The Mentality of Internet Gamers

How many times have you played a online game that you have come across somebody that you cannot absolutely stand? I seem to find these people more and more frequently in FPS, and MMORPG's. What about you?
Let me describe my encounter for today so you can have a laugh.![[047.gif] :smt047](./images/smilies/047.gif)
I was playing Call of Duty 4 on Bog, against a entire clan called "WPG" or something, sitting with my M16 camping the bomb site on Search and Destroy..waiting for the enemy to come to me. 4 of my teammates instantly die to snipers, and another sniper is left on my team.
I drop one guy coming after me, run out the door, yadda yadda yadda..we end up killing all 6 of them. So I'm preparing for the next round.. I get a message from one of the other team. I listen to it, it says "Why don't you use something other then a M16 you <enter term for a homosexual person here>?" So I happily agree, pull out my automatic shotgun and rush in the bomb site door with my shotgun dropping 2 people with 4 slugs and 1 with a grenade. 3 remain..
Another comes to kill me, I drop him and find a sniper sitting in the bus. I use my silenced pistol to kill him, throw up my UAV and run 5 metres to the middle of the map and shotgun the last guy who also happened to be the guy who sent me the message.
I send him a nice reply "I did as you asked, ironic how I still beat you though..". After a while, his buddies and him leave the party chat and start talking **Filtered** about where I am from (Canada)..so I looked at their profiles one by one and found out something not so shocking.
Ready? THEY WERE AMERICANS! How many countless times have you been insulted by loud mouthed Americans on a online video game trying to act tough just because they want to be as good as you? I can't even count on my fingers or toes anymore.
Next couple maps go the same way..15-2, 12-1, etc etc. Eventually he keeps talking **Filtered** about "I'm 4632 on the score list bud. What about you?" , "How many weeks days months do you have played you no life?!", "You are a terrible <enter term for a homosexual person here>", pretty much every name in the book..after a while he got tired of getting whooped by me and left with his buddies.
EXPLAIN YOUR STORY! We all love to hear how badly people suck at video games and try to make up for their failures by talking **Filtered**.
