Oh goodie! A b****ing thread! Yay! Hmm, where to start...
Online multiplayer: When you're playing with your friends it's ok, but I don't know how so many people can handle playing with strangers. I can play games like Guitar Hero because your opponent has no influence on your actions, they can't talk to you, and if they're cheating it's no skin off my back - I can leave and find another opponent. The only thing that annoys me is people that quit because they're losing (which is most of the time, since I'm so 1337). Anyway, I digress. Other people on the internet are assholes. Period. No qualifiers necessary - if you are on the internet, and you are not me, you are an asshole. I'm not going to play a game where I'm forced to put up with assholes, and I can't understand how so many people do... oh right, because they're the ones being assholes.
Poor orthography (yes, it's totally popular): Learn the difference between their, there, and they're, and between your and you're (it's and its is slightly more bearable). Use punctuation, and use it where appropriate. Make also ur grammar gud.
As a special case, I can't stand people that say "I could care less". The saying is "I
couldn't care less", as in "my care for this subject is as low as it could possibly be, and
couldn't be any lower". Saying "I could care less" implies some degree of care, since it's possible to care less than you currently do.
My Little Pony: It's good, but it's not THAT good.
Product Placement Anime: I'm looking at
you, Beyblades!
Realistic Military FPSs: E.g. Call of Duty, Battlefield, Medal of Honor, etc. I guess I'm just not into hyper-realism when it comes to shooters. I'm more of an arcade guy, which is why I don't mind Halo.
Real Time Strategy games: Just no. Doesn't interest me.
Apple: Steve Jobs =/= God. Apple products are deficient
by design so that they can sell you the "new and improved" version six months later. Features are
deliberately withheld so that they can be implemented in future releases and extend the product's shelf lifetime. From a business perspective it's ingenious. From a consumer perspective it's bulls***. It's like charging full price for an expansion pack, but Apple fanboys/girls eat it up for breakfast... because they're stupid like that.
... I'm sure I could write more, but that's enough b****ing for now
