Xbox Live Internet Thugs


Recommended Posts

well we know underoath to be one of the good guys and part of the family, so it's clear he's coming from a competitive rather than hateful mindset. even with my cynical outlook on life i'd say the majority of gamers online are OK, they may not be saints, but they don't bother others. there's some that are putting on a tough act but are actually cool, then there's the real jerks and loonies, who are a minority, and a small one at that.

So in other words what I posted a few pages ago?

20040319.jpg

You give a normal person anonymity and a crowd of people and something ticks in their brain to make them -10 years of their actual age and act like complete morons?

If you are actually cool, no, putting on the tough act doesn't do you any good, it makes you look like an absolute plank of wood (N)

I can only assume in getting older people start to realize that, shame really, because getting older for some online seems to be hitting like 30/40, as opposed to an age most people hit "maturity".

LOL, this reminds me of the other day. I joined a WaW game just as it ended and the two top people on the leader board were giving everyone ****. I was against them in the next game and went 36-4. At the end they were silent and I just said ''good game''.

I'm sorry but if I totally raped someone in a game the last thing I would do is talk smack.

LOL @ everyone talking about respect. its a ****ing game man relax. some people like playing games different, if you dont like it then ignore them. dont cry about it. its really not that big of a deal, like i said befor talking smack is something that kinda comes with online game play so get use to it.

its a ****ing game man relax.

If that's the case, tell the people who feel the need to make everyone's ears bleed with profanity/abuse, or even just idiot like remarks to relax :laugh:

I'm positive 99% of the people talking about respect in here just mute idiots or move along, we're merely having a discussion now outside of the game to pinpoint how absolutely ridiculously some people behave. In essence also mocking them for their chosen paths of deliberately making themselves look like retards. We're not mocking the innocent, or those who have no choice just those acting like primitive monkeys.

It's interesting talking about the human brain, or should I say lack of it in some cases relating to this topic ;)

I'm assuming you are talking about how if I was to talk smack to you, you would go 36 and 4 on me? Well, when I get home I'll have my pictures of me playing Gears of War 2 and CoD4 with the stats kills/deaths.

Wtf are you on about. I meant people were talking smack, then I did well and they stfu, and I, instead of talking smack just said ''good game''.

Why the **** would people wana see your stats anyway?

I'm a man of my word and I want to prove to all of you that I do my talk for a great reasoning.

What is this epic quest you speak of?

Just wait and your image is pretty lame and trust me...I'm not trying to start a arguement but provoking me does not help the cause. Hate me or love me, I don't really care. Although, I know most hate me there are a few on this board that actually understand how the Xbox Live system works and most of you are out of the loop. I don't hide behind a microphone either not trying to act big just saying.

Nothing wrong with recording how well you've played, we have a whole massive topic on NW for that.

But trash talking = (N)

Never ever ever does trash talking do anything to benefit you. Even if it's in self defense, the rest of the gamers will kick back and watch you pettily argue with someone.

Makes you come across as an 10 year old idiot, and unless you are 10 years old, WTF would you want people to perceive you that way?

And before we get crossed wires, obviously there is a level of "competitive speak", where you say to the enemy "we're gonna win", "prepare to get destroyed", etc. When that is done right though, you'll get a good response/a chuckle, create some good atmosphere.

But hurling insults at someone because you're scoring higher, or just generally hurling insults is pathetic.

Sorry but playing online is not an excuse: these internet/XBL/PSN thugs would not behave as retarded if they were playing face to face with the other players.

I like online game competition as much as everyone else here. I like seeing my name at the top of the leaderboards/rankings/races finshes but I do not feel the need to belittle or insult the other players of the lobby.

What's your point, UND3RxOATH?

So how does the Xbox Live system work?? I find it funny you take pictures of your end scores. Fact is, you trash talk.

Xbox Live is system full of 13 year olds playing games they shouldn't even be playing (Halo/CoD/Gears). I don't mind repsponding to them since I don't sit there the whole game, also with the new party feature with the NXE most of the talk is gone now. If it wasn't for Xbox Live most of these kids would be back on the PC doing the same thing while playing CS or World of Warcraft talking or typing. Live is a system of life for most kids which gives them the right to harass your message inbox with messages after a game after you destroy them or like most people suck. It's their gateway to having fun without getting killed in person.

You are right nothing is wrong with recording although if I did have a capture card I would be taking up on that feature. I take pictures of games that are just too good to pass up on. There is no self thing as self defense on Xbox Live to be honest unless you want to sit there and cry about someone talking trash about your mom, dad, grandma, etc... .

What's your point, UND3RxOATH?

I'm not saying I go into a game and start talking but most of the people who do end up losing badly. My point is there are some people who back it up.

It's funny when people sit here and feel the need to prove to the world how good they are at a video game. It's almost as bad as the people who can never blame themselves when they get owned. If I lose, it's almost always my fault.

That's pathetic, you back up a good performance by trash talking? Actually it's worse that pathetic.

