Got to admit for a while there everytime something caught my eye in the sky I automatically thought it was a UAV.

Oh and when I was hooked on the elder scrolls I would notice plants that stood out from the rest and want to pick them to mix for potions.

I'm sad I know

I swear 80% of the internet seems to be negative/hate related. So many forums are just fanboys spouting tech/football/rugby/country hate.

I play MW2 on 360 and when I wear the little wireless headset all you hear the other players saying is...

''Camping f*ggot'
F'ing J*w
F'ing N*gger

Any person with a non American accent gets called a stupid Brit.

So much rage in the world!

LOL yup, there is a lot of anger on the internet.  Kinda reminds me of "The Angry Internet Song" parody that Robert and Jono from The Rock did a while back:

Technology = Anger

Which is caused by impatientness and people being reliant on technology.

oh yes modern warfare is just full of little racist sexist homophobic boys. I stopped playing after being accused of hacking too much, the swearing just got too excessive. 

To avoid being abused you must not:
-use commando or just knifing only in general
-tube
-camp
-use final or last stand
-use one man army
-use akimbo machine pistols or shotguns
-use ump45, rocket launchers, spas-12 or ACRs
-spawn kill

and last but not least  
-be good or win too much lol

so many rules just to play a game peacefully, die modern warfare, die..

on another note can't wait till black ops hah

Thankfully I have only come across a couple of maps with those types of people on them. And even then the mute option was welcomed!!

Were you playing on console or PC?  I feel that PC has more mature players on it (based on what I have heard from console players).  There are definately some young sounding players, but no where as many, as it sounds there are, on console.

I played on both the ps3 and the computer. I agree that the pc users are a lot more mature, you don't find many kids playing pc but they are still present.
Ps3 is just filled with little kids on the other hand, you can rack up some high kills on ps3 as opposed to pc but you also get more abuse.
Everyone seems to have a headset and an opinion that they can't keep to themselves lol

Yeah I think that is why there isnt so much abuse on PC, not everyone has a head set.

I have seen some videos of console games, it cracks me up that as soon as a better player beats someone a couple of times they instantly call them a hacker/cheater! It is a console, good luck finding many hacks for that!

PC on the other hand, I have entered into a couple of hacked games, fun at the time, but would annoy me if it happened any more.  I have a backup of my profile so not to worried by it :P
