Things that cause you to nerd-rage.

[Kayhoff]

When people say iTouch instead of iPod touch.
In movies and tv shows where somebody pulls the slide back on the pistol during a dramatic scene. THIS DOES NOTHING. Even worse is when they pull back a hammer on a pistol that wouldn't actually have a hammer. Even worse than THAT is when somebody pumps a shotgun for dramatic effect, as this wouldn't do nothing, it would just waste a shell!

"Engineers with very large brains told us that bumblebees can't fly. Bumblebees, unencumbered by such large brains, continued to fly, blissfully unaware of their inability to do so." - Thought For The Day, Radio 4, a while ago.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

Engineers know exactly how bumblebees fly. I hate it, hate it, when people try and make out that higher intelligence is somehow bad. This is a combination of two bits of extreme stupidity that requires severe *****-slapping. Which lecherous cretin said such idiocy?!

It being Thought For The Day, it was ... someone religious, probably Christian.

People who believe in Ghosts, magic or Miracle Healing, anything like that. For gods sake, there's no such things as ghosts or spirits. I've got a friend who believes DRAGONS exist. Can you believe it? I mean, he PISSES ME OFF SO MUCH!!!

Hearing internet memes being shouted out in real life, and when anonymous makes the news, then how everyone who has heard of 4Chan suddenly becomes an expert on the topic and must "educate" everyone around them.

I went to school with a lad who truly believed that he was a werewolf who transformed at night and everything, he was deadly serious.

Fact: You can't add new character models into console DLC. To do so would be to change the basic game engine

the game engine is separate to player models, skins, animations and pretty much anything related to the model, DLC just adds an extra directory, which the game loads from, the game runs on an engine.

Apologies in advance for not collating this and my previous post.

I know, don't worry. Game engine is the physics and how everything interacts with each other. It's what moves all the stuff you put into it, but I was simplifying it for the average lay-chap. Also, I couldn't quite figure the right word, I was drawing a blank D:

Oh yeah, and as for that dragons/werewolves are real shit, I convinced a friend of mine I was a time lord for a year.

"SONIC GAMES SUCK HERP DERP"

Ok. Let me start here. THEY DON'T SUCK ANYMORE! Sonic Colors was freaking amazing! Sonic got a new voice actor, ROGER CRAIG FREAKING SMITH! The same guy who did CHRIS REDFIELD and EZIO AUDITORE! Sonic Generations will be fucking awesome, as far as I'm concerned. Also, in Sonic Colors, guess what characters there were? Sonic, Tails, and Robotnik. Yeah, only 3 CHARACTERS! So can you PLEASE stop whining about there being too many characters? Seriously, it's getting REALLY ANNOYING!

Yes. This guy

And then they call themselves hardcore gamers...

snipped

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! omg. i am definitely disturbed by that, but the clip made me laugh more than it would piss me off.

OT: i would nerd rage on series, be it games or movies or whatever that ends up deviating from the original path which was decent or even good. mostly on games though.

[AtheistConservative]

While firearm inaccuracies in entertainment bother me, they don't bother me nearly as much as inaccuracies in news and from people who think they know what they're talking about. A nice example is when the Assault Weapons Ban was going to expire and idiots were spouting off about kids shooting up schools with machine guns. The AWB had nothing to do with automatic firearms. Or "High power assault rifles", assault rifles by definition are intermediate power weapons.

What triggers do you have that send you into a nerd-rage?

One of mine is when people ask why they didn't just ride the eagles to Mordor/Rivendell/etc. The eagles are heralds of and were devised by Manwë himself, the leader of the Valar. When they help, it is basically divine intervention. It's not like calling a horse or something. The eagles are not at your beck and call.

I know that I have others, but I can't recall them right now. Share yours!

Any Capcom game or Capcom Icon that gets destroyed over time

Example:
Megaman Battle Network ( I will never acknowledge that as Megaman)
Megaman Zero Series (I'm ok with the zero series, but they should have ended it at X6)
The New Devil may Cry (The one that even Kamiya said is horrid)

DON'T SAY ANYTHING BAD ABOUT BATTLE NETWORK. IT IS AWESOME. UNLIKE STARFORCE.

Rapists (dey climbin' in yo windows, snatchin' yo people up)
Spies (they're always sappin' yer sentries)
Atheism (burn the heretics)
Furbashing (do I even need to explain?)

I thought that Nolan North was Ezio?

 

[LCanFlyy]

Twilight.. purely because of what that woman did to vampires. :/
Anyone who will go out of their way to correct someone on their spelling and/or grammar, regardless of knowing them or having any valid input. Yeah, okay.. so they put 'your' instead of 'you're'.. no one is perfect. It's a mistake, maybe they SHOULD know better. But just let it slide =-=
I dislike CoD. More so because the guys at college go on and on and on about Zombies.

Again with the inaccuracy in CSI and NCIS. As much as I do love the shows.. just, no. The Jack-of-all-trades mentality annoys me too.

And the 'Better Than Thou!' mentality some gamers have. I haven't played even a fraction of the games most people have, and what I do know of them is through watching others playing and reading around. Doesn't make my opinion on anything game-related less valid just because I can't draw a comparison.

Lastly - people shoving their opinions down my throat. Mostly religious views and such. Ack. Personally, I think you are deluded. (I would rather accept the idea of ghosts and elves and other fantasy beings - but maybe I read too much. Life would certainly be more fun. )

No. Nolan North voiced Desmond Miles not Ezio

I'm sorry but I just find this difficult to believe that a Megaman crossbreed between COMPUTERS and POKEMON elements can in anyway be good. I gave it a chance and I hated it. Everything I knew and loved about Megaman was gone. Instead I got a tiny computer program owned by an Adolescent punk who I cared nothing about and had the personality of sandpaper. Honestly the only interesting factor was Bass.EXE.....that was it. The rest was blah. SCREW YOU WB!!

When people say Mass Effect 2 is better than the original, and for that matter, when people say Mass Effect 2 is a good game.

 

[clipse15]

lets see,

Star Trek 11
12 year olds who play warhamer 40k and think they know all about the lore from just reading the codices
Rednecks on xbox live
chavs
pc elitests
contards
4TH EDITION
COD
people who claim bioshock is inovative when System Shock and Dues Ex did it first
WARHAMMER CAME FIRST 1987 BIATCH
Twilight(i read the books - then burned them)
anyone who makes fun of Jamie Oliver HE IS TRYING TO GET AMERICA HEALTHY THEFORE UNDOING THE STEREOTYPE OF AMERCANS BEING FAT AND LAZY
school (ignorant arseholes)

anymore and i might seem like im always angry.

Wait you call American's fat and lazy, then you go on to say that you hate school and call them ignorant assholes? That's kind of hypocritical. An wait what makes you rage at Star Trek 11?

 

[LordDPS]

how does my saying school children are ignorant and calling americans fat and lazy hypocritical? on that matter i never said americans were fat i just said they were too stuck up to let Jamie undo the STERIOTYPE of fat americans. I was not saying americans are fat i hate sterotypes but a lot of people don't.

The newest star trek movie rellied on stupid SFX and eye candy in a poor imitation of blockbuster action. I noticed the absence of a moral story or something promoting eqaulity the random explosions in place of anything resembleing plot, continuaty, or narative structure was jaring and why all the shiny flashing lights along with slanted camera angles why?

don't try to start a flame war or some kind of argument because i will not repond
