You can't be serious... nows not the time to compare an MMO to delicate surgery.
I'm Deadly serious Boulver. MMOs take a great deal of skill... surgery's basically just cutting someone up like playing a rogue and any moron can play a rogue.

Right... i'm sure you can do the surgery with your keyboard&mouse skills.

I've made plastic models with an exacto knife, I can do it for fifty bucks!!!
A tool is a tool regardless. I mean if you suck, you suck, and not even the most perfect tool could save you. And if your damn good then even with the worst tool ever conceived you could chug out some high quality shit.

Sorry but uhhh I'm kind of a big deal when it comes to MMOs.

Just like how I had to do your MOTHER with my eyes clo

Guys guys guys. I don't think this is a joking matter. In fact, I am horrified that you talk about Steel's life in such an underhanded way. How dare you. He's going through some tough shit, and you guys should be a little more serious. :(

I propose that we donate money to steel for premium membership.

EDIT:
Seriously though, Steel,
GLDDHFKA.
(Good luck, Don't Die, Have Fun, Kick Ass)

We're all rootin' for you to get through this.

honestly i am kind of doing the equivalent of NERVOUS LAUGHTER. this surgery is apparently not a common one and I really need to find someone with experience and every day that passes stresses me out more. I probably won't hear from my oncologist or the one I'm contacting for a second surgical opinion till Monday.

until then joking about it is seriously the only way I can deal with this news! that and playin my precious vidcons...

Good luck Steel.  You might want to start thinking about the deathbed stuff such as your memoirs and your final stance on religion.
Hey, you know, this was entirely unnecessary. You must be an optimist and think positive.

All the best, Steel.

Shut up guys, he is right.  Like there is a VERY REAL CHANCE that Steel could die and that is pretty horrifying, but from what he's said it seems like he's kind of gotten through it by hoping for the best and telling himself he'd get through it, and not that that's not a good idea, but yeah, he really should plan for that stuff.  Not MEMOIRS or IS GOD REAL??? specifically, but you know, OTHER THINGS you might want to give some thought to if you are going to die very prematurely.  Stuff like memoirs/will (do you even own anything?? lol) didn't even occur to me and don't occur to a lot of people dealing with cancer/chemotherapy, so I think DAWG THINK ABOUT WRAPPING STUFF UP IN CASE WORSE COMES TO WORST is legitimate advice and clearly not a joke.  I'm sure there are a lot of "in case I die, I want you to know ______"s or "if I'm going to die I want to _______" and shit and he probably already thought of them but it doesn't hurt to suggest.

uyou son of a bitch i like being at a warn level itmakes me feel like my dick is large.

also honestly I'm planning on recording something (since my hands come and go) before the surgery just in case. paranoia and honestly if I had to be awake for the surgery, probably a bad idea because it would stress me out, but I'm just that afraid of this shit.

a positive attitude can get you through chemo because you keep saying IT CAN ONLY LAST SO LONG but death is a v. scary thing. earlier in this thread I mentioned I wasn't really scared of death, and while that still somewhat holds true, I DONT WANNA DIE. a death from cancer is a very painful thing, and dying while asleep on a surgical bed sounds like the shittiest thing ("well ma'am you know that procedure we were doing to help your son's life expectancy? it killed him! lmao, keep the change lol").

I mean the odds are against me dying either way imho but still.

I wonder if you're more likely to die in a car accident than in surgery?

You do know that even if he ACCEPTS JESUS/KRISHNA IN HIS HEART nothing is going to happen to change the current situation?

honestly I did not say OH SHIT MY SURGERY IS INCREDIBLY RISKY because I want pity or prayers. just reiterating; if you know ANYONE who can put me in contact with the best mediastinal surgeon I can find, please, fucking HELP ME. the mediastinum is one of the more rare and dangerous areas to operate on, and I need help finding a surgeon who I can feel confident in.'

please if you have any relatives who are doctors, PLEASE ask them. I'm pulling all the strings I can and have a few names, but this is quite literally my life in the balance. I'm 22 years old, I really don't want to die in surgery.

you should write a bucket list

That’s right, you have the young gaming with the old(er), white people gaming with black people, men and women, Asian countries gaming with the EU, North Americans gaming with South Americans. Much like world sporting events like the Wolrd Cup, or the Olympics will bring together different nations in friendly competition, (note the recent Asian Cup; Iraq vs. Saudi Arabia, no violence there) we come together. The differences being, we are not divided by our nationalities and we do it 24-7, and on a personal level.

We are a community without borders and without colours, the spirit and diversity of the gaming community is one that should be looked up to, a spirit and diversity other groups should strive toward.
