I hate...

[Vyreman]

Thanks a lot for the compassion, Snake33AU. It means much to me. Hopefully, it will be as you say, and I'll get to meet up with him in the future. Even if only as in the latter case; every now and then. I would be more than pleased with that.

It's been hard on me, I cannot deny that. I tried to hit him up on Facebook a few weeks ago and try to sort of befriend him again by sharing the fact that I had found an old invitation card to a birthday party of his from several years ago. I don't know, I thought I could get him all nostalgic as well, to the point he wanted to talk to me. Of course, nothing changed. Thinking about this situation further, I realize I have, since I stopped being with him, entered a different era of my life. Not just that, but one of very few eras my life will come to consist of. It makes you realize how short life is.

I seriously have no idea how we could grow apart like this, given just how close we were. We did so much together and spent so much time doing practically nothing. The latter was just as fine, because we did nothing together. Oh, and I realize I have the power to try to change this, by maybe giving him a call or asking if we could meet up, but it's unfortunately just not that easy to get into things again. I certainly wish it was.

Sorry if I'm coming off as a bit gay. But he WAS the closest friend I've ever had. I've had two other close friends as well, both from before this guy came into my life, but I haven't felt any regrets about growing apart from them. It felt more natural. And to be honest, I didn't at all have as much fun with any of them as with John Doe (as you shall know him as). The memories will live on, I suppose.

Ahh Vyreman, i haven't sat to consider how short life is yet (might be coz I'm only 24) oh wow, I nearly put my age as 23, lol, but yeah, I do realise time flies above our heads much faster than I'd want.

I know what you mean about these eras, and it's something that in a way is both necessary but often sad in a nostalgic way. To be honest, I've had a few best friends you could say, but unfortunately I don't always hang out with all of them. Although it's gotten to the point where two of them (one I've known since high school and one I've known for only two years) have become so close that I cannot imagine what it would be like if this friendship "dwindled" or "died down." In fact, even thinking further, and thinking that it would end is something that strikes me deep. A part of me would be taken away, and I wouldn't be the same. Sometimes change makes you different in a positive light, but losing these people would affect me very negatively.

How long since you spoke to him last? And yeah, nostalgia can get the better of people sometimes, so I hope it works. Even if he's sorta moved on, he cannot simply forget the good times (i know i get that way with some people I haven't seen in ages, and those who I don't have this major urge to immediately contact either). Ha ha man, nothing gay with having a friend really close like that. Almost family? And I agree, sometimes with my best friend(s) I don't mind even hanging out together and doing nothing, so long we're together. It's a deep feeling, a genuine one really.

Memories get the better of me too. I'm pretty... er... what's the word? I guess a historic romantic? lol. Sounds really corny but I couldn't think of any better word. I seem to romanticize about the past, get very nostalgic (I wouldn't be on this forum if Mega Man wasn't so influential as a child, lol) and I often sit and wonder, and remember the good old days. I know I can't please everyone, but a catch up with some old friends would be nice.

I do hope you do get to contact him again, coz losing a great friend like that must be pretty hard. Sometimes we move on but sometimes it's a lot harder. Strange though (and I will wrap this up) that this group of friends I had I was really really close to, used to hang out every weekend, thought this wouldn't change, but eventually we stopped seeing each other for months on end. I guess it's different with individuals. These two major friends I hang out with (one guy from highschool and one girl who I met from another friend) I cannot bare to imagine my life without them.  :? It would be like taking a piece of me away.

Anyways, sorry for the essay, lol, but I thought your story struck me very deep. My best wishes for you and your friend, and that the future be kind to you my friend.

Oh God I hate L4D also.  TF2 as well.  How could a company go from making such emotionally gripping single-player experiences and then go into total herp-derp togetherness mode?  Instead of HL3 we get overhyped mutliplayer stuff.  Laaame.

[CutmanMike]

L4D is fun with the right crowd. Get a bunch of friends together, crank the difficulty up and you'll have a good time.

Still not convinced about L4D2 though. It's kind of gone from survival horror just to survival LOLS IMO

[brotoad]

Left 4 Dead 2!
almost exactly like the first game but the black guy is fat!

I love L4D2 way more then L4D, except possibly character wise. But in terms of gameplay, L4D2 improved it in every aspect. In terms of infected, L4D2 improved it again.

And keep in mind, I pretty much hate most modern FPS's. I just love L4D for being so different, where team work actually is what makes you succeed or not. Well, I like pretty well all Valve titles.

I hate the fact Portal is considered a revolutionary title. If it wasn't for it's dark humour, the game would have been a flop. Sure the portals are nice, but the amount of levels and variation is severely lacking. I loved Glados but how short the friggin thing was left me starving for more. My Doom mod ZPortal was WHAHAHEEEEEEEEEY longer!

Alright. Thread cleaning time.

I said it before, I'll say it again. Keep it cool in here and don't flame. This thread for posting things you hate. Let's try to refrain from commenting on them, and trying to agitate people.

Next time I'll be locking this thread until I feel there has been enough of a cool down time.

[Camo Yoshi]

Thanks. I really didn't want to have to deal with that shit.

I actually loved Portal, short but sweet.

They're promising Portal 2 to be more complex, have more levels, and more obstacles.

That's also one of the reasons I liked Portal, it was simple and there isn't tons of stuff to memorize.

Glados is funny, but she's(?) nothing compared to SHODAN.

Damn bbcode, why can't we use regular 'ol HTML? It's easier!

That's actually another thing I hate, bbcode.

I like both the L4D series and TF2. It takes a lot more team-work to win than some previous multiplayer games *cough* Counter-Strike! *cough* lol.
Although it did feel like L4D1 was pretty much a MOD, it was still fun, and I liked the characters' personalities (something you don't get a lot in MP games). L4D2 I think went further. Sure, some people think it went over-the-top, but I think they just expanded it to it's fullest, and it's most fun with a group of your friends while spamming the mic about both things happening in game and just random shiz, lol.

TF2, is another winner. Not only did I prefer TFC over CS in the past, but this new TF seemed to go deeper. I also love the classes' personalities, very cartoonish but oh so amusing.

Wait, this thread is about stuff I hate? lol.
I hate people who join your team and do nothing but f*** around. =S It has happened in L4D a few times, which is why I prefer playing with people I know.

As for Portal, I haven't played much of it, but it intrigued me. Bleh, I still gotta play Ep 1 and 2 before 3 comes out (I have plenty of time, lol).

The few times I played CS online made me hate it
