[Goldeneye1989]

the best thing i can say is to prove the sterotype wrong yourself ingame. Simple, and if you get shit for bing youngin just tell them to shutup and look at the score.

I am a fourteen year old gamer i don't get mad when i lose or gloat,but often men much older then me will send me angry messages.Ive gotten voice messages that are just one long scream of anger. I laugh because a "grown" man is going berserk because i beet him in a game i play for fun. I don't care if people think i should play or not I'm playing for the sheer enjoyment of the game.

 

[Twitchy Racoon]

no

You shouldn't be playing shooters at that age to begin with. It says so on the box.

Pfft why is he gonna be scarred for life?

no because its the law retard
also because the grown ups say nasty words and little jimmy might hear some and start saying them to look tough and manly and his mom and dad who spent money on the little retard might not like hearing him say them.

you need to go socialize with something that isnt a bible or paranoid parent

I would be totally fine with this bs if the parents had the balls to beat there stupid kids and thats all they really need but there are such pussies that they give in to getting the little retards M rated games that they forget that 5 year olds are not meant to see someone get there bodies turned inside out. the same reason you don't let 5 year olds watch SAW its rated M for a reason

and btw there is no god if there was a just and loving god we would have died off a long time ago before the human race got this damn stupid

So after seeing these 'boobies' you think that these ignorant little monsters that'll believe anything cuz there are young and innocent, will become the next Osama's?

yes they are clearly smart and never believe any lies there parents told them about santa and the easter bunny

but those are coming from their parents and books and occasionally school, you cant think a kid is gonna believe that a kid is that gullible and can be turned into some monster

 

[William Dickbringer]

dude as long as you know what you're doing and don't go shout OMFG after every time you get killed and scream YEAH NO SCOPED YOU FUCKING NOOB!!!! and you don't go playing some retarded soundboards or playing your music through the mic then you are my favorite 13 year old in the match

 

[Requx]

Its because there are soo many of you playing games your not allowed to play till your 17 or at least look and sound 17...I think if you can buy the game on your own you should be able to play it but its like people wnat a mature experience playing gta not have to keep their traps shut cause you dont want to get in trouble with a 13 year olds mum and their very impressionable and grow into trolls

 

[Hagget_4]

Your fine with me but if you start saying "No Scoped (x100/sec)", or the same god damn thing when you get cocky then only to get killed then we can have it settled. Also not to be racist or anything but if you start saying "******" all the time your fuckin annoying.

 

[Tomster595]

I don't hate you just for being 13 and playing games, but I will hate you the second that you start yelling high pitched profanities lol. But yes, good points.

 

[Hagget_4]

yes its hard to explain but i think i might simplify it for you its the way you act in the game and voice behavior thats what your trying to get at am i right? "Just asking"

 

[mchoueiri]

Alot of people these day's play multiplayer.And i'm pretty sure we all have our story of some fourteen year-old(or younger) screaming in his mic about you actually killing him.This doesn't really bother me much, considering there is a handful of adults who can't coup with this either.But for some reason, adults have started to tell me I shouldn't play multiplayer because children ruin the online experince.Now, before I go on, I am fully aware that most american children are idiots, and that most idiots have mic's.But just because they are massive idiots, doesn't mean I am, so don't put me into this spectum of idiocy just because you feel like it.Some of us can handle ourselves without a cell phone and the Internet.We mostly live in Arizona.

thats good but most children from every country is annoying online but there kids who are not annoying. that is good you are among there numbers.

 

[Deadpool062]

Im also one of those 13 year old intelligent persons. I'm likely skipping 8th grade and going to high school next year, though that doesn't mean i'm not a douche which i'm not. And i don't scream into the mic but rather take pleasure in confusing the dimwitted through careful wordplay. It's really quite fun. Also I usually mute the retards who are acting black and being extremely immature. Though occasionally I cuss out the douche who bogarts the sniper/helicopter/whatever they suck with that i'm good at. Though really, there are some serious little kids in need of face punches on every system.

