Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Dylan Thomas


Although Mr. Thomas is referring to human death here, it also holds true to the way many people feel about the game they love.

A little raging could go a long way in making EA understand that the players do not want some of the things they are trying or will try to implement.

It may do no good at all however.

One of the things about inevitable death is acceptance. If the game becomes something some of us do not wish to accept we will simply move on. But not without a little raging.

IMO I think there is enough raging on these boards to write a book, plus three sequels!

oh wow!...one of my favorites!
here's my own version

I see the world as it should be and I live in the world as it is. I see in the world the multitude that have bred complacency of apathy into our existence, and it sickens me.

I don't find this line funny at all. In my opinion, I find it rather appalling and I am offended by such a statement being used so loosely.

Going off topic here i suppose but i do not think that comment is any more loosely used than the one you have in your signature.

I am sorry if my comment offended you, and it was not made in an effort to offend anyone. Please accept my apology. I dont want this thread to turn nasty and become a bashing thread.......

Don't worry about it. It's not any more offensive than his signature about shoving kids in an oven.

Neither offends me, but I'm not everyone.

Anyway, nice quote.

Why not:

If you are chasing life and fall off a cliff, drop 500 feet and hit 20 cacti on the way down, and land on a pointed rock. Just stand up dust yourself off and resume your chase for life.

Then you see a shadow coming at you, its the lip of the cliff ...SMACK... screen goes to black...

Uh... ok... I get it.
We (the players) are a bunch of furry morons with big ears, big nose, no pants, unlimited credit card, an incredible resistance to multiple compound fractures, and a taste for fast food.

Hmmm.... never looked at it that way.

Interesting.

it was a number i pulled out of my ass

i'll say that now before you start reading people's post history to get the actual count.

my point was that the people disagreeing.. all seem to be in a similar group. maybe it's a fad, i don't know. complaining is the new black?

well im not so sure about individual appearances, but i wouldnt mind unlimited credit cards, and i do have a taste for fast food. Furthermore, although i really do not wish to know the numbers, I'm betting there be some pant-less players at times! ROFL

Robot stations in factories were obviously ordered from the ACME company because they never work right. Robot workers need the speed of the roadrunner to escape catastrophe and the perserverance of Wyle E Coyote to keep going.

I wouldn't be so fast to dismiss the life lessons taught in cartoons