How about giving yourself a good pat on the back, thanking your team (if it's a team game) and move on? No-one really gives a damn if you're better than someone at a video game.

I'm going to take the blame since I'm the only one defending the trash talkers base on the fact that more than likely 90% of people on XBL do it. Most of you don't care for it or like it and make a thread like this complaining about the system and how we should be banned. I guess everyone who gets in a fight, tells a lie, speaks out of hate, or anything of the sort should be banned and thrown in jail. That's the way I see this thread.

Essentially yes, everyone who can't conduct themselves like a human being on Live should be warned, then banned if they don't learn to. It's basic fundamentals of respect, treat others like you'd like to be treated, or face the consequences. In this case warns, then hopefully a ban.

You're playing alongside other people you don't know. Wouldn't you find it rather strange if someone came up to you in the street and called you a ****** for no reason? Or say because they think they have better shoes than you? (relating to a better game score.)

I'm sure you would find it strange, unpleasant and you wouldn't want to associate yourself with that person <- Same applies to online, people won't want to associate or play with you. Kind of defeats the purpose of playing online if you steam roll everyone you play with into disliking you, no?

All this thread tells me about your personality is you either pretend to be another persona online for whatever sad reason, or in real life you're as much of a disrespectful person as you are online. Which is sad to read if so.

But "90%" of the online rebel hard ass' probably don't act like they do online in real life, falling back on the image I've now posted twice.

I'm saying this again. I don't mind finishing it off. I must be a complete a** because I just like to go around outside in real life slapping me with my hand and laughing at them and saying "OMG GUYZ D1D YOU C THAT HEADSHOT I GOT WITH MY HAND?!?!" no...I don't go around acting like a ass. If someone has something to say, say it don't hide it. If people need violence to get their point across thats when it gets out of control like the stories of people getting murdered of World of Warcraft because a kid ****ed a guy off and then ended up at his house and killed him. Thats when it is out of control. I am cocky and I don't mind the fact but, I don't go around acting as if I'm the president of everyone because I owned someone online and want to just brag about it outside of the box.

I will use a example: at my gears of war 2 tournament my teammate and I are up 3-0 (first to 5) on Security and they come back game is now 3-3. Next thing I hear "Dude matt what's wrong? Can't handle it not good enough?" After than we go on and win 5-3. We play them again in the finals and 5-0 them on Avalanche in less than 5 minutes.

I go home and start playing Mirror's Edge and I look at my friends list and notice both of the people we played removed me from their friends list. I look at my messages and this is what I hear "Your not even good you just run around 2 piecing (slap-and-shoot for those who don't know). That's when it is lame and pathetic.

Although I still believe you hate the fact I no-scoped you on the mongoose in the Halo 3 Beta and it still haunts you this day.

Wow you still remember that and cling onto it? You must not make many RL achievements you remember something from May 2007 lol :laugh:

No Underoath, I don't care about one kill and it certainly doesn't haunt me. I know much better players on Halo & Gears than yourself, both on NW and offline.

I don't need to play with you all the time to know what you're like. Many people have commented it on the forum, on XBL and of course we know about your bannings.

Time to change dude (Y)

Wow you have issues dude, serious issues :|

By the way, when you do plan on starting up the super awesome PM News List again?

I could really careless as to what you say to be honest. I want to see the better Halo and Gears play me, no seriously please.

Wow you have issues dude, serious issues :|

Thank you thank you. Why don't I? I don't want a bunch of non good gamers on it.

We don't care about your stats or your potty mouth. We just want to play a good game, and being a weenie just because you won doesn't make the game good.

Thank you you make my point valid.

