I Love Mondays - 06/25/12

Namaste, Mr. Garritto, namaste.

When Ryan started talking about being pumped for the Olympics I thought he was gonna say that game was gonna be this weeks TNT. rats

@SaturdayNightSpecials: he's being a poor sport by complaining about unfairness, and I'm saying that's stupid; the same goes for someone being worried about someone like him. there's no irony in that situation.

This is amazing. I just showed it to one of my friends who's a huge Tool fan.

@Scodiac said:

I think he was talking about himself in that message to Jeff.

Looking forward to seeing some Dawnguard!

I don't know what your talking about. It looks like you misspelled DongGuard.

Steam sale on Thursday! Buy more games I won't play!

They need to look at the TF2 update this week. The Pyro is finally get their "meet the" video.

Lol, stupid fucking xbox tough guys.

Also, fuck off with protecting this guys GT. Those types of assholes deserve no pity.

Now you guys have like, decent video recording equipment, you couldn't like, do us a favour and maybe USE THE FUCKING GOOD CAMERAS.

No, but seriously, fuck using this shitty phone. Brad is trying to fucking deafen me and I have to strain to even hear anyone he points the camera at. Please. Just, do it.

Well, a lot of people, me included, actually enjoy this format more than the more "formal" ILoveMondays.

You misunderstood me, I have nothing against this format for the show, I just wish they would use a real camera instead of a phone, so my ears don't explode. @Phatmac: Also, this comment came across way more angry than I intended.

Yes, agreed. The audio is quite unfortunate in these videos, but I don't really mind the format itself.

Phantasy Star Online 2, Japanese Quick Look! Make it happen!

The Phantasy Star twitterbox seems like it may be leading up to a an announcement for a western version too though.

@CoKy14:

I feel exactly the same way. What a twunt

Open letter to Mr. Garritto,

Andrea Pirlo.

That is all.

Spiderman and Dawnguard!? Ooooooooooooooohhhhhh. I'm excited!

Angry post-multiplayer messages from rude internet dudes are the best. This is the best one that ever happened to me:

It sounded like he was reading his insults.

Name and shame.

One of the main reasons I don't play multiplayer at all. It's just not worth dealing with all the worthless, entitled scumbags who have no perspective on reality.

i just sent a message to him saying what he said to Jeff in google translate!

Recettear was like my favorite game of 2011. So sad XBLA is ripping it off. :(

That dude is the reason I hardly use internet and I don't connect my PS3 to the net. It's full of d-bags I don't want to have to listen to. I deal with enough at work, I don't need those lifeless tools invading my personal time.

Has Mr Garrito gone crazy yet?

I used to love getting hate mail back in the Halo 3 days. I would just laugh at them.

the best i had was this guy kept harassing me for months saying i had stole his xbox live tag,seeing as i was a live beta tester on first xbox i think he was wrong somehow :)

Eloquence? From a guy with a scouse accent? Haha.

This was good. Thanks.

Brad can read & write Japanese? Huh.

Spec Ops the Line isn't available in the UK so i find it ironic he's calling Jeff a hacker since he has obviously pirated the game on his modded Xbox 360.

Go at it folks, send him some abuse.

Was that guy reading from a script? Has he actually written a perfectly timed script for Xbox Live Voice Messages? That's really sad. What's even sadder is that his accent sounds a bit like where I'm from.

It also seems like Ryan is way more excited for the Olympics than the majority of people in the UK. World Tour.......?

They're not that into TF2, it'll probably get a slight mention at the very least.

And yeah, you should have blurred out the name. I don't care if people give him some shit, but these things can get out of hand quickly.

So it's okay for the guy who sent the message to be crass, uncivil and abusive but Jeff's in the wrong for showing his name? Wait, what? Perhaps if the guy who left the message decided to act like a human being instead of the scum of humanity he wouldn't have had to worry about it to begin with?

