I am an online A-hole!

Tip #12: Ready Up!
When waiting in the lobby for a multiplayer game to start, yell for people to press the Ready button.

Thats the only one I do, and thats only in GRAW1/2 cause the hosts are "friendly and won't start until everyone is ready.

Its pisses me off. Other then that there is a reason I'm in the recreation zone on XBL.
 
I guess I'm not an online asshole after all. Maybe I should work harder...

Although I can't say I'm totally innocent. I let one jack-ass have it after a 30 minute match in GRAW where he did nothing but slam everyone and tell them they need to practice more. He pretty much did everything on that list.

Anyhow, the match ended and he was doing his thing:

"That's right, you all suck. Yep, here come the results and. . . I lost? No fucking way."

Well, I won that round and then promptly went off on him; then the rest of the room joined in. He didn't speak a word after that.

Sorry for getting off track. Great article, by the way. Thanks for posting it.
 
In the rare event that I play an online game on Xbox Live, I don't really talk. Most of the time I do, though, it's to tell the players that I've got the flag, where I'm going, stuff like that. I'll also swear to myself whenever I get my ass kicked, which is usually on a regular basis.
 
I usually ask guys guilty of #1 to turn down their mic a little . . . a little more . . . a little more . . . a little more (until their mic is off). :)

Beer + Gears is pwnage
 
haha that was pretty funny. I haven't used any of em, but the one that intrigues me is the "Go play mario kart instead of PGR3" one... xD
 
I bitch about lag all the time, but then again I play the horridly coded lost planet online where a rocket goes 20 feet to your left and you die.

Read Up doesn't bother me, but the fuckers who bitch the instant the room hits the cap. It's as if they are sitting there biting their tongue waiting for the moment to come where they can yell "Start the game!"
 
I don't know who I hate more; the bona fide, legitimate a-hole who's that way every waking moment of his life, online or off, or the relatively smart and decent gamer who could be civil online, but considers being an "a-hole" the 'sporting' thing to do.

Why does it have to be that way? What sort of deficiencies as a human being does it start to compensate for? And no, there is no stick up my rectum...a-hole.
 
ya freaking lost planet...the online is still good but today I was playing it and this guy just lagged all over my screen... I think I was shooting him for at least 30 seconds as he froze there, then he'd warp behind me, I'd shoot him another 30 seconds as he's frozen, still alive, then I find myself waiting for a respawn. Also, wth is up with using the Vital Suits and shooting a rocket right on a freaking guy 4 times when he's standing right in front of you yet he doesn't die or even roll over, taking damage! HONESTLY I don't even use vital suits anymore cause it simply doesnt work half the time even when there appears to be no lag.

Don't forget the lisp caused by braces.
 
I often times play without even using my mic, so I'm usually 0/10.

HOWEVER, those rare times I can be baothered to talk to people, I definitly get the "Swear Like A Salior" "Blame Lag" "Talk to other people not actually playing" awards.

Tip #4: Blame Lag
Its true! Being behind a router causes all kinds of issues if you don't use specific port forwarding.

Tip #6: Ridicule Others
Obviously if I'm better than you, I have to let you know it.

Tip #10: Quit When Losing
They may get the satisfaction of having me leave but I'll be damned if they get the kill.

Tip #11: Act as if You're Playing The Worst Game Ever Designed
My excuse, this is the closest thing to a game I want to play that exists.
