Niggly details that get on your nerves/under your skin

When shotguns are dramatically pumped at every opportunity, even when there should be a round in the chamber. Three things: one, you just ejected a perfectly good round. Two, when you've got an unfired round in the chamber, you need to hit a special release button/lever to unlock the slide. Three, it should only ever be necessary when the magazine is empty, despite what supposedly realistic games/movies would have you believe.

It may not be obvious to the average person, but to me, it's like seeing someone get in a car, driving a block, and then turning on the engine.

I think they like to do it cause well not only does it show "I GOTZ DA GOUN!". It is a pretty scary sound. Guns are scary, and when you hear a shotgun pumped when your doing something wrong.. Its very intimidating..
But I know what you mean haha

You speak as if you have experience of a shotgun being pumped behind you whilst doing something wrong?

no no well my dumbass friend once pointed a loaded shotgun at me.
It was scary.
He didn't have to pump it for me to get shitted.
You just don't point guns at people its a rule of gun safety.
I don't want to die a stupid death like that.

A pet peeve is the use of silencers and suppressors in movies. Adding a S/S doesn't suddenly make your gun completely silent. There is still quite a bit of noise off even S/S pistols. Your not going to walk behind a row of guards shooting them each individually. The others will hear would hear you after the first shot!

Any movie or TV show that tries to get technical with computer info. More often than not they just wind up spouting off some gibberish and using all the right terms but in a nonsensical way. Just pisses me off. What, can the writers not pop down to the IT department for 30 minutes to get their crap straight?

Spoiler: Uncharted 2 Spoiler... kind of... even though they showed it at the very beginning of the game but still it's kind of a spoiler.

The fact that Nathan Drake constantly gets shot up in battle and then regenerates in a matter of seconds, but if he gets shot in a cutscene it's permanent and walks around half the game grabbing his side. At least in Metal Gear Solid 3, when you get shot in a cutscene you have to open up the survival menu and cut the bullet out.

The line in V for Vendetta; "Not so funny now, are you...funny man?" Had they just left out the "funny man" part, there wouldn't have been a single piece of bad dialogue in this movie.

Oh there are two lines in Zombieland that made me cringe with disgust at the fact that they would put them in the movie... the "I'm going to Pacific Playland!" line and the one about Tallahassee looking like Yosemite Sam even though he obviously doesn't.

Spoiler: Also a Kick Ass spoiler.

The whole movie was excellent. It was funny, had great action scenes, and while it was a bit unrealistic at times, it was all pretty much down to earth and believable. And then at the end of the movie, they pull out a jetpack with machine guns on it and shoot someone with a rocket launcher. I was this close to calling it the ultimate movie of 2010, and then that killed it.
