What? I'm not getting paid for my opinion??!!??

None of the listed items bother me even a little bit, nevermind a lot. On 3, I generally have games sound turned very low or off.

I designed a number of computer games as a way to maintain an interest in learning programming languages back in the 80s. They got me through Basic, Pascal, C, and part way into Assembly language. The advent of object-oriented languages and the Windows platform, the allure of the web and web content, and other parts of my life conspired to end my programming and game creation days- but it was all good while it lasted. It's very satisfying to visualize something, design it, modify it, shine and polish it, and release it on an unsuspecting world. The world may yawn, but that's ok- creating the little monsters is its own reward and nobody can take that away from you.

I have a plan to monetize focus group participation. For a small fee I will give you additional commentary.
