Irritating Things

Sooooo many things irritate me, but one particular thing has just sprung to mind - games that let you chose your play style. I'm talking about those such as Deus Ex: Human Revolution and Dishonored. Now in these games you can chose whether you want to go in all guns blazing, take a stealthy approach to killing enemies, or just avoid killing enemies at all. However, the majority of trophies/achievements for these games come from completing the game without being spotted, and without killing anyone who wasn't a target. They're practically telling you how to play the game via the trophies!2013-07-16 09:46:00

Yes you shall be our leader ALL HAIL THE SUPREME PEANUT OVERLORD.


Anyway... What irritates me? Each and every one of you :kz:

Well never mind then.... I'm sorry please don't send the peanuts

In all seriousness I am irritated by people, and by people i mean friends, who are trying to convince me to get an Xbox One. These same people are also always saying that I never make my own decisions. . People who make fun of something that they have never once played/went to or done before.

I'll think of others.

I hate getting infractions now, but the moderation team makes good points. What I learned that a long time ago on this site, the moderation system was a bad one because they weren't as strict as normal moderators (even if some users got banned). Now they have changed.

What irritates me? The word "apparently". I hate it when people say that word, ESPECIALLY when they say it more than once in a paragraph or in a sentence as it's their turn in a conversation. One time, I got mad when my sister said that three times during her turn, and I was scolded at for criticizing. Whatever. I am still annoyed by that word, but people use it a lot.

Windows 8, the design of iOS7, the fact that apple's only good device is there iPod touch/ iPhone which never actually changes except from in size, the Fact that Java always apparently needs an update, the fact I am a women repellent and yeah- Oh and the fact that NASA wont take any good ideas and start planning our Mars missions:
But trailing from that what also irritates me is the level of intelligence on the internet- I mean here Common sense is a rarity, I mean an age limit on the internet wouldn't be a bad idea, or an IQ test. What irritates me more than these?
Well society and "Warfare"- No I am not against war, not saying I am for it either, I mean the methods used by our troops, but not even our troops I mean the amount of technological advancement, yes I realise they allow people on the line to have a higher survival rate but where do me move on to next? Complete unmanned warfare? That doesnt seem right to me, and has its levels of complications as well. Where do we advance to next? Nuclear devices that will destroy our world? It seems so. World War one was the last proper war that was Man VS Man in a sort of sense, World War 2, we had advanced a lot, although Britain was too scared to use the advancements upon Germany (For example if we dropped the atomic bomb on Germany and it didnt work- a dud- then they could use that technology back on us).
These are more serious than what I have seen anyone else put but it literally irritates me, just like the fact that we are over populated, and there is no humane way to deal with it unless NASA gets of its bum and does something about our Moon colony and Mars colonies, I guess I am more well suited to the lifestyle of 1900's rather than the 2000's... Also our generation irritates me -.-

It's not infractions that bother me, I haven't had any for years and looking down my list I'd say most of them are justified. No point arguing with the ones that aren't now anyway. It's not like any of those mods are still around. But as much as I like the current moderators as people I really don't understand what they're doing. Constantly moving and deleting threads and posts that shouldn't be moved and leaving others in the wrong place. Deleting threads without warning or explanation and sometimes for no real reason. Completely ignoring people when they point out the mods' mistakes and joking about it. Going crazy whenever someone complains about something and saying "you should report or PM instead!" and then ignoring those messages too. Removing harmless stuff that doesn't break any rules and not doing anything about threads and posts that could genuinely cause offence or break the rules.

It wouldn't surprise me if this post was deleted because these mods do not respond well to criticism.

Sorry if I misunderstood you. But then again, mods were always the ones people hated on the message boards of the internet. I don't blame the mods wherever I go. I blame some of the rules that are strict.

What else irritates me? The government of the US has gone corrupt and they are making America a very unsafe place for conservatives. Not only it irritates me that the liberals are doing this, but it angers me.

We don't respond to Pm's or criticism? You hopefully know at least me much better than that.

I don't believe you have ever sent me a pm to be honest. I don't mind criticism or questioning why I might do something, but like now it somewhat derails the thread. However since you are airing it out I might as well respond. I think you did report one thing that I agree that was not cool, but the others didn't feel it so bad since it was about someone in the public eye and not a member or LBB player.

The rest of your claims are too numerous to attempt, especially while on my iPhone. However, we try to follow the rules and organize the site as laid out and advised by Taffey our Admin. Rather than get frustrated at us, just ask! If you ever have a question or wish to discuss this further, you are always welcome to ask me via a pm or visitors message.

