"Not this shit again" moments

[StarStruckStrumpets]

When a game tells me to go somewhere, only for a fucking mysterious cave-in to occur, and send me half away around the game world just to open a bastard door!

Case in point: BioShock.

Watching that little arrow spin around and tell me I had to go somewhere else pissed me right off.

Everytime another crappy reality TV show gets announced Like Australian/American Idol, The X Factor, Master Chef etc.

That shit got old about 10 years ago.

Log on the Escapist. Notice Game Dogs is having a second season.

When I found a copy of Serial Experiments Lain PS1 game, $250!? hell no!!!

 

[Nigh Invulnerable]

You did notice that the game is also available for only $33 in that post, right?

I have really, really shitty luck when it comes to used games.

We literally have games that just plain do not run or crash during cutscenes.

That sucks, but not all the "new and used" are in fact used. I've gotten tons of brand new CDs via those links for a third the Amazon price (or better).

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!"

Similar story, someone on here recently posted a video for the band Maximum the Hormone. It was a pretty good song, and a bit different than most of my music. Anyway, I got to amazon, and go to mp3 downloads to search for them, and they don't have anything. Fine, they might have some stupid objection to having their songs up for download. I search for it again in the general music category, and the albums all cost thirty or forty dollars! What the fuck!

The cheapest one, at 16, is a fucking single! I'm not paying sixteen dollars for one or two fucking songs! What the hell, Amazon?

Also, your game is thirty dollars used. Still a lot, but it's not as high as eighty.

When those bastards in call centres call my house asking me to buy something or other.

 

[CrashBang]

Every time one of my flatmates, whom the rest of us all hate, turns the kitchen into an unlivable mess or when he literally fills the entire toilet bowl with shit
When I find out the new game I just bought has an escort mission
When I find out the new metal album I just bought has another, almost obligatory, 'slow song' like 'Vermillion' on Slipknot's 'Subliminal Verses'
When the internet in my flat goes down again

 

[Nedoras]

Whenever my power goes out. It seems to go out at least once a month or so. It wouldn't bother me so much if it went out during a storm or something(that would be understandable), but my power always goes out when it has no reason to. It often goes out 3 hours or so AFTER a storm hits, or sometimes just randomly on a sunny day. Plus whenever it does go out, it's when I'm playing a game and haven't saved in a few hours -_-

 

[daltob]

When kids see how superior Crysis 2 is compared to mw2 and all of them move to that

 

[ShadowDude112]

Firstly I hate when people praise COD by saying it's the best game ever when it's not and I really want to tell them to go suck a dick. Also when I play inFamous in the mission called "Anything for Trish" the people who made that can die in a fire. A very big fire.

 

[CrashTestZombie]

Every time I see a 12-year-old with a mic on Xbox Live.


I swear if it wasn't for the mute button I would go insane.

 

[science girl]

Every season of American Idol. Also, whenever a new trend comes out, like Twilight.

I hope twilight goes away soon this whole team edward vs. team jacob. I want to be on team let's never talk about twilight.

 

[AwesomePeanutz]

When my connection shorts out, I get disconnected, have to wait a few minutes to re-connect to XBL, then join a whole new game. "Not this shit again" indeed.

 

[rescuer86]

Dane. Cook.
Skinny jeans on men.
Idiots paying upwards of $200 for ripped jeans.
Ignorant people with no real world experience. I just spent 6 years in the oilfield and am now going back to school. You think you can fix all the world's problems, you little snot nosed bastard? Have you ever even had a real job? I have been working since I was 12. I DO know how the world works. My parents never bought anything for me.
People who get annoyed with others in the mosh pit. WTF?! You don't HAVE to be in the pit. If you don't like it then GTFO!

And, last, but very certainly not least: Where have all the men gone?! Okay, I understand wanting to be attractive. But putting gel in your hair, getting fake tans, waxing, not eating carbs, using "negs" to pick up women, and just trying to be pretty in general. Here's a tip: watch a Clint Eastwood movie. Watch a Tommy Lee Jones movie. Watch a Robert Redford movie. Watch the "Trinity" series. Watch a John Wayne movie. Watch a James Dean movie. These are real men. They don't complain, they don't gossip, they treat women with respect, they don't take shit from anyone, they do what needs to be done, they use words before it degrades to fists, but they know how to use their fists. Stoic, strong, intelligent, worldly, confident (NOT cocky), and dangerous. People should always be just a bit scared of you. These are the men I model myself after. Sorry for the rant, but I am sick of Jersey Shore wannabes.

Well, we just got a new puppy and we're having trouble getting her trained to go outside to do her business.

Yeah I know what you mean, I have a cat and I just cant get it to sort its employee portfolio's outside instead of loudly typing away next to me. I mean sheesh.
...
I think you may be talking about a different kind of "business" now I come to think about it.
Charted accountancy probably.

 

[PissOffRoth]

The sixth time my Xbox 360 broke, which also happened to be the fourth time it red-ringed.

I'm beginning to think that people with Chronic Red-ring Disorder are either cursed or really love to beat their Xbox. I've had one Red-ring, and that was just cause I had an early-release 360 and played it way too often. None of my friends get the red-ring either. Are we just a blessed circle?

 

[Macgyvercas]

Anytime the WBC make the news...again.

Seriously, those guys make me facepalm so hard, one of these days, my hand will go right through my head.

The last I checked, the Gurren Lagann soundtrack on Amazon was something among the lines of 70-80+ bucks.

I'd reference that one retarded song, but I'm not sure if doing so will get me banned.

And, again, I have absolutely horrible luck when it comes to used games. I could probably list all the things that have gone wrong with me and used games off the top of my head.

After the zombie gollums at the end of Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, realizing i would have to fight Yeti/Guardians, playing the sequel.

NOT THIS SHIT AGAIN.
