Can we be friends online?

[Marik2]

To be specific I mean can we be friends on any platform that has an online service (XBL,PSN, and Steam) I ask this question since I sometimes see posts about people not wanting to get on any kind of multiplayer, because of all the racists and idiots that flood online gaming.

So I ask the people of the escapist if we can all be friends on all platforms, because you guys are all intelligent and mature and I'm sure if we team up on games like MW2 or any games that have multiplayer we would have loads of fun. If you want to add me as a friend my username is my gamertag and PSN ID, I'd be more than happy to be your friend.

So no one wants to be friends with each other?

I game alone

I game alone, yeah, with nobody else.
I game alone, yeah, with nobody else.
Yeah, you know when I game alone, I prefer to be by myself.

Now, every morning, just before breakfast,
I don't want no coffee or tea.
Just me and my good buddy xbox.
That's all I ever need.

Cause I game alone, yeah, with nobody else.
I game alone, yeah, with nobody else.
Yeah, you know when I game alone, I prefer to be by myself.

Now, the other night I lay sleeping,
And I woke from a terrible dream.
So I called up my pal, Marcus Fenix,
And his partner Dom.

And we gamed alone, yeah, with nobody else.
We gamed alone, yeah, with nobody else.
Yeah, you know when I game alone, I prefer to be by myself.

Well, the other night I got invited to a party,
But I stayed home instead.
Just me and my pal Troll Hunter,
And his brothers uber and pet.

And we gamed alone, yeah, with nobody else.
We gamed alone, yeah, with nobody else.
Yeah, you know when I game alone, I prefer to be by myself.

Well, my whole family done give up on me,
And it makes me feel so bad.
The only one who'll hang out with me
Is my dear old Gamecube.

And we game alone, yeah, with nobody else.
We game alone, yeah, with nobody else.
Yeah, you know when I game alone, I prefer to be by myself.

P.S.

Sorry George Thorogood

Give it a little time, I'm sure someone will take you up on your offer.

Personally, I don't play too much MPs that require actual communication or coordination beyond an occasional message and when I do play FPSs or fast-paced RTSs, I usually partner up with people whom I know from outside of the internet.

Of course it's possible, it's just a matter of finding the people who aren't idiots and adding them to your friends list. People are idiots, and online services are no exception: it's just a matter of finding the people who don't fit the stereotype.

 

[JokerCrowe]

Sure, I can be your friend, but I am an idiot... so are you sure?

It's weird since everytime I get on XBL I'm never paired up with racists or dumbasses. I always get paired up with decent people who just like to play games. I've only experienced racism one time on MW2, but that's about it.

 

[SnootyEnglishman]

I'd like to be your friend..but i don't play online much anymore because i've no money to get the cards. But if i do you can find me on the L4D or L4D2 servers since that is what i like playing most.

 

[Hazy]

I'm not on XBL, yet I am on PSN quite a bit.

You seem cool enough - after all, you seem to know about Mikuru. That's a plus.

I shall give ye' an add when I can get on.

Depends, are you like this person? If not then you can be my friend.

Currently I'm playing Gears of War 2 (I just got it) and love playing Co-Op with people and Horde mode after I beat the game I will be on PSN with Uncharted 2.

OMG that's toally me!!
Just kidding, I'm absolutely nothing like that guy. I just said I was an idiot because I make stupid joke all the time (like saying I'm an idiot). But people like that Online Gamer just disgust me. And I'd like some friends on my PSN profile : )
It's "bionarie" by the way, I play mostly Bioshock 2 multi and Uncharted 2 (and sometimes LBP)

 

[Armored Prayer]

Sure I don't mind.

But I warn you my little brother plays online much more than I do, so you might mistake him for me.

You can check out my Gamertag on my profile if anyone wishes to be my friend.

Edit: Ha! 3232 posts.

 

[Marik2]

I give you this [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/groups/view/The-Organisation]

And that's my cue to exit.

Why thank you for that I wish there would be more members though. Like 90% of the escapist or something like that, but I'm happy that I got invited.

Well sometimes it happens. I haven't seen racism all that much, but I've seen plenty of stupid people who think they're cool for using cheap tactics and using every obscenity in the book to insult you. There are a lot of them on Halo, and an unfortunate amount on Gears of War 2 now, which is my main online game. Most people don't even have mics, so whatever, but those who do... mixed results.

Yeah, no problem. Another Gears-playing friend is always welcome. Give me a while to finish Final Fantasy XIII and I'd be happy to play with you. Make sure to try the multiplayer though: if you have some friends playing, it can be a really good experience. My advice for now: learn to use the shotgun without melee, and don't chainsaw. Seriously, those are the two main imbalances of the game, something Epic seriously needs to adjust. For now, I try to fight with honor, as we all did in Gears of War 1. Anyway...

Seriously though, Final Fantasy XIII. See you in a week or so.
