Little Things that Irk You 4Ever

[BaronSqwelch]

To be fair to them...the dullards who trot out these incorrect facts (the next person to tell me a ducks quack doesn't echo will be murdered) probably do only use 10% of their brain.

[Dogg Thang]

Tortured over whether to buy a game digitally on the 3DS store or actually take a trip into a shop to get it. Games are getting thinner on the ground here so there is nowhere close by that I can nip to in a few minutes. So I could pay for it on 3DS and I buy a lot of games digitally so I'm no stranger to that but I find myself more reluctant with full retail 3DS games given the lack of account system. Might just wait it out and go pick up a physical copy tomorrow but I'm irked that I feel like I could be playing it now and yet won't do it.

If it's a game you'll be sinking serious time into I would recommend buying digitally. The only reason I buy physical 3DS games is that I'm getting 30%+ off retail on release.


Tales of Xillia 2 CE is down $40 to $100...looking more tempting now.

I will be sinking serious time into it. It's the new Theatrhythm game. Why do you recommed going digital? It's funny, I do it more with my Vita but have only bought one full retail game on 3DS. I'm still more traditional on that... not entirely certain why but I know I don't like the fear of having my 3DS die and losing my games.

The "we only use 10% of our brains thing" is one I find especially annoying since it's so common and used as a sappy motivational thing.

My irk for the day.

Pay and display machines that construct their prices so you need just more than a single coin.

I can understand that, it's the same as why I never take more than one cart out of the house with me. With the Vita you're right. you can get another console and still be able to play all those games on it, but not with the 3DS.

The audio from Netflix running through a browser is 64kbps.

It's 2014, ffs.

Granted, there is an app for it but it's for Windows 8 only and nothing for Mac.

[The Moleman]

I'm by no means a grammar nazi but:

There/Their/They are.... Grrrrrrr

[VR46]

Heh, know what you mean, same with bought and brought.

[endo]

Confusing bought and brought is worse. At least there, they're and their are homophones. Bought and brought are completely different. I've no idea how anyone can confuse them.

Dog turd on the pavements. If you own a dog and do not clean up after it then your dog should be put down.

That'll learn ya!

[VR46]

Dog Turd or spitting, don't know what is worse

No wonder TB is East London never goes away

[noobish hat]

Banning spitting is ludicrous and more than a bit police-statey. More importantly, there are much bigger problems in the same area. Despite there supposedly being fines in place, there is dog **** everywhere. How about sorting that problem out before moving onto things that are both ridiculous and impossible to enforce. To class spitting as littering is so demented I don't know what to say. What about people walking along the street smoking? They give people cancer AND litter. Bigger fish, no?

How about realising the irk thread is both for serious irks and wishful thinking ones.......

[noobish hat]

It's not wishful thinking, some dumbass council has actually done it!
