Little things that annoy the hell out of you

[Formless God]

"LMAO, primarily single player games can't be challenging" or "it's just memorisation LOLOL"

These are pretty much spot on. Also "none of those have as tight execution".
This scarily reminds me the average 2hu fans who will shit on everything despite having experience with only one type of game.

From my experience in the ftg community, and being an ftg player myself, I haven't seen any Shit talking on STG. If anything there is respect.

That's good to know. I didn't see much animosity during offline events either, but people tend to be more honest online.

Going to some social event and the first thing anyone does is ask "what do you do" or other interrogation. Usually theyre very proud of their lives too. great, a maxed out self consciousness meter is the perfect way to begin an evening, thanks!

Just make something up.

Just reply something that will throw them off.

I remember once my GF brought me to a very posh dinner with some disgusting upper-class 25-30ers; when the most arrogant and annoying of them all (he had to be the one) asked me what I was doing with my life, I replied with a straight face I was a communist militant.

That moment was just perfect.

What if you'd handed him this:

[President_Obama]

Anyone under 35 and Nick Grimshaw.

[PAPER/ARTILLERY]

Nick Grimshaw.

Yes yes and yes. Fuck Nick Grimshaw, fuck his haircut, fuck T4 for bringing this shower of twats to the world's attention and making them famous.

You remind me of this: http://www.ebaumsworld.com/pictures/view/84074137/

I want Bill Margold's job and the business card that comes with it.

[President_Obama]

Nick Grimshaw.

Yes yes and yes. Fuck Nick Grimshaw, fuck his haircut, fuck T4 for bringing this shower of twats to the world's attention and making them famous.

Imagine where we'll be culturally in 10 years. I remember watching Eurotrash thinking "thank fuck our shite isn't as bad as theirs" and now we have Celebrity Juice with 'adults' drawing cocks on each others foreheads.

Ew. Please don't.

Meh, that one or another, it doesn't matter when you're bored and looking for webshit.

What do you do? (How much do you earn)?
This is such a fucking annoying question,plus,people can also use it as some kind of gauge as to whether or not you'll be interesting enough to carry on talking to.

[President_Obama]

Make something up. They deserve trolling.

If it makes you feel better, asking such question is an indicator that the circle of people involved are low class, or at least aren't very high in status. The correct way to break the ice is to ask "what do you do for fun". Not everyone has to or needs to work.

Chaika.

[Xyga]

If it's about fun then 'I rape dead animals' would be the perfect socially-acceptable answer.

[50Hz]

'I rape dead baby animals'

Step up Senpai.

Perhaps they are making small talk, and just trying to break the ice. But really it would depend on context and tone.

Agree with the latter. Being subject to common weather, liking some genre of music, and having some sort of profession are the three things just about everyone has in common. Better than asking, "So what's your stance on abortion?" anyway.

It wouldn't be so bad if I felt remotely positive about my life, occupation or lack of ambition.
Unfortunately this isn't the case, and my elusive answers apparently made me come across as a prick.

Fuck breaking the Ice, I'm happy to socialise without running a background check on whoever I'm talking to..

Deflect questions with "got any skins?"

Slow drivers in the left lane who don't change lanes when a faster vehicle is approaching and/or behind them.

[brentsg]

Totally this.. I drove a couple thousand miles recently and these people are everywhere!

[Ed Oscuro]

Slow drivers in the left lane who don't change lanes when a faster vehicle is approaching and/or behind them.

Also, people trying to push drivers in the left lane down the road, when said drivers are already going 80 miles per hour and overtaking people in the other lane.

I get a kick out of passing people...then seeing them again like 10-20 minutes later, and so on, because they just gotta catch up. Bonus points if there's a steel centipede going down the road like this. A2M

I was walking back to my room with a snack with my dog following me as usual when all of a sudden, out of nowhere, he lets out a loud bark for no reason, scaring the crap out of me. Now, this wouldn't have bothered me as much if it weren't for the fact that I re-pulled the back muscle that had just begun to heal in the process. Not only did I re-pull it, it's worse than before!

edit: so I sneezed a couple times and it hurts like hell. fuck, I'm not sure I can even get out of this damned chair. I really screwed myself over here.

[Skykid]

Osmans's last stage.

The fuck up ever. A cool and calculated game until this point, suddenly undermined by a finale that knows no finesse. Difficulty created entirely haphazardly by arranging previous bosses into unfortunate angles. I'm very disappointed Mitchell couldn't muster anything more creative and less exasperating.

Until this point I was willing to entertain argument that Osman was the superior game, but no, it doesn't better Strider because it doesn't hold its form until the end.

Strider is a complete package, despite being easier. Osman wastes its evolution severely at the most critical point.

I mean, I get the feeling, and maybe it's partially a matter of getting older and more comfortable with yourself, but basically everybody reaches that moment of "life isn't what I expected." I used to lie through my ass on first, second and third dates. But hey, no one's life is easy (though, socially, everyone pretends otherwise), and fuck them if they judge you.

That being said, I don't plan on attending class reunions anytime soon for the same sort of self-consciousness. I'm content with where I am coz I played my hand the best I could. That's all that anyone can do. Just don't want to endure a series of concernedly-arched eyebrows followed by mock interest when the words 'grocery store' come up. Grow a thicker skin? Maybe. Just don't feel like it.

Hrm... this post took an unexpected turn...
