Also, Id rather pay $500 for a PS3 that runs faster, more stable, and is easier to use, than a shitty Windows PC that crashes, lags, needs constant updating/upgrading, and will eventually become totally obsolete. I wish I knew which exact logical fallacy this was so I could give you a wikipedia link about it. |

What? The "logic" comes from my Fiancee's brand new work laptop, which her company paid over $1000 for. It barely runs Xanadu Next without having problems, and after having it for a few months she had had to get it completely wiped. Just a quick question. You wouldn't happen to know, or be this guy would you?  |

Okay, this might be a bit out of left field, but it really pisses me off when waitresses act a little too friendly while I'm trying to eat. I fucking pay you to put food in front of me, bitch! Quite acting like you're my friend! You're not funny, you're not clever, and even if you were, it still doesn't make it any less irksome when you get in my personal space, comment about the amount of food I ordered or how long it's taking me to eat.
I got nothing against small talk. Sure, even a little joke, here and there, but unless you've got the personality to pull it off while remaining at a respectable distance, which you probably don't, then you're just begging not to be tipped.
(yeah, it's a bit outlandish, I know, but I assure you, this isn't some irreverent joke, this really does bug me)

I think I get what you mean. It really bugs me when complete strangers get a little too familiar with me. I can understand being polite and friendly, but it's so easy for someone to just end up being obnoxious.

Every single time I'm trying to buy a game from an Ebay noobie and offer them an amount of money to stop the auction and sell it to me, instead of stopping it and sending me an invoice, they send me a message saying "Sure! I just added the Buy It Now option for the amount that you are willing to pay, so go ahead". Of course, someone else ends up getting them, killer deals like Castlevania 2: Belmont's Revenge for $40, and all 3 GameBoy Game & Watch Gallery titles for $25. Then they send me another message apologizing because someone else got it, and I reply: "Well, first of all, I told you to send me an invoice you moron. And second, just so you know, you could have sold your game for double that amount.". F****** losers...

I think I get what you mean. It really bugs me when complete strangers get a little too familiar with me. I can understand being polite and friendly, but it's so easy for someone to just end up being obnoxious. This happened once when I was eating at college where some guy I had never seen before just came up to wonder how I was doing and asked me a few small talk matters which I don't remember what they were. After a few minutes of uncomfortable eating and me looking noticeably confused and standoffish, he left. Never happened again, and I am glad for this. Here's an irk that I haven't heard for a couple of years but still burns in my mind: "She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy" by Kenny Chesney. Not to infringe on anyone's personal tastes here, and this is just my opinion, but that piece of shit music is cancer to the ears. Seriously, it is the goddamn stupidest song I ever heard, and I can't help but think it was written as some sort of joke. As a further prank, it had to have been included on the Rock Band Country Track Pack for shits and giggles. Why that song, out of any of the slightly less obnoxious titles they also could have picked from Chesney or any other modern-country artist? WHY, DAMMIT?! |

You've obviously never heard that "Ticks" song.

You've obviously never heard that "Ticks" song. It gets WORSE?!? ... morbid curiosity beckons. I see this is by Brad Paisley, whom I'm also not keen on. I will listen to both songs and decide if the existence of country music today is infamita.ADD: Eh, "Tractor" is still worse than "Ticks" to me. Until I find a worse song than that horrid aural abomination which is apparently about a John Deere autophile, I'm not throwing the killswitch just yet. And I'm deprived of sleep right now, so I'm probably making less and less sense as I go. And where I go now is to bed. |

hey, pino, don't forget the days when their were five different xGA modes and sound cards competing with SoundBlaster. There's less hassle now for old games due to legacy support and built-in emulation of old competing standards. What? The "logic" comes from my Fiancee's brand new work laptop, which her company paid over $1000 for. It barely runs Xanadu Next without having problems, and after having it for a few months she had had to get it completely wiped. Just a quick question. You wouldn't happen to know, or be this guy would you? I....do you even know what a logical fallacy is? I think you might possibly be making one when you compare the virtues of something an idiot can't fuck up with something that some idiot has already fucked up through their own idiocy. |

If the new Berserk anime thing turns out to be fake then I'll be pissed off.

What are you 6 years old. Grow up. The entire basis of my argument is a base store level comparison. Run back to Wikipedia and find me a computer that is sold in Best Buy for the same price as a PS3. Does it run as well, if not better than the PS3? Would you be able to run MGS4, or Flower on it? This is where I'm basing my opinion from, and I fail to see how I "fucked up". Also, don't call me an idiot, or try and insinuate that is what I am. People around here don't appreciate know-it-all assholes, and its pretty obvious you fit the bill. |

And I'm deprived of sleep right now, so I'm probably making less and less sense as I go. And where I go now is to bed. As far as I'm concerned "Hold my Beer (while I kiss your girlfriend)" still bottoms out the list. It's not the "quality" of the song that bugs me, it's the fact that it's premise is more or less offensive to everyone in one way or another. I'm horrified not only that someone would write such ignorant trash, but that other people would find it clever enough to deem playable on the radio. edit: I also find "Online" by Brad Paisley to be derogatory and offensive. Of course, I could probably fill another 7 pages with just lists of country songs I hate and the reasons why. |

I think I've heard that "Online" song before, on a trip to/from my grandmas.
Man, that song was pretty crappy.

I might have been talking to the poster who posted immediately before me, who has the username "Pino". Might.
(granted, I have no idea what insult you would take at "pino" anyway)
wait, what
-you expect me to find the specs of computers that Best Buy sells at Wikipedia
-you are asking if games which only come out on the PS3 will be playable on a computer
are you serious? are we doing some elaborate troll dance here? you show me your club and I'll show you mine?
The MGS4/flower question might make some sense if you were trying to imply to that a computer bought willy-nilly at Best Buy could run those games if they were available for PC. The answer I'll heartily give you is "no, most likely not" (at least not for a few years).
But if you consider that agreement a battle won, it's in a war you're badly losing through your narrow focus. A personal computer is a whole different concept from a PS3. I'm pretty sure you can make - or probably even buy - a computer that could run MGS4/Flower perfectly if they were built natively for the system, like they were for the PS3. Would such a PC cost more than a PS3? Yeah, definitely. Would such a PC be capable of far more than the PS3? Yeah, definitely. Wider range of software and hardware capabilities. That's what you gain with the PC, and while it doesn't decide the console vs computer war, it's because that's an idiotic war that no one should be fighting.
I never said you fucked up and I never said you were an idiot. Rather, I'm referring to whoever constructed the following beast:
a shitty Windows PC that crashes, lags, needs constant updating/upgrading, and will eventually become totally obsolete.
If there is such a computer, it was put together by an idiot. One who fucked up. That is not the natural state of a computer.
I also just realized the absurdity of the comment "will eventually become totally obsolete". All systems eventually become obsolete. Your SNES can't run PS3 games, right? Just like a 486 can't run Direct X9 games. Meanwhile, your PS3 isn't exactly the best place to go to for your SNES game fix, and you also need some help running a 486-era game on the PC.
You're reacting to the complaints of idiots (the "fanboys" on that other board) by being an idiot (oops, there I go). I know very well that it's a very tempting and easy thing to do, but it's a bad habit that you have to try to break yourself of at every opportunity.
