Hint: When making fun of people who suck at Sonic make fun of them correctly. Its Ground Run, Ramp Run THEN Ceiling Run. Not Ground Run, Ceiling Run, Ramp Run. FAIL GR.

Before this gen the biggest noob indicator for me was people who would flail the controller wildly when playing. Now its encouraged...how I hate motion control.

@Seabread You idiot, by making a point to say you don't care about being first, you have effectively become just as bad as the rest of the dumb first crowd...and in fact, I suspect you've been that dumb from the start.

As for the 360 laser burning...I worked at a retail store and received countless 360 games in my section that the front desk had taken in as defective...it's really sad that people are getting rewarded with new copies instead of learning from their mistakes.

Ugh... I absolutely hate the one about cutscenes! What's so freakin' hard about the transition from gameplay to cutscene and back again that some people just can't understand?

i do alot of the stuff on this list but i think you missed one. asking how to play during the tutorial with the controls up on the damn screen. every single one of my friends has done this while playing army of two and its painfully annoying.

Calling Sonic's Rings 'Coins'

Looks like Game Informer fails that one, LOL!!

A quote from their review of Sonic Unleashed:

"As much as I disliked lumbering through levels as Sonic’s hulky Werehog, I disliked hunting through the hub worlds looking for coins even more. Sega, if you really want to fix Sonic, the first thing you should do is stop trying to fix him."

But now I is more smarter.

Ah, GR have contradicted themselves. They say only a noob would drive carefully in GTA, yet in their "What if GR designed DLC?" feature, they came up with a GTA DLC for apologising to all the families whose relations you have killed. Of course, I think this came first, but that's not the point...
