The immature online gamers everyone hates

I'm guessing they do record all in-game voice chat.

Giantbombcast was cool this week, I liked the guest speaker they had who was talking about fighting game tournaments...

I listened to that poscast too. Some of them were funny, like the one calling him a fat fuck. : )

I liked when the one guy called him a redneck. He's Jewish and lives on Long Island. 😕

Thank god he's not a woman

The only time I've had these experiences is when I played Halo. Other than that, I've gotten nice messages like during halo or sf4 saying nice fight...etc etc

Its pretty bad that I reported two different people in the past two weeks playing COD4. One time due to non-stop racist remarks and another due to homophobic remarks and constant screaming and cursing. I usually just hit the mute, but when it is that bad I report folks.

Yeah I just reported a guy on CoD4 last night. Normally, like you, I just mute, but this guy was over the top. Used every racial slur in the book and just would not shutup. No one was even talking to him or in general (really couldn't since he wouldn't stop). Eventually got fed up and submitted a complaint.

I can understand getting involved in the game and letting out a few curse words here and there, but this guy was ridiculous.

Ya, the two I reported recently were just ridiculous. I am ok with some trash talk and all as long as its in good fun.

I think it was mentioned in the Major Nelson podcast months ago, when he was discussing how they handle complaints that people file.

I'm glad that people are reporting the obnoxious users - I believe Microsoft does want to make Xbox Live a more pleasant place to play games, but they rely on users to report each other. I think a good portion of people don't bother reporting anyone.
