But he doesn’t like ‘those’ people that are annoying (who does?). My experience has been the opposite. Almost all of my online gaming is exclusive to strangers or strangers that have turned into friends. I never, ever, play with real life people. The reason why is that people are very different on the Internet then they are in real life. Most real life people I know sound like noobs on the Internet. Also, I have the personality of ‘trying to win’. When I play a RTS or MMORPG, my focus is on winning. If I lose, I watch replays on how I died. When I win, I watch replays of my glorious victory and try to guess what the opponent was thinking as I slaughtered him. I *love* team games in RTS. However, I demand the same consistent dedication from my teammates. My real life friends don’t have that dedication. They simply are surprised how fast they are blown away on the Internet, and I am shaking my head. Gaming skills decline when you are older and have a life. However, gaming skills take a severe drop downward once you get married. Once you have a kid, your gaming skills go into ‘retard mode’. All my real life friends have kids so they lack that competitive drive. In MMORPGs, I have tried both real life and strangers through various servers and characters in WoW. Real life people were better to do RAIDs but I realized that I never liked playing online with real life people. I prefer the more spontaneous stranger approach. It is really fun to just meet someone and become friends when your game personalities match. When WoW came out, I ended up being a buddy to a player in Russia (even though Russia didn’t get the game until much, much later). However, my online playing was before voice chat became popular. I *despise* voice chat as I despise telephones. Voice chat, to me, seems girly as if I have somehow become a fourteen year old girl chatting over the phone for hours about something irrelevant (which is what MMORPG is). I prefer text perhaps due to my ultra-fast typing skills. In all cases, I choose text over voice chat and this, hilariously, annoys some people. Voice chat in a MMORPG makes me feel I am in some bizzarro hotline that has a video game. This might be why I like the Wii Chat speaker. It doesn’t remind me of a stupid telephone but more of a room to room communication.

I find myself muting more people in CoD4 than I do shooting them sometimes.

It is good not having to turn anything on or whack anything in your ear, although you do have to adjust output volume on some games as the viop comes from the tv rather than going direct to your ear.

Kicking people who don't wanna do the challenges. Its the single most annoying thing imo. That’s all I seem to do in Burnout. Kicking people who don’t wanna do the challenges.

Most fun I've had so far online? Warhawk, probably. What do I hate about online play? Kids screaming rubbish through their mics and campers. I really enjoy competitive play.

With the way the servers are ran it's up to the admins to decide what goes on the server. So once you find a server that is run by mature like minded people (admittedly hard on CS:S) then the experience is usually a lot better. Personally I think TF2 and CS:S get the moderation spot on.
