The fact that my left ear isn't working properly. I went to a show that two bands that are friends of mine and another prog-rock band played at in a small building, and I stood to the left of the mosh pit getting my ear destroyed by a pa system. The worst part is that the guys who own the place wouldn't let them turn the guitars up anymore for damaging loudness, yet they had mic'd the drums so loud you could barely hear the guitars if there was some intense drumming happening. Also during the show, the moshers were getting out of hand, and pushing into me, so being that I had an excuse to punch someone, I joined in. I'm 5'3" and got elbowed in the head multiple times, so now I'm hurting and have ringing ears all day today.
 
Batteries. Why do they die so quickly in my wireless controller? They're Super Heavy Duty ones too. :grumpy: Now I can't play NHL 2K5.

Your avatar is awesomer. :lol:

Back to the gear grinding: My iPad crashing when I post on GTP. A 1st world problem I know, but still irritating.

We could get along quite well I think. 👍 :D

I'll probably just shout at them to get some bloody clothes on, because they look like a sex worker. :lol:

:lol: Thanks for making my day Skython. 👍

Anyway, time for another rant....

What's grinding my gears today? Stupid coursework is mounting up, I don't have enough time to do it. Basically due to illness I'm now behind by 2 units in ICT. :grumpy: I have a Speaking and Listening English Assessment tomorrow which has been driving me insane, but on the plus side we're allowed to do it on any subject, so I did it on Iron Maiden. 👍

Sunday's Rant is over.

Care to share a story or two? I'm quite curious about that game.

It's a very nice game, but it's lacking that one thing that makes me want to go back to it every day and play it. It's like, why bother? Gran Turismo's going to be a lot more fun, while Forza's just going to be boring after 20 minutes. As for online, it's a snore fest. Unlike GT, where you can have track days and no races, Forza forces you to start a race, and then do whatever you want to do. It makes drag races or drift rooms annoying, having to commit to one car until everybody backs out of the race, and it's especially annoying if you join the room while a "race" is in progress, because you'll be waiting for 20+ minutes while the people on the track eff about in GT-Rs and Veyrons. And the people aren't very friendly, but then again, unless you have a mic, you can't just have a conversation in the chatbox like you can in GT, so all you really get are the angry turds that do have mics shouting the place up, while the people who don't have mics just have to take it, having no say in what happens in the room. Overall, Forza 4's online is, well, lacking. I never found it enjoyable in any way, shape or form, whereas I almost always have a great time playing Gran Turismo 5 online.

Hahahahaha!! Priceless!! (I've got Win7 Pro on my 'real' computer)
 
Not getting beers in last night because I was meant to be working with my dad today on our site but he's sick in bed and I missed my chance for a beer on a night when I don't have to wake up early for work in the morning!

Apparently they're having some issues at the moment.

It's a great game though, although having XBLGold would be reccomended, because online is essential?

Its XBL....If you play MW3 you tend to get racist players if not Elitists.

I do what I can. ;) You won't pass with Maiden, just because teachers believe metal music can't have any intelligence and is all about shagging and drinking. :grumpy: But if your English teacher or assessor has the right musical tastes you'll get excellence, because you'll know a lot. ;) :p
 
I'm logging out for a few hours. Grinding my gears is this distraction of a site that I keep checking on every 5 minutes to see the latest posts. :lol:

I'm getting no work done and the whole point of working on my day off was to catch up not do less!
 
I don't ever log out, but it automatically does it when my computer malfunctions and I must forcefully shut it off.

I used to never log out, but after I was gifted premo I log out all the time at school.

Why?

I am never logged out, as the app keeps me logged in.
