In this thread, rant on something. Anything that gets your blood boiling or your panties in a bunch or whatever.
You know what really grinds my gears?
Gintama is one of my favorite manga. It's hilarious, the characters are all likable for different reasons, and it doesn't take itself seriously at all... even when it is. I would LOVE to be able to own the anime of Gintama on Region 1 DVD or Blu-ray. The problem? Sentai Filmworks licensed it and they AREN'T GIVING IT A DUB. I have never watched more than a few episodes of an anime sub'd. I prefer dubs. If you like subs more, that's fine, but I don't. Almost all the time nowadays, an anime gets a high quality dub (not the horrible crap that created the stigma placed on dubs from more than 15 years ago or the "4Kids" treatment) AND still contains the original Japanese audio with English subtitles. It's a good system; everyone gets what they want. Occasionally, a less well known anime, such as Clanaad, comes around that has just enough of a fanbase to get a US release, but not enough to cover the costs of a dub. I understand this and I'm not speaking ill of those circumstances.
HOWEVER, Gintama is not one of those cases. Gintama already has an American fanbase that has been rooted by Viz's US release of the manga. Gintama is an action comedy, one of the few genres of anime that tend to sell very well in North America, not a short harem series based on a Japan only video game. It could have easily made enough revenue to cover the costs of the dub had it been marketed correctly, or AT ALL for that matter! As far as I know Sentai hasn't even put a banner ad on Anime News Network for Gintama's release, AND IT'S ALREADY IN STORES!!
Sentai Filmworks is going back and releasing Clanaad a second time now, this time with a dub. I can only hope that they decide to do the same for Gintama, but I haven't seen any indication that they will. Especially seeing as Gintama is a still running series, even having a movie due out soon, whereas Clanaad was a single boxed release.

F*CK YEAH, Sniper hating!
Well...
You Know what Really Grinds My Gears?
All those f*cking morons who think they're better than others just because they have a cool phone, alot of cool shit and so on
And also all the b*tches on CoDMW2 who just sit in a corner with a claymore waiting to be launched right near him, because his waiting for a victim to come and try to kill him, but it goes the other way around.
Then there are the other guys who just sit on roof tops with frikkishly strong weapons and n00btubes killing people...
F*ck all the campers in CoDMW2......
Then the idiots who think they own the place and that they can boss everyone around and make them treat him like a f*cking king.
And then there are the huge fucking idiots who think that Graphics, make a good game..
Seriously!
Who the f*ck would play a game just to stare at the screen and not even touch the controller!?
Gameplay is what's important!
Seriously, will you even notice the graphics if the story's awesome, gameplay's epic and the enviorments would be huge?
Well?
Hell no!
People didn't complain about GTASA having "bad" graphics.
No one complained because Pong has nothing but 2 sticks and a ball like square in it.
So like...The f*ck is the reason to choose graphics over gameplay?
F*ck, i don't even give a crap if a game would have worse graphics than Pong as long as it has good gameplay...
So yeah, that's pretty much all i came up with to rant about.
Wanna know what really grinds my gears? the increasing number of spammers getting Vip... at 1 in the morning xp
Hmmm,
one of the many things that "grinds my gears" is
the way everyone i know in real life plays CoDMW2 and has become so obsessed with it its unbelieveable.
MW2 is not just a game, it... is a way of life. PLAY OR DIE!!!!
And like they keep harrassing me to spend all this money on a game which i find quite frankly to be absolute fucking rubbish >.> dammit people LEARN THIS FACT
Hmmm what else
My internets disconnection every two seconds... yep thats a big one as well
Teachers who think that their subject is the most important thing that there will ever be in your life. And its okay for them to give you a ton of homework for the next day and expect it done ahead of important stuff like coursework.
Oh Oh I know,
The fact that women take about an hour to decide whether they want a certain bra or not, then they move onto the next one and take another hour. Dammit woman i don't want to hear all about your underwear problems I just wanna get home and go back to the bed you rudely awoken me from >.<
Hmmm...
People who like to disregard anything in order to get their way (my sister >:U) i mean she doesn't care that we could end up on the streets at any time, she just wants that expensive pair of shoes, or that expensive new car >.> I mean A) she won't wear the shoes and B) Her car is just a rubbish skip on wheels pfft
Oh oh oh professional footballers. Bunch of premadonnas and big girls blouse's. I mean they make waayyyy more money than everyone else for what? Doing their hobby, and they get adored for it? Oh and in a match whenever another player touches them when tackling they have to dive to the ground and act a total drama queen. When in fact it just makes them look like a bunch of simpletons. Get real >.>
It REALLY irritates me when no matter where you look or how you view it,women always find a way to make it seem like it's the men's fault

It also irritates me that men always fall for it,or just take it without a proper fight or decent backup
and reality shows have a habit of making it seem that only men can make mistakes

Wanna know what really grinds my gears?
- The fact that I got 5 copies of Super Smash Bros Brawl from gamestop,all looking nearly brand new,yet when I try to play them,they don't work even though all of my other games work fine.
- People that flame games/game characters for one measly reason.
- People that will not shut up when you tell 'em to.I mean it's like:
Person1: "Blah blah blah"
Person2: "Shut up,will ya?"
Person1: *continues to yap* - Getting rick roll'd.You get all hyped up over something that sounds interesting,just so you can watch a video with an ugly guy in it that just makes ya wanna say wtf or something.
And that people,is what really grinds my gears.

That happened to a lot of people, including me. It's because there's some dust in your Wii and Brawl is a dual-layered disc. You have three options.
1. Send your Wii to Nintendo for a free de-dusting. ...that sounds dirty.
2. Buy the cleaning kit for, like, $15. It's rip-off, but Nintendo takes FOREVER to send you back your Wii.
3. Just take the disc out and put it back in repeatedly until you get lucky and it reads. It will read
eventually, but it could, and probably will, take a while. Good luck with that. >:3

I see..Well,thanks for the info.Might try this stuff later. xP
That thing about Brawl got my blood boiling, too.
The same thing happens for Metroid Prime: Trilogy. >:(
People who judge on first impressions grinds my gears. Like most people think I'm just the nice, quiet guy, who goes to church every day, and doesn't know how to have fun, but to people that know me, I'm the life of the party.

There's people at my school that do that. They are called "Jehovah's Witness". One of them "Reads the bible for fun".
wanna know what really really grinds my gears? this: 03:07:24 PM Nothing, or nothing you can see...
S&SAR froze
It froze like any console game
I was like WTF!!!
I had to force a re-start
Also, when I sometimes when I start a race, the spacebar, right and drift keys are somehow stuck down.
I hit Ctrl+alt+delete, which minimizes the game.
And S&SAR takes FOREVER to come back up sometimes
And the times that it takes forever, I'm the equivalent of in 1st on the last course of the expert Grand Prix

Ok, what really pisses me off is people who go out and push their opinion. My mom is always trying to push her political view, guys forcing their religion on me, and people at school giving me shit because i smoke and drink, even though they have no goddamn clue what they are talking about, and just telling me the same things you can hear at Above the Influence and D.A.R.E. Damn political propaganda.
Oh, and the government.
