I find it funny that everyone here is acting like it's only kids that act that way.

Somewhat ironic.

I was actually thinking the same way. Some people our age and even older are just as guilty of doing it.

People talk ****. Welcome to Online Gaming.

I solely blame gangsta rap, hipitty hop, slow connection porn downloading, and the bible for each and every instance of internet muscle flexing.

And how could I forget the human gene pool with no chlorine.

I resent that. I listen to said "hipitty hop", and it doesn't make me yell out curse words just to annoy people.


I mean, I do yell out curse words when I get frustrated, but it isn't because of music.

I think we're guilty of it here (most of us anyway) some do it because they think they are the ****. Other do it to get a good laugh. I know when am in a bad mood I would team kill for no apparent reason, granted its fun for me at someone elses expense. Usually I team kill a friend or the person talking crap to get them off the mic or something. I loved standing in front of people and saying "I don't like the way your looking at me" and pop them in the face.

But yea people who constantly talk smack and mean it are usaully people who can't do it up front in real life, like other said the fact that no one knows who you are allows them to do it easily.

Some people(I'm not talking about kids here) do it because they get really into the game and are very naturally competitive people. They try hard every game to win, so they can win and strive but when teammates hold them back from winning or if the other team just plays better it irritates the person so they competitiveness comes out and he speaks his mind.

Other people do it just to be funny, to get a good laugh out of it(when they aren't even being serious at all), while others do it just to simply get inside the person's head to take their game off.

This is mainly for people who talk **** a lot..not teamkilling.

I was playing the map with alot of grass I forgot the name but the bridge by the barn on the other side the building with the turret... well we were playing HQ and a group of us were running to it when this guy who had to be about 40 said dont go in. Not knowing why and not seeing anything wrong I ran in and every one got stuck in the door way witch led to our death and this guy started screaming at every one on our team.. I mean get mad yes but scream and yell no. I talk smack cause it gets me into the game, it makes me want to win.

Most of the time I run into internet tough guys they are about 20 years old and smoke pot chronically. Say one thing and they will spout insults at you which you may not understand due to their intoxication. They play (c)rap music at annoying levels. I don't hear as many kids on PSN as I did when I had a 360.

You basically just described the madden gamer community. Except you forgot that they all have kids.

Z3CH, thats why you have to join a madden league. You don't play with the cheaters and the morons. (As much at least. Most of them get kicked out quick)
