What's with the ever increasing trend of giving gifts to teachers on the last day of school. The amount of shit that's carted into school on the last day is ridiculous. Wine, whisky, spa vouchers, chocolates etc I've even heard of cash changing hands. What the fuck is wrong with people?!

Fuck that shit.

No, I meant "so..." the modern way of answering a question with "so"....then the answer.....

My subjects of vitriol this morning:

- Skinny jeans. Aside from people under 25 who don't require bloodflow in their legs, nobody actually wants skinny jeans, do they? Yet that's increasingly what we're offered. I prefer loose jeans (i.e. fat bastard jeans), and many places don't even sell them anymore.

- Will Ferrell.

- The fact that the Simpsons is still churning out shite when it should have ended 20 years ago.

See, if we did a guilty pleasures thread, he'd definitely be on my list :P

For reasons I can't entirely justify, I can't stand the man.

The even more annoying thing is that by all accounts he seems to be a genuinely nice person. :x

YouTube cunts who seem to be obsessed with saying the word "meta" every 10 seconds during game videos.

I also can't stand Will Ferrell

Those people who claim to hate the word 'gameplay' in an attempt to be edgy.

Yeah, PC Gamer went through a phase where they tried to argue that "gameplay" doesn't really mean anything. Everyone seems to understand what it means, though - all PCG did was confuse matters by insisting that a broad term wasn't precise enough to be useful.

Subscriptions.

Subscriptions everywhere! Something as simple as you want a word processor on IOS? How about you pay £5 a month instead of offering a simple buy option. What are you paying for? Fuck knows because most use icloud and dropbox for backups so I guess youre paying £60 a year for patches? Something like Scrivener is only £45 on desktop and £20 on IOS so a year of something like Werdsmith and you could outright own Scrivener on two platforms! I dont get it!

Game subs, Adobe subs, subs within your amazon video sub, subs in subway in a submarine. Too many subs!

How about they offer a single price but drop all support after a year? Curious - I'm not a massive fan of SAAS myself but that's the reason why.

What's a saas? Apart from something gay guys dish out to all and sundry.
