Also this is a BIG one: People who seem to think they have some kind of authority over others

Yeah, [censored] all those judges and cops!

New Vegas General discussion, "Bethesda set the deadline too early" and "That's okay because Fallout 3 svcks" :rolleyes:

Yeah, i don't have enough things to worry about :blush:

And the breaking windows in Dead Space 2. Who the [censored] designs a space station so that it decompresses when someone sneezes towards the glass :swear:

I too hate it too when people turn their base to max, and all you hear is that THUD THUD THUD. It really makes a guy want to break a few windows...


If you did it when the bass was max they'd brag to their friends...."My bass is so bad, it blew the window out ! "

*note to mods*....nobody is actually advocating property damage here, but it is pretty frustrating, and I'm done with the subject.

Well I'm not sure who you mean by "kids", but I'm fourteen and I never cry or scream into the mike. During the two or three months I actually had Black Ops even when I had my mike on I hardly ever spoke. Most of my friends forgot I was there. Like I said, even if mature kids are few, if they are mature I'm not going to blast them for playing x game because they are a certain age. I have heard advlts be much more immature then some kids I've heard. So the only reason I would tell a kid off is if he was kicking and screaming like your before mentioned young one.

Eleven and under.

Whenever someone acts like that I always ask how old they are, and every single one of them end up being under 11. Really, if they're going to rage like that they shouldn't wear the mic.

How did I know someone would say this?
Perhaps I should re-phrase my statement. "People who have authority over others, and ABUSE their authority." Obviously there needs to be some type of power over the people, lest they disolve into little more than just wild beasts. But, people in power should never abuse their position. And after all, authority is just a mind set

Waiting for my freakin game to get here. I order on the 1st, and expect it to get here Friday-Saturday. Well guess what? It doesn't. And since they don't deliver mail on Sunday, my entire weekend was wasted.

Certain people that lack social skills. I'm not talking about disabilities, I'm just talking about people who are just completely rude and cut you off all the time. Those are the kind of people that won't laugh when you say something funny but expect you to laugh when they do. Ugh <_<

Also when my parents believe they know everything about life just because they are older than I am. We are living paycheck to paycheck, we have like 4 loans out right now, and my dad won't be able to retire until he is 70 because he has to pay back the 401K loan. I know more than they do and I'm 16. <_< let the "you just think you know things" comments begin. I'm not claiming I know everything, but at least I know getting loans is a stupid idea and thinking you don't have to finish high school is even more stupid.

I would agree that when you're that age you shouldn't be using a mike. I did fine during my years of eleven and under without a mike, those kids can deal with it. I usually like to go by the old saying "It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt." and I think all those kids should do the same.

Not being able to properly troll as Dan/Zangief. I can't spam Zangief's headbutt correctly and I can't play quarter-circle characters for the life of me.

Definitely the most annoying thing ever.

You and me both.
I'm expecting Dead Rising 2 and Undead Nightmare. What are you waiting on?

Honestly, my problem with people in games are the ones who finds 'teabagging' Sooooo funny. :rolleyes:

You're lucky you don't have friends that talk about it and their killstreaks, always raving on about 'Call of Duty'. It was never my type of game, but I get annoyed whenever my friends say, "Hey, I threw this tomahawk and killed a guy" or "Pfft, that gun svcks. It fails." Or, "You noob."

When someone says "Having fun?" to you at work. It's about as bad as "Sounds like somebody's got a case of the Mondays", which I've actually heard outside of Office Space references. I honestly didn't think that happened.

Could someone explain this to me? Is it like lurking in a corner hiding, lying in wait, waiting for someone....instead of being in the action? Or is it something else? I'm just curious.

You're telling me :rolleyes: I hate it when they do that, and whenever I try to turn the conversation into something about Fallout, Elder Scrolls, Doom, etc they just keep talking about CoD...CoD.... herp derp. :facepalm:

I sent them the Duty Calls video :D

What you explained is called "camping" my dear children, and is in fact frowned upon in most FPS games. (cookie if you get the reference)

Teabagging is where you go to a dead body, mostly in FPS games. And you press the crouch button repeatedly on their body to simulate humping. So basically, humping your dead body :P

I hate it when certain things scraqe against each other, like certain people's shoes scraping/sliding on a hard dusty floor, especially when they're clumsy with it. So annoying it really makes me feel like I might have to kill the person.

People who have to use the elevator even though their just going to the floor right above them or just below them.

I almost never use the elevator but I have done this a few times just for a different way of traveling from point:a to point:b :shrug:

oh and @mumatil

Have you ever played Call Of Duty or Call Of Duty 2? In my opinion those are some great shooters. When or why it became the thing it is today I don't know, but those games are great. They are very different from the things they have today, and if you're a fan of older, more challenging FPS games then you'll love those.

Wanna know what else grinds my gears? Haters. Not my haters in particular; (as they are non-existant :P) but haters in general.

There are people out there that hate certain things with a passion (we all do) but some people hate things for no real reason; or just because it's "cool" to hate it. Things like Justin Bieber, Twilight, etc.. To me; those folks are just as annoying as the lovers.. I mean; how do they effect your life anyway? Has anyone ever come up to you and said; "Hey you svck, because Twilight exists!"

Unless Stephenie Meyer is on this forum; Im expecting an all-round no.

Im not a Justin Bieber fan exactly, but the guys successful, you can't deny that. Did he exploit you for his success? No. Then why are you pissed at him? If you hate his work; follow this simple advice.. Don't listen to it! That's what I do, and Im perfectly happy. :D

(Well not perfectly happy. If I was perfectly happy I wouldn't be posting in this thread, now would I? Rather, I am mildly satisfied with my current situation.)

:P

People that know nothing of cars and how to maintain them.

Preps. (Yes, i know this is labeling people. But they annoy me. As do sports players (Most of them anyway))

People that think heavy metal is all evil.

Thick southern accents

Fox news

Call of duty

People that blame every single crime on video games

Many, many more.
