Firefox kinda sucks now

I thought the recent upgrade to Firefox is going to make it even more better than last time. I thought the new shiny logo would prove that it would be indeed be superior than all the other browsers. I guess I thought wrong. When I play Typing Maniac on Facebook using Firefox 3.5, the audio lags with the video. I tried it on Opera and it works fine. Oh, and if you're going to criticize my computer, I'm actually on my 5-year old laptop during that time.

I hope they address these nuisances soon. I need Firefox badly, its addons rock and so does open source software development. Too bad it keeps getting bullied by Safari and the overhyped Internet Explorer 8.

Classic games

I'm having a craving for classic games at the moment. Especially those from the 90's, those games which I blankly played during my childhood years. It was those violent video games like Quake 2 wherein I have no idea beating it without using cheat codes. Ah, those were the days.

Now I'm feeling nostalgic and itching to replay those great games of the past. I bought Quake and Quake 2 on Steam for a little less than $18. Also I downloaded a free copy of Demonstar, an awesome arcade style shooter I play long ago. These and together with GTA2 (courtesy of free Rockstar Games classics downloads), and Duke Nukem 3D (you can get the full game with the Atomic Edition for less than $5).

Maybe I'll think about buying a typewritting also. But no, my fingers would hate typing on hard, unresponsive surfaces. So I'd rather not.

People getting too emotional; Buggy Youtube comment reply system

I just got into a debate with a Pinoy over at this music video on Youtube. First, he ranted about one of the lines in the video, wherein it is stated, "Those Filipino sluts", which has no relation whatsoever with the theme of the music video itself. The video was meant to poke fun at orientals such as the Chinese, not southeast asians. Maybe Rukka Rukka Ali just added Pinoys there for a little fun. But the guy I got into a debate took the joke too personally and began to rant endless, gramatically-incorrect and senseless comments on the video, which made me severely pissed and made me reply in anger:
Some Pinoy fag: this vid is fuckshit pinoys are not sluts1!!
Me (in reply): They sure can't type comments with sense.
Some Pinoy fag (in reply to my reply): am i talking to you?
zzzz (adds some retarded manga inspired smiley)
you're probably being racist
Me: And you're probably being stupid, we're talking about your suckness here, not the suckness of Pinoys in general.
And, pare, Pinoy din ako, bakit ko naman ibababa ang tingin ko sa bansa ko?
I checked his profile, he was just another plain Youtuber whose video is just him successfully pulling an enemy using Pudge's meat hook about 400 Warcraft 3 units away in DoTa. Good job. I hope your mother is proud of you.

I didn't get a reply for at least two days. I guess most Pinoys can't fight in a formal debate. No wonder the country runs like shit, and the only thing we can be proud about is the field of boxing. Or the number of homicides in a year (from Guiness World Records 2009), or the largest street rat (a real mouse, a rodent, not a thug, again from Guiness 2009).

What's the use of the education here if people don't even apply it in real life?

P.S. God I hate Youtube these days! I can't reply properly to other people's comments like I'm used to be. My reply is instead added as another regular comment and people can't point to the comment I'm responding to. So I have to resort to using Twitter style @responses.
