Hear hear! Very well done.

I love the gandalf-y reading during the “I’m a planetcrap alumnus” part.

Also: “You just don’t get the idea behind an image do you? … it’s so elegant and real”

Wonderful.

He set himself up for most of those “dramatic moments”

My throat hurts, I put on a bit too much rasp.

So which post did you use?

Good job btw.

you sound insane… and are attempting to use flamebait to lure me… it won’t work. i’m planetcrap alumnus. i was sponsored by morn himself, God bless him.

I broke down right here.

Quite a few from that thread he was banned in, and I ordered them into some sort of climax

Absolutely brilliant!

Where the heck is this thread?! I totally missed it and this reading is unbelievably awesome. There should be a museum of awesome flameouts.

Yeah, that was awesome. It almost makes me want to clip out little snippets for use on the PoE TF2 server, and I never do that sound-clip shit.

“Mr. Collage degree!”

Damn fine work.

I love the use of music behind it all as well. This is great.

Among Mario’s many fine qualities and habits? He’s a spammer too. Curious about his utterly terrible website, I clicked on it (within Firefox 3.0, on OS X). I didn’t enter my email address anywhere. Nevertheless, he seems to have figured out how to slurp it up from all of his visitors automatically, or else just scraped it from Qt3’s public profiles… despite the fact that I’ve never once even replied to him or talked to him on the forums. I just got this email from him to my account:

Hello yentas,

This is to let you all know that I’m about to start playing BioShock.
In the meantime there is an awesome sound clip I’d like you all to listen to.
If you like funny this is very so. Here it is. Thanks go to J man for making it. (Aldo he’s a fucking kike cunt for deliberately saying taxi538 instead of taxi583 at the very end to send people to the wrong site. Faggot fucker should fuck his mother.)
Anyway, the clip had me literally in fucking tears. Enjoy.

Remember, you can always leave your hate on here.

Best Regards,

Mario

It’s a brilliant bit of retro webdesign. There’s absolutely no content, but he did manage a donation page.
I’m no expert, but don’t see how he can get my e-mail adress just by visiting his webpage, so go. Look at the wonders and enjoy this bit from his FAQ:

Don’t forget to donate.

Really well done and funny…
‘You can get a 500 gb hard drive for only 70 ducats
You should do more of these.

And Mario, if you are reading this, you should know that nobody hates you. If anything, Jon_Dangers’s tribute to you is flattering.

Cliffski and the Pirates, page 2 and further.

It’s impressive that the last piracy-thread involving Cliffski led to him and Chet more or less selfbanning.
This one, where Cliffski sort of returned but in a very reasonable manner, led to the quick flameout of Mario_AU.

We should have more threads about piracy.

Anybody seen www.mygazines.com? That has the potential to hurt even more of the professionals posting here than most torrent sites…

I thought Chet bowed out long ago, did he come back and I missed it?

No, he’s still gone.

Half Life 2 sucks.

Good going McMaster… now he’ll never come back.
