LIFE!!! you think Grown men watching'  Thomas is sad!?! your like a five year old boy who has nothing better to do but sit on the computer and rant about peoples personal opinions. heres an idea, keep yours to yourself because guess what!?! NOBODY GIVE A FLYING FUCK!! you are the saddest little troll iv'e ever seen in my life. damn, your just like the new CGI in Thomas YOU MAKE ME FUCKING SICK!!'

  1. Ha. I saw that title and thought "Neat, I JUST re-watched that movie", but didn't comment. Now i'm out an imaginary award and I don't think I can make it through life.

    THANKS MAN.

  7. LOVE me some Thomas the Tank Engine. Although I quit watching it when they brought in those midget trains from the other side of the island or whatever.



    I tend to get drunk and rant about how Henry the train is a bitch since he threw that shitfit about the rain and refused to come out of that tunnel.

  8. There have been more than a few that have disliked me. The only one that has really hated me was this guy that had a thing for my girlfriend. Of course, he couldn't have her and so he pretty much did everything he could to try chop me off at the knees. Really stupid petty bullshit. This was years ago and I'm glad it's over.

  9. It's incredible.


    Just remember that it's a parody. If you take it straight...fun will not be had.

  10. Lots of people dislike me. I'm actually a pretty abrasive person (big surprise there I know) an asshole if you will. So it doesn't surprise me and I don't really blame them.


    I don't think anybody hates me. I'm not organized in my jerk-ness, but some peopele really take sleights to heart. Perhaps the day I was rude to them was the most important day in their lives, but for me it was a Tuesday.

  14. This is the only thing I know about Starship troopers.


    And as a fan of Super C, one of my favorite youtube vidz of all time.


    Just impressive.

  15. It's also a movie best enjoyed as part of group, and while I don't imbibe, you should probably get nice and intoxicated. It's got titties, and Neil Patrick Harris as a psychic pseudo-SS agent.


    It's not Ingmar Bergman...but hey, not every film has to be.

  17. Listen pal, acidophilus is fantastic for you and thus, my haters should feel lucky about drinking my essence.

  18. I didn't see Starship Troopers, I thought it was a reference to the soldier who (apparently) was the basis for the line in Starship Troopers.
    A chick at my current job absolutely DESPISED me, and for no real reason at all, from the day that we met until about a year ago when things finally started to thaw out a little bit (a LITTLE bit, and that's after 7 years of open, abject hatred.) She has lost her shit on me on multiple occasions, and again, for basically no reason at all, she just doesn't like the cut of my jib. And it's tricky because to literally EVERYONE ELSE in the world she's an absolute delight, and everyone ADORES her.
    Now she's been on an almost 6 month sick leave, for mental health, and although I don't know a lot of details, I'm fairly certain that she's tried to kill herself, or something like that because people who are more in the know are all very convinced that she is very ill indeed.
    I certainly hope that she doesn't harm herself, but beyond that I am happy as a pig in shit that she is gone, and I hope that I never see her again.

  19. The guys from RiffTrax did a really great job on that film about a month or so ago. It was a live show in the movie theater, like WWE does. Pretty damn fun.

  26. Well before Mrs. Parallax1978 made an honest man out of me the majority of women I bedded were already married. I got found out a few times, so there are several husbands that hate me.

    I haven't spoken to Mrs. Parallax1978 the 1st in over a decade but last time I did her and her current man (by proxy) both hated me so there is that.

    Also I am pretty sure that flair4dagold hates me.


    I'm bothered that I have the biggest list thus far. :(

    ReplyDelete
  27. I would figure John Zandig (thats his name right?) from CZW hates you because you showcase his "workers" damn near every video.

    ReplyDelete
  28. And it's ONLY because of Maffew that CZW is considered a joke, so his hatred is well justified.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Lots of people hate me, dunno why. I think I'm a pretty cool guy.


    Starship Troopers is great but holds a specific bad memory for me of getting served with papers while I was watching it many years ago, so I tend to avoid it now. Don't think I've watched it since, in fact.

