    I hate save points before cut scenes. Save point ->5 minute cut scene -> Boss Battle -> Die ->restore ->5 minuet cut scene -> repeat.

    Balz.

    I hate smartasses that answer "how are you doing today?" with "well"
     
  3. #43 bfun, Aug 7, 2011
    How is that a smart ass remark?

    Cuz stoopid amerikans are post to say "good".
     
  5. #45 Armadeadn, Aug 7, 2011
    But if you are doing "well" why would it be a smartass remark?
     
  6. #46 knowname, Aug 7, 2011
    you all understand what a smartass is right?? yeah nobody likes 'em why can't they just be normal instead of smartasses.

    What if they're quite well?
     
  8. #48 knowname, Aug 7, 2011
    only insane ppl are 'well' it's just not normal!
     
  9. #49 Armadeadn, Aug 8, 2011
    Actually by definition insane people are 'not well'. I'd kind of understand your gripe if it was with people saying they're 'terribly well'. That shit makes no sense.

  12. #52 supersonic, Aug 8, 2011
    HAHAHAHA! I'm going to say that to people. I'm doing terribly well, yourself?

    Some just asked me that question and I responded with "alright". I should have said horribly well.

    1. "What did you make of that film?"

    2. "It was frightfully entertaining."

    I hate dick heads, and the world is full of them.

    Well the definitions of those words mean that those sentences indeed make sense; however their modern usage is slightly different and probably what you all think their proper definitons are. And using them the sentences are not logical. Though as an example, aweful means that you were full of awe, and hence something that is aweful may very well be quite enjoyable, which is far and away from the modern terminology.

    People who rate things 10 out of 10 or 100 out of 100.

    I can understand you might like a game a lot and you enjoy playing it immensely but to give something a 10 out of 10 score is to say it's perfect. Take the Deus Ex advert that's playing on every damn Machinima video these days (as if we didn't see enough of that game with the 5000 trailers they released). The video ends with a magazine or web site giving it 10 out of 10. With a score like that they're saying it's a perfect game, that it could not possibly have been made any better, which we all know is wrong. Sure it may be an amazing game worthy of a 9.5 or maybe even a 9.9 but to say a game is actually perfect is a hugely bold statement that I feel too many people bandy about with reckless abandon these days.

    Even Final Fantasy X doesn't warrant a perfect 10 out of 10 from me. It may be my favourite game of all time but I don't think it's totally perfect and couldn't have been made any better.

    10 scores are fine. It indicates a game of the highest calibre; sure, it might not be perfect but everyone knows that. If it bothers you then you could imagine 11 out of 10 is possible.
     
  19. #59 bfun, Aug 30, 2011
    Nah. 10 out of 10 should be nearly unachievable. Sort of like the speed of light.
     
  20. #60 monsly, Aug 30, 2011
    Nah. As far as I know, it's pretty common for movies and music to be rated on 5 and 10 scales and no-one seems to mind. I think it's the nerdy tendencies of gamers that lead to this debate FOR SHAME.
