Quite possibly the greatest text message troll ever.

You can and you should. Then you should beat the shit out of him with a steel pipe and post pics on facebook. For the lulz

Nah, one sharp poke in the ribs is enough to disable him. 

I want to game, sure.

I'm just not sure about if it will be more fun than any of the shit.

Private server with friends / other women would be a whole other matter, of course, I'd be on that shit like jam on toast. 

Having to go to the extra effort to find such a group is annoying, but probably worth it.

Then you will enjoy the PD minecraft server when it is up.

Public lobbies are shit anyway. In terms of the level of game you can pick up there. Mostly complete fuckheads who have no idea how to play the damn game.

Private lobbies are always more rewarding, imo and clan action is where it's at if you have the time. Once you get away from the public lobbies the abusive bullshit will reduce to practically nil, aside from smack talk, that is and even that is pretty strictly regulated in terms of what you can and can't say to people.

Yes, I probably will, once I get proper broadband,  (which is coming soon. YAY!)

Jesus fuck, I had a dream this guy found where I lived and tried to come over.

Your subconscious is being mean to you. beat it up.

Having pretended to be a woman on chatrooms to troll before now, I can say with some authority that this type of man is far too common for my personal comfort.

Or that internet chatrooms attract antisocial and/or twisted assholes who can't function, you know, in real life.

One or the other.

Yes.  That too.  But enough about me.

Cain, as someone who does online gaming what are your experiences of hearing that kind of thing?

Xbox is shit.  It's full of 12 year old internet ninja SEAL commandos who will show you your place.

PC gaming is better, to a degree.  I mostly still play Mass Effect 3 multiplayer, and on PC it's almost entirely silent, with the occasional "thanks" or "watch out behind you".  But then Bioware tends to attract a larger number of female and older gamers anyway, so the overall fanbase tends to be less hostile. Also, co-op in theory means everyone is on the same side.  In theory.

I hear of things sometimes happening, via the forums, but it's pretty rare outside of Xbox.

Also, just so you can put my experience into context, I play public lobbies almost exclusively.  Friends only lobbies and clans are for losers with skinny weiners who cannot carry a match on their own.

Cool. I've also heard that games with reputation and feedback systems in place are better.

[Cain]

They definitely help, yes, though they can be susceptible to "mob rule" type sentiments, which easily proliferate online.

We must be the only people that play online without a headset. My online gaming is mostly through Everquest (mainly because I suck at multiplayer), but my husband and son do online through xbox and we never hear anyone talk.
