Little things that annoy the hell out of you

[Obiwanshinobi]

Similarly, this trend in UK documentaries of subtitling anybody who happens to be speaking with a broad regional accent needs to fuck off and die up a tramp's urethra. It betrays a total contempt for both the viewer and the person being interviewed. We can deal with fucking accents, y'know?

TV is not only for native speakers you know. You should be glad that some people in the UK watch BBC rather than Al Jazeera.

Haha, exactly. I'm not talking about subtitling some mad Glaswegian homeless guy*, or something like that, Obi. You see it being used for people who speak perfectly clearly these days.

*Although I've never had a problem understanding Glesga jakeys, either. Maybe I'm just good at this...

I need those subtitles when it comes to dealing with the thickest of British or Australian accents. I once heard someone say "Exeter" like "Exedore", and the first thing that came to mind was Breetai's assistant from Robotech.

[Obiwanshinobi]

Weird thing is, I can't find ANY example of it on YouTube, but the way Moondoggie of Eureka Seven speaks (apparently it's Kumamoto accent) reminds me of Scottish English. A bit like Polish resembles Portugese phonetically to some ears.
Gosh, utter lack of it on YouTube is mistyfying. It was like "ore no reefboardo koko reef rer da ra" or something along those lines.

[Jockel]

Man I already feel insulted when interview-dubs try to imitate the voice of the person speaking.

Oh this pisses me off, too! Then again, plenty of people are total retards and can't even understand the slightest accent that's different from their own.

For something else that annoys me, and this could have already been mentioned before, but I hate environmental packaging for CDs! Do they just assume I'll toss their music in the trash soon afterwards? They accumulate the slightest amount of damange so easily and they look like crap on my CD shelf. I hate it.

Ha, it's been ages since I last saw that, thanks for digging it up.

Yeah, English is not my first language, so I kinda need a few subtitles here and there to understand heavy accents and some slang (i.e., like Cockney and some Irish and Australian accents). I think those accents are cool, but some of the words really get past me.

[Stormwatch]

When they use rhyming slang, you need a translation even if you understand the words.

When i'm at a video game shop. "Would you like a rewards card" "Would you like to sign up for this"

Have a look at the recording and you will see how many times his hitbox moves right through bullets.

You can't blame the employees entirely, though: at least at Gamestop, each store has to fight all the others in the area for extra hours and other perks, and who gets what is largely determined by how many subscriptions.reserves/etc. you nail down. If you're not willing to be a major pain in the neck, managers will be under pressure to ditch you and find someone who is.

When I'm at a video game shop, the employees go all like 'Why do you need Grandia 2, everybody's buying new GTA now!!!'

[Blackbird]

I don't mind "reward cards" so much as I do useless ones. A reward card is pointless if you only get 2 cents off every hundred you spend. Big whoop. However, if your "reward card membership" sends you coupons for 30 or 40% off a product you were looking to buy... then you're talking.

Haha i've seen videos where they claim "Metal Slug 3 complete on 1 credit" etc. but when they get to the boss it seems as if they changed the difficulty or created a smaller hit box

[Specineff]

^^^ Feel you there, man.

I remember someone having a quote about using Superplays to improve their game was like being the Ashlee Simpson of shmups. By the same token, people who make Tool-assisted game runs are the equivalent of Milli Vanilli, IMHO. (Yes, I despise Tool-assisted runs. Maybe the "tool" doesn't refer to the functions the emulator provides... )

[ChainsawGuitarSP]

Overly talkative or generally unobservant people who try striking up a conversation with you while you're preoccupied with eating or drinking. Gets me every fucking time.

[xris]

Creepy people on facebook.. Really, it's a disaster most of the time, if something interesting comes up it gets clogged up with gibberish. Or, something gets all creepy sex-time out of the blue.. Yuck. I guess that's what I get for going through my freind request limbo pile and letting a couple randoms in..

[neorichieb1971]

The news.

Lots of shite about how banks and stock market are crashing. Countries coming to their knees and football players whining about little shit in life when they make £100k a week in wages.

[Skykid]

Those old video game boxes (Famicom and Mark III especially) where the opening lip is designed so it's a total battle to open the damn thing without creasing the card in the middle.

Yeah, he's an idiot. I PM'd him once about using cheat in Rygar, but he said that I was wrong. For anyone who's spent as much time as I have with that game it's crystal clear, but in some places it should be obvious to anyone.

[Skykid]

Oh my god, like, spoiled teenage daddy's girls who like to be seen with Hollister shopping bags, like, that talk a load of, like, total shit, like, with their friends, like, within earshot, like, bitching about other girls, like, who aren't, like, there, and feel the need to insert 'like', between like, every like, fucking word.

Where's an uzi when you need one?

Haha, this, so much... except with more Louis Vuitton purses and loud phones!

The way my computer sometimes randomly slows down while playing MAME, even though MAME is set to high priority and should only use "half" of a dual core CPU... maybe I'm missing something on how computers work, but how hard can it be to have a giant "do not disturb this program" sign

Hospital visits, what with the omnipresent possibility of getting infected with MRSA. I just went to the hospital ER recently, and I'm hoping I don't come down with anything that'll interfere with STGT.

Only watched the Galuda video you linked but he dies on the last pattern. Never saw his hitbox get clearly touched. Clearly savestating but he admits that.

edit: also, back on topic, people who post recordings using save states but don't say so in the video descriptions.

One thing that makes me literally facepalm when I see it is the phrase "fake difficulty". Fuck that stupid phrase and anyone who uses it.

[Icarus]

I work for the retail arm of O2, and I see my fair share of idiots. Probably the most annoying kind are the trampy chavs that look like they couldn't afford a clean pair of underpants, yet swagger into the store and say - in a ridiculously loud voice and stupid chavvy accent - to the nearest advisor, "here! I want to try for an iPhone 4!". Whenever I hear these people say the words "I want to try…" I always subconsciously replace and inject words into the sentence until it resembles something close to the sentence "I know I'm going to fail the credit check, but I want to waste fifteen minutes of your life anyway, getting on your nerves, and stinking the store out with my filthy hygiene in the process". GTFO.

[Siren2011]

I've probably already said this, but it's so fucking annoying it deserves at least a couple more mentions. I'd like to personally castrate everyone from the internet who pulls the "U mad" card every time you get remotely negative about something (In some cases, the person is not even being negative!). It's as obnoxious as it is misguided. Just because only one guy in the room is saying "game X sucks for these irrefutable reasons," does not mean that the person is "mad." At best, they could just be irritated, like I am now. "U mad" is a cheap and smarmy meme for losers who lack any wit, charisma, conversational skills, and profundity to appear as if they're smarter than the person who stirred up controversy.

You just know someone will quote this like I just did and add a .jpg or the words you describe in about 10 minutes, right?
