"Not this shit again" moments

[Just_A_Glitch]

Each new Guitar Hero game (though to be fair, this upcoming one actually seems to show signs of improvement).

When a friend recommends a band that they claim I will love with a burning passion equal to, or greater than, a thousand suns. Then the band sucks. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUU...

 

[Machiavellian007]

Whenever I finish an assignment for school, like the one I'm doing right now, and then on the day it's due the teachers tell us that they'll extend the due date for x days. I have a job, unlike most people in my class, and if I can complete the assignment two days before the original due date, they fucking can as well.

/rant about my retarded classmates. I hate being in a girls-only school.

 

[Super Toast]

When ever I see "Am I the only one?" and "Why all the hate for ----" threads.

EDIT: Also whenever I see the stupid "They hate it because its popular to hate" argument.

Definitely this. Especially those "Am I the only one..." threads. No. You're not. Shut up.

 

[Instinct Blues]

Whenever someone brings up that little douchenozzle Justin Bieber, especially when they do it in youtube comments on a video of band that has nothing to do with Bieber. Comments are along the lines of this "This is real music not that little shit Justin Bieber". I always facepalm and just say "Not this shit again" because I always forget about him until someone mentions his name. Some people just won't let him fade away into obscurity and its really annoying.

I am aware that in posting this that I am also in fact bringing up Justin Bieber so I'm totally aware of the irony no need to point it out.

EDIT: Also whenever I hear Weezer is releasing a new album don't get me wrong I love Weezer I'm just saying slow down the release of albums a little bit.

 

[-Samurai-]

Whenever I see an anti-piracy of pro-piracy thread.

When I call a potential employer and the manager is on vacation. Seriously, every manager in the city is on vacation at the same time, and they're never coming back. That's what I've learned.

So, my birthday is coming up in less than a month, so I'm considering "SUBTLY" hinting that I want Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner: Kuzunoha Raidou Vs. The Soulless Army.

You know, I think it's a really cool concept, maybe this SMT game will be hard without being turn based, and maybe hard without being too bullshi--

Oh god dammit, not this shit again! I already dished out eighty bucks for Tales of the Abyss, dammit!.. Why are the games I want always so stupidly rare?

Anyways, fellow Escapists, the topic of discussion is:
Have you ever had any moments that make you say, "Oh, not this shit again!"

Amazon was wanting me to pay $70 for a new copy of .Hack G.U. Redemption. I say screw Amazon.com. I did some digging and found a place where I could buy it for $17. The day I pay more than $60 for a game will never come.

OT: Every single time it rains even if its just a lite drizzle it knocks out the satellite signal, and it always seems to happen when there is some show I want to watch. Curse you Direct tv.

first of all, why are you getting a shin megami tensei that is not persona? you better have every single persona game before doing something silly like that! especially persona 2, innocent sin.

OT:every day i go to school and this loser goes up to me and starts freaken touching me and talking to me and *shudder*

It's okay man, it's okay.
*quick bro hug*
The same thing happened to me in eighth grade. He sat right next to me in history and he kept rubbing my leg. I was like "What the fuck man". But he just kept doing it. I couldn't say anything because it would cause a scene. Good thing he moved. Just thinking about it makes me shudder.

Beat P3P then look it up on wikipedia and tell me that the ending doesn't suck for the main character.
Still, it's all good up until then. Mostly.

I just read a story summary of P3FES, since I already beat P3P once.

Speaking as someone who despised Aigis... There is no P3FES.

Try searching around Gamestop's and second hand stores. Gamestop alone got me Tales of the Abyss for $25 and Devil SUmmoner 2's Limited Edition for $20. Internet prices are ridiculously jacked up.

I had that feeling when I saw Xenogears for $200. Now I have a store holding it for me until I can pick it up for $25.

Random Encounters.

[MasterV]

I'll bring a game based experience. When a game needs to go through 4956 unskippable corporate logos to start and then subjects me to an unskippable and long-winded tutorial.

 

[Frozen Donkey Wheel2]

When I saw the latest "Riddle Thread" on the Escapist. Start the countdown until people get nit-picky and over-analyzing.

The question you should be asking is "If you're buying another Shin Megami Tensei game, why is it not Nocturne?"

You must have the most epic Gamestops in all the land. We have this one Gamestop that's staffed by NON-douchebags, but... Fucking hell, they never have the out-dated rare games I want. Like, ever. And besides that, usually we end up on a road trip, only to obtain a scratched and beaten disc that works, but makes terrifying noises.

Speaking of Xenogears, I still haven't gotten through it. My god, I fucking hate PSX discs. Our copy of Xenogears literally broke a PSX. Allow me to sum up my feelings as best I can. Ahem.

Only replace KHAAAAAN with SONYYYYY.

Just sift through their racks and you'll find something. You have to be diligent in your searches. Only then will you find awesome deals like Disgaea 2 for $20 and Shadow of the Colossus for $9.

A new game comes out, and my computer is far behind minimum specs.

For instance, 2 years ago I DREAMED of one that could run F.E.A.R., HL2, DOOM 3, and the like. They were THE games to have.

Well, now I have that compy. And it can't run Mass Effect, Command and Conquer 4, etc.

You need to start building your own pc's. My 3 year old, 300 pound computer can run crysis on high. I just bought good value, second hand components. And the slow pace of software recently, has meant it's stilloverpowered for most games.

I'm now convinced that you either live in magical-future-space-land, or you have good luck with used copies of games.

I gave up on used games around the time I got a mother fucking DS game that didn't want to work properly. Discs have to be in really damn good condition for them to work on our PS2s. Curse our shitty copy of Dark Cloud 2. Just... Curse it.

The question you should be asking is "If you're buying another Shin Megami Tensei game, why is it not Nocturne?"

Because I saw what it does to people. One guy literally played through on Hard mode and, with a level 99 character and level 96 minimum demons, tried to beat the final boss about eight times in a row or so. And he never succeeded.

 

[philosophicalbastard]

Every time any electronics fuck up. I have a special kind of rage I reserve just for machines.

 

[Extraintrovert]

Any time someone equates the person they're arguing with, or their argument itself with that of the Nazi party on an internet forum.

This, this, fucking this. It is inflammatory hyperbole of the worst kind, is disgustingly popular and makes me almost physically sick. Even on The Escapist so many people are willing to casually repeat terms such as "grammar nazi" with no comprehension whatsoever of what that would actually mean (I tend to visualise those of poor grammer being forced to wear special badges).

On a slightly less furious matter, I tend to react with "not this shit again" everytime I see advertisements instead of simply ignoring or avoiding them. It is always the same insincere, transparent misinformation and outright lies spewed again and again to be eagerly imbibed by the stupid and gullible, my reaction being towards both the severe lack of imagination of advertising companies and the level of idiocy required to fall for any of it.