  45. Of course I am. I'll rail on CZW all night and day, even if secretly I enjoy it.

    Hell, I once spent like, 3,500 words pissing on them. He should have been ecstatic about the free promotion you gave that company.

  46. This one male nurse I work with hates me because I always call him "Focker."

    A few people at my gym hate me because its really fucking annoyning when they do circuit training and have shit on a squat cage, bench, and pullup cage all at the same time. They hate when I just go take one of their stations and then tell them "gym rules buddy, cant have three cages claimed." Sharing is caring motherfuckers!

    There are a few others but theyre a little more personal so ill digress...

    I grew up in North Jersey. My father and Grandfather were Yankee fans. I went to my first game when I was 8 in 1987, went through the bad times in the early 90's, and my favorite Yankee is Mattingly, the only one to never win a title.

    So yeah, I am no bandwagon jumper and in fact I openly loath the 96ers and partially blame them for the fact that the original Yankee Stadium, a place I loved more then anything, was torn down.

    ReplyDelete
  53. I don't hate anybody. I feel sorry for some people. I laugh at some people. I avoid some people. But outright hatred? I don't think so.
    I am sure that I'm hated by some people. Some people can be very fragile and it rocks them to have their illusions shattered. Which can manifest itself as hate towards the the rocker. I'm sure that Jesse Baker hates me, but that's probably a very long list that he has hanging on a clipboard above a couch in his basement. Lipstick.

  79. So how does trolling a blog about pro wrestling (for many years) shatter anyone's illusions? Like I can't imagine the life you lead if your enjoyment comes from nitpicking comments on a blog. Are you even a fan of pro wrestling at all? Do you ever post anything that's not a troll?

    ReplyDelete
  80. One of dougies accounts at npp called cocksuckerblues hates me. I know because he said "I hate THAT guy." If he put on the emphasis on any other word I would have been confused. But the THAT cleared it up. Otherwise I think in real life and on line no one hates me. I'm a nice guy.

    ReplyDelete
  81. I haven't seen him in a while, and he's rarely absent.
    Do you know anything about that? I hear that you two have beef.

    ReplyDelete
  82. I did see your post where you called that a humblebrag. I don't know where you live but in California theres 1000's of dispensaries so being a member of six isn't particularly impressive. I know your just trolling me but I'd hate for you to worry you were shattering my illusions. I know its not as impressive to you as creating six different user accounts to talk to but its all I got.

  92. Heres an amateur psychological breakdown of dougie, buckdiddy, amd npp.

    Trolling and the creation of npp was created to give them a "sense of accomplishment and sense of belonging" in their lives. Most people get this through career, family, friends, religion, etc.

    Since they are kinda losers and dont do any of that, they get their "sense of accomplishment" through trolling gramma errors, creating alternate blogs, etc. Like when kids create cliques to talk about other kids, except they bever grew out of it like most people. Its really quite quite sad that thats

  93. I had to try and explain it to a third party the other day..

  94. There is really something strange that has happened with the internet where you get stuff like the YouTube comments, the old ESPN comments, npp etc where its just all this weird, angry, rail against the world people. Like in real life is dougie really some shut in potential school shooter or is he a normal guy but maybe he has some issues he handles passive aggressively by trolling online?

  110. You realize telling me I don't watch raw and criticizing me for talking about hhh when I'm not isn't giving an opinion right? You get that this is trolling?

    BoD timeline: October 9, 1989. THE Al Gore took up permanent residence in his study, drawing up schematics for an idea he had that he wanted to implement. He called this idea "In To Her Net". Basically, it was a way for dudes to remain anonymous but at the same time ogle naked chicks on a whim. He was taking a break, and was sitting in a coffee shop one day, when he overheard two twenty-somethings sitting nearby. They were talking shit about this one guy that was in their film class. They couldn't believe that this guy wrote a paper on the film Casablanca, extolling the virtues of it's timelessness. These guys thought that the movie was shit because "it was old". They continued to call him names. Mr. Gore thought that it would be a good idea to come up with a way for people to remain anonymous, ogle naked chicks AND completely shit on people and their opinions. Finally, he streamlined the name "In To Her Net" and called it "Internet", also because he was a raging alcoholic and slurred a lot.
    Basically, Al Gore is to blame, and there are people here who use the Internet for it's original intended use.

