Game culture by title (none / 0)
Yeah. Back when I was playing Halo 3, I met a few people I wouldn't have minded playing with again. But these days, playing games like Modern Warfare 2 and Left 4 Dead, all I ever meet are assholes (who throw "Halo player," among other things, around like it's the worst possible insult). It's fascinating how each game has its own culture and attracts different types of players in different numbers. Somehow I doubt I'd run into an angry 20-year-old who calls everyone "faggot" playing something like Xbox Live Uno.

My favorite (none / 0)

are the people who are only concerned with winning. The game is supposed to be fun. Win or lose, you should have fun doing it.  But some people are just obsessed with leveling up and rankings and blah blah blah, so they'll pull their plugs if you start to beat them.  It's obnoxious.

I also love it when people leave loud music on in the background so you can hear it through their headset.  Thanks for that.  Or when they belch, or yell racial slurs at you.  Fun!

The more I think about it, why do I even bother playing online?  Single player or local multi-player games are the way to go. 

Speaking of local, why do so many games leave out split-screen multi-player nowadays?  Damn kids.  Get off my lawn!
