You know what really grinds my gears?

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

When people think they know what they are talking about but really have no clue.

I don't even bother arguing anymore. Not even worth it.

I see this a lot with sports.

I don't mean personal opinion. That's whatever. Everyone has one of those whether you agree with them or not. I know I'm vocal about my own.

It's when the person clearly doesn't watch or know sports but seems to neglect that. They will talk about a player or team and just get the basics all wrong. Usually I just nod my head and let them finish and make a mental note to never discuss sports with that person again.

This wouldn't happen to be Cavaliers related would it?

I feel like a lot of us here have this problem. We're here because we are probably a bit too in to sports. I can rattle off all kinds of stupid knowledge about rosters from back in the day or something that happened 3 years ago in a regular season game in Week 9.

It's not even that we're elitists or snobs, a lot of people just don't know what they're talking about and don't know how much I (we) know about exactly what they're trying to talk about.

Smile and nod, smile and nod.

The ridiculous amount of pointless threads and impatience by people in the MLB The Show forum. When's the release date? When are we getting new info? It's a daily thing in there.

I love the game as much as anyone in there, but man, I don't revolve my day around waiting for the next bit of news. When there is news it will be announced. No point in asking every single day.

I'm not trying to be a jerk, but it gets absurd in there this time of year.

Patience is your friend.

The thing I never understand about those posts and other similar ones for other games is: this is operation sports. You're a member here because you know we post news as soon as it's available.

So logic says when news is available you'll know it. It will be posted at the top.

If you don't see it, that means there's no news.

My guess, is that they maybe put it in there with the hope of a dev possibly chiming in with some info.

They're kind of 'fishing' a little.

Not saying I agree with it, but it just comes across that way.

Actually no.

Sorry to be vague, but I don't want to get into it here.

Re: Old Spice commercial

Whoever came up with that commercial sucks.

Actually I'd say they did a fantastic job. I was at a buddy's place watching football on Sunday. There were probably 15 people there, and every single person in the room stopped and watched the commercial in silence.

Everyone was talking about how weird it was. But it's a great commercial because every single football party across the country did the exact same thing we did. Then they ask their friends/colleagues if they saw the super weird Old Spice commercial yesterday.

Old Spice is doing marketing right.

They should have saved the Old Spice commercial for the Super Bowl.

This is something you should embrace. You've found something you love, who cares if no one else gets it?

In a spin off of this (nothing to do with you, Clemson), it bugs me when fellow music fans love an unknown band, then hate the very same band when they become popular. Going as far as hating the old material they once loved just because the newer stuff has reached a wider audience.

That's pretty much the definition of a hipster.

I'm gonna assume we will see a part two of the song in the Super Bowl.

The audience will know the storyline. And when it comes on, everyone will stop to watch it because horrible or not, we want to know what they will think of next.

Early favorite for most talked about Super Bowl ad.

Word Authentication boxes or called CAPTCHA. Some websites make them so complicated to see what the hell you have to type. All I keep doing is hitting next until there is one I can understand. Hate those things!

Yeah, it's stupid hackers and spammers that create bots that spam these forms requiring captcha.

Drives me nuts as a developer, because clients want things to look exactly how they want and captcha rarely fits in that vision.
