You know what really grinds my gears?

[oneamongthefence]

The fact that every time I pop in a brand new game (doesn't even have to be a day old), I have to download at least a small patch.

Happened with Max Payne 3 and now I'm downloading one for Ghost Recon. I know it's not a lengthy download and usually just some sort of server deal, but it's still annoying to be hyped for a game and then have to download something.

I used to read the manuals during this time but more and more games are going to on disc manuals. So now I just stare at a loading screen.

When someone asks you a question and then right after you give them an answer they go and ask someone else.

That happened to me yesterday. I overheard him asking the same question to someone else, and he got the same answer.

This doesn't annoy me on the 360 but it is awful on the ps3, for whatever reason seemingly every ps3 game requires multiple patches and they take forever to download. Whenever I get a ps3 game, I have to prepare myself to wait at least 20 minutes before playing because of all the stupid downloads.

Double especially when the blog post regarding the update states "Online play will not be affected"

When you are playing basketball, you go up for a rebound and come down on someone's foot and end up slightly rolling your ankle as a result.

People who are mean and cruel to animals. I'm not an animal fan myself, but just leave the damn things alone.

Dunno if this happens to anyone else but when I play pickup basketball there's usually 3 courts in the gym and for whatever reason, everybody wants to play at the same effing court. We could have 20 people in the gym, enough for 2 separate games, but people rather wait for "next after next" than play on another court.

And also people who are shooting by themselves and refuse to play in pickup games when we only need one person.

It took me up until a couple months ago to finally roll my ankle(I'm 22) so I have been lucky. Of all things it was when I was back peddling back to the other end of the floor.

I've never understood how people can go to just shoot around. I always tell myself that I'm not going to play and just shoot, yet I always play 3-4 games.

There are 6 courts in the rec at Cincinnati, almost all the time the courts are full (except later at night and the morning). About 5 or 6 o'clock is the most populous time. Of course there are 2 or 3 people that want to play volleyball, so they get the net out and tell us we have to move. Really, 3 people get priority of 10?

When you're at the beach and the loudest, biggest tools on the beach decide to set up right beside you. Then they commence to drinking heavily, playing crappy music, cursing loudly and talking about drugs non-stop.

It's one thing if it's crowded and they have no choice, but there was plenty of other open spots for them to pop a squat, then that's what grinds me gears. Plus, it was so peaceful and relaxing until they got there...

Don't really see the problem with this. Not everyone wants to play and many factors can determine that. More often than not, it's the 8,9 or so trying to play aren't good, one guy on your team thinks he's Kobe or they take a pick-up game too seriously and it's not even fun (that last reason killed it for me at Mizzou).

I really don't play basketball anymore, but when I did go, I mostly went to shoot around. There's no rule that says if you go on the ball courts, you have to play a game.

People who try to take charges in pickup games.

Kids who whistle or sing in online multiplayer games.

Clowns who don't mute their Kinect mic when the play shooters online.
