[Scorch]

And for the record, if my kid ever talked like that, I would've jerked the XBox out of the wall and snapped that XBox Live headset. I would never let my kid curse like that at me.

[judyjudyjudy]

I don't have an Xbox... is this common? I can't believe kids these days. (Man, I sound old.) They're bad enough in text.

So common it's ridiculous.

[Spoon_si]

I quit playing for about over 3 months because of all the cheating & trash talkin...

I just hate hearing mama jokes & being called gay every time I win a match...

So.. did you even make an attempt to watch the video or just assumed people were talking about kids and cheating/being called gay?

[Maizrim]

That is freaking hilarious - "I want some motherf***in chocolate MILK!!"

Both good times and bad in my experience on XBL - I did have a laugh out loud moment the other day in H2 though.

After winning a Big Team Battle, one of my teammates had prepared some music for us all after the match was over.

As soon as we got back to the score sheet screen, we heard MC Hammer's "Can't Touch This"... even the other team had to have a laugh at that one since it was so unexpected.

I have started leaving Feedback a lot more in the past month - even if it doesn't work (which they promise that it does), it makes you feel a bit better after three 12 year olds team kill and jump the bomb into the water on Headlong.

[Scorch]

I wish I could play music over XBox Live.

[shrike4242]

I wish I could play music over XBox Live.

Put mic near to speaker. Play music.

Though, what I'm wondering is what moronic parent let their obviously under 17 year old spawn-of-Satan play a M-rated game. :roll:

That doesn't work.

That kid definately had Damien-like qualities - all for some chocolate milk and just a bit more play time.

[SteveMcQ]

Spec Ops soldier just wanted some fucking chocolate milk. Let's give him a break.

What an idiot.

[zewone]

That doesn't work.
It does.

The video. Hilarious. I said I wanted Mountain Dew, now I want chocolate milk. Bring me some motherfucking chocolate milk. Was that Black Arrow? I've never played it and it didn't look like the regular R63.

[the3rdkey]

Microphones were one of the worst things that ever happened to online gaming.

[ex0]

Thanks for the laugh, hilarious stuff right there.

[the_deej]

i would beat that kid if he was mine

[GuilewasNK]

I'll have to check this at home.

In Halo 2 I never have my mic on in Rumble Pit anymore. I use it only for team games.

[Scorch]

It does.

Does not. At least with my stereo.

[zewone]

In Halo 2 I never have my mic on in Rumble Pit anymore. I use it only for team games.
I wear mine in RP, but keep it muted so they can't hear me, but if I'm sneaking up on someone or they are sneaking up on me, I might catch them talking or breathing, giving me an extra chance to stay alive. It has help hundreds of times.

[shrike4242]

I think it was R63:BA.

I do the same on mine, speaking in RP or RT just gets you dead. On, and muted.

[urzishra14]

I hate to use the mic its just silly.. i've actually had people kick me out of rooms because i didn't have it on.. like it matters any that i talk durring a Burnout 3 race? but on H2 its only useful in Team games.. but even then.. you're team works a lot more effeciently if you minimalize talk so you should have 2 players be "generals" and the other 2 be the peons.. i've found the teams work a lot better that way.. just my opinion.. there is no need for little kids on XBL.. they really should take the feedback and revoke live accounts for little kids cursing and getting mad and leaving because they aren't winning.

[Mookyjooky]

Mics are great as long as you dont play with douches... otherwise they suck.

[Maizrim]

Yeah, that and team suicides are annoying as hell.

I played back to back games last week that were just crazy. The first game was Team Slayer with two guys who killed themselves the entire game - we lost 50 to -1.

The second game was Team Slayer as well, and five seconds into the game my three teammates quit. I stayed and faced the four guys and only lost 21 to 10.

I had to laugh when they were bragging about killing me. But then I tend not to get too mad in H2, I just leave feedback.

[Pylis]

I ran into TWO suicide games the other day. One of them we were able to get the suicider to quit, so it was a 3 vs 4 handicap. We won that one somehow. The other one ended at like 50 to 13 or something ludicrous.

I'm constantly hearing little kids saying racial crap or cursing all the time on XBox Live, but most of the time I don't have any problems.

