The Douches You Meet on Xbox Live

When I started the blog, I didn't intend for it to be solely WoW based. I am a nerd at heart and in broadening my gamer nerd horizon, I played me some Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. I have to come right out and say, it lives up to ALL the hype. I am not a hardcore FPS gamer, but I do enjoy them, and I can say without a doubt Modern Warfare 2 is flat out fun. Any FPS fan should DEFINITELY have this on the top of their Christmas list.

What I wanted to present today, is the general attitude of Xbox Live from a WoW players perspective.

On WoW, you may think the spam and trash talk is out of control with barely any monitoring, but wait until you get a dose of Xbox Live. The anonymity of the internet + the instant communication over a headset + the rages over being killed and losing + the blame game and pointing fingers at "scrub players" + hardly any discipline from the Xbox Live Overlords = The most insane trash talk you have ever heard. If you compare this to WoW, the most trash talk you can get is some text in a chat log that is easily reportable and the WoW Overlords hand out bans like candy to children for even the littlest Anal [Obsidian Warbeads] offense. In both cases though you can chose to ignore/mute the person so, yes, it can easily be avoided. However, where's the fun in that? ;)

The only other thing I want to add, is how funny it is when you get to here actually HOW nerdy and young some of these same pointing finger trash talkers from WoW are when they are on a headset.

Keeping this one short. Check out Modern Warfare 2 if you are into FPS games and be prepared to enjoy the douches you meet on Xbox Live.
