This Week in Rage

Customer service Lines. Let me explain something to you. having an automated voice try to guide you to an answer is about effective as fighting a war with paintball guns. you might hit your target, but you're not gonna receive the desired effect. So please why can't I just talk to a human being if that's what's gonna end up happening anyway, you're an automaton middle man so I can talk to another middle man. How about this, I call you up and I get press 1 for english  2 for spanish and that's fucking it, let me talk to a person who is capable of understanding that I don't want to be talking to this person any longer than I have to, what is essentially a business transaction is being streached into a inconvenience for myself.

Paying for shit that used to be free. Remember when cheat codes were free? Well EA reached a new level of making you pay for your game well after you've started playing it by offering the Time is Money DLC pack that unlocks all the locations and skater items, it's 400 MS points which is roughly $5. You may remember in Madden 07 they did the same thing for each team's throwback jersey and classic stadiums for the Xbox 360 that were included (for free) on the PS2. I'm sorry, microtransactions are the epitome of evil, nickle and diming someone who just dished out $60 for a game and then charging them another $5 for all the content is a bit, um, douchey.

Light beer. I shouldn't have to try to remember what beer tastes like, unlike many of my contemporaries I don't just drink beer to get drunk, sure, that serves a secondary purpose, but if I'm drinking something, I want to enjoy it. I speaking specifically to the corona/ budlight/ natty light fuck tards. you are the reason why the drinking age is 21, shit, I would raise it to 50 if all you plan on buying is that piss water beer, I would give an 8 year old child a yuengling black and tan just cause I know it's gonna keep him busy for a while, mean while he's drank four bud lights before the end of the first quarter. Long time readers may notice my bias towards Yuengling, you know why that is? It costs just as much (if not less in some places) than bud light and guess what? IT'S STILL FUCKING AMERICAN MADE! now granted, yuengling makes light versions of their products, but point is, light beer, specifically bud light, is used only by those who are using it as a means to an end, cause there is no way you think that shit tastes good.
