Whenever I see an anti-piracy of pro-piracy thread.

When I call a potential employer and the manager is on vacation. Seriously, every manager in the city is on vacation at the same time, and they're never coming back. That's what I've learned.
Daddy just went to the store, Junior. He still loves you very much.

OT: Every single time it rains even if its just a lite drizzle it knocks out the satellite signal, and it always seems to happen when there is some show I want to watch. Curse you Direct tv.
Huh, I have DirecTv and our signal only goes out when it's absolutely pouring, and then usually it's so bad the power goes out. Then again, I live in Southern California so it only rains hard a few days a year.
OT: Uhh...when I want to quote someone in a thread but have nothing to contribute to the topic itself.

Any time someone equates the person they're arguing with, or their argument itself with that of the Nazi party on an internet forum.
That's actually so common that it has it's own name lol. It's called "Godwin's Law"

Not game-related, but:

Every time the power-tripping jackass at work assigns us pointless, tedious busy-work at the end of the work week, like scrubbing the long-crusted-over dirt off of propane tanks.

Look, asshole! We just finished eighty hours of beating the shit out of rocks with hand tools, we haven't showered in a week, and we're desperate for food that doesn't taste like propane and cast iron! The van is spotless, the tools have been put away, and the first-aid has been inventoried! Shut the hell up and get the fuck out of our way!
Where the fuck do you work?

When a game tells me to go somewhere, only for a fucking mysterious cave-in to occur, and send me half away around the game world just to open a bastard door!

Case in point: BioShock.

Watching that little arrow spin around and tell me I had to go somewhere else pissed me right off.

You did notice that the game is also available for only $33 in that post, right?
I have really, really shitty luck when it comes to used games.

We literally have games that just plain do not run or crash during cutscenes.
That sucks, but not all the "new and used" are in fact used. I've gotten tons of brand new CDs via those links for a third the Amazon price (or better).

So, my birthday is coming up in less than a month, so I'm considering "SUBTLY" hinting that I want Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner: Kuzunoha Raidou Vs. The Soulless Army.

You know, I think it's a really cool concept, maybe this SMT game will be hard without being turn based, and maybe hard without being too bullshi--

Oh god dammit, not this shit again! I already dished out eighty bucks for Tales of the Abyss, dammit!.. Why are the games I want always so stupidly rare?

Anyways, fellow Escapists, the topic of discussion is:
Have you ever had any moments that make you say, "Oh, not this shit again!"

Similar story, someone on here recently posted a video for the band Maximum the Hormone. It was a pretty good song, and a bit different than most of my music. Anyway, I got to amazon, and go to mp3 downloads to search for them, and they don't have anything. Fine, they might have some stupid objection to having their songs up for download. I search for it again in the general music category, and the albums all cost thirty or forty dollars! What the fuck!

The cheapest one, at 16, is a fucking single! I'm not paying sixteen dollars for one or two fucking songs! What the hell, Amazon?

Also, your game is thirty dollars used. Still a lot, but it's not as high as eighty.

Every time one of my flatmates, whom the rest of us all hate, turns the kitchen into an unlivable mess or when he literally fills the entire toilet bowl with shit
When I find out the new game I just bought has an escort mission
When I find out the new metal album I just bought has another, almost obligatory, 'slow song' like 'Vermillion' on Slipknot's 'Subliminal Verses'
When the internet in my flat goes down again

Whenever my power goes out. It seems to go out at least once a month or so. It wouldn't bother me so much if it went out during a storm or something(that would be understandable), but my power always goes out when it has no reason to. It often goes out 3 hours or so AFTER a storm hits, or sometimes just randomly on a sunny day. Plus whenever it does go out, it's when I'm playing a game and haven't saved in a few hours -_-

Firstly I hate when people praise COD by saying it's the best game ever when it's not and I really want to tell them to go suck a dick. Also when I play inFamous in the mission called "Anything for Trish" the people who made that can die in a fire. A very big fire.

Every time I see a 12-year-old with a mic on Xbox Live.


I swear if it wasn't for the mute button I would go insane.

When my connection shorts out, I get disconnected, have to wait a few minutes to re-connect to XBL, then join a whole new game. "Not this shit again" indeed.
