Before I start the following rant, I'd also like to point out that I find threads such as the "Hot Women Thread" in this forum
extreeemely childish. If I found somebody drooling over that, and if I saw someone next to them playing on the Nintendo DS, I know who I would think the more childish person was. But from the size of the thread and the amount of views it's had, I must be in the minority on that one.
But I totally, 100% agree with LJ. I'm 22 but I've never understood, and never even joined in, with the guys who go out purely with the aim of getting pissed. "Oh mate, it's gonna be great, I'm gonna puke by midnight" (that sounds like a song, haha) - I'd rather be the way I am than the way they are. Which puts me in the minority again, unfortunately.
Anyway, rant time!
Its a toy, just for kids, this is not clearly how everyone in this counrty thinks and to be fair it is always getting less like this but still it shows how naive people can be.
This is the number one thing that pisses me off with some people. I'm 22, my dad is 60, he plays Pro Evo/FIFA every now and then, and he's on his computer playing ShotOnline every single day of the last few months, and yet whenever a brother-in-law or nephew says to him "I hate the way that X happens in PES", he says "you have to remember it's just a kiddies game"...
He laughs his head off if he sees someone with a DS. If he notices you've got a new game, or heaven forbid a new console, he will hit the roof. "You're fucking mad you are, you're out of your head, you need your head seeing to". And yet if you say "fancy a game of Pro Evo" he will be sat down and have a pad in his hand before you've even switched the console on.
Something that pisses me off even more than that though is when he uses the content rating as if it's a difficulty rating. You know that PES/FIFA says "3+" because it hasn't got sex or violence in it, right? Well he (and my girlfriend's parents) say "if its not a kiddies game, why does it say 3+ on the box?" with the smuggest look on their faces... In-fact the girlfriend's mum, who is the female version of my dad (sits playing The Elder Scrolls games all day long) refuses to play anything with 3+ on the box - "I'm not playing that, that's for babies", like a ten-year-old would say. GOD that fucking winds me up.
*Goes to fetch stress-ball*
Anybody else know someone who thinks the "3+" means the game is for kids?
