This, this, fucking this. It is inflammatory hyperbole of the worst kind, is disgustingly popular and makes me almost physically sick. Even on The Escapist so many people are willing to casually repeat terms such as "grammar nazi" with no comprehension whatsoever of what that would actually mean (I tend to visualise those of poor grammer being forced to wear special badges).

On a slightly less furious matter, I tend to react with "not this shit again" everytime I see advertisements instead of simply ignoring or avoiding them. It is always the same insincere, transparent misinformation and outright lies spewed again and again to be eagerly imbibed by the stupid and gullible, my reaction being towards both the severe lack of imagination of advertising companies and the level of idiocy required to fall for any of it.

Every day that I pick up the newspaper and read yet another letter from yet another whinging bloody southerner complaining because my state doesn't have daylight savings (in the summer of all fucking things). They just can't fucking get over it, and of course the paper is so bereft of content they have to print this shite every goddamned day! Where's that rageguy pic when ya really need it?

I collect Dreamcast shmups. $80.00 is CHEAP for me.

Thank God that you're not into collecting Neo Geo titles.

I had ingrown toenails, they were removed and the root was supposedly burned but turns out they grew back to being ingrown again, they were then removed by a guy who said none of his have grown back

AND NOW they are yet again growing back, but in weird places, this time I can hopefully keep them maintained.

A new game comes out, and my computer is far behind minimum specs.

For instance, 2 years ago I DREAMED of one that could run F.E.A.R., HL2, DOOM 3, and the like. They were THE games to have.

Well, now I have that compy. And it can't run Mass Effect, Command and Conquer 4, etc.
You need to start building your own pc's. My 3 year old, 300 pound computer can run crysis on high. I just bought good value, second hand components. And the slow pace of software recently, has meant it's stilloverpowered for most games.
That's the thing, until recently, I haven't held a job that payed enough for me to afford regular upgrades.

Looking forward to a new build soon, though. I MUST play Mass Effect and FarCry 2, and also prepare for Deus Ex 3.

Whenever anything happens. Ever.

Also, whenever I read someone commenting on Half Life Episode 3. I really do not give a shit, but apparently 99% of the internet do, so I'm subjected to rabid fanboyism every time it comes up.

Near the end of Mafia 2, I felt like a badass when I was mowing dudes down... but there were so many! A man can only carry so much ammo in a trench coat!

Recently this happened to me while reading a news article here on how the police are considering D&D Online was a factor in rape-murder. It really got me frustrated that some people could still be so silly nowadays.

Every time my internet connections fucks up
Whenever a new series of Big Brother or The Xfactor is on TV
Every time we run out of teabags

And every time I wake up to go college

While, ok, it's used very often, and often in an unjustified manner, it's only because it's a widely accepted evil, meaning noone will really question your comparison's evil..ness. It's oppressive and controlling and discriminating...

You can really see why it's commonly compared to.

Thats not what I meant. I mean the saving you incur building our own, mean you can buy more future prrof gear. I haven't touched my pc in 3 years. Well, I replaced the motherboard when it started smoking. It's just that video-games have not caught up with the hardware that was available 3 years ago, never mind surpassed it. Upgrades are a thing of the past for most people.
