First off.... I did not go to AUSA this year do to job searching, but I have these 2 things to report

1. Apparently, the band "Versallies" caused some major issues, among them, starting 4 hours late with no warning to the con goers, not caring to practice or being considerate, at least 1 case of assault on a member of the press, smashing the camera into his face, and being all around Assholes. Ask those who did go for more info, My suggestion to Katsucon and Otakon and the other cons, do NOT bring in Versallies. matter of fact, ban them from it!

2. a certain user named Sciguy, a former member of "The Anime radio show" has been causing trouble again, saying things behind the legions back, calling people cowards. Hey you know what Sciguy? Heres why we don't want to have any dealings with you
1. Your a womanizer, and will lie and do anything to get a girl in bed.
2. you have no standards of decency, and have several times even go so far as hitting on underage girls.
3. Face it.. your cosplaying sucks, And no... Kenshin NEVER had greasy slick back hair.... nice try....

oh and by the way... stay off the FFXI forums, trying to trick another girl, like the pathetic cowardly weasel you are. Trying to nominate her for "Adventurer of the week" to woo here? ha, nice try.

One of my biggest issues, is the whole "Noob" subject in games. Mainly, because it's applied to just about anything that works, all in the name of trying to make the game easier for one play style or another. Seriously. lets look

Camping in any Halo games, is noobish (part of the reason I stopped playing Halo PC) Because it would be such a pain in the ass to go follow the path of tracer rounds/smoketrails/glowing grenades, etc etc to the same guy who sniped you 3 times because you are a damn idiot. 

using the M203 or GP30 Grenade launcher attachments (which take the place of a teir 1 perk, which surprise: is mainly gear related perks) in CoD4 is called being a Noob, and thus grenade launchers are called Noob-tubes (Shall I call the waaaaaahbulance  for all those who get killed by a Grenade launcher round?)

in FFXI, some players (not all, generally only a small portion) will call you a noob, if you don't follow their suggestion of using x sub/party/gear (I.E. I'm looking at you, Samurais who all shout "ZOMG! Hagun or GTFO noob!")

In WoW, your just called a noob for some random reason during an instance. Example:  doing the Shadow Fang Keep instance, and a level 21 Blood Elf Paladin calls everyone noobs, and then when we need him to cast his ressurection spells, states "oh Paladin's don't know that at this level" (odd.. then how come I have the Resurrection spell "Redemption" and I got it back at level 12, despite the fact that I too am a Blood Elf Paladin?)

Unless their doing something horribly wrong, they are not a noob, (my view of a noob being someone who brags constantly about their skills, and then when the time comes for them to show their skills, their like a deer caught in your headlights...)
