There are so many times that I’ve muted everyone, switched to single player or simply thrown my headset across the room when dealing with all the little idiots that I meet while trying to play some Xbox Live.
Be it racist, homophobic, childish or just plain annoying…these are the people who ruin every online game I play.
Since I choose to play shooters mostly it seems that I’m more likely to meet up with these asshats and made to suffer playing with and against the dregs of this online society.
Recently I began to force myself to play against these people anyway, hoping to meet one or two new people that I could actually add to my friends list but even then it seemed futile.
But just last week I found a site called GeezerGamers.com, a website devoted to hooking up more mature players for Xbox Live and other online gaming platforms.
I still haven’t had the time to actually join up with many players yet but so far so good. The forums are filled with friendly, helpful individuals who seem to be looking for the exact same gaming experience as I am.
Hopefully with time I will build a proper friends list and not be subjected to the immature race of mutants that have been plaguing my PvP.
It’s hard to feel good about yourself when you just told a 12-year-old to “Shut the F#*& up!” because he’s been singing through an entire death match.