Edit: And to comment on the video... hilarious!

[adamsappel]

That video started out funny, but by the middle of it I was sad. Sad for the mom (whose kid acts like that), sad for the kid (whose mom raised him to act like that), sad for the people who have to play against him.

And not only that, THEY'RE CHEATING!

[Quackzilla]

I was wondering where all those annoying kids went.

PC games, especially Counter-Strike, have been incredibly noob and asshole free the last few months.

That Rainbow 6 game must have an "assholes wanted" sticker on it.

Yeah, the two guys in question actually said they had been doing it for awhile, to "Lower their levels to play with their friends again."

Here is the link to the actual game - maybe you guys have run into them as well:

[snotnose_colossal]

Someone should really get that kid kicked off LIVE, or at least kick him square in the nuts

[Roufuss]

Microphones were one of the worst things that ever happened to online gaming.

I agree.

I had Xbox Live for a few months, and then cancelled it and never looked back. Sure, I miss out on some good times, but 1 out of every 4 games was filled with douches.

It's hard to get excited for X360 when such a focus is on Live, and the majority of Live's users are assholes.

[zewone]

I think the main problem is you guys play with random people. (You people being the people that complain about douches on Live.) If you play with only people from CAG then its really a lot of fun and you don't have to worry about all the douchebags. (Except for maybe help1).

I think we've found the real life Eric Cartman!

[ryanbph]

Is their a way to look at the feedback that has been left for you? The only problem I have with kicking people off for their feedback is, some idiots are just upset they lost, and leave feedback saying you cheated.

I also haven't had as much of a problem with the young kids, as I have had with the 16 - 21 crowd talking so much shit

[onetrackmind]

wow i swear if i would have ever spoken to my parents like that i would have gotten a beating of a lifetime. I cant even believe that, all the more reason i dont think i want kids.

[Mookyjooky]

Its not the kids fault, its the bad parenting to blame. That kid grew up thinking that was ok...and in his house it is. But if I would of said something like that my grandma would taken out the beating stick and beat me to an inch of my life.

Stupid ass parents.

I agree with you 100%

[DT778]

"But mom its a clan match!"
What a punk ass family.

[karmapolice]

That kid sucks. I would have broken his X-Box in half and set it a-flame and watched him cry in terror because his life was burned. I would have then proceeded to give all of his games away to less fortunate kids (seeing as this kid seems spoiled that would piss him off).

[Grave_Addiction]

I think we've found the real life Eric Cartman!

Heh heh. Very true.

I did get a kick out of the chocolate milk part.

[Mattte]

I was waiting for a loud thud and then for the kid to start crying...but it never happened..:(

[help1]

What is with every1 magically finding stuff from gamefaqs all of a sudden?

[repetske]

That sure sounds a lot like Xboxmaster from these boards.

[organicow]

You know, the worst thing about shit like this is the message it sends to non-gamers. This is the sort of thing that has lawmakers pushing bills that could restrict violence in videogames; all parents have to do is say "My kid didn't act like that until he played video games." These little shits and their negligent parents are going to make it much more difficult for publishers to release games for adults.

It really gets me, you know. I mean, I grew up in the late '70s and early '80s, and have played games my whole life. But at the same time, my parents were teaching me to know right from wrong & reality from fantasy; knowing these distinctions have allowed me to enjoy games for over 2 decades without turning into an irresponsible, shit-talking retard.

It's called PARENTING, people. Get with it.

[Apossum]

That kids gonna be a winner when (if?) he grows up.

[FriskyTanuki]

This is one of the main reasons I'm hesitant to just randomly play my games on Live, as this video pretty much sums up the kind of crap I don't want to hear from kids. I'd gladly play mostly anyone here or anyone that I know, but most likely not the average kid on Live.

[kelso]

This kid deserves a slap.

With a few exceptions (other CAGs) I don't play with anyone on XBL that isn't part of the CAG Halo 2 clan. Far too many random jackasses out there.

I'd be willing to give most people here a try, and then go from there. I just wouldn't go for the random XBL player simply because of all that I've heard from others and my experiences on other online games.

