annoying

Five pet peeves.

This entry is part 8 of 29 in the series Tumblr 30 Day Challenge

I try not to let things get to me, so this is harder to write than other things in this 30 Day Challenge. Here we go anyway.

  1. AzRj5People who use “you’re” instead of “your”. I’ve come to slowly accept, as annoying as it is, that people will use “your” instead of “you’re”, due to laziness and a general inability to utilize the English language above a Primary School level. What truly bugs me are the people who try to show off how grammatically  superior they are to others by making sure to use “you’re” and still use it incorrectly. “I saw you’re dog the other day.” is not the proper use, and you’re a retard for thinking it is.
  2. Talking too loudly at the cinema. I am a bit of a hypocrite in this case, but I try not to be. I might make comments to the other person I’m with during the movie, but I try to do so quietly. Those who sit there and yell out things like “IS WILL SMITH GOING TO KILL HIS DOG?” and “OH MY GOD I CAN’T BELIEVE HOW FUNNY THAT WAS! DID YOU HEAR THAT? PEAS AND RICE OH MY GOD.” make we want to hurt things.
  3. Gamers who hate new players. Let’s face it, everyone is new to a game at some point. The environment is new and you don’t know how to play. The only solution apart from searching online for tips is to reach out to other players. The last thing a new person wants to hear is “Uninstall the game!”, “Press Alt+F4 to win.”, and “Oh great, another scrub.”. If you want to kill the growth of a gaming community faster, be like that. However, if you love your game, you should probably try being a little nicer to new players. You cunt.
  4. People who don’t pick up after their dog(s). You are even more disgusting than your dog.
  5. Region pricing for games. With the Aussie dollar being stronger than it’s US counterpart, why do Australians still have to pay $80 for a game that North Americans only need to pay $40 for? I’m pretty sure that means we are literally paying more than double the price. Fucking ludicrous. What the fuck Valve/Steam?

Why I won’t be buying Shattered Horizon

by ZombieSkittles on February 20, 2010

Shattered Horizon is supposed to be a first person shooter set in space. Zero gravity, space stations, and all that amazing stuff we dream of blowing up. I was given a guest pass to it by a friend on Twitter, and decided to give it a go a while ago. Then I got to attempt to play it again today, as the game is currently having a free weekend. After loading it today, I can say that I’m not interested in the slightest in ever purchasing this game.

shattered_horizon_ss_13 I borrowed this screenshot from the main site. I’d take my own, but I can’t get into a game.

During the guest pass period, I logged on twice, and out of those two times, the busiest was when there was a whole seven people playing, spread out over five servers. I’ve never been interested in playing small games, least of all when I’m new to it, so I let it go.
This weekend, since the free weekend is on and the game is already preloaded on my computer, I logged in half an hour ago to give it another go. This time, most servers were full. However, not only were there no servers under 200 ping for me, but whenever I connected to a server, I was disconnected before I was actually able to play, with no reason supplied. How can I try a game when they won’t let me play?

This experience has killed any desire I have to play it.

Colourful 2 (My DVD Collection)

by ZombieSkittles on April 22, 2009

I figured, I loved how my last post about my CD Collection came out so well, that I may as well do one for my DVD collection. Luckily, this collection is slightly smaller, so shouldn’t take nearly so long. Most of these are the covers I have; some are alternate versions because mine wasn’t available, or in the case of movies like the three Resident Evil movies, were part of a box set and therefore don’t actually have separate covers in my collection.
