Part II
Titan stopped short of the town center...aghast from several hundred yards at the site of several of the local huts set ablaze, as YouTube's legions ransacked his small town for all it was worth..his respit from his spring from the streamside was only temprorary however...he thought of his sister and rushed headlong towards the village...arriving in the midst he began to choke on the acrid smoke rising from the burning thatch. Hearing the scream of his sister he wheeled around, only to see his sister being dragged into one of hte last remaining unscathed hut by one of YouTube's minions, a lecherous grin on his face, as his companions laughed. He began to run towards the hut to save his sister's maidenhead, only to be knocked down by one of the soldiers, and mocked. He would never see his sister again.

He then broke into a spring for his family's thatched cottage out on the outskirts of the township, but as he crested Olde Man's hill, he knew it was too late....he saw smoke rising from the ruins of the family farm, his father lay in front, sword in hand....but disembowled, and a short knife sticking from his eye, the hilt bearing the symbol of YouTube.....his mothers body lay over the fathers, her throat cut; her beige smock stained crimson red with the liquid that once gave her life.

And that my friends, is why TitanDiddly hates YouTube. It killed his parents, deflowered and murdered his sister, and burned his village to the ground.

Wow. They should make a video game about this!

No, I hate it because it's got retarded proprietary player software, takes a long time to load, and isn't accessible from many places. I don't see what's wrong with people hosting videos on their own domain.
1) The software isn't proprietary, it's just a flash app (duuuuh).
2) Seems fast enough for me. (Try this, it's the #1 featured video on the site right now, so you know it's getting hit like crazy--it loads lickety split).
3) Perhaps you shouldn't be looking at videos at those places if it's being blocked.

In summary, you're an idiot.

Is that honestly how Fable starts? Looks like MS has heard the lore that surrounds TitanDiddly's bloodthirst that can only be quenced by the sangria of YouTube as well

You know, I'm not quite sure, but it did remind me of it. :)

You just don't like me because I started the 'New Orleans should die' thread.

I don't like YouTube or Google Video or any similar service. I prefer to download videos onto my HD and play them on the player I want.

uh...ok, I don't even really remember that thread (there are a lot of dumbasses here who make threads like that).

I was just pointing out how every one of your "reasons" for hating YouTube is erroneous.

flash is popular, everyone has it installed. makes for compatibility across the board much easier. and bandwidth is not cheap.

the only gripe I have w/ it is quality is really terrible, google video's default is better. then again, it is free. if youtube would match google, it's be a win for me.