Try a few Big Team Battles during the day, if only to see how good or bad it can get.

A good experiment into the realm of weirdness - like the guy who said, "I'm a Jedi!" over and over again until the entire team put him on mute. :lol:

To be honest, the Brits or spanish speaking XBLers are some of the nicest I've ever played with in Halo 2.

[FriskyTanuki]

I could've guesses that. :lol:

If I had Halo 2, I'd definitely try that out, but I'm just limited to two titles right now.

[help1]

Well, I must say, im jealous none of these things happen to me on XBL... but also thankful.

I have had a few 10 year olds who start cursing but if they annoy me I mute em and sometimes leave.

Yeah, it's fun to try and eavsdrop on the enemy when they're speaking rapid-fire Spanish. :rofl:

I do have to agree, most of the non-US folks I've run into have been pretty cool.

Crimson Skies and what else?

[FriskyTanuki]

Crimson Skies and what else?
SC Chaos Theory, which I'm working on improving somewhat as I tend to get into shootouts too easily.

[stocker08]

i would have taken tht xbox and all of the games to gamestop or eb the very next day and sold it. That kid sounded like a little bastard.

[Scorch]

Add me on Live if you wanna do some co-op action, that'd be fun.. I could help you out. GT: ScorchX

[Zingela]

I hear crap like that constantly when I play on Live. More
often, insults towards me, though. :(
I apparently sound like a little girl through the headset. I'm 20. :<

Oh man, was playing Conker last night, and that game seems like a freaking MAGNET for the under-12 variety. I swear, 80% of all the people I encountered yesterday were under 12. Most admitted it ("My parents let me play anything" was a popular line). The best was the kid that told me he was 8. He rambled on and on about how violent the game was, though not nearly as violent as GTA: San Andreas. Then later went on to gloat on his past Perfect Dark abilities, and I quote: "I used to own everybody at that game when it came out". Now, I don't remember the exact year that was released, but he must have been, what, four?

I love you, XBL.

[FriskyTanuki]

I'm guessing a headset is very much needed for online co-op, huh? I can pick one up tomorrow at either Fry's or EB since I have the day off. I'll add you once I'm done playing tonight.

[Logg]

I would smack the shit out of that kid

but Iam pretty sure that video is fake

Why else would that dude Zoom in when ever that kid spoke in a clan match

[Scorch]

Yeah, definately, which adds a whole other element.. you have to talk quiet into the headset or the enemies will hear you.. you can turn off that option, of course, which I always do.

To laugh when he kept going "SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP!".. I remember playing Counter-Strike on PC and my friend making random noises and I would watch the guy's character move his mouth and I was laughing so hard I was crying.

I concur

I pretty much just play Rainbow Six 3/BA coop missions with some people I know and it is pretty fun, but many of the random xbox live users can get pretty bad. I'd imagine, however, that I can sound pretty annoying on live sometimes due to my temper. Then again, at least I realize this, and don't use a microphone most of the time.

[FriskyTanuki]

Reminds me of the Penny Arcade comic about the conversations with guards to interrogate them. :lol:

I thought that the name Zingela looked familiar, and now I know why. And if I remember correctly, I team killed you atleast once. You going to be playing tonight? I am sure Rabbittreloaded and A crispy donut are playing it right now. I will be joining them as soon as I get done with my NBA 2K5 beating.

[JimmieMac]

Man, for a fat video game kid with a list of 300 games or some shit on IGN you don't have much in the way of new shit huh? Like, you got a fu(kin' modded Famicom and Super Mario 2: Lost Worlds mint in box but you only have 2 XBL games and no headset. Weak sauce Kool Aid man, weak sauce.

It's just a descriptive thing I mention, like if he was black or Republican.

haha! Yes, that was indeed me. Forgive my total suckfest, was my first time playing multi. And I haven't played since, so I'll still be pretty horrible. I might be on later, I'll keep an eye out for ya.

