What Grinds your Gears?

[rb26x]

My parents. I was having a pretty good day, and then as soon as they get home, I hear whining and complaining towards me, and I feel terrible again tonight. I need to get out, but oh, I'm not aloud out after dark even though I'm 15, almost 16. It doesn't matter though, I don't have a jacket since my mom says I'll outgrow it this year, so I'd have to wear layers, restricting any mobility on a bike, and keeping me from having any fun going outside, being that it's cold, and I hate the cold with a passion.

History was awesome for us. We got to watch 40 minutes of films (half the lesson) following the teacher going over the historical inaccuracies.
I remember we once watched parts of Braveheart (a terribly inaccurate film). It was not the best was to 'learn', but it was fun.

I can beat that, watching Blackadder for history reasons... TWICE!!!!

Stop complaining! It's cold and wet here but it's supposed to be summer!

Don't forget to mention the flooding. In Summer. The only change we get between each seasons is heat changes and tree leaves changing. Summer it's hot with rain. Autumn is cooling down... With rain, Winter is cold... With rain, and Spring is warming up... With rain and about two days of sun.

I am now pissed off because I don't know where I can find a place to get Bobs Track Builder to run. I downloaded a RAR file and I don't know how to do anything with it.

The fact that there is yet another GT-R in the upcoming DLC just pisses me off.

Aghh... Tim Tebow lovers who fail to acknowledge that he is merely average and its the Broncos defense that keeps them in the games.

And nothing else good. A Scirocco? Who cares about a fricken Scirocco? And the Golf, and a Mini... Grrr.

I'll probably buy it though, because PD is good to us, and the GT-R is cool, even though there's already what, 100 in the game?

 

[BubbleBelly542]

Well I went to a music store to look at cymbals, and jeez, there's so much to choose from! It's overwhelming and depressing.

Get a small-diameter crash, one average sized crash, and a decent ride, problem solved!

I can only get 1. It's a Christmas gift from my parents. Tough choice.

What Grinds my Gears?

Bedtime, 10 o clock is simply lame..

9:00 for me. I'm sixteen. HELP ME! Why do my parents think 9 is an appropriate bedtime? I can't even do homework anymore if I have to work with somebody else because by the time they've started it I'm in bed. Holy 🤬! [/RANT]

There are a lot of GTR's, but this is the R35. Completely different to the others. Still there are a few R35's already...

Do you currently have any?

What's grinding my gears is soreness. It needs to go away.

 

[Downhill Dino]

I like Sirocco... Golf... and especially the Mini. Even the Skyline! Always a good addition to the game.

Skyline complainers, grind my gears.

I don't mind the cars. Yes another Skyline is ridiculous hence the fact the amount of Skylines in this game, plus ones that are added from sanctioned events. But at least it's the 2012 one. Hopefully it wasn't simple copy-and-paste or the feel being exactly in the 2009 one currently in the game.

 

[rb26x]

If they need to add GTRs or Skylines, why not standard models, or a better model of the GTS-Ts and GT-Ts, I got a R32 GTS-T for drifting today, and although the RB20 sounds awesome, the car looks built out of angles, one of the worse-looking standards.

9-10ish for me. I hate it I have to sit under my blanket with my iPod if I can't sleep.

If you're into recording or just like cymbals that sound great unmixed, go for Meinl or Ziljdian.

Both have that perfect balance of 'aggressiveness' & smooth after-touch

 

[BubbleBelly542]

Ya some crappy Paiste crash/ride (18 inch I believe) and a 13" crappy Paiste Hi-hats.

No, not recording yet. Never heard of Meinl. I was looking at a Zildjian ride and a Sabian crash, they are both really nice.

 

[TankAss95]

Most of the things that grind my gears are my own fault, rather than anyone else's.
Look on the bright side, at least we can control most of the things that annoy us (presuming you's are the same as me).

Yeah, Paiste is kind of garbage 'til you spend a LOT of money on them.

Sabian is ok, but I recommend Ziljdian over Sabian. Meinl is kind of like Ziljdian, not cheap, but a bit cheaper & sound awesome

Edit:

Stay away from 'splash' cymbals, a decent 'crash' sounds sooooo much better

Edit 2:

To follow the thread rules, Paiste Cymbals grind my gears because the cheap ones sound more or less like pot lids....

I agree, mostly. The Scirocco is, well, ok, but I've never really been interested in it. But the Mini, being a Mini guy, I'm excited about it!

 

[Cowboys965]

Yea... No real huge things.

A family van, and pretty much 3 copies of cars, which we already have. Also, another Skyline/GTR.

Anywhere between 11PM and 3AM for me. Hence my ridiculous wake up time.

The amount of things I've had to download these past few days. GT Legends was 2.5 GB. Got a 500 mb in demos. And about 200-300 mb of other things to use with these. WHY CAN'T I STOP!!!

 

[Cowboys965]

Having a very stressful and emotional week.

 

[Downhill Dino]

I missed my 4000th post! I had just realized it too...

 

[Roush_fan_99]

That feeling you get when you have an assignment to do but just are way too tired to do it, and you fear it may not get done

 

[Doog]

I think our definitions of 'van' are different. My definition of 'van' is this:

As far as I know, a Golf isn't a van, and neither is a Scirocco, or a GT-R, or a Mini. I'm confused.

 

[MadMike'86]

You mean like this? If the purpose of this thread is to solely rant when we're angry, then move on, I would agree. The fact is, there is a little group of regulars in here that will post about gear grinders or agree/disagree with other people's gear grinders. We don't have any other place on GTP to do that. Almost every other forum out there does. So what is wrong with it?

I would like to point that you have posted a similar message to this several times now, but I haven't seen any recent messages along the same lines from a moderator. Is it really bad, that we're just a bunch of complainers and we've found some like minded people? Is it really a bad thing? We follow the aup, we post in one thread in the off topic section. We aren't bothering anyone.

My guess is that the mods haven't really made any effort to warn people in this thread because it's an allowable level of chit chat in an off topic subforum. They've pretty much got their hands full with the GT5 section anyway.

I think you don't get what I mean, I'm not talking about a handful of comments after someones rant (which is fine) i'm talking about when it goes on for 2/3 pages...and yes a Moderator has posted here warning about it (TB I believe)

Also yes, I do understand the concept of the thread, I did create it after all....

Today I was on my way to work and I spy a Lamborghini Murcielago stopping at the lights where I'm crossing. I know it's new because the Lambo garage has only been in town for a few months. It's orange, nice.

As I'm crossing the road and admiring it's beauty I spot the badges have been replaced with Transformer Decepticon Badges. What a tw*t! I walked around to see the rear and it had had the same modification.

Don't get me wrong, it's a very popular thing to do here and I've seen Honda Fit/jazz that look cool body kitted and with Transformer badges in place of the H. But a Lamborghini? Honestly, some people have more money than sense!

What a major 👎

I've seen only one Lamborghini in my life, a Gallardo, and it's beauty was radiant AND unmodified and that's how every Lamborghini should be, unmodififed.

On topic, having not had my gears grinded for a while, it seems that whatever I do today ends up in me having to do it again, repeating my self all day long.

Gah.
