Xbox Live in general. Every 12 year old on there has somehow had sex with everyone's mother and wants the world to know it. It also irritates me when I'm called a cheap bastard or being told I'm bad when I beat someone.

1) someone interrupting
2) My dad back seat gaming.
3) motion sickness (very rare)
4) headache from too much staring at the TV
5) Idiots who try to use team work in Nazi Zombies, but forget to turn their mics up above a whisper, so you can't understand what the hell they are saying.
6) Cheaters. I UNLOADED A WHOLE GOD DAMN CLIP ON YOU IN COD 5 THEN KNIFED YOU BUT NOOOOOOO, YOU KILLED ME WITH A GOD DAMN PISTOL!!!

CoD4- I had my bead on you and my trigger down for ten seconds and you turn around and kill me in 2 seconds. I just put you in the center of the crosshairs (hipshot crosshairs) with a shotgun at facerape distance and fire and you kill me. I have my sniper crosshair on your head and fire. Why aren't you dead?

All of those sadly happen to me on a regular basis. It's why I enjoy single player games more than multiplayer.

This happens to me quite often and it is soooooo annoying. I empty an entire clip into the guy, yet only one or two of the shots register. Then I get killed...

-Fighting final boss to I wanna be the Guy, his health is almost completely gone and suddenly, the game crashes.- FUCK!
Damn it. I have no idea how much that would suck since I made it to SCREEN FUCKING FOUR with a play time of just over an hour. But IWBTG:TMTG is literally the most ball busting game ever, I wouldn't be surprised if the game was coded to make that happen the first time you almost kill the final boss, making you go through a second time before you can actually beat the game, just for the lulz.

Logging into The Escapist, finding I have 16 new messages, then discovering that they are all chat messages in user groups.

Finding that my team is full of AFK idiots.

Then I have the habit of sitting there beating on them, yelling to get in the game, thus detracting further from the teams manpower.

Playing online with people who have gamertags like @s$a$s1n_N1nj@_412517. Most of them are 12 year olds who watch Naruto too much.

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

1. Sweaty mouse hand.
2. Discomfort from my wrist resting on the end of my desk for too long.

People playing music over their fucking mic. I don't care if you talk, but I'd like to be able to at least hear if I'm being shot at! I can play my own damn music!

I hate when people glitch in CoD4. I had never seen it before, but just recently I have noticed that sometimes, random players start floating across the map, and one time, I got killed, and when I watched the killcam, it showed the the guy used a D-Eagle, and there was NO recoil when he shot like, 4 bullets.

I also hate when people blast music or sing into their headsets, or complain that there are hackers and swear, just because they are losing.

On the other hand, I find it amusing listening to high-pitched pre-teens yell and whine and scream. I just find it funny, and if I had a headset, I would laugh at them all the time.

I forgot to mention that I hate it when I lag right when I'm about to get a kill, or when the host ends the game before it even starts.

My pet hate when i'm gaming is when people insult me.
I always kill em when they do that, again and again and again. I don't care what the objective is i just kill em over and over again.

The title is sort of self explanitory. What things happen when you are gaming that right and truly piss you off? For me, it's a toss up between two things...1) When my hands get sweaty from gripping the controller and 2) when my mother interrupts me (and only me, never anyone else) every ten minutes to do completely assinine chores.

So let's hear it, people of the Escapist...What ticks you off while gaming?
When your talking online and right next to you you have your Girl friend or Best friend nagging the living hell out of you

well I'd say when people scream my gamer tag over the mike
" HEY willah!"
" WILLAH!! WAZ AP WILLAH!!"
but it's actually quite amusing

what annoys me the absolute most is when people have ether loud music in the backround or it's blasted straight into the mike, can't stand it
