About Me
Hai I am Matt and this was a triumph. I am fifteen and video games are my life. Not in a die because I didn't/pee because I was leveling up kind of way. It is just how I spend all of my spare time. Destructoid has the awsomest community evar if I do say so for myself. I like to play Half-Life, Halo, Command and Conquer, Army of Two, Rainbow Six, Team Fortress, Gmod, Stalker, and Enemy Territory and basically any other good games. My Live name is Mad Matt 92 if you want to play. Also Cawks

Best CD Evar in my opinion.

I am so sick of people on xbox live.
Turtule Soup | 8:55 AM on 11.22.2007 27 comments


What ever happened to people on xbox live being friendly? Did this ever exist? The only time I remember nice people existing was the halo 3 launch week and when I was twelve. I wish it was still like that. The situation has gotten to the point where it is almost as bad as the cake being a lie. And that was a real son of a bitch. But back on topic. There should be a new rule. If your going to be an ass you don't get talking privileges. I feel that would make the xbox live experience a much better one. I mean if you join a game of Halo or Call of duty all you here is you noob you suck. When your balls drop play this game. Last night when I didn't pay your mom she said that. It is madness. Maybe it wouldn't be as bad if they were more original but I don't know. It would still be pretty bad. What do you guys think about the wholes situation?


P.S. My voice is not high pitched anymore.

i swear halo is rated 15+ so the kids who play me and call me when i kill them (apparently this ISN'T the point of the game)shouldn't really be on the game anyway, there should be a lock on any kid regestering and what games they can play online.

It's going to happen whenever you don't just play with friends. It happens less on PCs because they're less accessible. It happens even less on the PSN because nobody has a headset (or a PS3 in the main)! I got called a cheater the other evening because on TF2 on the PC I captured the winning point. You know, the objective of the game? People who beat you, cheat. It's the only way.

Lots of people online bitch. It's what they do, it's what they will always do. The trick is, don't play with them. Gather your friends and the people you enjoy playing against. When someone annoys you mute them and make sure you're not matched with them again, unless you enjoy showing them their still beating heart before they die. I like that. Anyway, it's a whittling process, not an insta-win.

Oh, and @stevepheonix: I really want to agree with you! I really, really do! But I don't think the age is the problem. I've played Halo 3 against a team of 4 kids aged from about 12 to 15 and had a fantastic time! They were smack talking a bit but when I blew two of them up by shooting a barrel beside them, they actually took time out at the end of the game to say how awesome that was and chat about some of the other things that happened in the game! The ratings are guides to parents, not law enforcement. When I was young, from the age of 11 actually, I was polite, well spoken and watching vicious horror movies well past midnight. Yes, there is a tendancy for kids to be dicks online but I wouldn't punish all of them because of the dicks, even if they are in the majority. I know if I was a young player who enjoyed the game and didn't just swear in a pitch only dogs can hear properly, I'd be gutted at not being able to play.

Basically, what I'm saying is, it's up to us to vet the community. Take back the gaming world from the assholes and the smack-talkers! Mute them, make sure you don't get matched with them, leave them bad ratings. Praise the good! Friend them, recommend them and thank them for the fun!

R6:Vegas is good for Live folk who aren't complete morons. And I agree with glipe about vetting the community. Failing that, a rocket to the face usually does the trick.

In Halo, too.

All it takes is a couple of morons to make a game bad for everyone. Team killing, spawn camping, sometimes even the most fun game can be absolutely ruined because someone can't have fun with it the right way. Hell it's not even limited to Xbox Live, anybody who's played an MMO can tell you at least one horror story about griefers, campers, or scammers.

OH WOW WAAAAY BACK ON HALO 3 LAUNCH WEEK I WAS 16 NOW IM 16!

Really, it is 12 year olds like yourself that ruin the experience, you and the population of Louisiana with names like "killallnigs"...

Still, 12 year olds aren't all the same. I hope.

And some people wonder why I only play online with Friday Night Fights, and Thursday and Sunday Night Fights on my other forum.

Playing w/ people you know > playing with 15-year-olds who are up past their bedtime.

This is exactly why I started looking for more dtoiders to add. I won't talk to whiney assholes or the like, but I always give them a try... when they kill me I'll say "Nice one" or something... and if I kill them I'll say "Man I got lucky" just to keep them at bay. Usually this doesn't work... but when it doesn't and they keep at it I just mute their butt.

With this in mind if you guys would like to add me to your friend list my GT is Electrobes. I'll be one of the hosts tomorrow for Friday Night Fights (Team Fortress 2 and Halo 3).

I haven't played much multiplayer on Rock Band, I I do have the game if this interest anyone.
