1. Passwords: Don't you hate it when you forget your password and the recover password function fails? I do, and it bugs the hell out of me.

2. Internet Memes: I hate the damn things. The "Shoop-da-Whoop" Cell pic, the 50x50 smileys with the retarded grin, lol cats, etc. What's worse is that various flash cartoonists are using them as actual jokes as if they were the next Tex Avery. Well, if they keep it up; they'll join the other uncreative, one-joke losers in any future AFD collab.

3. Rina-Chan: No offense, but she's become stale and overexposed to the point of annoyance. While her voice skills are viable for flash cartoons, but for cartoons on the tv screen and the movie projector; she can't match the the talent of Susan Blu, Jessica Calvello, Marilyn Lightstone, and others who were in the business since the late '60s to the '90s. Just because she won a few awards in various anime conventions doesn't mean she's a voice-acting saint or demigoddess. Take a look at Cristina Vee; she was cast as Kanaria & Barasuishou in Rozen Maiden Traumend and I heard from various desuchan users that her takes on the characters are horrible. However, I haven't seen the english-dubbed Traumend, so I can't really comment. RTil said it the best: "Good Mic =/= Good voice actor." However, we do agree on certain things (I lurk on her forum from time to time).

4. Buzz-words and buzz-phrases: I'm with Maddox on this one because his article on these is so true. Is it so hard to spell "web log?" That is all "blogging" is; typing words with your keyboard on a website, which doesn't sound as cool when you call it what it really is. Don't get me started on all of those iPod related words, either.

5. Metal Gear: It (as in MGS4) just came out and the hype is pissing me off already. I don't care if it turned David Hayter from a shitty actor to a decent one, I don't care if it has Rob "Airraid & Slingshot" Paulsen & Paul "Peceptor" Eiding, and I don't care that Hideo Kojima is a great character designer. I never found any of the MGS games interesting or fun (Sons of Liberty was a boring-ass snooze-fest). Hopefully, the mega-collab would be fun to watch and not an overproduced, overhyped, poorly-thought-out, haphazarldly-planned disappointment that Nin10doh! was. It's time for Konami to let Hide-chan work on CastleVania and Gradius for once.

6. Space Invaders Extreme: It's sad to see a true work of digital art like this get overlooked, underrated, and damned to obscurity. Taito Corporation put their heart and soul into programming, drawing, composing, and designing this Nintendo DS masterpiece. It shows that they know that games should try to stay out the shadows of literature and film unless necissary.

7. Overused effects: Is there a good reason to overindulge in blur, bloom, or anything that requires a custom pc that has the power of six X-Box 360s? I understand that you want to wow the audience, but there are instances that it's completely unnecissary and reduces accessability (even on low quality). Blur effects in flash are starting to get dull; And when overused, at best it seems ludicrous and at worst, inaccessable and lag-prone on old machines like mine. I prefer to use frame-by-frame effects over filters because not only is it easier for me, but doesn't require the aforementioned custom pc to run it.

8. Iragination: It bothers me that he hasn't submitted anything since Fire Man: Incoming Storm, and that was a few years ago. After seeing his Bass Abyss game on his site; his programming skills are a welcome addition to those looking for one. I hope that he didn't forget his password...