    ReplyDelete
  113. Yeah, you never talk about HHH. Never ever. I stand corrected. You don't even know who that is.
    If I post something about Punk's promos becoming white noise a year ago, I'm trolling. If I post something about enjoying Santino, I'm trolling. If I post that Miz got a good reaction, I'm trolling. Its beyond hilarious to me at this point. But, that's what happens when you spend your life in a hive.

  120. Sure. Grammar trolling is the lowest and laziest. Do you now feel smarter for pointing out I didnt use apostrophes?

  126. I'm pretty sure my father-in-law hates me, but that's mostly because I think he's a massive cunt who should stay away from my children. So yeah, I started that one. Otherwise, I think the only person who really hates me is me.

  127. I've made countless enemies in the online world of wrestling gaming. Why? Because I call them out on being cheap bastards, so desperate to win an online game that they'll exhaust every possible avenue for cheating, including using Codebreaker and GameShark, and if they all fail, they resort to pulling the Ethernet cable out of their console to interrupt the signal and render the match a draw. I helped manage the PTA (Players to Avoid) list, and when their name appeared on there they snapped and began a verbal tirade worthy of the daytime talk show circuit. I'm sorry, but fair players didn't want to face your hacked, 100ovr created wrestler with blue tattoos, bubble shoulders and fingerless gloves that runs around performing standing finishers as regular running grapples and tries to freeze the referee unsuccessfully sixteen times before giving up. There was definitely a market for that list, so I have no regrets about it.


    The Players to Avoid list still lives on today, in name even, created by other people, desperate for a clean, fair match on the game they paid $60 for. My God, am I proud of that.


    One in particular, the leader of a "special" clan of players, quite cleverly and known as "HM" for Horsemen, built his reputation as an expert defensive player and rocketed to the spot of leader because of it. Well, turns out he simply hacked his technique stat in the original Smackdown vs. RAW game to be much higher than 10, which is all the game normally allowed. See, in that game, there was a mini-game known as the Chop Battle. You had to stop the moving dot in the yellow area of the meter in order to successfully execute a chop to the chest. Your technique rating determined how large the yellow part of the meter was. Care to guess how ridiculously large the yellow section of his meter was? He was called out. He denied it. Someone recorded him. He denied it. His own clanmates accused him. He denied it. Since we were the two major clans at that point, I was all over the situation. Due to the inputting of my nose in his business, he began to loathe me.



    He attempted to pose as me on the game and hack people. He attempted to send me a virus via e-mail. He attempted to gain my Yahoo instant messenger password via a pitifully generic HTML-based sign-in page. It was amazing to see the lengths someone would go to in order to save face in a virtual world. I mean, the fucking loser went by the handle "Triple H" so it wasn't like his online reputation was going to be shattered, you know? Just... become "Ric Flair" or something. Christ.


    Fuck... tl;dr, eh?

  131. There was also a time where I called him out on some serious BS and erroneous facts. The dude edited and revised half his original post just so he could retroactively win the argument. When I called him out on that, he denied, denied, denied. I think that was the last time I responded to Dougie's mentally bankrupt posts.

    I'm sorry, maybe it's just me and I'm a little older and I'm not into video games...but *a lot* (ie, not all) hardcore gamers come off as self-absorbed asshats whose only contributions to society go toward the energy drink and pizza markets.
    Do they need fresh oxygen pumped into their sleep deprivation chambers?

  133. Dougie has posted probably close to 3000 comments on a board where no one respects him, posts dozens of more comments on a board about the board, constantly signs out and upvotes his comments as "guest," likes to create and collect BoD emoticons, never answers a question directly, edits his comments whenever you catch him incorrectly trolling (sometimes he gets specific with his accusations and gets caught when he's wrong), and... I can't even finish this point. He's just sad.
