Spoilers

The one thing I hate about the Internet, and I mean the only thing that I truly hate, is that games are spoiled before they are even released.

I wanted to play The Last of Us just because of the name. The box art and the title said it all as to what it would be, I was looking forward to finding out the world without knowing anything about the game aside from the setting.

Now I know that this isn't a huge deal, but to me the first 15 minutes is what makes or breaks the game for me. If I can get immersed within the first hour, I will love the game. It's happened with praised games like Bioshock and Gears of War, to not-so-praised games like Sudeki.

Sudeki averages a score of 7/10, nothing spectacular neither terrible. Just so happens to be my favorite game ever. No joke, as of July 5th 2013, Sudeki tops my favorite list. I knew nothing about the game, got immersed into the world and I almost feel like playing it again just by speaking of it.

I'm going on this tangent because it really gets on my nerves, and kinda depresses me because YouTube channels, forums, etc. that aren't even news outlets, video game or otherwise, spoil little details that completely ruin the experience for me before the games are even released.

Before Mass Effect 3 was even announced, the 'huge spoiler' was released. I knew that spoiler for a couple years before I eventually played Mass Effect 3. Knowing dampened the experience for me, because it was already known.

It's almost like the Game of Thrones episode "Red Wedding;" I knew it was going to happen, from previous spoilers. However, the experience was still there because I didn't know when it was going to happen.

I have a huge stick up my ass for things like this, I get that it's a bit obnoxious for me to go all "woe is me" for such a trivial thing. But to me, this completely kills the experience, and I'm just pissed off that I can't even go to Youtube without having a piece of a game, that I have yet to play, spoiled.

But hey, I'm just a fat, white, 18-25, (North) American, cynical, skeptical, Atheist. I'm hated by pretty much everyone.

Gun Control.

So... gun control.

A Smith & Wesson M&P 15 is perfectly legal to use. You can go and pick one up, go through the necessary steps and boom you have an assault rifle. Is this necessary?  For protection, you don't need anything more than a handgun.  For hunting, nothing more then a generic rifle.

I couldn't give less of a shit towards either side, really, but the arguments for weapons always tend to be half assed.

"We lose our rights as citizens," bullshit, you keep those rights only with enhanced security so you can keep those rights instead of lose them completely. It's like bitching because you have to go to bed 1 hour earlier.

"Knives, cars, etc. do the same thing, they should be banned too."
Everything potentially fatal, sans guns, have alternative uses. Without vehicles, today wouldn't exist as it is. In fact, you'd be blaming oxen, or whatever. Most vehicular homicides are caused by accidents, someone hitting a patch of black ice, their brakes giving out, use your imagination. Shit happens.

Knives, you got me there. Aside from the fact that you can't exactly slaughter a crowd in under 10 seconds with a knife.

"Not all people are crazy, some people use them responsibly."
Love to see you singing that tune when your family gets killed by someone who can't handle the gun properly. However, if guns are so accessible, you don't need me to finish that sentence.

Assume everyone with the ability to operate both their hands and feet had the permission to drive freely. That's right, without a license. See all the shit heads that can't drive worth a damn already? Imagine that amount if anyone could drive.

Don't assume I'm wrong because I'm not on your side. Think about it. Your cousin, who you grew up with, got gunned down by some asshole who had a bad day. Turns out, he has anger issues. Severe. One time he beat some guy into a nice thin paste because he got "insulted" by a gentle ribbing.

Your fiance? Man, you lucked out. Without exaggerating, she's easily a 10. She's also a doctor, a genius even. 2 weeks till the big day. However, one night some guy kills her because he has issues with paranoia. Turns out, he has schizophrenia. But she didn't know that, and he didn't know that she was harmless. Oh well, gotta protect your rights!

Isolated cases aside, jesus fucking christ smarten up. Your guns aren't going anywhere, your man-in-a-cannons will just require you to be a certain degree of sane.

...that is if you guys didn't bitch and moan to your representatives.
