And again you miss my point. You're making these statements as if they're facts. Like I said, if you don't like it, more power to you. You gave no reasons to back up your claims that all FPSes are the same, which suggests that you believe such claims to be factual. That said, let's just leave it at this because every time we clash on this kind of thing, we take several pages of arguing back and forth in circles and I'm sure we can both appreciate avoiding that. A fair argument, but let's get to the next part of your response: This is approximately what I was about to say on the subject. Except for the last bit. I bring up my initial point that formulaic content is not inherently a bad thing. I think it is perfectly reasonable to dislike something formulaic so long as you aren't hypocritical about it. Part of my original point on this matter was the hypocrisy of people who hate games like Dynasty Warriors and Zelda on the grounds of it being formula, then turn around and play Call of Duty or Madden. I'm kind of tempted to sig that last sentence.

Because it's a point that's been made before that I don't care to go into. That's the same reason I didn't launch into a huge explanation about how FFXII retconned FFT. Cracked has an article that explains how & why FPS games have grown stagnant. I don't remember the title, though, I think it was about modern videogame trends in general.
We do? I don't remember this.
Indeed.

Apparently they're the Sydney tigers now, or something, I havn't really been paying attention since that Super league business.

I know this due to being friends with a guy back in high school who was obsessed with not only the NRL, but that team in particular.

Balmain particular of the Mid 80s were fucking awesome though.

Aside from the typical hates of Twilight and Beiber.
Jonas Brother Many so called "punk" bands Basketball - I use to be okay with it but trying going to a school that was so fucking obsessed with the Lakers. American Football - seriously. Here is a condom. Go have sex with Tebow already. America's Best Dance Crew - again people are too obsessed. Naruto Apple - More because the users are such stuck-up assholes. Call of Duty - again because of the people there.
Edit:
Vampire Diaries Gossip Girl Many memes frankly

Cut the crap and get to listing, bitches. - Whiny folk in online games - You all know the kind. The whiny, perhaps nasally, little twat that gets bitchy when someone so much as mentions that they might not be the almighty shit. God forbid if you beat them, or soundly decimate the everloving fuck out of them.
- "Uber hardcore" gamers - The fuckers who take shit waaaaaaaay too seriously, who think their kill-death ratio is a measure of their masculinity or some shit. Its not a dick measuring competition, its a place where I can safely blow your brains out without actually putting a literal bullet in your head.
- Other so-called "gamers" - I could go into gratuitous detail on why and how you bastards are sucking the life out of a good portion of the industry like the creativity vampires you are...but someone's already done that for me. I'm also lazy.

Final Fantasy
Football video games. I haven't liked them since NFL Blitz.
World of Warcraft. I tried playing it and just... didn't find myself liking it that much. I guess it's a problem when I didn't have a good computer for playing it but...
Most of the Adult Swim shows that are being made. NTSF:SD:SUV, Tim and Eric, Childrens Hospital, etc., those really idiotic shows that rot your brain I just can't find myself liking. I'll watch Childrens Hospital sometimes depending on the guest stars but other than that... eugh. Not even Captain Janeway can make me watch NTSF:SD:SUV. Sorry!
Peas. How can anyone like them? They're all slimy and icky and eugh.
Sushi. I just... I vomited the first time I tried it. No thanks. D: I love Asian food otherwise but Sushi just doesn't sit right with me.
Megan Fox. Oh God. How do I hate thee? I also hate Olivia Wilde for many of the same reasons. What reasons? That everyone seems to fall over themselves for them and they can't really act what so ever. They are a product of so-called beauty (which I don't even see their beauty to begin with) and it just... yeah. Olivia Wilde ruined House MD and I'll never forgive her for it.
Kal Penn. Just disappear please.
Apple. I hate the business practices, I hate the products... I even hated the man. I also hate the iTards who have knee-jerk reactions to any negative remark to Apple.

I'm sure that I could expand on this list later, but to start, I just want to rip on Avatar a little.
I thought the acting was crappy and the plot was mediocre at best (I didn't see the whole thing, but what I saw was pretty lame). About the only real thing the movie could have going for it is the graphics, and even those are meh.
Oh, and I totally agree with some of the hate towards Family Guy. Too many cutaway gags that are pretty much useless filler, and a very heavy handed and avnilicious approach to the writer's point of view that has only gotten worse as the series has progressed. I enjoyed the show for a time, but slowly it became stale and annoying.
