Things You HATE: Volume IV

[Scourge2099]

Your complaint about young people is quite possibly the exact same thing every society has said about its youth since the first civilization came into being. My point is that... well... kids will be kids.

I see him slacking off that's why I'm giving him advice. He's pretty gifted when it comes to math and yet he hardly shows up to class anymore. Pardon me for trying to give advice to a gifted person only for them to scoff.

 

[SuperFerret]

The high and mighty mentality some older gamers have that today's games suck just because they're not as hard as they were in previous generations.

Most of today's games suck because they're not as fun or as accessible they were in previous generations. I don't want three hours of exposition before a ten hour story with some game elements in between. Put me on a brick road with a box in the air 20 yards in front of me and send a goomba walking sideways in my general direction.

 

[Manic]

The Mario games are still like that, Ferret. It's the exact same game it ever was, with a Z axis added.

Why do you care so much? If he's so gifted and in the same class as you, and is younger (which employers have been known to look for), he's your COMPETITION. You should tell him that you're sorry for trying to give him your dumb old advice, and to make it up to him, you bought him 20 six packs of beer.

I know.

I hate it when people type "LOLOLOLOL" to say they're laughing. It's a freaking acronym. You basically just typed "laughing out loud out loud out loud out loud." Adding more L's and O's doesn't make your laugh bigger.

Also, I hate it when people type "lulz." It looks like you're misspelling "lulls," which should be the last thing you're experiecing if you're laughing out loud.

Not the kind of diversity I welcome

Thanks for the info

The LAWL!

Seriously, anger management?

Lulz.

I'm waiting here for someone to say it once again (cause I'm sure it's already said): "I hate sarcasm"

I'm from the old generation of gamers, and feel like telling them to put a sock in it. The PS2>>>>>>>>>>>>the NES in games library, and gameplay

Being expensive sucks, that's for sure

You mean like the case of Prototype? It doesn't give 3 hours prologue from the middle of the story before the actual story begins, but it's an annoying concept

Speaking of hate for gaming, I hate it when gamers complain about games being so repetitive today, especially when they call a lesser repetitive game than things they highly enjoy "repetitive", and more especially if they enjoy going back to play the first Super Mario World on the NES or Sonic the Hedgehog on the Genesis

Ain't that the God's truth ? That's whats wrong with young punks these days.

Hey, now you are talking like old man.Yeah, whatever old man.

The Mass Effect and Elder Scroll series> Mario, Sonic, Streets of Rage, Zelda, etc.

modern fighting games> older fighting games

Modern platformers> jumping in 2D and getting killed all the time

Memory recording > repeating the whole game a million times until getting through with it fully in one run because you ran out of lives

 

[Anubis]

Yeah....thank God for the Konomi code.

 

[E-Man]

Even with the Konami code Contra was still damn near impossible to beat.

 

[Anubis]

Contra, Life Force, Jackal. Great games. Fun as hell to play. Maddening. Me and my brother got into a fight playing Jackal once. I tried to stab him in the junk with and afro pick and he almost set me on fire......Thank God for easier video games I say.

 

[Kane52630]

Super Mario Bros, GTA Vice City, and Uncharted 2. That is all.

Yes!

Too long and boring.

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

You're too long and boring

Me and my brother would always get to the last level and die. That would happen to us on nearly every game we played except for a few of them.

 

[Cosmic]

I hate backseat drivers.

 

[Marx]

I hate these teeth whitening commercials that have people with perfectly white teeth complaining that their teeth need to be even whiter. What the hell do they want them to do? Glow???

When your University registrar's staff is filled with incompetent people and don't count two classes that you've taken, preventing you from actually graduating when you have.
AND not learning about this till a week after graduation.

Wow! Somebody seriously needs to get fired for things like that.

 

[Speedball]

I sent the registrar an email, but i don't expect a response. I'm going in there monday to talk to someone, because this is completely unacceptable. I even talked to my advisor about it months ago when i filled out the graduation application and it was approved.
Both classes I took at a different school, but got transfer credit for it. One class is a different number than the one it requires, but the class required no longer exists, and the class i took is the same exact class with a different number. It's a little bit ridiculous. I was wondering why my name wasn't in the graduation program.
edit- no one sent me an email saying that i didn't meet to requirements or that there was a problem.

 

[Scarecrow_King]

dude, that sucks. Hope you get everything sorted, Speedball.

I hate how my school handled our graduation. They just said "show up at the basketball arena 45 minutes before commencement". they didn't give us any instructions (which admittedly, after 4 years of college, we should've been able to figure it out. but still).

I also hated when some people would cheer for someone who's name was called. I don't mind a bit of a celebration, but when you bring an air horn and blow it so long that you can't hear the next persons name, you deserve to be shot. That person spent ridiculous time and money to have that moment, and they damn well better have their name heard for their achievements.

I love and often use "lulz". If you hate "lulz", you're a goddamn fascist.
