The one thing you are sick and fucking tired of seeing on the internet.

[ZeLunarian]

Game adverts using sex to sell, makes me ashamed that im thier target audience

No way you could have said that with a straight face xD Look at yo avatar ;P
You most certainly are that target audience~

ot: I find an over abundance of.... complaints. BUT by all means, I'm happy to let people complain. There's just too much of it.

Not complaining or nothin' >.>

Minecraft

Bloody Minecraft although people are finally getting over it finally noticing it isnt as god like as they claimed

 

[Ruwrak]

Can I say Wikileaks?
Tired of reading the 'news' about it. Bragh...


OR! to stay on the bandwagon. People who think that a different opinion is a direct attack on someone personally and make it their (by lack of better word combination) holy crusade to get their justified vengeance. *sigh*

No, you can't say that. Have you got a website?

I make websites on occasions, or well... I improve the design & functionality or play a consultancy role in developing a website. Why?

Any sort of fanboy, be it console or PC. All are gaming platforms and all have their pro's and cons. Now please shut up about em and play the games.

 

[Wintermute_]

People arguing about historical events, with historically inaccurate assertions.

This. I hate this with fervor, cause no matter what you may type, the other guy/s will never believe you.

Also, and I'm not sure if this counts, but the fact that any kind of negative criticism or dislike of a popular subject/thing is met with cries of "Troll!" (I HATE the word troll. Is there irony in that?) or is just discredited because the negative post is deemed just too ridiculous to be listened to.

I for instance didn't like Avatar and have long since started hating pokemon, to name some big ones, and if ever I bring it up, I'm shutdown for trollin.

Facebook. Remove it.

 

[Count Igor]

Mum/femalefamilymember jokes.
Wow. You're trying to insult my mother. You don't know who she is.
They're not funny in the slightest.
So just stop.

Weeaboos and goatse.

That is all.

- Idiots who claim metal is the successor to classical music.
- People who refuse to actually research something before developing an opinion on the matter.
- Furries. Seriously, you are the scum of the Earth.
- Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual or Transexual people who are in your face about it, before you can tell them you don't particularly care.
- People who claim to be completely tolerant, and give everyone a clean slate before judging them. I know you want this to be true, but you aren't this perfect.
- People who aren't even a little proud of where they come from, especially Weeaboos.
- Those that use internet memes yet claim to hate Anonymous, which is where 75% of all memes come from anyway.

I find number two ironic considering the one that follows. Really dude? Calling someone the scum of the earth over something they didn't choose, can't help, and that you don't have to deal with?

Pornography. The internet would be a better place without pornography.

I disagree. The Porn industry invented and perfected paying for things online, without them there would be no Amazon, Steam, PayPal, Ebay, iTunes... anything you pay for online, really. All of these groups studied how the porn industry did it's business (accidental double entendre!) before they started, and copied it.

The Porn industry also pioneered video-streaming technology on the internet, Flash in particular. I think the internet would be a rather shitty place without porn.

 

[Doclector]

People pretending/self diagnosing aspergers/autism.

Self diagnosers I'm a little sympathetic with. I know how hard it can sometimes be to go to a doctor with such things for multiple reasons, but still, you shouldn't say you have it until you know. For one thing, I have aspergers myself, and it's annoying that whenever I mention it slightly several people accuse me of being one of these people, even if I didn't blame it for something.

And far more annoying than that, "you missed the like button". If ever there was a reason to trace someones internet connection and nuke their house, that is it.

 

[Triforceformer]

Title says it all.

For me it's the "There goes my faith in humanity" or "Faith in humanity restored" shit you see in the News Room and stuff. Just because 1 guy is a douche or 1 guy is nice doesn't change the entire fucking world. Now I bet some of you will say "It's just a joke, dude". Well here's the thing, has anyone here honest to God laughed at or enjoyed seeing another one of these fucking comments (Ones with silly pictures not counted due to them not actually creating the content). You know, what a joke is supposed to make you do?

I like hyperbole and all, but come on. Your turn.

i don't like anything you're doing either. Do you think people post anything anywhere because they want to make YOU happy? That their opinions are for YOUR enjoyment? How arrogant and selfish you are. Everybody has the right to post whatever the hell they want, it's not about whether or not YOU enjoy, but rather whether or not they feel like THEY got THEIR point across. These forums aren't for just for YOU. They're for everybody. You don't like what somebody posts? Too goddamn bad.


EDIT: though i suppose, that in turn also applies to me.

No one wins. But who said I wanted them posting to make me happy? They're entitled to show how they think. It's just that "Faith in Humanity Gone/+1" is NOT a funny, original, CLEAR, or clever way to show their opinion on a story. The point of these forums/the News Room is to show what YOU think about the news and the people involved. Not just repeat what some fuck started a coupe of years ago.

What point is gotten across by what's essentially a meme on this forum? That you don't actually care about what happened and just want to post? At least write "That was nice of him" or "That could have gone alot better". But if someone actually writes their opinion after the Faith thing, then I'm sort of OK with it. It's the 1 line ninnies that get me.

 

[Nimcha]

WikiLeaks. I sincerely hope that hype blows over sometime before 2011.

 

[Zechnophobe]

That doesn't make it better though. It might mean the game has a better marketing team, but beyond a certain basic level sales aren't necessarily indicative of quality.

Not necessarily no, but my point is that there are quantitative ways to compare things like this, and if you examined enough of them you could make some claims that are pretty close. to definitive. Obviously it would be complicated to be 100% sure, but consider this extreme: is the classic Atari Game ET worse than Classic Nintendo Game Super Mario Brothers? When you combine the weight of sales, longevity, sequels, public opinion consensus, etc you get a pretty clear picture that one is better than the other.

Now, I'm not saying people can have 'wrong opinions', obviously an opinion in and of itself is rather untouchable. But that doesn't mean we have no means to evaluate the question quantitatively.

I'm thinking this has some delicious irony showing in it.

Alright, there are some cases where the difference is so incredibly dramatic it's rather obvious. But in those cases, it's so obvious that there's no discussion anyway. Die hard ET fans aren't flaming Super Mario Bros. forums, because there aren't really any die hard ET game fans.

The really big flame-wars CoD versus Halo, for example, are hard to discern. They have similar sales and metascores, and although they're in the same genre they have radically different approaches to first person gun-play.

When you provide an opinion and it's a 'troll.' No - that's just my opinion. And when people condone piracy. And many, many other things.

I joined this site so that I could gush about how awesome Okami is with people who understand!
(Waka is AWESOME!!)

Hello, you and I are now best friends.

So basically lazy/stupid ass teenagers? So basically what Anonymous seems to be at this point?
