So without further ado, ladies and gentlemen, I give you a place to bitch about things that don't quite fit anywhere else, a place to voice and discuss your fears and complaints without fear of being seen as a negative nancy. This is just a place to vent. Your rants don't have to make sense. I'm not arrogant enough to suggest that you limit them to this thread, but this is the perfect place to put them. Shall I start?
1) Not enough DS game software. I'm a broke college student and I find myself agreeing with the people who say the DS doesn't have enough games at the moment. They barely fill up one shelf at my local EB. I can't bring myself to drop $190 on a DS and game yet because I can't find any game I must have that's worth that amount of money. I'm fully expecting all this to change once Zelda or Metroid DS come out, but until then... what's taking so long?
2) Not enough new franchises. Aside from Wario Ware and Pikmin, Nintendo hasn't really made any new franchises this generation. Don't get me wrong, I love playing Metroid more than any other game out there, but at the same time I can't help but think of what Nintendo could do if they held an interdivisional brainstorm session to come up with a completely awesome new franchise and recognizable main character. Or better yet, if they founded another division to come up with new characters under Miyamoto's watch.
I'll come up with more if this takes off. Somebody mention online, just to get it over with.

Just to be clear, we're blaming all this on Nintendo, right? They're behind all of this somehow.

I also hate this damned school that I go to!
I also hate it when a show will have a 2 min commercial break, 3 min of show, and then 5 min of more commercial.
I also hate it when Cartoon Network cuts of Yu-Yu Hakusho in the middle of the G-- damn fight between Yuske abd Sensui.
I hate all the home work that I should be doing right now.
And I hate being constantly shut down by a girl I dance with at every school function!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hate Melanie Griffith. I don't really know why, she just makes me very angry whenever I see her.
I hate pimply faced teenagers who think they know everything, while they hide behind their computers, because nobody likes them in real life. Whoopsie, looks like I just offended nearly all of you...
I also hate how I let my emotions control my actions sometimes, when I should be more rational. Hmm, that might be it...

I hate how the sun is in my eyes right now
I hate how there's a little star by the print sign
I hate how I can't speak another language, but yet don't want to
I hate how I have 20/20 vision, but don't speak to strangers

When I came to this forum I experienced it as a very strict environment for serious debate with moderators less tolerant than StaSi agents and rules prohibiting pretty much any stupid comments. Now we've reached the point where people constantly derail any thread they don't like with stupid replies, even those that were created for debating a serious topic. People creating gimmick accounts to post idiotic comments and be "teh funnay!". Behaviour that would have gotten you a quick ban back in the PGC StaSi days.

(1) I hate how Super Mario Brothers 2, 3, World and Yoshi's Island were released as four separate GBA games at full price. They really should have been released either as a compilation or for $20 each.
(2) Even though I respect Nintendo for not doing this, I kind of hate it that they refuse to kick Sony or Microsoft when they're down, even though Sony and Microsoft have no problems running their mouth about Nintendo.
(3) I'm not a fan of Nintendo's press releases, but I wouldn't say I hate them.
(4) I hate how television advertisements for games include almost no actual in-game footage. Even cut scenes would be better than the stuff that's out there now. Although, I can't really fault Nintendo for doing this because very few games have much in-game footage.

Me too. I think it's a squeeze-it bottle thing since I never recall encountering it back in glass-bottle-only days.
Regarding Nintendo I don't really care for some decisions they make but the only thing I really HATE about them is that they're stubborn. They force a lot of stupid restrictions for no reason and as a result us fans get screwed on options. I hate how if Nintendo doesn't like something they will not only make no effort to accomodate it on their consoles but will seemingly make an effort to ensure that it doesn't appear on their console at all. They clearly design everything for their own needs and that short-sighted way of thinking is really annoying particularly when Nintendo are such great game artists. It's ironic that they would want to restrict anything.
As for general stuff:
I hate how professional wrestling sucks now.
I hate how entertainment is frequently dumbed down for mass appeal instead of having multiple different products for different tastes.
I hate how the general public accepts this.

I hate how every game coming out for the DS will be complained about. If it only uses the touch screen it's not deep enough. If it doesn't use the touch screen at all it's a poor use of the DS and shouldn't have come out. If it only uses the touch screen for a few things it's a gimmick. If it uses both the touch screen and the buttons it's overly complicated.
Least that's what I've heard people whining about D=

1) They pander to the market's whims way too often... saying the DS is for games only then busting out the Play-Yan... moving from cartridges to discs... and now they seem to be seriously considering online. Each concession they make, they lose a little bit more of my respect. I want them to choose something and stick with it.
2) I'd have to agree with the GBA Mario stuff... that's just ridiculous. And LttP GBA is too expensive after all these years. What's up with that? I've been holding off on buying it for a ridiculously long time now.

We'll give it a quick vote. Who hates this thread?
That's a trick question!!
If you hate this thread, then you should say so in this thread, which would make the thread useful, so how could you hate it? It makes no sense!
Seriously though, I think that once the "fun" of this thread wears off, it will either become useful, or fall off the front page into nothingness.
(As a side note, I don't think an "outlet" would ever really decrease the amount of negtivity seen in the forums sometimes anyways.)

QuoteI bet they're Marilyn Manson fans, too. If not, the media will claim they are anyway.
Five teenage boys fully intended to go on a shooting spree at their high school but were stopped after one of them discussed the plot on a Web site, law enforcement and school officials said.
The boys, ranging in age from 16 to 18, were arrested Thursday, the anniversary of the Columbine massacre, just hours before they planned to shoot fellow students and school employees, authorities said.
... Blah blah blah ...
Norman also mentioned bullying and said investigators had learned the suspects liked violent video games.

Is this the pinacle of modern society? Of course not. That's us, right? Us nonmurderous gamers.
I also hate how kids that get picked decide to shoot up the whole school. I mean come on. Take it like a man. Seriously, man up. Don't be a bitch about it. You can mess with the people that mess with you, but there's no need to kill anybody because you'll just go to jail, and we all know what happens there.

I'm gonna kill something alright, like it's not bad enough they blame games for their mischevious ways, no it's the friggin upbringing that's the problem, that and the media and the way things are spunned around, and crappy ole foggies in politics. As if there weren't enough scape goats like Lindsy Lohan or Britney Spear... blah!
And why's Ian negative 95% of the time??? I luv ya Ian, but since this is the place to moan, might as well get on your negativity issues and see what's stirring the pot ( no you can't smoke it :p )

And what's with Bill and bridget??? Bill happens to like guys who are genderally confused? WTH is up with that??? does he wish to take advantage of the poor lad/lass in drags? is there something needed to be compensated for? :p This and more I wish to know... more or less.

Dammit vudu, if you're going to bump so many threads, don't go asking the mods to make each thread locked automatically after a few months of inactivity..
Actually, I just wanted to bitch about how some kids try to shootup a school and immediately people start blaming video games. But no one else had started a thread about the incident and I tend not to create too many threads--hence I bumped one that was mildly related to what I wanted to talk about.
