Anyway i was destroying people. I came, saw, and conquered all. at the end of the battle the kid says "f this bs, suck my (i not saying it)" right at me!!! i would've cussed him out but my girlfriend was in another room talking on the phone and she would've heard me. i was flaming mad! the kid was a bad sport! how many times has this happened to you guys? (this is about the 15th time this week i heard an underaged kid runnin his mouth like a motorboat saying cuss words! if this happens again i'm going to explode on live!!!!!!! |
Casts doubt on that myth that Nintendo systems are just for "kiddies", doesn't it?
Everybody knows that children try to be mature well ahead of their time and mimic what they think adult behavior is supposed to be like hence the cursing, the dabbling in illicit substances (both legal & illegal), and early sexual activity.
The games usually referred to as 'adult' & 'mature' should be really labeled 'adolescent' because the themes shown in those games appeal to children who are wannabe adults. Fighting, shooting & blowing stuff up, and comically represented sexual themes. That's what appeals to many teens and pre-teens. And these teens and pre-teens in order to tailor themselves to what they believe is the adult image distance themselves from game with bright colors and illustrated characters labelling them kiddie whether or not they are designed to appeal to young children or not.
In this age range children are extremely self-conscious of their public image and the mask of persona is bolted on the face nearly impossible to remove.
Sorry, daactualfact but you've found yourself in the midst of a demographic who want to fit the image XBox 360 is supposed to have: "adult". So they're now acting "adult". Keyword: Acting.
lol, I remember playing Age of Empires 2 online and rookie, intermediate, and expert were the ways to define you and not 'noob' and every other way of saying the word, 'noob'. Those were the good old days of my internet career.
Back then it was, "You're a rookie at this, but that's okay. Keep practicing and you'll get the hang of it in no time". Now it's "You f***ing noob, go back into your hole where you belong ***!!!!"
Another annoyance of mine. This 'noob' 'newbie' business. You gotta learn somewhere. I'd treat the newcomer like a student and show him the ropes. Like a sensei. If he thought he could start challenging me, I'd welcome the challenge & see how good he is. If he was better than me, then I would improve and we'd have a good fun rivalry trying to outdo one another improving both of us in the process.
That elitist bullshit never washed with me. You want MORE people to play not LESS.
For this reason I don't really mind Nintendo's approach to online play. I hate chat rooms for the same reason. Too many idiots.
