I get angered whenever someone shouts 'hacks' in any game without any proof. My close IRL friend has started calling these 'hackusations' (a portmanteau of hack and accusation, obviously). It's because of the fact that they say it whenever they lose because they just want to either put down their opponent or cover up their own lack of skill.
As of September 2nd, 2014, I've left the Frictional forums. Check my profile for more details.

especially on pc. If you go to 4:30 in this video and look at the chat when the nuke(moab) goes off.
The half-empty/half-full metaphor is such a joke. There is no such thing as a half-full glass after the pouring phase has ended. The glass is not going to accumulate any more liquid until somebody refills it, at which point its relative emptiness value is reset. Just by examining the function of a glass, which is to hold liquid until it is consumed, you can see how illogical the metaphor is. You know what optimism is? Knowing that the glass is half-empty, and looking forward to enjoying the rest of the fucking glass.
