Calculus Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 Was watching the other night and then started thinking about those items that I might cast into Room 101 - things that irritate and annoy and that you'd like to see disappear forever. Tempting as it would be to nominate Bristol Rovers FC (sic) I really do think Text Messaging would be the first on my list. There you are sat with someone, and instead of having a conversation with you, or even actually speaking to or seeing the friend, they concentrate on their phones, clicking away, filling up the atmosphere with trivial, ungrammatic, unnecessary drivel. Apart from being very rude, it's pointless and puerile and needs dis-inventing immediately. Anyway, I'll develop a headache if I go on much longer - just wondered if I was alone in being a grumpy old git or whether there fellow sufferers out there and what they might like to throw into Room 101?

eastonboy Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 EA. money grabbing *****. I assume you are talking about the absolutely necessary Fifa, NFL, NHL, NBA, Euro2012, Tiger Woods essential yearly updates?(gets my goat) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrs Court Red Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 Actually....I can tolerate that! I hate the way they've introduced Origin, I hate what they did to spore, and what they will do to Sim City 5 - dumb them down for the masses. I hate how they're talking about subscriptions for BF3, day one DLC for MassEffect 3, a game that doesn't tell the WHOLE story unless you wanna buy further add ons or buy the official comic FFs. Gaming is now bigger than cinema, yet these parasites and activision clip it's wings to keep things simple for the biggest profit margin and market share. Here's to Valve and Bethseda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've narrowed your choice down to people in general. Although I agree with the Mariah Carey Christina Aguillera bit, it's way over the top warbling on for 5 minutes for one note.

Here's to Valve and Bethseda Haven't heard about origin, but yes, day one dlc does suck donkey balls. What p's me off about the obligatory annual updates, is apart from a few menu tweaks, the squad updates could probably be done by a patch, hence why FIFA gets bought once every three years, and tiger woods once every four( courses don't really change) There is rarely anything earth shatteringly revolutionary that would convince me to part with 40 sovs of my hard earned once or twice a year. Any yup, thanks Bethesda, you just ruined 230 hours of my life playing ( what I thought would be) dorky Skyrim (roll on the next one) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
