Things that annoy the hell out of me


Who the hell is that Animal Crossing game being sold to? The commercials make it look like it's got to be the most boring game in the history of gaming, and the women playing it in the commercials have this fake sound to their smiling conversation - like they can't even get enough enthusiasm together to really sell it -- but what's there to sell? The graphics look like they suck and the characters look like Weebles or the Fisher Price people. If it's supposed to be like the Sims for little kids, as my generous husband offered, then why are there GROWN women playing the game in the commercials? I would like to know if anyone actually buys this game and if they regret it after having played it.

On Amazon.com, it got an "A" rating by the staff of 1Up.com. The reviewer said: "OK, I know it sounds super lame, but trust me—it's a blast." Okay, they should make the commercials a little less boring, then.
