12:01am: OMG YOU LYKE SPOILED REVENGE OF THE SITH!!!

Because we, you know, didn't know what would happen.

Fanficrants wins at life.

12:09am: Veronica Mars Wank
Copied from wank_report:

“Kristen Bell is naked and hot. Although not so much naked as artfully photographed.

Wank about not wanking ensues.

Including such gems as: 'Ew, all you guys are perverted. (Well, I am a girl.) And that is sad that Kristen Bell would do something so trashy. It's the same thing as posing for playboy, and actually makes me lose respect for her.' and 'I have no more respect left for KB right now.' All without actually looking at the picture in question. Because that would be pervy, yo.”

And a bonus, from fox1013: Veronica Mars Paper Dolls!

9:10am: So the Metal Gear Solid fandom is usually pretty quiet- which is a bit surprising, considering it tends to be divided into two extreme halves, the slash fangirls and the anti-slash group. What we have here today doesn't even have anything to do with that!

Someone called 5exy515 posts to the general community, to share her picks for a possible live action movie based on the third game. She, unfortunately, decides that Tom Cruise is a great choice to play our hero Snake. (The rest of us collective hold our breath, waiting for the first person to blast her.)

hardrockfoo rages, using some of the most amazing spelling I've seen in my life. jinkaku thinks that a movie would detract from the experience, and turn the series into a "mainstream, milked franchise". (Uhhhh...) hardrockfoo responds with something pretty much equivalent to AMERIKANS R DUM, jinkaku IS A PROUD AMERICAN DAMMIT, red_eyed_yoshi is one haughty Canadian, and invisible_dante is desperately trying to correct Rock Foo's spelling.

Oh, Big Boss would be so proud of these people. Fight the power, guys.

6:49pm: How do you say "lol @ you taking internet for real" in Shanghainese?
On Metafilter, Trik posts about the sentencing of a Chinese gamer who murdered another guy over an mmog "cyber-weapon":

Death sentence for online gamer SHANGHAI: A Shanghai online gamer who murdered another player because of a dispute over a "cyber-weapon" was given the death sentence with a two-year reprieve yesterday at Shanghai No 2 Intermediate People's Court. Qiu Chengwei's death penalty will be commuted to life in prison if he behaves well in jail, and no other crimes relating to him are uncovered.

Not to condone the murder, but is cyber theft or isn't it? Acording to the DMCA if I download a song or movie from cyberspace I am commiting a crime. Yet if someone steals your item in a cyberworld and sells it for real world cash your left without recourse. I feel China had a chance to establish new law and balked.

MetaFilter is confused. "Does Trik want us to sympathize with the guy who killed someone else OVER AN ONLINE GAME?" they ask. In several tl;dr comments, Trik explains that this is exactly what he wants. Snark happens.

Edit: Trik swims farther out towards the deep end! Now someone selling your cyber-sword is like rape:

There are people living in societies today, where say you have a family of a father, mother, son, daughter.
Some asshole rapes and brutalizes either or both the mother or sister / daughter.
Unable to live with the shame that the mother and or sister / daughter has brought upon them, the father and or son / brother, will murder their mother and or sister / daughter.
Whereas in my culture / society the sonofabitch that hurt my mother and or sister better pray the cops get him before I do. And no one will ever hurt them again.

I wouldn't victimize the victim again.

I think that guy felt like he'd been victimize 3x.