    • First time clicking on a Sayan Sen article after he started making clickbait, vague headlines recently. Didn't read, just came here to say the headline doesn't look like very cheap, vague clickbait this time. Are you okay?
    • Good review, and yeah the benchmark breakdown is pretty clear but also a little messy in a good way. It’s kinda interesting to see where the RX 9070 GRE slides in between the 7800 XT and the 9070 XT , especially when it comes to AI tasks and Blender style workloads. The side by side with Nvidia’s RTX 5070 and 4070 makes it feel obvious just how competitive the mid range GPU scene has gotten lately, and that’s great for creators and gamers too since you can pick based on your priorities rather than only chasing one single thing.
    • That's it. I finally uninstalled Firefox because they often keep pushing buggy updates, only to test them later and make users suffer. No longer is it my alternative browser to Edge. What a waste of energy. Firefox is bad for the environment, just like Chrome (wasting RAM/energy).
    • Microsoft Weekly: new Surface, Windows 11 26H2, and more by Taras Buria This week's news recap is here, with Microsoft announcing Windows 11 version 26H2, launching new Surface devices powered by Snapdragon X2 processors, GTA VI preorder date and cover art, fresh Windows 11 preview builds, a quirky phone-sized e-reader with a physical dial, and more. Quick links: Windows 10 and 11 Windows Insider Program Updates are available Reviews are in Gaming news Great deals to check Windows 11 and Windows 10 Here, we talk about everything happening around Microsoft's latest operating system in the Stable channel and preview builds: new features, removed features, controversies, bugs, interesting findings, and more. And, of course, you may find a word or two about older versions. Windows 11 version 26H2 is now official. Alongside Windows 11's new preview builds released this week, Microsoft confirmed version 26H2, which is coming later this year as an enablement package based on the same platform as versions 24H2 and 25H2. A newly published blog post details what IT admins should do to prepare for the upcoming launch. Next, we have new Windows 11 bugs. Users report that this month's security updates for Windows 11 cause all sorts of issues, including BitLocker bugs, OneDrive issues, black screens of death, and third-party integration in Office apps. Microsoft has not confirmed those yet, but it acknowledged other issues with its operating system. What Microsoft has confirmed is a bug where Recycle Bin delete prompts display internal file names instead of actual ones, and a year-old Windows JScript compatibility bug caused by security-focused engine changes. Moving to more positive news, Microsoft and Adobe are working on improving Windows performance in popular creative apps like Photoshop. Thanks to SPGO optimizations, users can expect up to 20% better performance. Finally, we have a few useful articles that can help you recover your PC or make it perform better. For one, we published a guide detailing what to do if your computer cannot boot after a clean Windows 11 install. There are two important steps you can try to get your system back to working in no time. Additionally, there is a more detailed guide on various CPU performance modes that could notably improve performance. Windows Insider Program Here is what Microsoft released for Windows Insiders this week: Builds Canary Channel Builds 28120.2315 and 29613.1000 These two builds include a new built-in audio driver, improvements to audio Settings, and more. Dev Channel Builds 26300.8697 and 26220.8690 Not much is available here. Some File Explorer improvements, Start menu enhancements, bug fixes, and more. However, build 26300.8697 is now officially marked as version 26H2. Updates are available This section covers software, firmware, and other notable updates (released and coming soon) delivering new features, security fixes, improvements, patches, and more from Microsoft and third parties. This week, Microsoft announced its newest Surface devices powered by Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon X2 processors. There is the 12th-gen Surface Pro and the 8th-gen Surface Laptop. Both devices feature little to no visual differences compared to their predecessors from 2024, and most changes hide inside, including a better processor, faster graphics, enhanced NPUs, and more. The Surface Laptop also received a new haptic trackpad. Mozilla is currently working on a major Firefox redesign, and earlier this week, it published a roadmap of upcoming features and highlights of the upcoming "Project Nova" rework. Files, one of the best file managers for Windows 10 and 11, has been updated in the Preview channel with a long-requested feature. Tree View is finally available in version 4.1.4, allowing you to quickly browse deeply nested folders without leaving the main view. In addition, the update improved the Windows Fonts folder, allowing you to preview each font without opening the default viewer. Rufus, another useful Windows 11 utility, also received a notable update. Version 4.15 arrived as beta with important fixes for silent Windows 11 installation. It also includes patches for ARM-based Windows PCs, OneDrive removal improvements, and more. Here are other updates and releases you may find interesting: Microsoft faces shareholder lawsuit over masking AI costs and slowing Azure growth Microsoft now allows you to tweak Visual Studio to new extremes Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users Microsoft fixes one of Excel Copilot's most frustrating limitations Microsoft will finally let you sign in to Edge with a Google account Here are the latest drivers and firmware updates released this week: NVIDIA 610.62 with support for Empulse and various fixes. Reviews are in Here is the hardware and software we reviewed this week Earlier this week, we reviewed the DuRoBo Krono, a portable, phone-sized e-reader with some interesting physical controls. This device has an Apple Watch-like dial for page turning, frontlight adjustment, and more. Software is simple and no-nonsense, but it also lacks some useful features and customization. Overall, the device proved interesting, but not flawless. On the gaming side Learn about upcoming game releases, Xbox rumors, new hardware, software updates, freebies, deals, discounts, and more. Forza Horizon 6 received two big updates this week. Alongside the Series 2 content update, developers pushed plenty of bug fixes and balancing tweaks. However, they also had to acknowledge the Eliminator CR-farming exploit and shut down the online mode temporarily. Luckily, only a few days later, another fix arrived, which re-enabled Eliminator and patched the exploit. Microsoft announced new games for Game Pass subscribers. Those include EA Sports FC 26, Junkster, Call of Duty: Vanguard, Abyssus, RV There Yet?, and more. Some existing games are leaving the catalog, so be sure to check out the full list here. New games are also available for GeForce NOW subscribers, and they include Embers of the Uncrowned Demo, Aphelion, Megastore Simulator, OPERATOR, Citizen Sleeper, and more. Rockstart Games had plenty of GTA-related news this week. For one, the company gave GTA V players another free update. Those still playing the game on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 are no longer required to pay $40 to upgrade to the latest-gen version. More importantly, Rockstar Games revealed the GTA VI cover art and announced the preorder date. The Epic Games Store is giving away two games: Citizen Sleeper and Roboeat.
