Hatred? There is no hatred here. Allow me to summarize all that has happened here:
1. Religion thread is created.
2. People butt heads over religion, as would be expected.
3. Butting heads over religion leads to butting heads over other things, especially in IRC.
4. In IRC, HiddenGamer goes on a tirade about many things, including fair use and religion.
5. JXQ reads the conversation, laughs at the progression of lines from HiddenGamer, quotes him.
6. HiddenGamer blows the situation out of proportion, threatens JXQ, and attempts to draw attention away from the quote, making it even more present.
7. Other people find humor in this reaction, follow the steps of JXQ. More humor ensues, more or less.
8. HiddenGamer eventually complains to Bisqwit.
9. Bisqwit says that he generally doesn't care, but removes my signature quote because it seemed "not constructive".
10. HiddenGamer assumes that Bisqwit only removed my signature and not JXQ's because mine has Bisqwit's name involved, vomits out another tirade.
11. HiddenGamer is kicked from IRC, and is then temp-banned from IRC for auto-rejoin.
12. Everyone laughs.
13. Fabian complains.

City of God had a very good reception in the US, last time I checked. I saw it for a Brazilian film class, but I know a lot of people who saw it just by word of mouth.

Z,
It's getting old.
We all have our own opinions. Yours just happens to be wrong.
To be fair, a lot of this grief wouldn't be old if your religion thread hadn't brought out the tensions in the first place. Therefore, if we must blame something, we must blame you.

I think we all want JXQ to take it out. Am I right?
Wrong. Why would we? Do you hate comedy, Fabian?
Also, jimsfriend's post is satire aimed at HiddenGamer's original post. It could have been handled in PM just as much as HiddenGamer's griping could have. I'm sorry that you couldn't see this on your own.

A Facebook tas group would be easy enough to create. Just make a a group called "Tasers" or "TasVideoPeople" and then have people join the group.
But then we have to learn each others' full names and interests. I already added Ramzi, but that's about as much effort as I can put in to that. I can't pretend to care about every college-attending member of this site!

The difference is this:
On YouTube, the majority of the people that will view our stuff will be looking for it or things like it. Anyone who is intigued enough to join will, and this is fine. It shows interest and determination. Also, YouTube will have a slight explanation for what they are seeing.
On MySpace, people will only view our movies through a TASVideos member, journal posts, or randomized messages that somehow involve us. Anyone that sees us through the first is fine, since it comes from the source and they generally won't be viewing the page without some interest in games. The only exclusion would be people stumbling upon the page through a friend of the site, which is essentially the equivalent of exposing TASVideos' heart to the 13 year old scene kids of Myspace. Finding TASVideos through a journal post is a crapshoot, because it not only allows for the public to come across the link (and we know that idiot internet users will randomly click on links from MySpace without thinking), but it also allows for the journal owner to post misinformed things about us. The final source, the randomized message, is probably never going to happen, but that is basically like putting a link to our site on ebaumsworld.
So uhh... yeah. YouTube will only link to us through promotional and informative material. MySpace will only open a portal from TASVideos to the 7th circle of internet hell.

Well... you all failed Omni. No one wins: we all lost. Let us all bow our heads in shame.
Also, I don't have to eat my hat. Sweet. Looks like I kinda win.

On Facebook, I put the site as one of my personal groups, but not as an actual group. The last thing I want is for this site to get invaded with college kids who think they know something about video games.
Also, this site should be as far distanced from Myspace as possible.
Why is there such a desire to get this site out to the masses?

Will you eat your hat Zurreco? ^^
Good luck on the job though OmnipotentEntity! Hopefully you won't be overqualified for the job that they don't want you.. =/
I have a lot of hats, to be honest. If I can pick the hat, I will eat it if we get 50 unique replies. Also, Omni's response counted as a self gratifying good luck wish.

In case anyone didn't know, OmnipotentEntity will be going in for a job interview on monday. It was originally scheduled for earlier this week, but it got rescheduled. Since barely anyone gave him the luck-wishings that he deserved on such a short notice earlier in the week, I figure that we should have a formal "3 Day Luck Omni Wishathon".
If we get over 30 separate and uniquely posted good lucks to our friend Omni in this thread, I will personally send this thread to his employers, ensuring that he will get the job he deserves.

Webcam / internet. Everyone knows women can't grasp the concept of converting their webcam recordings into small movies files, much less uploading those files to the internet, or even understanding what the internet is.
DUH!

I'm really only looking forward to the tron-eqsue and ninja-esque levels on this. Most of the game is really repetetive, though.
Good luck finding shortcuts!
The girl on the right looks like she wants to splash out a bowl of something in your face. :|
She is a friend of a friend of mine (the girl in the middle). She was drunk at Sungod festival trying to dance to the AP system checks before Damien Marley came on. It was an odd first impression, to be honest.
