What irritates you the most while you are gaming?

[Motakikurushi]

Dumb twats that use cheats on Team Fortress 2 or any other online game.

Oh, and while I'm at it, how about fake users? You know, the ones that only pretend to be bad at a game so they can challenge little noobs on ranked matches to destroy? It's funny until it happens to you. Expert users just ruin the game for everyone else. I went against a team of incompetents apart from this one expert Scout and nobody could kill him. Maybe because my team were all a bunch of retards; well, the engineer didn't build a sentry, which was his F***ING JOB! Oh, that reminds me, people who try to kill each other instead of capturing the flag. So I, with the only sense around, have to do it for them. Seriously, stop trying to kill everyone, that's not the point of the game mode; if I don't do it then nobody will. They probably give me an evil stare after like "Oh, trying to ruin our fun 'ey?" There are games when everyone tries to get it, which clearly fails as they wander straight into a perfect defense, or don't bother at all, which makes it easier for me because the mindless dolts are all distracted slapping each other to care. Even when they heard their intelligence had been captured they didn't care.

I'm level 5 prestige and can count the games where team killing took place on three hands.

Just one hand in binary.

00001
00010
00011
00100
00101
00110
00111
01000
...
You can get to 1023 with just fingers and thumbs. It's quite handy. 1110000100 is 15 minutes, which is as long as you're supposed to stay in the sauna (where you can't take a watch).

What's most annoying in games is people!

Yep, you're a strange one... We're gonna get along juuuust fine

Who fails a raid?

Leave the small fry. WE've got to get into that portal.
No, really. Get in the portal.
Are you even at the keyboard or did you just switch to macro?
Crap.
Everyone who's in the portal, don't go anywhere yet. This clown's trying to be Rambo out here.
Hey, idiot, get in the portal.
GET IN THE DAMN PORTAL YOU FOOL!
Hey, JackSaw, why's your health dropping?
Let me guess. You ran ahead.
Okay. Jonesy's Mage, can you keep JackSaw alive until this blithering idiot here drags his arse into the portal?
Finally!
Right, clear up time.
Wipe this area, but don't go round the corners.
Er, Bob, by 'don't go round the corners' I meant ... well ... now wtf are you going?
Everyone PLEASE try to stay within healing range of the two life mages.
Ah, smeg.
Okay, I'LL kill the artillery. WAIT HERE.
One ... JackSaw, don't go that way. There's no need.
Two. Everyone to me.
JackSaw, that includes you.
Amigo, please wait for the others.
Anyone not ready to move on?
Right then. First on the right and clear at the junction. SpiderFriend, nail the artillery down the tube fast.
Where's Smit?
Smit? You joining us?
Is he afk or lagging out? Did he say anything in area chat while we were waiting for el plonko?
Crap. Going back for Smit. Third on the right, gang-bang that monkey and WAIT FOR ME.
Smit! Wakey wakey!
The heck? How did you guys get the lowbie killed? It was ONE monkey. There are six of you.
Okay, kid, give me the permit and I'll try to get it for you.
Hey, look, there goes Amigo, dying all alone because he ran ahead.
Smit, are you going to move before your subscription runs out?
It's not ANY way. WAIT FOR ME AND SMIT.
Oh yeah? And are you going the right way?
If you're going off course, you're going to have a hard time recovering the body afterwards.
Okay, Smit's back with me ... and running off on his own the wrong way.
Smit, get back here. It's a RIGHT turn at the start.
Sod ...
SMIT!!! STOP RUNNING AWAY!
You guys still okay down there? Spider, watch out for respawn.
Smit, where the heck did you go, you maniac? STOP RUNNING AWAY.
GET BACK HERE.
Oh, swell. Respawn. You guys hold out. I'll try to clear a path back for myself and captain crackhead here. Jonesy, ffs keep everyone alive please!
Everyone else, keep them off Jonesy.
SMIT, WITH ME. With me, Smit.
Okay, back with you. I'll just get this stuff and we'll be off.
JackSaw, wait for group.
...
Left here.
Down the ramp.
DOWN THE RAMP.
DOWN!
THE!
RAMP!
GET YOUR BUTTS IN HERE!!!
Do you people EVER do what the more experienced players tell you?
GET IN HERE.
Well, there goes another one.
Hey, great idea. In future, I'll just come in first and kill everything in the entire place so you lot can run around like retarded geckos on crack. It saves so much effort that way. Far easier than trying to get ADHD gerbils with fleas inside their skulls to cooperate.
YES, I *do* mean YOU.
Spider, you okay there?
Right. Jonesy, behind Spider. Jack, beside Spider. Don't let anything through.
Amigo, you out there? How far did you get?
I'm going to nail those two mages. Hold here.
Mage one down, and by 'hold' I meant 'stay' as in 'do not leave'.
Just get in the portal.
Portal.
Portal.
Portal.
While you're still alive, portal.
HIT THE PORTAL!
Everyone, get down there and hit the portal.
I've had King Quests easier than that section.
Is it just me or did JackSaw run ahead before everyone else was even in portal space?
Jack?
JackSaw?
Well, I guess he must have. Watch out for the trap at the crossroads.
Oof. I guess you hit the trap at the crossroads.
Great.
So, Spider, Jonesy and me, is it? This should make the boss fight kind of tense.
You've got what?
Okay, well, take care.
Er, Jonesy and I'll just deliver the package and ...
... well, quit from there, I guess. There's no way we've got the power to take that thing down as a duet.
Ready?
Blimey. Everybody, Dave, dead is.

