Well, quite honestly, I'm getting sick of it.  So, I thought about making a video of it, but I figured I'd post about it here, and talk about it, get my thought together, etc.

Anyway, we all know how it is.  There's that one guy with superiority complex wanting to talk down to everyone he beats in a game, yet uploads videos with a god damn potato.  So, I played Tekken Tag Tournament 2.  I lost about 10 matches.  So what.  In plenty of them were right down to the wire, so I was having fun.  I haven't practiced the game, or even played it very much in the past year.  But, for the past month, I've been trying to get back into things.

And, so anyway, we're fighting and such, and I win.  On the comment line in TTT2, I see a "**** you" pop up on screen.  And, the next fight, "scrub."  Before the guy started being a dick, I was actually enjoying myself.  I know I'm not punishing properly, and my movement isn't the greatest, but whatever.  I wasn't even keeping score.

Eventually, we finish playing, and he wants to be a total ass about how he beat me-- and yeah, he was good.  Better movement,and he punished me for whiffs, etc.  Whatever.  I hardly have a clue what's safe and unsafe other than high jabs, and he obviously did.  That stuff takes time, because you have to not only remember the numbers, but be able to react properly when you're put in a situation against it.

But, then, it hit me...  Who talks down on people they beat in games?  I first thought it was a fighting game thing, because it gets rough...  But, I've seen some pretty bad stuff on youtube from FPS games too.  And, you know what?  It's people that are losers in every other aspect of life.  Hence why they feel the need to "knock someone down a peg or two."  Away from the game, they are at the bottom, so when they find that one thing they're good at, they just go wild.

Anyway... I just don't like it when people act like they were great at it since it's release day, knowing damn well it took them a year and a half of playing nothing but that one game to get where they are.  But, I lose plenty.   And you know what?  I was playing this past weekend with friends, and lost.  No shame in it either.  I lost so much, I had to give up my controller to someone else, because I didn't win a single match.

And, you see that?  I lost!  I still had fun, though.  But, I had to stop.  I was playing terribly, and I knew it, so it was all cool.  But, why play online with those types of people?..  It used to not bother me, but... now, I guess it does.

Everyone online is an asshole. Everyone. It's better to just not give them the satisfaction of being upset.

What a wimp, man up and take your medicine for being terrible.

Totally kidding, people are jack-asses because there are typically no repercussions. You're right, it makes it harder to enjoy your game.

To find out a true person, give him or her a mask.

People that need to put other people down to feel better about themselves. Maybe small penis. Just laugh and think about them having a small penis.

I wanted to make this joke. You dick.

Early bird gets the burn.  ... slow day at work

Actually most of them are just immature dicks, but there are some instances when the lack of human presence effects the communication. Communication online through either text or voice separates the individual from the visual and physical consequences. ~90% of human communication is non-verbal, and social media/online gaming disconnects us from that. This leads to keyboard warriors, raging little faggots, and kids portraying the wrong kind of social behavior because of the lack of physical presence. In person they would not display that behavior. They feel tough behind a screen.

Good on you for having such a good attitude about it! I know many people who would quit the game all together or take their rage out on the opposing player. If I get a chance, I may post all the pictures I have taken of PSN messages from salty 12 year olds. Seriously I have about 50 from playing COD4/MW#/TLOU MP

Bulling is fun!

There are always people that takes games too seriously, and those who just troll...

That is why I like to avoid online gaming with live chat. or I'd just mute everyone before hand. One minute they will laugh at you for being a noob when they win and the next they will call you a cheater for beating them.

Not much you can do about that, unfortunately..