 

[Low Key]

You have to understand the concept of what is said when people complain about screaming teenagers on mics who cheat. If you don't scream or cheat, then the statement doesn't apply to you. I don't see why you'd think it would. Those who feel the need to say something to you online obviously don't come here and have a rational discussion about these things, so you'll have to excuse them for their idiocy, just as I excuse the idiocy of screaming cheating teenagers when I play. It certainly won't make my stop playing multiplayer games, just as I'm sure a few jackasses making comments won't stop you.

 

[gmaverick019_v1legacy]

Do you refrain from screaming into a microphone?
Do you resist any urges to bring sexuality, or the sexual proclivity of someone's mother, into the conversation?
Do you work towards goals, hold a team-oriented mindset and keep yourself from ruining others' enjoyment for no reason other than "the lulz"?

If your answer to these three questions is "yes", then grab your mouse or controller and join the game. I'll be happy to have you aboard.

this. for sure

Yes, but are you playing a game that's suitable for you? See, this is the kicker, and what adults hate most, when we get into an M rated game, which is meant solely for us, and there are a bunch of 12, 13, 14 year olds, screaming at us, all because "mommy" doesn't know dick about games, or what a little shit "Timmy" is, and doesn't check the ESRB sticker on the back of the box.

This is what really infuriates us. If kids would stay on their own games, the ones rated E, and T, then I think we would get much less pissed about dickheads acting like assholes. When a 34 year old is trying to talk trash, it's sad and we laugh at him, when a 12 year old is doing it, it's infuriating and we want to give his father a forced vasectomy.

You're a fool. Age =/= Maturity. My uncle, who is in his mid 50s now, is the most immature human being I have ever had the displeasure to know. One of my friends, who is 12, is more mature than most morons on Live, TF2, or Counter-Strike.

I do believe I never brought up whether he was MATURE enough to play the game, I brought up that the game was not made for him. See, that's the difference. Adults want an oasis from the children, and that's supposed to be mature rated games, but sadly, it isn't.

those are just ratings/guides

do you follow everything to the book? follow every guideline?

i seriously doubt anyone does.

unless your an old gamer who is incredibly nostalgic since he didn't get games as a child, as long as the kid acts mature, i see no reason why he/she can't play mature games

 

[Sgt AssHead]

I'm 14 years old, and I consider myself to be a very mature individual, and while I play M-rated games I very rarely get angry and scream into the mic. On the other hand, my step brother who is 13 is incredibly immature and shouts curse words and insults that I can hear even on the complete opposite side of the house. I really think that it simply comes down to the maturity level of the player, and if the parents believe its alright for said player to play the game.

 

[TheUnkn0wngamer]

I am twelve and I take offense to that sir! I am considered to be quite mature for my age, I mean why the fuck would I scream into my mic just because somebody killed me, that's normally the point of the game and any kid my in age area that do that, if I know them I hit them over the back of the head for being a crybaby n00b.

you can't say that some of them aren't stupid enough to believe everything they read because encase you haven't noticed some of them are pretty stupid

its like letting a 5 year old watch something like kill bill you can't expect it not to have some kinda negative effect on it

You should also ask, Do you sound like Justin Beiber? If No, then you can use your mic

They seem to rule out any of the more unlikeable sorts, so ill agree with this.

 

[Sneaky Paladin]

I'm the same. If I even MENTION my age in an online match I'm kicked now -_-

Why can't we all just have fun with videogames? Why must adults insult children when they wish to enjoy themselves? They speak as if videogames were created exclusively for themselves. I say this as a thirteen year old.

Oh and welcome to The Escapist please ignore the bodies and don't go into the basement.

Passed!Well' mostly.I get enraged in my house when no one wants to be the engenieer in TF2.Good thing I got no mic.

Congradulations, not only did you pass, you admitted that you do rage (very mature thing to actually admit your faults), and your anger sounds like it stems from the simple "we don't need 5 snipers, we need classes that can be kredit to team more then just killing," which is much more reasonable then 97% of peoples reasons to rage online.

Here is your prize.