Wow. I mean, Wow. I haven't laughed that much from a thread post in a long time I have to ask, is this a verbatim recounting of an actual raid gone horribly wrong, or just an incredibly well thought out scenario? Either way, friggin' HILARIOUS. All the way through I kept thinking "Yep. Been there. Why do people do that? Oh yeah I know THAT guy." etc. etc. in between random bursts of laughter...

Well done.

 

[elilupe]

People who interrupt me just as I get into an unskippable cutscene

 

[Undercover]

Could you be more specific?

(Precicely why I play online co-op with people that actually have hair between their legs.) No offense to the pre-pubers, but you little twats need to grow up FAST.

How...disgustingly crude.

Oh stop it, you're gonna make me blush... Ok yeah that was a bit harsh, I admit it. I'm not taking it back or apologizing, just admitting it was a little harsh.

And now, on with my life.

Through the magical power that is bestowed upon me by the gods of the Norse I will grant you all, the true annoyance, that always annoys, and always can be described with one word :

! Douchebags !

Ah yes, the ubiquitous douchebag: (Noun) "doosh-bahg" characterized by douchy behaviour and general douche attitude. ex: "Did you see that guy team kill half his squad then suicide? What a douchebag! (See also: Asshole, Prick, Lamer, Dipshit, Glitcher, Griefer)

BTW rockin' Avatar. PREACHER, baby! (HBO started shooting a film version but scrapped it. Too bad, I bet it would have been pretty good)

 

[Julianking93]

Power outages.

Corrupted my saved Oblivion data and killed my 360.

 

[Undercover]

That's it? Really? that's the best that guy could come up with?!? I mean what kind of pathetic nerd- oh yeah. Right. Forgot where I was...

Oh, and anyone that can use the word "happenstance" properly in a sentence is cool with me. I guess I'm just a fan of the english language, and not this phonetic crap I see everywhere. (Your aforementioned PM being a perfect example.)

Gee, thanks for the confidence. Seriously, I could be your DAD. I just don't seem to have a problem communicating with people way younger than me. Go figure, I play video games

Suddenly I feel creepy.

Gotta go...

Yes really, that's the best he could come up with. Needless to say he received a polite reply 'No.'

I used to have a Canadian friend that called me a 'lexiconniseur'. That was back when I actually read my 'word of the day' emails from Dictionary.com more than once, and made an effort to learn it. /: But at least I can still use happenstance! And whence, which means from where, not when as most people think... And other useless shit like that.

I don't think it's creepy, I think it's cool. I've always delighted in talking to adults, and it's quite the odd phenomenon where kids just won't talk to anyone older than them. We're not quite as clever as many of my generation think they are. The exception being me, I'm bloody brilliant. ^^

My dad used to play Turok with me, these days we just drink beer and laugh about shit together. So you can understand my lack of bias towards you for being 'old enough to be my dad'.

Well, its starting to look like you're gonna have another Canadian friend soon. I'm actually jealous, I can count the times I've played video games with my dad on one hand, and not even all the fingers. And we've never drank beer together. Yeah, my life is a bloody Stain'd song...

I have to admit, you are pretty eloquent you know, for a minor and everything Its funny, when I was younger I couldn't stand people my own age so I always seemed to end up hanging out with people older than me. Now that I'm older, most people my age bore the living shit out of me, so I end up hanging out with people that are younger... (Not you know, teens or tweens, but people in their mid-late 20's and so on.)

Ok I have to stop lurking this thread and get to work, this website isn't going to build itself...

Here's another word(s) of the day for you: Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness
(I love being pretentious enough to use that term, the irony is friggin' hilarious)

TTYL

 

[WorldCritic]

Getting through a really hard part of a game and being interrupted.
-Fighting hardest boss in a really hard game, phone rings- Damn it!
And when a game either glitches or crashes.
-Fighting final boss to I wanna be the Guy, his health is almost completely gone and suddenly, the game crashes.- FUCK!

 

[vacuumbrand]

Power outages ate a ***** if your a gamer.

The frustration caused by a power outage is hard to contain. Especially when the power goes out right when you're about to beat a final boss.

Which happened to me last week.

Where the hell do you people live so that power cuts are common? Iraq? I think its happened to me once in about 2 years.

Im annoyed by people who quit early when losing and/or glitch. Also whats with Americans always mentioning bad teeth? You do realise that in England we have the NHS and you can actually afford to see the dentist? I've probably been to the dentist more often than 3 Americans put together... and thats just check ups.

Brits are notorious for bad teeth; Americans notorious for being fat, etc. You know the drill.

Ok, it took playing a bit of HL2 to remind me, and I can't believe that I didn't think of this before, but the all-time, NUMBER ONE ABOVE ALL OTHER THINGS I hate/revile/despise in any video game, especially FPS's is GETTING HUNG UP ON OBJECTS AND IN DOORWAYS!

Nothing, and I mean NOTHING pisses me off more than when I'm in the middle of a heated battle and need to fall back, or when I just plain need to run like hell, and I get STUCK IN A FUCKING WIDE OPEN DOORWAY, or when my character, who for all intents and purposes can survive 30 foot fall without injury, can take several rounds from automatic rifle fire without dying and wipe out entire regiments of bad guys, can't even jump over a 2 foot fucking high obstacle!!! I mean come ON, is there anything more frustrating than being in the middle of a firefight with bad guys hot on your heels and you get stuck in a fucking doorway? THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN IN REAL LIFE.

Yes, I know, I am well aware that video games are not real life, but developers LOVE to talk about how real their games are, but when was the last time you tried to walk through a door in your house, bumped your shoulder against it and got stuck there until you took a step back and tried again? Unless you're a complete retard, I would hope the answer would be NEVER.

I would be willing to take DAMAGE if it meant that clipping off of an object meant nothing more than a minor readjustment, or you simply bounced off the doorway/barrel/whatever, instead of being stuck on it like it was covered in goddamn Krazy Glue!!! I can't even recall how many times I've been fully immersed in a game only to have the whole thing go straight to hell after I got stuck in a doorway and ass-raped by the bad guys.

PHEW. I really needed to get that out. Okay, now I'm going to go outside and talk to some girls.

