Ha! Dude's a loser.

 

[ZombiePosessor]

Ha! Dude's a loser.

He's not a loser if he had a prescription for it dude. Just because some people enjoy weed doesn't make them losers.

 

[431unknown]

Nope, he's a loser and it has nothing to do with the weed. I don't give a shit if someone smokes weed.

He's not saying he is a loser for having marijuana which can be a good reason why someone IS a loser, Geohot is just a loser in general so get off your horse.

Okay, so he hacked the PS3 AND recorded a rap song. What have you accomplished, prowler?

 

[prowler]

i'm prowler, duh

just because he's hacked some shit doesn't mean he is any less than a loser its the way you go about stuff and he does it all wrong.

edit: and way to edit your post and change all meaning after i posted

Loser and Winner are subjective terms - for you he's a loser because he's got an attitude you don't like and he smokes Mary Jane. For millions of other people he's a Winner for the exact same reasons, without even taking the PS3 hacking into consideration.

That said, I've had it with hearing about him everywhere.

knowing him, he was probably waving it around trying to show off

The point was somebody pointed out that he's booksmart (and working with the technology he does, he's definitely not tech-illiterate), yet your response was pointing out stupid videos he's made. The question is does one override the other? I mean I've written like 86,212 stickies and guides here, but I still make stupid shit and put it on youtube. That doesn't invalidate me knowing what I'm talking about when it comes to a few subjects. It's perfectly possible for a smart person to do dumb shit, either for laughs, or plain old lack of judgment.

i'm not saying he is a loser just for posting that video, that is one of the reasons yes but he is just a loser type of guy, ps3 or not.
getting arrested for possession of drugs is a loser type of thing to do too.

I'm not exactly one to celebrate drug use so it's not that I disagree with the initial idea that this is stupid, but your response to snailface's comment seemed a bit... blinded by rage.

Read this on Kotaku, he had a licence for medical marijuana in California, which he kept with him.
