Thank you for showing me that game.Hurr Durr Derp said:I haven't played any multiplayer games recently apart from a couple of flash games, but I did have a chuckle at this one:
I was playing an Elements PvP game (which is a MtG-like card game) with a Darkness deck based on stealing everything I need from my opponent (health, energy, permanents, etc). Halfway through the game my opponent starts saying stuff like "Steal is for faggots who don't have good cards of their own." It was funny, because indeed his cards were a lot more powerful than mine. The reason I was still beating him with ease was that his deck sucked, since he apparently just took the most powerful cards he had and threw them together without a though about deck balance or synergy. Yeah your cards are great, but that doesn't help you if you don't know how to play the game.
Also, one that happened quite a while ago but that I still get butthurt over. I was playing Guild Wars with my Necromancer and we were at... I don't remember, one of the final missions in Nightfall but not the last one. I had joined a PUG and we were ready to go, so I pinged my build as is customary, so that everyone in the party knew exactly what to expect from me. The group leader then told me that my build sucked and sent me a new one that, according to him, was way better. One look at his build told me that not only was my build more efficient for that particular mission (and in general), I also lacked one or two skills in the lineup he suggested so I couldn't use his build even if I wanted to. The group leader, convinced we'd never win the mission if I didn't use his build, called me a noob and kicked me out of the group. To prove my point, I then proceeded to solo the mission on hard mode with that exact build.
...It's a game.Amnestic said:Sorry, no. The second you step into an instance you're with 4+ other guys who're all relying on you to do your job as much as you're relying on them to do their job. I don't care if you feel it's "cruel" or "elitist" or whatever, by not doing literally ten minutes of research you are hamstringing and wasting the time of 4 other guys/gals.
Sounds pretty selfish to me.
And THIS is why I never play halo.ultrachicken said:Him: FUCK YOU
Me: what?
Him: YOU DONT SHOOT A FUCKING MONGOOSE
I quit playing WoW because at some point it stops being a game and starts being a job.The Random One said:...It's a game.Amnestic said:Sorry, no.

A game is something you do for pleasure. If studying strategies for being better at a game gives you pleasure, it's part of the game and you do it. If not, or if it actually detracts from your pleasure because you like to go in new, you don't.
And it doesn't matter because it's a game.
It's a game people play to have fun.
A game.
Although if by not doing a minute thing right you're causing 4 other people to 'waste' their time (as opposed to dilligently employ their time towards a grand goal as usual?) it must not be a very good game.
Party Chat and Private Chat are easily the best things MS ever implemented on XBL.Armored Prayer said:I never get those comments because I'm always in a party chat. God I love the party chat.
I do that on Steam all the time!Irridium said:I know I shouldn't enjoy it, but I love trolling them.Yosharian said:Oh **** those 'hard scope!' moaners, that fucking makes me laugh. Most people that play MW2 get really upset if you camp, hard scope, noob tube or generally play the game in a way that they don't like. Just tell them to shut up and mute em.
Its even better when they try to kill you with the same ways you killed them, and they fail.
Its just so funny.
If I could make the sound quality translate well through the xbox mic, I would have the heavy's "WAAAAAAAAAAAH, WAAAAAAAAAAAH, CRY SOME MORE! HAHAHAHAHAHA!" line on tap.
