As big a fan as I am of ZP, his fanboys are doing their best to taint the experience for me, mostly by having the biggest persecution complex this side of right-wing pseudo-Christian bigots. In the ZP:SSBB thread, the people who agreed with Yahtzee outnumbered the people who disagreed with him by a good 3:1 margin, and yet they were STILL complaining of persecution by "those rabid Nintendo fanboys."
For that matter, I don't mind people not liking the Wii. I love it, but to each their own. However, when the only reason someone gives for not liking it is "Nintendo sold out to the casual gamer," THEN I have a problem.
As for what gets my goat in video games, let's talk about the Xbox 360. The Xbox 360 is the first, and so far the only, console on the market that I absolutely HATE, I hate it with a passion. I have been kicking myself for getting one, largely because it needed repairs TWICE in the first six months since I got it (and after the first time I got it, I treated it like fucking royalty and it still bricked after a month). There are other things I can complain about, like how Microsoft wasn't willing to wait another few months for the 1080 tech to be refined so they can't fit bigger games on the damn disks, but I'll stop now and move on to things not related to gaming.

On the matter of goats: Mint. I don't like mint, and it's bloody everywhere. My dentist has a special note to remind her I don't like mint, so she'll give me berry fluoride or whatever, but then at the end she gives me mint floss and toothpaste! I've managed to find one, count 'em one, toothpaste that doesn't taste like mint. Cinnamon Burst? Mint. Citrus Breeze? Mint. *shakes fist at sky*

Bah! Mint is another thing that can go away. Mint chewing gum, polo's and tic-tac's really take my goat abroad. I'm probably starting to sound like everything gets on my nerves now...
Finally, someone else besides me who can't stand mint! I thought I was alone on the fucking planet! Why can't they make a half-decent toothpaste that doesn't taste like it?
At least the tangerine Altoids are half-decent.
