"I [E.D. Hill] did a story today on a group of kids from the University of Wyoming who got together to have fun with a new PlayStation 3. The owner of the game decided they should destroy the old PlayStation 2 because he wouldn’t need it anymore. One of his friends thought he would be funny and began to urinate on the game, but guess what…it was still plugged into the wall! He fell to the floor unconscious, but came to in about ten seconds and was rushed to the hospital."

I read about this. Gota love "penis burn" as a reason for having to be admitted to the ER.

All fanboys are idiots.

Nothing in that article mentioned them being fanboys at all. They were obviously just dumbass frat boys.

Yeah. This could've just as easily happened with an Xbox and a 360, a Wii and a GameCube, or a VCR and a hooker.

I agree with Sock. All fanboys are idiots.

I fourtherize it. I especially hate Xbox fanboys. It's very odd. Microsoft has the most annoying fanboys in the console arena, and Macintosh has the most annoying fanboys in the computer arena.

I'm an X box fanboy.

I don't mind it when people are willing to support a group, but when they get to the point of "fanboy-ism", I hate dealing with them.

Back when I was a freshman in high school was when the whole "Xbox and PS2" debate was going on. At the time (it's changed now), I was more of an anti-Microsoft person, but that doesn't have anything to do with this.

The Xbox supporters were arguing with us "Non-boxers", and they picked the stupidest thing to argue about: The size of the controllers (This was before the "S" controller came out, mind you).

"Oh, those PS2 controllers are so huge. They're like holding a plate! Xbox controllers are so much smaller."

Huh? At the time Xbox controllers were giant! and I liked them...

During the whole early Gamecube vs PS2 vs Xbox days I always just told people Dreamcast beat them all...

Oh god, so true. Xbox Live is great but fucking people like that live on it. The beta is getting pretty stupid, I've seen the word PiMp in peoples names like 30 times.

Yes, because Halo is the only game in which a lot of the community is retarded. Perhaps the FFXI crowd where every other name is "Sefroth" is better, right? Fucking epitome of intelligence.

Could you imagine the fucktwits that would come out in the Zelda, or other Final Fantasy games if they had an online mode? Sure, the Live community may be bad, but pretty much every online gaming community is, for the most part, shite. That's why you only play with people you like. Do you hang out with random douchefags at the mall? No, you don't. Sure, you might run into some blokes at the mall who happen to be fun to hang out with, but do you roll with the white kids who have their hats kickin' to the left, wearing Fubu shit that's two sizes too big? No, you don't. No one's making you play with the fucktwits, all right? Don't single them out as the end-all-be-all example of the Live community. That's just fucking retarded.

Edit: Oh, ohhhhhhhhhhhhh. I missed the "XBL is great" line. Disregard my rant.

Posted: May 18 2007 12:42 pm

Yeah, about any online community is pretty goofy. I usually don't even play on Live with random people, but not too many of my friends have Live. Another thing is that not all games let you do that, for instane ranked matches in Gears of War, you can't pick who you play with. I think what makes the Live community extra special though is that people have microphones instead of keyboards, thats probably why it stands out more.

That's why I like Battlefront 2 online. I can play against actual humans without having to hear some 12 year old scream "I just fragged you n00b haxx0rz teh l33t 4evar!!!"

Posted: May 18 2007 09:11 pm

Well, see. Voice chat? They can't spell things wrong. They can say "leet", but we won't see them spell "4evar", nor will we bear witness to them finding new ways to spell "newb", or see their many re-spellings of the word "hack". Plus running down strategy on the fly with a good team is pretty fuckin' badical.

Battlefield 2 is pretty decent for online voice chat. Most squads only talk about the game and talk strategy. That is also one of the benefits of Teamspeak and just about any online PC game. You only give the Teamspeak IP to people you want to listen to and talk to.

I remember playing Ghost Recon on XBL years ago. After about 15 minutes, I just yanked the headset off and tossed it, after the non-stop swearing of 12 year olds trying to sound tough, made me want to punch a hole in my TV.

Here's an example of what I heard:

"You can't F**king touch this! I'm a god, and you are just a d**k licking c**k f*g! I can't be stopped!" (Kid talking gets killed in game.) "What the f**K? F**k Y*u, you f**king cheater! You motherf**king f*g! You f**king camping f**K! Learn to play them game! Camping is for Noobs, you f**k tard!"

And this is Ghost Recon we are talking about. A tactical, slow moving FPS. A game that relies on teamwork and strategy. I think it was reasons like this, that I never renewed my XBL live account after the first I had it, because I really didn't like playing online with people like this.

I wish they would pass a law, that corraled all of those pre-teen dipshits into a special Counter Strike server, that is the only thing they can play online until age 18, and to be ever forgotten by the rest of us.

Yeah, pretty sad that this is Americas youth too! Side note, voice chat is fucking awesome when your with friends of course. I'm having an absoulte blast in Halo 3 right now, very fun, lots of laughs etc!

Can we lower the age to 15? I'm only 16. (Well, 15 until tomorrow. Yay for birthday!)

Posted: May 19 2007 11:47 am

Eh? Adding an age limit wouldn't do squat. I'm willing to bet a lot of those fuck-ass annoying twelve year olds are really fuck-ass annoying twenty-somethings that never outgrew being a whiny li'l shit.

Socom 3 had something like that, where you needed a credit card for verification, but that didn't change the fact that 75% of the people who play video games online are socially inept.

I'll admit that I'm one of those 75%. I never talk to others when I'm online, and I rarely listen to others, since so many people babble nonsense.
