British Gamers

[Megacherv]

I've heard that Brits get called "Britfags" a lot on XBL.

How original! >_>

Seriously, what's with adding fags onto everything? It's retarded. If you mute your mic, you're a mutefag. I've heard if you say you're gay you're a 'gayfag'. I just can't root for XBL when that kind of crap is prevalent.

In the US, you can't say that right? Isn't it the equivalent of the N-word but for homosexuals?

In the UK, fag=cigarette, ******=some kind of...thing...that's eaten...like a dumpling.

Met idiots on Halo online (one who closed our server because it was laggy for him, I hate him now. If you see a guy caled ManInBlack on Halo trial, tell him MGCV hates him), but I don't know what nationality they are. Only other American I met was a woman known as marlyy on GRAW2 on PSN, she was in a clan with a load of Dutch people. They were fun to play against but I slowly lost interest in the game and was also infected by the Guitar Hero virus.

No, the entire would would implode with awesomeness, those mixed-race Anglo-Japanese babies have a huge burden on their shoulders.

Kimura Kaela is one such half Japanese, half Brit. check her out. She's awesome and makes fantastic music.

Thought I'd just mention her.

American kids say fag all the time, on or off Live, but it's used as an insult. Even some of the gay people I know call others fag in a derogatory way. It's weird.

In the dictionary, however, ****** means a bundle or bunch of sticks or twigs.

well sense London is like 66.3 mi from where i live i hear a lot of Brits on Halo3 and not all of them are bad. but there was this one nutter who thought he was Sean Connery (im not sure if i spelt his name right) but after like an hour of arguing i told him to take that voice changing thing off so i could hear his real voice. he was like 8 years and he was British, he wasn't even Scottish.

You realize Scotland is part of Britain right? You mean: "He was English"?

i don't like the idea of other country's ruling other country's. so when i speak of Scotland and Wales i speak as they are their own country's. so in my mind Scots are not British.

They have their own Parliament and control everything on their country except for the taxes. Wales is similar. Heck, even the PM is Scottish now. Basically they might as well be independent. The Scottish Nationalists (and Sean Connery) hope for independence by 2012.

well i hope that Ulster,Scotland, and Wales will be independent by When Ever The Queen Gets A heart.

This is an interesting discussion in its own right, but perhaps a new thread for it?

what would you call this new and highly controversial thread?

Is devolution within the British Parliament a good thing? That pretty much sums it up.

yeah. i'll make that in a sec. i wonder how many reply's it'll get?

I'm sure some people here have political views. Maybe some more might have a general interest.

yeah so far there have been 16 posts. not a lot.

Our language is weird...

Just had a bunch of UT3 matches with people from all over, they seemed cool. No insults except for friendly banter, even cheered me (kind-of) when I won a match (which is rare for me). I noticed that all the ones talking were adults, so that might explain it. I'd like to play an equivalent match on the 360 version just to compare the 2 player groups, to see if it's all true about XBL being full of 8-year-old twat-heads

****** is a kind of meatball. Yeah fag doesn't really mean anything to us in Britain, but it doesn't stop the slang term from being retarded. I used to think it was just XBL, but it's starting to infect Steam as well, not to mention racism.

Im irish and i have to say British ganers are the best ive come across, not just in skill but in sportsmanship, especially in gears2.

 

[Insanum]

ok, im british...and...well...I dont mind who i play against, although i do enjoy playing with most people my age.

You get the chavvy brits, Just like you get the Jock Yanks, Its how the world works.

The one thing ive found is that when you end up in the company of the jocky yanks, just to tell them to fuck right off if they start giving you lip, and it keeps them in line, and usually keeps the mood pretty light.

The only time I get stroppy is when ive lost ALL NIGHT. When im on some kinda ungodly losing streak.

It happens about once a month, Usually leading to Controller shape dints in the wall.

Ahh, so that's what it is. Makes more sense aftyer that guy on Michael McIntyre's Comedy Roadshow ("I've got a bag full of faggots!")
