I'm a big video game fan and especially keen on Xbox and Xbox 360 (ever since the Dreamcast passed away R.I.P.) and spend a fair ammount of time on the forums over at
www.xbox.com. As with any forum there is plenty of complaining and whinging about anything and everything.
The biggest complaints are from people having to wait for content and updates. Now it might just be that I have lived through Spectrum gaming where you could go out and play football while you waited for your game to load or it might be that I'm getting older and can't be bothered to complain like they seem to. At the end of it though people want things yesterday and if they don't get it they'll do nothing but complain. Now this isn't just limited to Xbox forums and extends to our lifestyles now where everything has to be available now and if it isn't then there is hell to pay.
Why can't people just realise that things will happen when they happen. Most things have a reason behind why they take time and are usually business/legal/quality related. Yeah they could give you what you are after but do you want it to break within 5 minutes or be under cooked or to be wrong etc.
SLOW DOWN!!! The World isn't going anywhere and if you don't slow down you'll find that nature has its own way of slowing you down when you get so stressed about waiting more than 5 minutes for whatever you are waiting for.
