If you're good at something, you should do it. If you're not good at something you should not do it. It's very simple. But for some reason [probably utter stupidity] a lot of people in a lot of different fields [who are sometimes good at the first one] keep assuming that they MUST be just as great, if not greater, at some other one.
The most famous of these is when an actor gets successful and assumes they must be great musicians too [Russel Crowe will NEVER receive enough crap for this] or vice versa. Yes, sometimes it does work out well. But rarely.
The one that's grating my cheese [best phrase ever] at the moment is [shock-horror!] in the realm of video games. Specifically, putting the wrong types of games on certain platforms. I'm going to start with something any one who has played this sort of ting will already know, RTS games are UTTER CRAP on gaming consoles. There is an exception here or there, but generally, they just suck. The sticks dont do enough, theres way more buttons then necessary, its just gay.
On the exact polar opposite of this pectrum is FPS games on computers. I'lll say right now, they all suck. Here, there are not enough buttons; keyboards just aren't ergonomic enough to be effective. And I don't care what people say about the mouse, it DOES NOT help with gameplay. Some sorts of more arcade-style shooters or hack-n-slash style game can work, but not always.
Don't really know how to end this interestingly. "Did you know that if you walked around the world, your hat would travel thirty feet more than your shoes??"
