    So this dude I've played with on Gears of War for ages decided he'd play on the other team for once. I literally destroyed him with my chainsaw and he began acting like a little beotch, first blocking communications, muting me then deleting me, before finally lancering me down every single game after that (we were playing with mutual friends). Honestly, how annoying is that? I didn't glitch him, didn't do anything horrible to him like a smoke tag, nor did I FORCE him to go on the other side, and instead of taking it like a man, he turns into a complete a-hole. I honestly just cannot get mad at Gears of War. I play it for fun and I play it to be social. I certainly don't do what he did, so it's just so very alien to me how he reacted.


    Anyone here react a little big more immaturely to losing a game? Anyone had this happen to them as often as it seems to happen to me?

    Implying that this has happened before? What kind of people do you hang out with?  =P

    Dude's a complete weirdo if he really reacted that way. You said you played with him a ton before? Why would he get so mad just because you killed him in a video game where that's the entire point? I'm so confused.

    The trick is to not meet dudes on the internet, ever.

    He sounds like a douche to me. If you don't want to get ripped apart by a chainsaw then don't play gears.

    Exactly my thoughts... Glad he deleted me. :D


    It was cool though, the very next game I met up with a complete noob who worshipped me. ; )

    I forgot to mention that I did actually have a similar situation happen to me one time. It was on a much smaller scale though, so it's really not even the same.


    Basically a guy that I played with in a match of Halo 3 thought I was good, so he joined up with me for the following match. He even invited me to be friends, so I was just like "Um, OK." The next match my KD ratio was pretty crappy. The result? This bro that was all cool last match left the game and removed me from his friend list.

    I guess that one good match I had somehow gave him the impression that I could do that consistently. Dude was a jerk though.
