It all started innocently enough. I created a KoF XII room and start playing the AI. A few minutes later, a challenger appears. The PSN ID is unholyDESOLATE, capitalized as you see here. We have a great game. One of those blood-pumping in your veins, too-close-to-call games. My Kensou barely takes out his Mature with 1 second on the clock. His Leona, which was beastly, takes out my Kensou and Kyo. My Joe finishes his Leona, leaving my Joe at 80% health versus his Duo Lon. It was close but I lost with his Duo Lon at about 18% health. If I win a good match that has a good connection, I stay for another match, at least. I like to give the other player a rematch since one win proves nothing. unholyD doesn't roll like that. He leaves. I'm disappointed by that but whatever. I message him "great game." He responds with "not from you. learn to play." Wow. So we have a close match, which he barely wins and then he responds rudely to a compliment. I replied back to him because I'm old and don't have the desire to deal with lame ass people like this. I put some thought into my response and, despite considering the high road, decided to communicate in his language and on his level. My reply: "nice attitiude. it was too close for you to be that cocky. dick." I thought about lecturing on how to accept a compliment but decided such concepts are beyond his comprehension. This is why I never wear my headset unless I'm playing someone I know.
