Or how about a roll and square/sliced sausage with a tattie scone and brown sauce? Oh yes.MarsProbe said:
But also, I've never heard that insult before - it doesn't seem to make any sense anyway :S
It would be something though for your TV to suddenly start shouting at you back in the days of Lylat wars wouldn't it?CTU_Loscombe said:
"Hey Fox,get this guy off me.Fox!I'm hit!...Oh that's just great Fox,now I'm dead because of you and your pansy shooting skills.What are you,an idiot?How in the name of General Pepper did you ever even be allowed the keys to the arwing!?You know what?I quit!"
Now,in the guy's defense,I've found people my own age-nineteen-and older online who are complete jackasses.I only got into online gaming recently to be fair,as up until now I couldn't afford a console that allowed it,but now I have my PC.I picked up Left 4 Dead in the Steam sale,and played it for weeks.So many times I saw people being kicked because they were shouting down the mic,or just generally being an idiot.I generally don't use mic's,mostly because I don't have one,but when I have the option when playing at my brother's house with him on his 360,I'll pass on using the headset.I don't want to have to listen to some guy screaming in my eye,whether they be prepubescent or post.
And let's face it,I would be willing to bet that the majority of us did not stick to the guidelines set out on games.I know I didn't.My older brother's said it was okay,and that was good enough,as they censored me on everything,whether it be games,books or movies.If they said it was okay,I was allowed to play.If they said no,I left it,knowing that I'd get there anyway.But usually,they'd judge it,and say that it was fine.I doubt I'm the only one on here who played a mature rated game before their eighteenth birthday.

...But holy shit on rye, that block needs some freakin' punctuation! My OP friend, you write like a 7 year old.
High pitched voices are generally fairly annoying, at least when they won't shut up, which is unfortunately too many young'ns. Also it's really hard to get them to do anything often. While he claims to be different, everyone is a dick on the internet now and again. No one is really different. 14 year olds just aren't mature enough most of the time to know when to stop.Mr.Petey said:
it's pitch not tone that is annoying but I understand your pointconnall said:
The problem is all 14 years claim to be better than other 14 year olds, unfortunately on the whole they just aren't mature enough and break down at some point. I understand it can be tough with being heckled constantly but honestly I don't even use my mic that often unless I need to relay data. You don't need to use your mic, not unless you are relaying tactical info only, if you say something and someone calls you out. Don't reply, just keep your talking down to info only and they really can't complain that you're helping.
People are always going to be assholes, unless the animosity of the internet is broken there is currently next to no repercussions for being a total ass on the internet, no one knows who are and getting banned from a single server isn't a big deal in the grand scheme.
If your looking for change then your out of luck until you start changing. I've been playing games forever, when I was 15ish games first starting getting voip and I got the same treatment, so I just stopped using a mic.
Also, godofallu makes a good point, you're technically not supposed to be in most of those games, Teen and Mature so being squeaky doesn't help that people already don't really want you there by merit of your age
That's no good reason- what about all the women out there? Do you think I should be forbidden from online talking because I don't have as much testosterone?godofallu said:
I'm not much for kids being online- such activities tend to form bad habits -but if you're genuinely interested in being a good sport, then you'll have to search for people who also put that first. Its like how I have to sometimes search for people who won't yell, "Tits or GTFO."
I've never been one for brown sauce/tomato sauce really but yeh, a roll with both sausage and tattie scone is brilliant! Pity there's nowhere I could get one at this hour... Another insult we often here is because we're Scottish we're poor and homeless and living in a game. Though then you just ask them how we're able to sit playing a game on XBL if that's the case.MisterM2402 said:Or how about a roll and square/sliced sausage with a tattie scone and brown sauce?

The voice can be annoying as kids often have their mics way too loud.
They often ramble/talk a lot and say things that are completely irrelevant to the game/situation.
Use excessive profanity in a poorly skilled manner, making them sound dumb. I don't have a problem. I can be quite vulgar myself, it's about how and when you deliver it.
Adults can be just as bad. I go in a case by case basis. If you don't do those things, I don't care who you are and I don't mind playing with you. All that being said, the gaming community isn't like it used to be and I don't enjoy online games with strangers nearly as much as I did years ago.
And I fucking HATE the dumbass names people use in games these days. Especially shooter game players. They should be PRONOUNCEABLE and not idiotic gibberish and weird symbols.

I dont mind playing with young uns - i mean to be fair my main game is wow these days its hard to escape you lot (;P joke joke wink wink nudge nudge). Nah I mean geniunely i dont mind, just so long as i'm not subjected to you being immature, yeah we all have a laugh but i grow tired of really young guys trolling. Voice wise? not bothered, L4D2 speak is all good and when I come across you guys generally there isnt a problem, just dont mass spam the "hey! ....hey guys!........hey I need attention" that gets boring real fast.
You yourself have spoken relatively maturely here so go figure you'd likely be safe from the mute button

How high or low a person's voice is does not bother me. What does bother me is if they act immature. I don't like to talk to or listen to people like that so I usually mute everyone in the lobby before the match starts. The only time I will not mute someone is if they are on my friends list.