 

[axia777]

I hate it when I am in an intense moment in a game like a boss fight or a really hardcore battle and some one in the room tries to talk to me/get my attention. WTF?! It pisses me off to no end. Don't they see I am concentrating on kicking ass?! I have told them all that if I am playing game and I am not talking I am most likely to busy to deal with their crap. So unless they are on fire or bleeding to death they can bloody well piss off!!

 

[quiet_samurai]

Power outages ate a ***** if your a gamer.

Yeah, it's so startling when it happens too.

Glitches or crashing or when my 360 will just stop and say the disk is unreadable is irritating too. My numero uno though, is when somebody wants to talk when I'm playing. Sometimes it's OK, but there are times when i need to concentrate or hear what's going on. I've had girlfriends that are terrible at this.

Finally, someone who knows and likes The Preacher!

Oh HELLS yes! My friend introduced me to the Preacher series a few years back and after reading just one graphic novel I was HOOKED. After a few beers/hoots he would ALWAYS convince me to read them out loud and do all the voices. (I'm somewhat of a mimic and I'm pretty good at accents, so I'd get right into it)

I know that sounds totally silly, but we're talking about PREACHER here, and I know I'm not the only one that did it, because there was an introduction in one of the GN's by Penn Gillette of Penn & Teller who said that he and his wife liked to do the exact same thing, (Minus the beer and the weed) I mean the dialogues are some of the best ever written, Garth Ennis is an absolute GENIUS.

I remember once I got right into a particular Graphic Novel (The one where Starr gets his hoo-ha bitten off by the dog) and was doing all the voices when suddenly I heard the sound of juuuust a few more people laughing than I thought were in the room! I looked up and sure enough, all the roommates in the house had come downstairs for story time, and I hadn't even noticed. It's nigh impossible to embarrass me, so I kept going and didn't miss a beat. It turned into a weekly thing after that, with everyone passing around the issue of the week and having a crack at reading it out loud.

Totally escapist (Good tie in, huh?), totally immature fun for grown ups.

So yeah, I like preacher a LOT.

Uh, I'd consider the marriage/grandma/leg shaving thing on ONE condition.

You have to call me Arseface and say it like you mean it...

(And yes I know you're a guy, that's what makes it so damn FUNNY. That and the fact that we're about the only ones that would get the joke)

 

[VegetaPrinceofSaiyans]

#1 dumb*sses that come into a raid without knowing the fights (noobs in naxx on 4 horseman fight, moron raid lead puts the new guy in the back, and the moron forgets to switch when the debuff hits it's 3rd stack so raid wide aoe butthurt for everyone adn eventuall wipe...needless to say that guy got gkicked soon afterward.

#2 just general connection bs...getting dc'd in teh middle of raids...(i'm looking at you comcast)

 

[rhyno435]

If anyone here ever played Recon on Battlefield: Bad Company, you will know what I'm talking about.

I HATE those little fuckers that, no matter what, want you to play YOUR GAME, THEIR WAY. This is especially true when it comes to the Recon class. Time and time again I've been teamkilled because some little brat didn't like the fact that I wasn't in the action and that he had to sprint for about 10 seconds. If my class was ment for being all up in the enemy's grill, I would have a fucking ASSAULT RIFLE, not a SNIPER RIFLE.

I also hate when people jump on their menstrual cycle about camping. Am I supposed to sit back and LET you capture the objective or kill me? If you can't take my camping ass out, then shut the fuck up and play Viva pinata.

I know exactly what you mean. I was on the artillery gun once and I was about to take out a gold crate and kill 3 people, when my teammate kills me from behind because he wants the artillery. It annoyed the crap out of me because I couldn<t even see him while I was aiming. I wish there was a game mode where team killing was turned off.

 

[Randomeaninglessword]

Getting kicked from a server spot because some D-bag asks to admin to kick me because he wants to be player 6 or some crap like that.

 

[MiracleOfSound]

Hmm probably the fact that people are better than me at it?

I mean- it's never my fault when I suck of course, it's always lag or cheating or thier magic voodoo spells that make them better at aiming than me.

Bloody cheats, with thier voodoo dolls.
