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.

Darth Maul ain’t so bad.

Everyone is a beautiful butterfly in their own way.

Some…literally.

It seems like nowadays the movie industry is only interested in remaking popular movies instead of creating new stuff from scratch and along with remaking movies comes the daunting task of re-casting the characters.

If you love video games and hate it when someone tries to stop them from being made and distributed, today is your day to celebrate.

The biggest shit-stirrer when it comes to video games, laywer Jack Thompson, should be permanently disbarred in 30 days.

Meaning companies like Rockstar, the makers of Grand Theft Auto can temporarily breath a collective sigh of relief because they won’t have him around to hassle them anymore.

The Court approves the corrected referee’s report and John Bruce Thompson is permanently disbarred, effective thirty days from the date of this order so that respondent can close out his practice and protect the interests of existing clients. If respondent notifies the Court in writing that he is no longer practicing and does not need the thirty days to protect existing clients, this Court will enter an order making the permanent disbarment effective immediately. Respondent shall accept no new business from the date this order is filed.

It wasn’t video games that made me want to be violent, it was Jack Thompson trying to stop me from playing these video games.

So I am very pleased to see this guy put out of commission.

BOOM, headshot!

A sad day indeed…