...and to be back on topic since responding to an irritation is off topic, I hate when folks park way too close. I also dislike when fast food servers are laughing and carrying on rather than paying attention to my food order and then screw it up and make it anything except fast. I also get irritated by slow drivers and others that cut you off or don't seem to be aware of what they are doing.

Delayed/cancelled public transport irritates me, as well as overcrowded public transport. On one of my trains going home from work, peak time - packed every time! Problem is that they only have 2 carriages, and don't have the sense to add one more. You may or may not know that we're going through a bit of a heat wave in the UK at the moment, which makes it even worse! Funny thing is that later trains at quieter times have more carriages!!

Shaving irritates me..... literally! I think my skin is too darn sensitive, especially on my neck. To make matters worse I get really OCD about shaving, I need to make sure there's not a single bit of stubble to be found or else it'll annoy the hell out of me. I tend to cut myself a lot when shaving even though I've been shabing for over 10 years!

[Quick point in reference to CogMonkey's post - I too have had posts deleted without explanation. I think all that's needed is for the mod/admin who deleted it to send the member a quick PM explaining why.]

Tailgaters are the worst. You don't know who's in the car in front, it could be someone with their kid or nan or whatever and it's basically like waving a weapon around them. It should be legal to use proportionate force and point a gun out your window at them until they back off.

Even going well over 40 in a 30 zone you still get people who come flying up behind you and sit on your ***, so doesn't matter how fast you drive, they're just *****.

I had my driving classes recently, everyone tailgates/drives around you on the road.

That wasn't especially friendly for someone that simply asked a question, which quite ironically is what irritates me as I then have to remind people to play nice. Even if we all know what it is it might be nice to elaborate on what you mean.

Oh..and everyone please remember to play nice. .

When you go to try and let a fly out by opening the window and then he invites his friends over for a party.

Or when you open the window a tiny bit, a fly gets in, you open the window more, the fly can't find the exits and continually bounces into the glass! Even worse when you substitute 'wasp' for 'fly'! I'm terrified to go near wasps. Sometimes I'll have to leave the room when one gets in.

Once a wasp got in just as I was about to play skyrim. I sat in fear for hours but I was also mad as I wanted to play skyrim.

When you're having an interview with the president over baloney sandwiches in the library or something and everybody decides it'd be a grand idea to SHHHSHSHUUUSHHH you into silence even though they'd just caused a disturbance ten times louder. It's like trying to put out a fire with a flamethrower.
Oh gee thanks, the silence would've been broken if you hadn't drowned out the noise I was making with your sea of hertz and saliva. You sound like a choir of snakes on a skillet.

I'm not bad with spiders, but hate bees/wasps. Bees aren't too bad I suppose, but wasps are nasty sonofasacks! I don't like buzzing insects in general. I think partly because the buzzing annoys me and makes me jump when they zoom right past you ear, but also because I associate the noise with bees and wasps.

I used to be terrified of bees/wasps, but with time I learned to let the bees be. Wasps still are some mean sons.

Woah woah wah

Your right in a way, most of the indie games coming out on PS4 that we know of look very capable of being phone games. However, I believe as the PS4 ages, more advanced indie games will arrive that are very much incapable of being on mobile platforms.

There's already one or a few indie game right now that simply cannot be handled by phones.

Primal Carnage, for one:

Because good games don't necessarily require a "high powered game system", and good games should be available on all platforms.


Oh Oh, here's a good one:

-The fact that LBP2 runs at 30fps, yet there's no vsync (the process of delivering frames in sync with the refresh rate of your monitor/tv).



( the irritating thing starts when you try to record gameplay with an easycap http://product-images.highwire.com/842337/1116903.jpg
and then you suddenly realize you have interlacing http://www.videonet.webspace.virginmedia.com/images/i_in1.jpg
problems, even though the game only runs at 30fps.

EDIT: : Sorry MM, my mistake. Your game is vsync-ed, however my capture card wasn't... *facepalm*

Same thing when you're at a zebra crossing, and you press the button, then soon after, while you're waiting there, someone comes along and presses the button too. As if you didn't think about doing it, since you're already there.

Do they honestly think I just like to hang out at the crossing , watching cars go by?!

Wait, does pressing the button again cancel the last press or something? Because around here is lock-and-load on the first press.

No, but it's just stupid. I mean fair enough if they're pressed at roughly the same time, but when there is a notable amount of time after it has first been pressed and the "Stopping" sign is already lit up (if there is one), it's just pointless to press it again.

The people who write wiki articles are humans too...

What's the difference?
Me: write text on computer and post it online for someone to read.
Wiki Editor: write text on computer and post it online for someone to read.

If there's any difference, then, information handed by me is.... fresher?
