For starters, the xbox one... like.... really? REALLY Microsoft???
Also gamers who take games way to seriously. Like... all of LoL. People take League of Legends, especially the guys I know. It pisses me when people rage over polygons. Getting frustrated is one thing, but yelling at people because they "Can't Lane Properly" no, uhuh fuck that. Its the reason I don't play multi-player games unless I can physically reach over and smack them upside the head.
This is true ESPECIALLY in Warhammer Fantasy. People get way to butthurt over that game.
I'm going to ignore the elephant in that post that is screaming at me to call it out (my issue with the gaming industry today is less of a post, more of a full on rant that would take too long to type, let alone read.) but I will say this on the Multiplayer subject:
I suck. I know I suck. I acknowledge and even embrace the fact that I suck at multiplayer games (I don't consider CoD or its clones to be real game so much as they are borigpng ways to blow $60, but I suck at them as well) so I have, and will continue to be a primarily Single-player gamer.
Does that mean I don't see the draw of certain games? No. I'd love to devote some time (and money) into really understanding the mechanisms behind WoW, LoL, Diablo 3, Tera, Eve Online, etc. But due to budget constraints (read:being broke) and my lack of skill when playing a game that has multiplayer beyond couch co-op, I do not do so. It always amuses me to see people getting butthurt about K/D ratios or other trivialities and watch said butthurt folks miss the entire point of a game- which is to have FUN.
Do people take their shit too seriously? Absolutely. Hell, I was stark raving mad about Fallout for the longest time (and still am- I can and will get into a flame war over the superiority of Laser vs Plasma weaponry) but it is seeing and hearing (in this case reading about) examples like the mentioned ones that, had I any desire to actually pick up an MMORPG and take it seriously, completely turn me off from it.
This was me, saying stuff and going on a nonsensical rant over nothing of real import. I gotta stop doing that.
On topic: Frank motherfucking Horrigan.
For those of you who don't know who this man is, play Fallout 2. He is an Enclave science experiment A Super Mutant (That is bigger than MOST Super Mutants) that wears experimental Enclave power armor AND is constantly ripped out of his mind on Psycho, Buff out, Amphetamines, etc. He punches you and you turn into a fine pink mist. And he is the ultimate Fallout enemy, even managing to make the Legendary Alpha Deathclaw AND The Master look like pussies.
Also on topic, Terry "Hulk" Hogan's acting. I saw Mr. Nanny today, a movie staring the ugliest wrestler from the WCW from 1993, in which Hulkamania plays an ex-wrestler turned body guard turned babysitter.
Holy mother of Christ on a cracker is his acting cringe-inducing. I was confused which was worse, the flat and almost robotic way he went about his lines alongside Sherman Hensley (from The Jeffersons) or the god-awful writing that made the movie feel like the end result of a mating ritual between a supervillain movie and a typical 1990's "tough guy warms up to children as he learns to love them" movie.
I was afraid to vomit after watching that movie, because I wasn't sure if I should try to rid myself of it or contact a poison control center. Yes, Hulk, your acting made me seriously consider a visit to the hospital.
