Yep.

- People who write their user names in Japanese, not all of us are weeaboos and half of us have no idea what to call you.
- Actually, weeaboos in general.
- The fact that it costs money to play with my friends on the 360 despite the fact that online play has been free on EVERY OTHER CONSOLE THAT EVER FEATURED IT.
- When games pad themselves with random and un-fun segments all for the sake of expanding game length. Like the part in Crisis Core when you spend what feels like hours running around in circles talking to NPCs because some kid jacked your wallet.
- When companies dumb down RPGs so the Madden crowd can figure how how to play them *coughmasseffect2cough.*
- Slow fans on really hot days, they don't generate cool air, they move the hot air around.
- Band wagon fans. It really says something about you if you're only willing to get into something along as its popular then jump ship once the hype has died down.
- People who feel to need to tell how bad of a person I am for criticizing old games for aging poorly.
- Speaking of aging poorly, I really don't like Avatar. Assuming that society isn't nearly as stupid as it is today people watching for the first time fifteen years from now will probably think that it aged poorly BECAUSE THE MOVIE RELIES ENTIRELY OFF OF VISUAL EFFECTS.
- The console wars as a whole. Why can't people just accept that each console has its own strengths and weaknesses but are all awesome in their own way?
- People who still insist that the PS3 has no games. Unless you've been living under a rock for the past three or four years or you're a blindly loyal Xbox fanboy you'll know that the PS3 has a ton of solid and well-received exclusives.
- Rap. No, really, I don't think I could ever put into words how much I don't like rap.
- SEGA's ****ty management. All of their franchises have potential to be amazing but they seem to be more content to silently release their in-house titles without trying to get anyone interested.
- TCG fans and the fact that they're so busy masturbating to MTG that they won't even acknowledge that any other TCG exists.

I couldn't agree with you any more.

But I love rap. Well, good rap. Most **** on the radio isn't even rap, it's a guy with no ****ing skill talking at a mic about how reckless he is with his money.

I'm sure there's some rap out there I'll like, but most of the mainstream stuff boils down to people rhyming into a mic about shallow nonsense like having a lot of money they don't deserve and hookers.

Kind of like how most modern mainstream metal is basically ANGST ANGST ANGST ANGST EMO EMO EMO LONG HIGH PITCH SCREAMS EMO EMO ANGST AGNST.

One thing you should totally have is this bull**** where you have to unlock **** to use in mp games, like, the entire roster should be available from the start, and the entire collection of guns n **** should be at my disposal the instant I start playing.

But oh well, because most 'hardcore' gamers are really just casual ***s that think playing games that allow for skill to decide the winner makes them not casual.

Bah, new was from and older thing I typed, then edited over like hell and forgot to get rid of that.

That being said, define forever, I haven't been exactly keeping of track of when bull**** in multiplayer became 'standard'.

Somethings that bugs me:

-When people type or talk italian they are cool and educated, when they type or talk japanese are weaboos... WTF. I am not an "Otaku" or something like that but the whole thing is stupid.

-Call of Duty and Battlefield.

-Gel( the one that's meant for hair)

-Avatar the movie.

-Not having my own space

-Having to explain something that I don't want/feel like it.

-too much questions, its SOO ****ING annoying.

-The fact that I bought a PS3... then 2 weeks later my Laptop DIED. I could have used the money for a new laptop.

nah, actually weeaboos just pretend they know japanese, and flaunt their awesome vocabulary of 5 words wherever they go.
NANI!? BAKA! KAWAII! DESU! Oniichan!

Meanwhile people who can actually speak Japanese visit the country often usually for the sake of business or to visit family. Not because they like their cartoons.

Agreed. Finalark, look up Dan Le Sac vs Scroobius Pip or Dub FX. Those guys conpletely changed my opinion about rap.

Also, what other TCG's are you talking about in your last point, Finalark? MTG is the only one I can think of that has a large competitive scene besides Yu-Gi-Oh (which I hate for a plethora of reasons).

I'll be sure to check that out.

Honestly, at the time I was thinking about how about 90% of the Tucson players I know won't give any other game a chance and say that EVERY tcg is an MTG rip off. I think the one that stick out in my mind to the most was Magi-Nation, a rather obscure but surprisingly original and incredibly fun game that had a ton of potential. It died after a year or two basically for not being MTG.

Magi-Nation seemed fun, but I never played. Honestly, with MTG, my wallet can't fund two games. XD
It was, if you can find someone else who is interested it's worth making some proxy decks.

But yeah, MTG is cardboard crack, half the time I just don't have the cash to keep up with my friends.

Definitely. My decks are nice budget decks, but since I don't have a job and am still in high school, I'll probably never be a competitive standard player. I can still get a decent amount per month, though.

My legacy burn deck, though, was sub-30 and *****. It needs some more expensive cards like Chain Lightning to be truly "complete," but it's still amazing. :3

I also just built a nice Sunburst deck and a good monoblack with 3 Lilianas that I traded stuff that I didn't need for. They're both good, and I'm working on Jund now.

I'm basically in the same position as you. I usually get new cards at prereleases then don't bother to go buy packs or anything until the next one.

You're my hero. As in, I could never put into words how much I love Sunburst.

Haha, yeah Fina, I love Sunburst too. It was literally my first deck: a friend sold me his old cards (best $15 ever) when I started right before Alara, and it included most of a sunburst theme deck. I just need more energy chambers, then I'll be pretty much good.

I also got a Divining Top in that mix of old cards. :3

Funny thing is that Sunburst was actually my first deck, I bought it right when the Mirrodin block was ending and it was awesome.

You know what really grinds my gears?


When there's food in your refrigerator that's already been opened. I mean, yeah, there's probably nothing wrong with it, but what if there is? So you put it back thinking you'll eat it later when you've nerved up a little. But then you come back to it later and think, "Man, I didn't eat that then, and it's been even MORE time since then. It might be bad." Then you repeat the whole process until it's actually bad and you get pissed because that food you wanted is bad and you're hungry, so you go out and buy more food that will inevitably go bad and go through the cycle.

That's what grinds my gears.

Oh yeah, and weeaboos.
****ing weeaboos.
