What irritates you the most while you are gaming?

[fondayama]

I hate it when people mistake you for the person who insulted them, and flame you for a full day because they think you insulted their mother, or something. I got flamed by this girl because another person in my colors said that all girls suck at gaming, and she decided to send me a message every time she died, and teabag me repeatedly when she killed me. I'm a girl, btw. I replied with "gender in no way whatsoever affects gaming ability" and proceeded to beat the shit out of her and everyone else in that Halo 3 match.

Sweaty and irritated hands. I get sore thumbs and sweaty hands all the time, I need to put some talc on em before I play or summet...

Stupid AI, in particular a type of AI in a certain Pokemon game that enjoys prancing off in a different direction to which their leader is trying to drag them in.

Also, when people make fun of my gamertag.
Sorry I didn't pick p3nis or shadowdarksouldeath or something.

ilovesalt = way cooler.

Indeed it is.

Heh, that reminds me of a quote from Reeves & Mortimer that no-one but me will get...

"Hiya, D'ya want some salt?"

Very well, I'm mad.

Mine is Death Trousers, why?
Because I have trousers of death, that's why.

when im in the middle of a real close match on live and the phone rings and it may just be important but its just my brothers freind looking for him even though i told him ten minutes ago he wasnt home.

2) when my mother interrupts me (and only me, never anyone else) every ten minutes to do completely assinine chores.

Most certainly agreed. It's guaranteed to happen just as I'm getting immersed in the game.

Or a sister comign down to blast her shitty music, ask me what's going on, or making noises one would expect from a retard (last one is just me, unfortunately)

Most recently this occurence has happened when I'm getting into a nice marathon session, she comes down and whenever the announcer say the name of my character, in most cases, either noel=vermillion or taokaka, my sister then repeats the characters name in an exaggerated version of the announcer... anyway, hackers, n00bs (the idiot kind, not the new player kind) and gramers (screwattacks name for the ones who grunt at each other playing halo/madden)

Online: Roleplayers.
I dont care if they are the super-mega-awesome-doom-wolf that has been awoken from a thousand year slumber and their roleplaying friend is this fairy princess who has to cut her wrists every three seconds because of some lost love she longs for.
I am here to play a game, without my message box spammed with random world chats of "blasts you with super powered energy beam" "Flies to the heavens before dropping down in a pool of blood". And I dont see why I have to turn it off when I am trying to organise a team together over world chat!!

Offline: Power cords looking the same.
My mother mistakened the playstation plug for the radio plug...

 

[Khryon]

Ego-ists and annoying people who say "Heeeey guuuiseee, wanna glitch? I know how 2 glitch? Glitch with me pl0x?" and when you don't they rage at you and *-TEAMKILL-*. Happens all the time

 

[Jirlond]

I agree with OP - sweat is nasty but you cant stop!

Also when my mum doesnt understand that I can't pause online games!

This. So often. Especially when people interrupt for no good reason, not to give me something to do even - just to interrupt and get a little attention. It's almost as if they're asking to get yelled at.

[small] I really need to move out...[/small]

Playing games for a few hours when your brother comes in and says to turn the game off he wants to sleep.

Your quote reminded me of another quote from those tourettes guy videos.

*smashes salt off table* "FUCK SALT!"

Ohhh that's too funny. And being mad is quite nice, isn't it?

 

[la-le-lu-li-lo]

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'.

When the game throws in Training mode in the main single player mode.
FFS I know how to walk/jump/run/shoot/use a vehicle and I don't need your help to tell me how to do it again.

If someone badly needs a training they do a training mode like Half-Life did and Half-Life Opposing Force too. THOSE where good training maps and taught you all the things you needed to know.

 

[Wini]

Kids under the age of 15 (majority of them) using mics in game. FFS GROW SOME BALLS AND STOP RUINING MY HEARING WITH YOUR HIGH PITCHED VOICES!

 

[jimduckie]

people who quit a online match mid play , having to go to the bathroom in the mid of an online game ,ignorant little shits who don't shut up (thank god i can mute them) and having to quit play because i have to go to bed and go to work next day ... early wake up

 

[Arkhangelsk]

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say losing. It really grinds my gears when that happens.

 

[jimduckie]

Any interruption, especially when my mother comes and tells me to complete my homework/chores.=[
That, and when my computer starts to lag JUST as an enemy appears on my screen on online play. I feel like smacking my mouse against my desk every time that happens.

do your homework /chores b4 you play lol

 

[Sh0ckFyre]

Playing online on Xbox Live, because roughly 65% of the people online are 8-12 years old and are ALL playing the 16+ and 18 games

That's too true, unfortunately. Fortunately I don't play Halo 3.

 

[Canadamus Prime]

The telephone! I hate it when the phone rings when I'm in the middle of an intense gaming session. I've actually broken several phones in rage because of that.

 

[whaleswiththumbs]

My brother sitting next to me making noises.

Or the little kids playing big boy games and thinking they are equal cause the got a mic.
