The horror stories are highly exaggerated (in quantity, if not obnoxiousness). I'm not a huge user of XBL (I average something like 1-3 hours a week), but I use it fairly regularly and I've seen a total of one of them since the service started.Tharwen said:

I was playing TF2 once and I found this really helpful kid who must have been 12-14 judging by his voice who dared utter the words "Watch out Spy!" before he was shouted down by the entire server for daring to speak on the mic before his voice had fully developed. The Spy was me, he was the only one paying attention to spies on their team. They received no more warnings of spies. I ended the round with close to my record number for backstabs.
I'm sorry, was that the wrong kind of funny story?

I have my ways of dealing with them. If they're not extremely annoying then I'll leave them be and maybe turn my mic down, if they won't goddamn shut up then I make life hard for them, sometimes I'll betray and teabag them until they get me booted.
It's worth it to hear them scream though.

You've never played Counter Strike: Source before? Live is a haven of acceptance and intelligence compared to some of the servers I've played CSS on. Large public servers too, not the small private ones.Tharwen said:
On topic: Eh, I'm too lazy to plug a headset in, but I troll people on MW2 by playing like a dick. If there are annoying 12 year olds that don't shut the fuck up, I use Marathon, Lightweight and Commando with a Tac Knife on the medium maps, or if I'm playing a small map, the Riot Shield, RPG, Claymore, Scavenger, Danger Close and Commando. I then proceed to target the little kids as much as possible until they start raging about me. I find their whining highly amusing.
Only once, when I let one if my friends have my mic (bad move, in retrospect) we were playing Halo 3 and we heard a kid who sounded, at best 8 or so. My friend asked "how old are you, kid?"
He responded with a cocky "old enough to play this game and old enough to make you cry to your mommies"
We laughed our asses off for a good 10 minutes.

Ooooooo I got one. A 10 year old kid was trying to argue that he had sex with a 23 year old that went to his school.....My reply "......Who the fuck are you and why are you in my xbox party?"
Oh god, not CS:S that place is a harbor of racist, homophobic, childish, intolerant, eleven year olds. But honestly Xbox is MUCH worse, I have found people who literally TRY to piss me off. Example on Red Dead Redemption: Ok guys lets not have a spawn killing match for free roam, Everyone "Okay!". 20 seconds later;spawn killed for the 7th time, me "The fuck man, we agreed" him "Oh no, you're dead, oh I'm so sorry" Then he did the same like 4 times. Now I control his xbox account with his families credit cards on the account, Oh, a sword a damocleus has never seemed so sharp.Steppin Razor said:
Same here. For some reason there aren't much of the little kids on Reach. Unless I'm just really lucky.VanityGirl said:
Either way, score!
OT: Yeah, they're mostly true. No doubt some embellish the truth a bit, but they only seem to do so by a little.
But I can take it, I've played Counter Strike Source.
I had a guy that I think was at least 16+, his voice was mature, but he wasn't... I was playing invasion on Halo: Reach with him as my battle buddy, god it was annoying. He didn't stop talking the whole match... both rounds. He would always yell at everyone why they didn't kill the 3 enemies while they were by themselves. He had 2 favorite lines, it was either "NOOOOOOOOOOOO, KILL THEM, HOW HARD IS IT?!" or "You guys are f***ing pu$$ies, defend/attack the objective!" It was hilarious how he was only like the 5th best guy on our team of 6... I took out the scorpion and got at least a killing spree with it (not too hard but almost a frenzy and stop the core a couple times) but he complained when I died after getting hit with the plasma launcher with a banshee attacking me (killed it when I died). He called me a noob and worthless for that when I was #1 on our team and #2 in the game (objective and kill wise). I saw him get in the tank and die instantly. Guess what he did... Yea, you might have guessed it, he blamed everyone for not killing the banshee when he took the spartan laser AND the rocket launcher (saw him do it before he got the tank). I, myself of 20 years, do play with my younger cousin and a couple his friends (about 13/14 years of age) and we actually do somewhat well unless even against groups that seem like they are pro by the way they play. The only thing that matters is how to act, you can be silly, but don't be immature or a douche, which most people are on XBL.
i declare you winner sir, of this thread...that was win xDAjimboB said:
as for my own story..nothing too much. ties in though to the lady from earlier complaining about how females are treated in games
so, was playing Halo 3 with a old-HS friend, and his sister. we ended up doing a 2-flag CTF match on Valhalla 8-8. almost immediatly, she gets berrated, for being a girl that plays games. some guys asked for pics, one asked for her to make a vid, then comes the kid part..the kid brings up the lesbian thing,"Are you a lesbian? If so that is hot..you might be going to hell, but it is hot though." By this point she had enough..and thus the fun begins.
She begins a string of betrayel-kills on the kid, who never kicked her from the match, to the point where since our match was a stale-mate for awhile, some of the other team-members figured they could defend the kid, to the point of threating to get her banned.
now her brother usually ignores it or doesn't care much, they are the type of siblings who one minute are at each others back, next..they are all supportive and crap. this ended up being one of those moments. they teamed up, and well..we kinda almost lost xD if it wasn't for the kid finally leaving, we would have.
her betrayel medals totaled almost 30 by time it ended..never got to play any other matches with her though xD
Ok so I was playing the newest Aliens vs Predator on a Mixed Species Death match. It was me and my one X-box friend vs. two aliens. My friend was an alien and I was a predator and we were playing on a stage where doors would constantly open and close. I was in a room grabbing some weapons when my friend told me that one of the aliens was right outside of a closed door waiting to kill me when it opened. (Aliens can see through walls) So I got the instant kill spear ready and aimed it at the door. As soon as it opened the alien leaped at me and I took its head off with the spear. In the lobby after the game the kid started freaking out and claimed I hacked the game so that I knew he was there and how I was camping in the room. I told him that he was technically camping first by waiting outside of the room and told him to shut up since he could see me through the wall and would have known I had a spear ready for him.
You could always say you're just a 14 year old and that's why your voice is higher pitched :/AstylahAthrys said:
