4. A little bit of everything, except racers and MMOs
5. Only when I repeatedly get spawnkilled, or when there is blatantly no other players on my team*
6. No.
7.Nope.
8. Nein
9. Only when provoked, and even then you have to push me reeeeeaaaaally hard. I've gotten in one fight in all my days, and that was because the person in question was being a tool and I told them to eat a dick. I managed to at least get a draw.

*[sup]Example, I was playing Invasion on Halo a few weeks back and clearly all other members of my team were away having dinner or something, but left the Xbox on, since their characters didn't move. AT ALL. Especially annoying as I don't rage quit as a point of principle (rage quitters are the bane of my life)


Good luck with whatever you're doing
