Things you are sick of hearing

[wooty]

"Theres a new FPS out soon"
"The games main feature revolves around cover based shooting"

These 2 sentences are starting to grind on me of late

 

[Vampire cat]

I'm tired of hearing all of the "Your mom" jokes/retorts.

Thank you!

Sounds people make that are supposed to be funny... Annoying sounds that makes me want to punch them on the mouth!

 

[Atmos Duality]

"Revolutionary", though to sum it up, I hate all marketing lingo.

"Your mom!" as a joke. It's not funny. It never was funny. Stagnant humor is about the second worst way I can think of to torture another person.

"Changing gears", "Touch base", "Nuke-U-lar" (vs Nu-clear), "Segway/ing "
Silly time wasting memes. How trendy! They can all die in a fire.

 

[Tearopenthelives]

F- Friend, M- ME

F "I'm not getting Reach"
M "Why?"
F "Because it's crap"
M (Summarised) "It looks good the multiplayer adds a great new dynamic to previously bland gameplay"
F "No Halo 3 was the greatest game ever"
M "Why?"
F "Because it is"

Face*palm=Result of idiocy

(Generalised) X is #undesirable, due to it's popularity attitude

 

[Kukakkau]

Stupid questions - "Is that you heading out?" (opening the front door in a jacket and shoes)
"What you doing?" you can see what I'm doing quite clearly!

My escapist favourite - "When will episode 3 come out??" please stop asking!

Girls who ***** about never having a good lasting relationship when they give it out for free on day one and wonder why they always get "asshole guys"

"X console is better than Y console despite your opinion because..."

 

[herpaderphurr]

"The government should make x illegal."

"What's the time?"
"Time you got a watch"

To be fair i find my self saying this sometimes so it's a bit hypocritical me posting it.

Best IRL troll ever.

The Word ****** of X-box Live, at what point do I want to listen to 13 year kids call people who kill them Niggers. Good thing they have the mute option.

Thanks for reminding me.
Little kids calling everyone niggers/nazis

Ah, I saw your avatar and was reminded... why don't little kids ever play TF2?

 

[Je Hones]

"Epic" when not referring to the form of literature or theatre. Also "filth", or any other convoluted way of articulating the extent of said filth, when applied to any Dubstep track.

 

[Seth Smith]

I'm tired of emo quotes.

 

[Dapper Ninja]

I should probably mention that I don't hate Avatar as a movie (I'd describe it as "meh"); I hate how absurdly well-received it was for such an average movie. It made more money than any other movie ever, was critically-acclaimed, was nominated for an academy award for best picture of the year, and caused people to fall into depression because they could never hope to be as perfect as the movie's characters. I'd call it ridiculous, but that doesn't even begin to describe it.

Eh, once anything gets popular, the weirdos start to crawl out of the woodwork. I mean, I liked Avatar, but people who are saying it's the best film of all time clearly don't know what they're talking about. It's a good film if you take it the right way, and it's a fun trip to the cinema if you're in the mood to just be entertained, but it's not the best film ever, it's not the film of the year, and it's not Cameron's best.

I view the film a bit less positively than you, but I agree with you for the most part and I'll accept your opinion. You seem like a pretty cool guy and you're clearly one of the movie's more rational fans.

and the one that makes my mouth foam:

"Why make something great when good sells better?" You don't sound smart or revolutionary any more, you just sound like you don't understand business.

My most hated line of reasoning: if you complain about something that serves business interests, you're an idiot. We all must worship the almighty fucking dollar and all constructs designed to further its dominance - even at the expense of hobbies founded on raw entertainment value.

The only reason people shouldn't repeat the quoted text? It's depressing. That doesn't mean it isn't 100% true.

My most hated line of reasoning: If you defend logic that serves business interests, you're a puppet or a flunky for the man. You don't have to worship it, just don't refuse to understand it

The question is: to whom are you defending it? A person? With a reasonable idea, request, or preference? I think such "idiots" are, without fail, more important than business.

Then again, I'm also a firm believer that business, in general, is a vice tightening around the ballsack of all humanity. Under the unassailable flag of "tightening the leaks", business interests are pretty much strangling all the fun out of life. In fact, if business isn't doing so, it's not behaving correctly by its own fucking admission. It's evolutionary; in the absence of strict, well-meaning constraints, capitalism just runs right over people. It's so far out front, in this country as well as most of the world, that defending it is sort of like cheering for the Yankees outside of New York. It makes you a douche.

