Goal Celebration /facepalm

by ska5fe at 09:53 AM Share your /facepalm story



A pretty nice goal, but not such a nice ending...This is just speculation, but I'm assuming that the glass had been broken earlier, and they hadn't replaced the pane yet.

Pilots too busy to remember flight path

by vipergtsrz at 07:37 AM Share your /facepalm story

A couple of pilots were playing on their laptops during a flight and missed their destination by 150 miles. According to their employer, "Using laptops or engaging in activity unrelated to the pilots' command of the aircraft during flight is strictly against the airline's flight deck policies and violations of that policy will result in termination".

The airline gave every passenger a $500 voucher as an apology.

While what the pilots did was definetly a /facepalm, I kind of feel bad for them. What if they were playing a flight simulator on their laptops or something? I do agree with Engadget that it's a good thing they didn't have WiFi on the plane or who knows how far off course the plane would have gone while the pilots played World of Warcraft.

Cyber-cheating gone wrong

by lester at 09:32 PM Share your /facepalm story

 

Well, not wrong so much as public.  Very, very public.

My soon-to-be wife was never into gaming as I was.  In fact, she never plays any games on the computer at all, including solitaire.  I consider myself fortunate because I know the types of guys that are out there, at least as long as they are on the other end of a Ventrilo connection, not that I would worry so much about her cheating on me.  But the unknown and mysterious has a great allure and wandering minds will wander.  The key is bringing yourself back down to earth in a hurry, or as I like to call it "watching the skirts walk around at lunch and then head back up to the office".  Aside - I love the summer.

I found this nice little advice column with an article concerning the very topic of cyber-cheating.  Seems the wife thinks the husband is spending a little too much time alone with a little hussy but the little hussy won't spend any time in a group with her and the husband is giving her the "quality time" she used to get, or something to that effect.  Of course she never really mentions anything she has done to help the relationship become, and stay, strong and healthy.  Maybe if she went out and bought a swing, some handcuffs, a little leather and latex, she wouldn't be in this situation to begin with.

Epeen points to anyone who can tell me how to say "game over" in Klingon.  Super epeen points if you can tell me how to say any of the famous lines from Duke Nukem including "Vapourware".

One of the dumbest WoW questions ever asked

by vipergtsrz at 04:45 PM Share your /facepalm story

When I saw this question on the official forums of World of Warcraft, the only response I could think of was /facepalm.

"I didn't make the beta cut so now I want to know if there is anyone whom can help me set up a private server - I'd like to try playing a Death Knight."

Check out the perfect response from a World of Warcraft  employee

Prof Gets $100,000 Grant to Study World of Warcraft

by vipergtsrz at 02:18 PM Share your /facepalm story

I'm not sure how I feel about someone getting $100,000 to "study" how Americans play World of Warcraft. There is no way that anything valuable could come out of this $100,000 "research" project. How could anyone justify needing $100,000 to study people who play WoW? Their argument is that they want to find out why Americans make more mods for WoW and the Chinese do. I could tell you the reason right now for $0. The Chinese are too busy playing WoW to feed their families. They don't have time for programming mods.

It would be nice to see that $100,000 check in my mailbox now that I've answered the question they had.
