So not really on the same topic as your post, but I found this today and I just can’t resist sharing. Mrs. Agathe’s dishwasher quit working so she called a repairman. Since she had to go to work the next day, she told him, I’ll leave the key under the mat. Fix the dishwasher, leave the bill on the counter, and I’ll mail you the check. Oh, and by the way don’t worry about my Doberman. He won’t bother you. But, whatever you do, do NOT under ANY circumstances talk to my parrot! When the repairman arrived at Mrs. Agathe’s apartment the next day, he discovered the biggest and meanest looking Doberman he had ever seen. But just as she had said, the dog simply laid there on the carpet, watching the repairman go about his business. However, the whole time the parrot drove him nuts with his incessant cursing, yelling and name-calling. Finally the repairman couldn’t contain himself any longer and yelled, Shut up, you stupid ugly bird! To which the parrot replied, Get him, Spike!

Agree! Especially on online shooters, they are the worst.

Oddly enough, i’ve also been playing SOCOM for quite a while as well. I have all 4 of them and I plan on getting Confrontation when it comes out. I’ve only played competitively in SOCOM 2.

Heck, for anyone who has a Playstation, pick up SOCOM: Confrontation that’s coming out in like, 3 months or so. I’ve been playing SOCOM for quite a while now, and even though I have had stints in other online games, I always go back to SOCOM because of the general community. Of course you always have the occasional jackass, but even that is pretty rare.

Chiz, you’re spot on about Xbox Live, and while some little kid just singing is on par with a guy spamming a chat channel, a little kid screaming profanity is far worse than anything I’ve ever encountered elsewhere. On Halo 3 at least, I just try and stick to the more serious playlists, where a much higher percentage of the population consists of skilled, friendly players.

There will always be assholes, but for them such things as the mute function and player feedback exist.

On another note, I’ve found that free online games like Kingdom of Loathing and Skyrates tend to have amazing communities, friendly and active, willing to help out new players and cooperate with their peers.

The issue with Xbox Live is that *everyone* has a headset at the ready. Just like in any other aspect of life, there are some people who want attention.

Some little kid singing into the mic is no different than someone in a PC game server spamming “DICKS DICKS DICKS” into the chat channel. The same issues exists, just via mediums of various annoyance.

That being said, this is a very well thought out article. I’ve always stuck to the same servers and played in friendly clans while online, so I can have a pleasant social experience alongside my gaming experience. With online play, these elements must go hand in hand.

I totally agree. I’ve been playing online FPS’s for a long time and this seems to be the case. PC games aren’t as bad as playing on XBox live. I guess its just the age level of the players on XBox live. Most kids these days have no respect..

So true! Got in to online gaming a few years ago, and got bored of public,lonely play a few weeks after I started playing. Everything got much better when I helped found the “public” clan that I’m in right now.
