Okay, incredibly lame pun, but you get the idea!

Continues on from the last one; what really grinds your gears?

When non-gamers feel the need to berate you about your interests.

M$, specifically their customer scervice, I disabled my live auto renewal before, on the internet, they have since disabled that option, I am now going to have to phone them T-T this is going to take a very long time, will probobally auto renew before anything gets done.

No they haven't, you just have to make sure you're going to the right place to do it.

I agree with the person above you, I can't find the option either. They must have hid it really well. Since I coudn't find it, I just took my Credit Card info off so it can't be used no more.

You know what grinds my gears? People who bought MW2 and a console at X-Mas an call themselves gamers. It really annoys me how so many people at school have played MW2 and think it's the greatest game ever because it's like the only game they've played. Pop culture can piss me off sometimes <_<

Sunlight. Sure light and warmth are nice, especially after a damn cold winter, but ToJKa function properly not direct sunlight in.

This. So very much this.

Also my friend trash talking Team Fortress 2 when he knows nothing about it, just because it's not an uber-dull modern shooter.

Oh its there, in a way, I know how to take it off, did before, go on your account, then you will see "auto renewal" it should be "ON/OFF" you used to be able to clikcit and turn it off, now its not clickable.
I knew they were pathetic (clicking it made you need to click through like 7 ads saying "cancelling you mis out on X") but removing it is just low, make it easy to get me to pay, then make me almost totally unaware of auto renewal then make it hard to stop auto renewal.

1. xbox.com/accounts
2. Click "membership level"
3. Click where it says "automatic renewal: ON"
4. Turn off.

If you try doing it just at the first page, it won't be clickable. You have to go to "membership level" first. MS doesn't like making it too easy for you .

Try it now, you cant click autorenewal, you could before but cant now.

My auto-renewal is already set to "off," so I couldn't click it anyway :shrug:.

I HATE THAT!

I was talking about how PC gaming is superior to console gaming and they are like "Psh? How plays on the PC?" ONLY 11 MILLION PEOPLE ON WOW ALONE!!!
Plus when I said a machine gun was like the Heavy's in TF2, friend said "Who plays TF2? psh!". I hate when people are so single narrow minded and don't consider things around them instead of the [censored] they get fed to them via Pop Culture... <_<

That doesn't just go for games, it's music and other types of media.

Paraguay grinds my gears, why couldn't you just forfeit? Nobody cares if you guys get into the knockout round.

Also woot, I guess this counts as my most successful thread ever.

I'm gold and also want to turn it off, but it's still not clickable for me, even in membership level <_<

After googling around, apparently M$ made it so you can only turn off auto-renew in the US, Germany and Taiwan or something.

[censored] YOU, MICROSOFT! YOU MONEY GRABBING, INSINCERE, UNETHICAL BASTARDS!!!!!! :meh: :nuke: :swear: :flame: :brokencomputer:

Just tried contacting M$, 5 mins of music on the phone I give up, not to mention I would then have to spell everything, XBL is too much trouble.

The thing I don't understand is surely it's cheaper for them to make it possible to cancel subscriptions online than hire several office blocks full of gormless employees.

That's it Micro$oft, I'm buying a PS3.

But making it harder to cancel 1o mins of music, employess you cant understand and words you must spell out, making it as difficult as possible puts people off, helping to keep them on XBL.

It seems to me if they don't care or don't want to listen you shouldn't keep bringing it up, I would get annoyed if someone kept telling me their way is better. Also from what I hear the port of the orange box isn't very good, so it would make sense that they dismiss team fortress. It seems hypocritical to criticize them for not seeing your side of it when you aren't seeing theirs.

Time zones, how do they work?

I usually find out what time it is for someone else, by reading a quote, quotes show what their time is.

You know what grinds my gears?

[censored] magnets.

What's the big deal with putting the title gamer on a piedestal? If someone plays games, they're a gamer. Simple as. It is frustrating though when people voice an opinion on a subject they know nothing about.

When people start a question thread and never stay long enough for the answers or don't come back and read the answers at all.

What grinds my gears? A few things:

Tailgaters. These idiots think nothing about jeopardizing your safety (and theirs) by driving right up your tailpipe at 70 mph. Stupid.

Morons who say Movies/Vidoe game/ Music etc is the cause of violence in youth. Idiots have been saying crap like that for far too long. First, it was adventure stories (like Tarzan or 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea). Then it was pulp magazines. Then, moving pictures. Then, comic books. Then, Rock N' Roll (The Beatles were Evil Incarnate, according to these idiots). Then, television. Then, video games. Now, it's Hip Hop and technology. They never, ever point the finger at the true cause. Who was it that allowed these youths to: Read these stories? The pulp magazines? The comic books? Watch the moving pictures? Listen to Rock N' Roll? Watch television? Play video games? Listen to Hip Hop? Who was it? The PARENTS!!! Violence starts at home. When I was young, I watched violent movies (I first saw A Nightmare on Elm Street when I was around 10). I played violent video games (Mortal Kombat!). I listened to Rock N' Roll. I read: comic books, fanatsy novels, science fiction, horror, you name it. I did all of that and I wasn't a 'violent youth'. Why? Because of my parents. They took an active role interest in every aspect of my life. The weren't control freaks, but there were there to say "This isn't okay in real life. It's done/said in movies/books/songs/TV shows/video games etc, but those aren't real."

When someone say "You're not a true gamer because you don't like (game title)."

Stupid labels that are divisive. "African American." "Native American." "Black Person." "White Person". "Redskin." Labels like that tend to lead to trouble because the highlight unimportant differences. Why can't we all just be "People"?
