Oh, for me this is more in relation to conventions. There are just some vids that don't seem to make it here but which I would really want to have a copy of. Actually, it's equally as frustrating when you don't find the video even though someone told you it already existed here

People who use Evangelion, Akira, and other overused anime... and then get angry to my opinion comment "next time use something less popular..."

"oh wait, this is just the introduction to the opposites."

My biggest: reading a video that sounds right up my alley and then finding out that it's not available to download. (Someone put this same beef above.)

There's a Tiny Snow Fairy Sugar video that sounds great, but it's AWOL.

Heh, I've gotten into the habit of responding to such shots with "Aaaaaand... CUT!" and hoping I timed it right.

Great.

Well I hate caps lock in the forums ._. A post with all caps lock to me destroy all the day.

One thing that really bothers me is when people apologize for something in their description

"Sorry for the Subtitles... but I was too lazy to take them out" is all I hear. There is a thread dedicated to tell you 3-4 different ways if I am not mistaken on how to remove subtitles. If you truly cared how you presented your video you would have looked at it and tried to fix it. People apologize for a lot of things in their video and at the end they say "It only took me 30 mins!!!" it disappoints me more so then it upsets me.

More than likely this has already been said, but subtitles have become increasingly annoying especially since there are multiple sites where raws of the episodes are available.

Oh and pretentious AMV creators. D:

sometimes that is not fair, but sometimes it goes by the saying 'no news is good news' or 'some things are better left unsaid'.

like on a few first videos I've reviewed (when the other has obviously since improved) I simply might comment 'I didn't like the concept', I don't want to go into his editing style as it's obviously changed since then. Some things are better left unsaid.

Other times (mostly on average videos) I may not have words to describe how INCREDIBLY mediocre it is, most of these follow the guides to a 'T' leaveing no enginuity or problems. For stuff like this I comment on everything/ anything but the editing style as well. No news is good news.

A lot of the time, I don't even think about downloading a video with a boring title. The way I see it, if someone doesn't care enough to come up with an interesting title, they probably don't put much effort into their videos. Granted, there are some great videos with crappy titles, but there aren't enough of them to change my opinion.

uhm-hmm... like naming them after PEOPLE! lol... heh, but I agree, 'Who let inuyasha out' sounds a million times better in the video description rather then... did somebody put 'Who let the dogs out' with Inuyasha?? That could be so hillarious!! OMG! *downloads

Even if nobody wants to play, I'm still keeping my name game open. After all, I'm sure someone will eventually decide they want 3 free opinions just for guessing a video's namesake correctly. Besides, all of my videos have a second title to keep them from being too unimaginative.

As for the rest of your post, I was saying that "Who Let Inuyasha Out?" did NOT sound like a very clever title, while it seems like you thought I was saying otherwise. Correct me if I'm wrong, though.