I'm sure Jeff didn't have his feelings hurt by some random person sending him a profane voice message. No one over the age of 12 should, if they play games online. So what makes this such a crime, really? Other than the fact that it was unwittingly aimed at an internet personality, it's no different from any of the other childish behavior on XBL, so why should it be punished any more severely?

If anything it deserves less punishment, because it gave us all a laugh.

Because sometimes it does get under your skin and it is so unnecessary. I'm going to say he reaps what he sows. Just because he's got anonymity, it doesn't mean crap.

I've never gotten any hate mail just friend requests : (

@Nadafinga said:

Jeff could have played the message without showing the guys gamertag, he's practically asking the community to retaliate.

You have to give these guys some repercussions for their actions otherwise they'll just keep trolling people.

I don't disagree, but there's people who are saying not to message this guy. I'm just saying, well, Jeff kinda invited them to do so.

Yeah that's true, must've pissed him off as that's the opener to ILM, lol.

I'm so sorry he was from northern england.

How embarrassing for us.

They have high unemployment up their though :)

What a twat, seriously.

Whatever man...i just got a good laugh out of it. Don't threaten him, guys and gals. Bombing his rep would be the more diplomatic thing to do if you guys just wanted to do something. Other than that lets just keep things civil and not go down to that guys level.

DERP! People like him are hilarious. I wish I played online more often.

@Irishranger: Makes sense or you could just do what I do which is to just mute the headset completely. That way you can imagine everyone is like this online & shoot them in the face equally (or just play smaller team multiplayer games like Left4Dead/Dead Island where you can better manage friends only in the game. This guy that sent Jeff the message just is a disappointment & someone to definitely avoid online.

@Crono said:

It sounded like he was reading his insults.

Not only that they sounded more like notes to himself rather than anything he wanted to say to Jeff.

Man that guy was bringing the hate

Have to say I don't play games of that type online on my box. The only time I actually got a message from someone due to PVP action was in Dark Souls, and the guys THANKED me for a good fight after I finally managed to beat him, he then proceeded to invade me again for a rematch. I was sure it would be some sort of hateful message when I opened it, kind of gave me hope for the gaming community as a whole. ;)

Oh man, suddenly i want to play more DS... too many games!

I love that he has to take responsibility for his actions. Kid's gotta learn, and the Internet will teach him.

I can't count how many times I've been called a 'hacker kurwa' and shit like that in BF3/BFBC2. Cracks me up. I usually make fun of them seeing as they normally are absolutely goddamn awful players, and just keep going til they either ragequit or just give up, hopefully having their precious little ego hurt.

It sucks when you get banned for playing the game right though, but what you gonna do.

I love hate mail sometimes but that Garrito guy. My word. I did like on a FIFA game once where I had a game that was insane. It was like 4-4, then after extra time I won 7-5, and the guy messaged me to say "Hey, good match" and we played like 4 more games together. Also got a kid who said he'd rematch me if I (playing as Manchester United) didn't use Nemanja Vidic which was kinda funny.

Only Olympic sport that matters is the football because WE'RE IN IT HECK YEAH GREAT BRITAIN. Going to a couple of days at Old Trafford, hyped.

Watch out Mr Garrito, hell hath no fury like the giant bomb community

Team Fortress 2 update this week. That's a Steam thing, right? Guys? ...... Guys?

you like hats right? hats? :(

guy sounded like he read that hate message from a script.

Sounds like a Lancashire accent, how lovely.

An abusive Scouser insulting people on Xbox Live? Mr Garrito there ladies and gents, furthering not just one but two stereotypes at the same time!

that wasn't a Scouse accent so he's not a Scouser, if your going to imply stereotypes at least get the accent correct also Scousers are not stereotypically known for being Twats like that guy was, stealing shit yes.

Sounded more like a Stoke accent to me.

Sounded like Marc Owen, wherever he's from.

Definitely not Scouser.

Shock horror! There are total twats on Xbox Live. 

"Thanks for the feedback."

Pfffhah. That's the best way to respond. Nothing takes the wind out of an aggressor than being polite back to him.