[Scorch]

You're so politically incorrect.. but damnit, it's hilarious

[Saucy Jack]

This video gave me mixed emotions. I was laughing when the character was moving his mouth screaming for a beverage, but I was pissed that the kid was talking to his mother like that. If I ever spoke to my mother like that, she would have yanked off my headset, taken off her shoe and beat the shit out of me with it. Then, she would have unplugged my Xbox... and then to add more punishment, she would probably cut off the cable and internet services and grounded me. I thank God that my mom loves me that much to punish me properly.

Also, this video reminded me of trying to play Chaos Theory online this weekend. Nothing but assholes online. Screaming and yelling and bitching galore. I didn't even get through a whole game because of that. Yuck.

I still want to pick up CT though; the game kicks butt. :)

[Zingela]

I was pissed that the kid was talking to his mother like that.

Indeed.

Five across the eyes. And then some, perhaps.

[danny-o]

I sent him a friend request with my own version of his MOMMY CHOCOLATE MILK CLAN MATCH

[craven_fiend]

haha! Yes, that was indeed me. Forgive my total suckfest, was my first time playing multi. And I haven't played since, so I'll still be pretty horrible. I might be on later, I'll keep an eye out for ya.

Alright cool. We're all playing right now, so feel free to send a friend request my way(gt= craven fiend)

Pardon me for not buying 50 games with my Xbox that I've had a few weeks.

[crickett003]

:rofl:

Special Weapons And Tactics team member specializing in high-tech demolition, expert marksmanship, and unmatched hand-to-hand combat skills wants some mother fucking chocolate milk, not mountain dew.

This is so common on xbox live.

I've been blessed in the last few online matches I've had that nobody said a word, and when they did, it was actually something intelligent.

Yeah, my Dad would have bitch slapped me if I ever said something like that to my Mom.

Just another reason why I'm curious, yet hesitant to start teaching high school next year...

[danny-o]

I was playing Forza before and this guy cuts me off so I hit him in the ass a little and he starts going off on me a bit so I tell him to stop being a baby, then all the other players started asking him if it was a clan match being messed up and if he wanted chocolate milk. Classic

[Brak]

He sounded like the kid off of "The Toy"... that is, before he had the realization that he was a little prick.

http://imdb.com/title/tt0084809/

Consequently, that actor became a pornstar later in life.

And, rofl... I just watched it again and noticed the little brat calls his mom a "B". The letter "B". I feel bad for her; probably a single parent, or something. If I was his dad, I'd smash the computer with a bat with a nail sticking out of it.

[Ultimate Matt X]

I find a great bit of irony in some of the complaints about Live considering the sources, but oh well. :)

Those looking for a good Halo 2 time look me up. If we run into these kinda babblers I can make it entertaining. Also, my base crew are some pretty decent characters if you don't wanna deal with scumbags.

Scorch and others we need to get on Splinter Cell sometime. I've been trying to get people on there forever, but no luck.

[WolfPac_Ite]

Someone should really get that kid kicked off LIVE, or at least kick him square in the nuts


If he had any.


I play on Xlink Kai, and out of all the people who I have played Ghost Recon 2 with, there are very few which were the way you people described. Then again, there are only roughly about 50 people average playing at a time. Of course the "EZ" clan is another story...

[SAGExSDX]

i guess im lucky or blessed or something because in my memory, i haven't had too many run-ins with little racist noisy little kids all summer... not to say there havent been a few in these past few months... and i only play random... i rarely play with ppl i know... because i dont really know anyone around here with xbox live... all ps2 fans... =/

anyways the thing about the video that interested me the most was the fact that the character's mouth moved when the person talked. I thought that was pretty freakin' cool. i was unaware that the game had anything like that. Man game developers are cool.

[GuilewasNK]

I just had a run-in last night. It was on Team Slayer and the guys on MY team were being the racist assholes. I was gonna just play with the mic off but I didn't want to be associated with them so I quit.

[adamsappel]

Anyone know if this video got mirrored anywhere? Looks like all the bandwidth use got the original account suspended.

Edit: Found it. Google search for "chocolate milk xbox live" turned up quite a few hits. Here's one: http://www.redassedbaboon.com/blog/?ct_id=266.

[Liquid 2]

I swear, if my kid was like that, I'd call child services before I killed that little bitch myself

[Tha Xecutioner]

I would drown him in a big pool of chocolate milk.
