Anonymity and jackass behavior, an Xbox Live tale
By K1ngSlice 1 Comments
Firstly, I had to get a bullshit subtitle in my first blog entry since this is a video game blog, and we all know that video games have the most blow hard subtitles ever deployed in the history of mankind. Anyways, this submission is going to be focusing on my general hate for 95% of the Xbox Live community that chooses to use their headsets, or the "communicator," to "communicate" how fucking worthless they are. We've all been there, and we've all seen it happen. One minute you are sitting there, getting a quick game of Call of Duty in while your slow ass internet connection downloads copious amounts of horse porn, and then BAM! Some jackass decides to start using his mic as a tool to annoy everyone in the room. Generally these are kids who should have had this kind of behavior beaten out of them years ago...but it's even worse when it comes from someone who sounds like his balls have, in fact, dropped.
The Cause is clearly the anonymity that the Xbox Live community allows for. Much like driving, none of these assholes would behave this way if you could actually walk up to them and call them out on it. But since they are insulated by a moat of anonymity, they feel as though they goad other humans for their own debased amusement. The worst offender here is obviously the E-thug. This asshole actually thinks he is tough because he is calling people out over anonymous voice chat. I especially enjoy muting these fucks. I mean, seriously, are you actually going to jump on a plane, rent a car, and then show up at some asshole's house and fight them? I submit that yes, you should.
The Solution is something my buddy Robbie T. and I came up with a long time ago, when we would get unmercilsously owned during 4 hour sesh's of Counter Strike. Every game should have a "Print Address" button. Some degenerate fuck got you down? Click on his name, click print address, show up at his house with a posse, do the work his parents should have done (beat the fuck out of his stupid ass). I guarantee you that it would only take a few of these stories hitting Kotaku before these morons would stop acting with impunity.
Seriously, what ever happened to the days when guys had dignity? I'm not talking about chicks here, they will stab your ass in the back faster than I can download horse pronz (which is blazingly fast btw). Dudes, on the other hand, used to have this thing called honor. Remember back in the day if somebody said something about your mom, you would challenge them to a duel? Whatever happened to that? You used to have to think twice about running your mouth. But now everyone just acts like a hardass until they get called on their bullshit. And let's say you are out at the bar, and some dipshit won't stop fucking with you? You call him out, and now he can't handle his own business, so you have to fight him and all of his friends. Back in the day if you started something, you finished it yourself.
Hmm, well my bad there for getting off on a tangent. Check this other blog for more info on bringing back that old classic known as punching jerks in the face.
That's it for now, I need to take a rape shower.
K1ngSlice, out.
