Things that cause you to nerd-rage.

[SarcasminBloom]

Tanking on World of Warcraft. When a hunter pulls a mob and doesn't have the intention of trapping, HOLY SHIT, I lose it.

Unrelated to gaming, I nerd-rage whenever anyone mentions a contrabass clarinet due to my high school band teacher not letting me play it on ONE song even though he promised me I could and instead FLAKED OUT at the LAST MINUTE and gave the ENTIRE CONCERT SET to my STUPID EX BOYFRIEND because HE PLAYED IT THE WHOLE YEAR.

.....FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

[Cazer]

People who have only watched the Prequels and think they're Star Wars pro's, then call you mean names when you outsmart them by naming Expanded Universe characters :[.

 

[LuckyClover95]

When people base too much Pokemon knowledge on the tv show not the game

That makes my blood boil, also people who uses wrong facts about Pokemon.

I'm actually not even a Pokemon pro, I just like the game and when people pretend to be Poke-experts by saying "I've seen like, almost every episode" I'm just like....meeeeh. You no Pokefan.
What's your favorite Pokemon? Just a-wondering.

Like several others in this thread, the term "just a theory". Anything without evidence can at best be a hypothesis.
And what I believe is a corollary, "that is just my/your opinion" to try to put 2 claims on equal footing. Especially when applied to science or to justifying holding a stance that has been proven wrong.

I am not quoting you to prove you wrong (because you are correct), I want to elaborate on what you said because these 2 are pet peeves of my own.

Anything to do with only using 10% of the brain and that using more would give us some sort of powers. It's entirely bullshit.

If my memory serves me, there is a scientific term for having your entire brain be activated at once. It is called having a seizure.

Also, bees wings not being explainable by science. For starters, being completely unexplainable by science doesn't make sense. Secondly, we know how they work, it's just not like how most wings work.

I am pretty sure a good analogy would be to compare their ability to fly to that of a helicoper's.

 

[Frostbyte666]

People who look down on me and call me childish/geeky for watching anime and when I ask do you watch futurama/simpsons/family guy etc, they say yes. I then proceed to call them hypocrits.

Seeing smoke trails in space.
*ahem*
Without an atmosphere to counteract the pressure of the gas released, the smoke would quickly dissipate in all directions, including (unless the ship is under constant acceleration) forwards.

When people say iTouch instead of iPod touch.
In movies and tv shows where somebody pulls the slide back on the pistol during a dramatic scene. THIS DOES NOTHING. Even worse is when they pull back a hammer on a pistol that wouldn't actually have a hammer. Even worse than THAT is when somebody pumps a shotgun for dramatic effect, as this wouldn't do nothing, it would just waste a shell!

 

[Shoqiyqa]

"Engineers with very large brains told us that bumblebees can't fly. Bumblebees, unencumbered by such large brains, continued to fly, blissfully unaware of their inability to do so." - Thought For The Day, Radio 4, a while ago.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

Engineers know exactly how bumblebees fly. I hate it, hate it, when people try and make out that higher intelligence is somehow bad. This is a combination of two bits of extreme stupidity that requires severe *****-slapping. Which lecherous cretin said such idiocy?!

It being Thought For The Day, it was ... someone religious, probably Christian.

People who believe in Ghosts, magic or Miracle Healing, anything like that. For gods sake, there's no such things as ghosts or spirits. I've got a friend who believes DRAGONS exist. Can you believe it? I mean, he PISSES ME OFF SO MUCH!!!

Hearing internet memes being shouted out in real life, and when anonymous makes the news, then how everyone who has heard of 4Chan suddenly becomes an expert on the topic and must "educate" everyone around them.

I went to school with a lad who truly believed that he was a werewolf who transformed at night and everything, he was deadly serious.

Fact: You can't add new character models into console DLC. To do so would be to change the basic game engine

the game engine is separate to player models, skins, animations and pretty much anything related to the model, DLC just adds an extra directory, which the game loads from, the game runs on an engine.

Apologies in advance for not collating this and my previous post.

I know, don't worry. Game engine is the physics and how everything interacts with each other. It's what moves all the stuff you put into it, but I was simplifying it for the average lay-chap. Also, I couldn't quite figure the right word, I was drawing a blank D:

Oh yeah, and as for that dragons/werewolves are real shit, I convinced a friend of mine I was a time lord for a year.

"SONIC GAMES SUCK HERP DERP"

Ok. Let me start here. THEY DON'T SUCK ANYMORE! Sonic Colors was freaking amazing! Sonic got a new voice actor, ROGER CRAIG FREAKING SMITH! The same guy who did CHRIS REDFIELD and EZIO AUDITORE! Sonic Generations will be fucking awesome, as far as I'm concerned. Also, in Sonic Colors, guess what characters there were? Sonic, Tails, and Robotnik. Yeah, only 3 CHARACTERS! So can you PLEASE stop whining about there being too many characters? Seriously, it's getting REALLY ANNOYING!

Yes. This guy

And then they call themselves hardcore gamers...

snipped

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! omg. i am definitely disturbed by that, but the clip made me laugh more than it would piss me off.

OT: i would nerd rage on series, be it games or movies or whatever that ends up deviating from the original path which was decent or even good. mostly on games though.
