Things That Annoy You

I suspect I'm growing an extra tooth. I have a dentist's appointment for Wednesday, but in the meantime it's not very pleasant at all.

While I was mixing the medicine to give my cat with a cold, I poured the water in and the powdery compound poofed up in my face.  Amoxicillin.  The punchline?  I'm allergic to penicillin.  Ah... it's gonna be a splendid day.  If I get as stuffed up as my cat, I'll know what caused it.  If it doesn't kill me, of course.

When gamers skip through the tutorials/in-game tips of games they play (especially Let's Players) and then hit the brick wall that the tutorial was telling you how to get around.  It's annoying because, for the non-Let's Players, they end up asking on the forums how to do something that, if they had bothered to actually READ the tutorial, was perfectly explained to them... and in the case of Let's Players, it creates an incredibly frustrating and not fun at all moment where they keep throwing themselves at the problem, complaining that the game didn't explain anything to them (which, if they had just shut up for a moment and either listened to the Helpful Information Character talk, they would have been through in two minutes) and wondering what to do.

Also gamers who complain about how games "handhold" people.  See above for why games handhold people now.  And the sad thing is?  A lot of these "dumbass gamers" are actually "hardcore" (pffft) gamers who have been playing almost as long as I have, sometimes longer :-/

Just watch for a few seconds to get to the "I don't have an M9" part.

THAT IS EXACTLY THE KINDA BULLSHIT I'M TALKING ABOUT!

...Ahem.

Sorry, that was just... ugh.

Don't watch any of his other stuff. It really is exactly like that.

I know that Tobuscus does it on purpose to garner extra laughs as he tries to muscle thru the problem at hand.

The problem with certain LPers is that they don't really understand what's truly funny. They legitimately think that screaming hysterically into a microphone, making stupid faces, and vulgar humor are good ways to make a good LP.

I love ChipCheezum and General Ironicus because most of the time, they're relatively subdued (at least by PewDiePie standards) and mostly just snark their way through it in an adorable fashion. Like, these are two guys you'd legit want to play video games with because they won't scream in your ear or whack the controller out of your hands while calling themselves King of Rape or something. It helps that Chip is genuinely good at video games and cuts out the vast majority of his failures, and he'll even add extra videos detailing as many easter eggs, side missions, and alternate paths as possible.

ScottishDuck is someone who I would consider "Failure is Funny" in the sense that he's not actually trying to suck, he legitimately sucks at playing games, admits it, and Let's Plays games for that reason.

There are certain LPs of his that are fun to watch and others that are not.  Avoid his Psychonauts LP, because the Waterloo-o level will make you scream at his idiocy.  On the other hand, his Ratchet and Clank stuff is fairly amusing... until it isn't, in which case, I just start skipping through the video.

He's not an LPer to watch if you want to see him make progress each video.  Thankfully he does title his videos, and in really extreme cases of stupidity he'll link you to a future part of the video where he figures it out.

I'd like to do some Lets Plays, but there's no way I can run anything too taxing on my ancient computer, or upload anything with my ancient connection.  Maybe someday.

[ironbite]

AlChestbreach is legit funny.

Ironbite-at least I think so so...

Since we're talking about LP's (Let's Plays, not Long Play albums), all you need in your life is this.

People who claim their advice from whatever herbal remedy book they're reading this week is better than your doctor's instructions. Especially if they follow it with, "those doctors don't know everything."
