Pet Peeves!

[eagle5953]

Random, but have you ever seen a price for Buy It Now on eBay where you just wanted to message the seller and be like, "You're an idiot"?

All the time. People who list original XBoxes and expect to get over $100 for them, for example, or even try to sell a pack of 5 sports games from a few years ago.

Hey, that brings up one of my pet peeves - sports video games! I've never liked them or enjoyed them - WHY ARE THERE SO MANY OF THEM!? I know, different people have different tastes, but so many of them are so generic and boring that it's frustrating when you go to a used game store and there are entire bins and walls dedicated to sports games that I have no interest in.

Seriously. They only make major changes when new consoles come out.

Madden NFL 2009: Roster Update

NASCAR 2009: Minor Tweaks to the Drafting System (also new car textures)

NHL 2009: Slightly Shinier Ice

[eagle5953]

I agree with all of the above regarding sports games, plus this:

Why do they change things that don't need changing? For example, Madden's kicking meter. Leave it alone! I hate having to learn a new kicking system every iteration! It's not even as if it's evolving towards an ideal type.

In this era of internet connected systems, there's no reason they can't offer a roster update for $20. Plus, all the plays wouldn't be different.

The first 151 pokemon cards.

For $30,000.

[eagle5953]

The Buy It Now price IS $30,000

Edit: In Palmer's sig - Woo!

Hmmm... why no item or energy cards? That's hardly a complete collection worth $30k, no matter how lame everything past the first generation of cards were.

[bicostp]

30 grand for a bunch of cards?!

I'd rather buy a used Delorean and have an extra 10 grand to build up an LS1 for it.

As far as sports games go, the only one I really got in to was Ice Hockey for NES.

[lifeisbetterwithketchup]

1080 Snowboarding on the N64 is the only sports game I ever really liked.

Pokemon Cards:

I now know why he's selling them for $30,000.

At least, it shows where his stupidity comes from.

Ya ever notice that auctions usually go up in price? 20k is about what you'd expect to pay for a Delorean, if it costs less, it probably needs some work done to it.

Now, back on topic...

I hate it when the parking brake on our car doesn't get pulled up all the way. It doesn't roll when the clutch is engaged, but as soon as I push the clutch in, it starts rolling back. Usually my mom is the one to blame.
