1) Shenmue "reflex button mashing" - Luckily, you don't have to be one of the three other people besides me who played Shenmue, because by now this has been beaten to death and included in every game. Your character is innocently strolling down a hallway in a cut-scene, or at least what appears to be a cut-scene. Because within mere seconds, something is going to pop up on the screen and scare you half to death, or at least it would if this was the first time it had been done. In order to avoid death, you must mash random buttons that appear on the screen, and to add more frustration if you die and try it again, they won't be the same buttons! Yay! 2) Little kids online - Okay, either way I'm probably going to come off as a douche in this one, but I can't argue that it's not an accurate representation of myself anyway, so whatever. I don't hate all young children, and it would take a lot to make me go out of my way to show disdain for you. When I'm playing an online game, I'm usually the most reserved, quiet, helpful member of the team. I don't care what your gamertag is, how high/low your gamerscore is, or what online rank you are in the game. I just like to be positive, and help everyone have a good time, because that's why people play online in the first place. But when I get killed, my corpse is subsequently teabagged/beat, and I hear the voice of what, at the most can be a twelve year old youth say something to the extent of "get raped bitch" it fills me with the kind of rage only reserved for news of infidelity. Most of the time I abandon any and all strategy I previously possessed and go out of my way to hunt down and get revenge on whoever it was that killed me. It's something I can't provide a logical explanation for other than when I was that young if my parents let me play an M-rated game, I wouldn't have the gall to take the gift and go around cussing out complete strangers online. Oh well, I guess common courtesy is a dying form of art. 3) Escort missions - 'Nuff said. 4) Revenge of the ****ty autosave feature - I think this one mostly happened back in the PS2 era, specifically I recall it biting me in the ass in Dark Cloud. Basically you don't get to choose when you want to save, the game takes care of it. Fine, sounds good on paper. But somehow the only time it seems to do so is when it doesn't benefit you in any way. For example, I finally got my hands on a 'one time only' sword. Well by some grace of God it broke, and whattya know sure enough it decides to Autosave me into oblivion. Or when you don't have any ammo, very little health, and have been backed into a dungeon wall by enemies. You don't have any magic powder, feathers, mythical creatures, or human/bird abortions (Twilight Princess) to revert you to the start of the dungeon, but what you do have is a borderline Nazi AI system that's about to blitzkrieg you with an Autosave. Good times. I know what your saying man, with the Shenmue bit. On Shenmue 2 towards the end when you have to fight Dou Niu hes extremley annoying to beat, but finally you defeat him and half a dozen stupidly annoying QTE's pop up (QTE = Quick Time Event) But if you lose you have to do the whole fight AGAIN! So yeh thats what grinds my gears. Oh and on GH 1 and 2 after beating every difficulty and buying everything i go on the game one day to have it say "File save corrupt" and having to do it all again!

I always use "Man" but never feel the need to use it in public.

Lol officialy ownt. by Jack's April Fools Pranks.
And i fail to see how my comment was abusive? It was a simple question which got owned...
And if you mean the "No f'ing life" part, it was clearly not aimed to you. It was aimed to the people who have actually reached the rank. Sorry for the misunderstanding buddy.

I would go see Disturbed then walk out. The others annoy the living hell out of me.

I brought a Megatron one today. It goes very well with the elite because the background is black.