See: Activision. Blah blah blah typical anti-business ranter brings up company with the audacity to make money I know, I get it. Same line of reasoning used against bleeding hearts and academics - people with the audacity to care about other people and value fucking intelligence, respectively.

Sorry. I clearly can't have this discussion in any sort of constructive manner. You're right. I'm out.

 

[Billion Backs]

People who suck up to corporations for making shit products.

Like all the Modern Warfare 2 defenders.

An flawed game, with ridiculous plot, very short campaign, and downright bad multiplayer.

Oh, and no dedicated servers on PC. Don't bother porting your generic brown FPS game on PC (even though CoD is somewhat of an originally PC franchise, or so some people say, I wouldn't know.) if you aren't going to offer the same things as everyone else. Nobody gives a fuck about the half-assed 3 hour campaign. Everyone plays FPS games for multiplayer, very rarely there are exceptions with a decent campaign and no multiplayer.

Either provide what's expected, or don't bother at all. Cite some bullshit pirate statistics you've just pulled out of your ass and don't port at all. Although from business point of view, most established franchises will get their assholes sucked dry despite the quality of things they release, fanboys care little about that as long as the right title is slapped on.

Not having dedicated servers on PC is almost like not having controller support on consoles.
-Certain- console players clearly don't get enough of their exclusives and shitty premade gaming systems, they have to stick their noses where they don't belong.

Sort of why I hate to hear it (topic of post)
it's never constructive and it always boils down to two people taking sides on an argument they don't even really want to have. And we both argue WAY more radically than either of us actually believes.

Nah, I actually believe that business logic, unbound, is the scourge of humanity. I've given up arguing as much because we, as a species, are clearly incapable of pumping the brakes - and because the only necessary step on the road to having a disagreement is to open your fucking mouth. There's always someone who will twist reason, even his or her own, just to oppose you, and modern sensibilities insist he or she is given the same outlet and respect.

If we're getting all meta and shit, then ANY kind of logic, unbound, is the scourge of humanity. It's that story "Al Persona." Every master he visits eventually has to be defeated by a new one because every single idea, taken to its logical extreme, is horrifying.

I don't like people who take an anti-business stance just to be anti-business. Business is Economy and Economy is the reason anyone ever has a job or money or food or a family or a future. There is a thing that is the way things ARE and there is a thing that is the way things SHOULD BE, and these two are never the same and the latter is never the same for more than one person at a time.

Utopian arguments are almost never worth having. It's like the windchill thing. Or price before tax. "Don't tell me how things WOULD be if they were PERFECT." that's not useful.

Moderation in all things, of course, no argument there. The point I try to make is this: regardless of what force you believe opposes business, there is little doubt that business is absolutely crushing it. The sensible, middle-of-the-road people, at this point, are the ones trying to prod the beast of capitalism back into its cage. A pro-business stance, today, is akin to sitting on top of the boulder already rolling down the hill.

I can definitely understand exhaustion with regard to the topic, though. Neither side is ever going to "win". People never adjust beforehand on the basis of a few good ideas. It takes bloody revolution, every single time.

Anyways, I'm hardly anti-business. I understand the crucial role it serves. I also believe it is a construct of our design, and it should necessarily serve a majority of people well. When this stops being the case, as is the final if unconscious goal of capitalism, people need to step in and redirect things - aggressively, if necessary.

I'm not so ridiculously naive that I would suggest we relinquish control entirely to the market. Anyone suggesting as much needs to pick up a history book. All that lousy government interference came about for a goddamn reason, ya know?

Enough debate with someone whose worldview is clearly not that far from my own.

On Facebook: "JOIN THIS GROUP TO SEE *insert something about a picture of a celebrity I don't care about here*"
and "OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG FACEBOOK'S GONNA MAKE US PAY SOON OMG JOIN THIS TO MAKE IT STOP!"Even if they were corporate enough to make people pay, Facebook wouldn't care about them joining a group to say they don't like it...

 

[MelasZepheos_v1legacy]

Any time anyone claims to have lost faith in humanity. If you really have, kill yourself, because there is no reason to live.

Apart from that, nothing much. I tend to tune out what a lot of people say to me.
