disturbing experience with a freeper in a halo game.
ok, yes, I'm 46, and yes, I play halo on my computer to unwind once in a while.
on days when I'm really angry at this administration, I play with the profile "impeachbush".
I usually get a variety of reactions, all expected.

The other night, I picked a random game. Once there, I noticed someone named "Dubya" and someone named "GWB" I purposely did not say anything, because I just wanted to play.

a few minutes in, he types in "http://killaliberal.com".

now, I don't think this is a real address, but I find the sentiment disturbing. Didn't bother my playing any, as I whopped his butt, but good. He left, whimpering.

:)

1. Sicko.
Wannabet one of those players WAS Dubya? We know he's not interested in actually doing his job.

2. If you run into him again,
just enter www.moronsrus.com

It's pretty obvious, even to half the last batch of Dubya voters, that things are not right with this port deal.

Fuck em. Liberals own guns too.

For the ball-less Bushbot.

4. Hmmm
Interesting. When comparing Bush and Hitler's reign, you have so many similarities. This is one of them. Hitler didn't treat the Socialists and Communists, or the members of any other party as political adversaries, but immediately pursued them as enemies, and indeed did kill many of them, and tortured a lot of them too. The current Republican revolution has adopted the same techniques as the third-reich, by turning opponents into hated enemies only worthy of being killed. Is it any surprise that Nazis are feeling increasingly comfortable protesting in the streets of America? I don't think so, it is just an outgrowth of this fascist regime.

6. Don't play Halo
But I do "fly" on-line with a bunch of ex-Marines (Corsairs - SW Pacific). These guys are the biggest bunch of Bush Bots to come down the pike in a long time. Over the past 6 year we have had many a discussion. However it seems that I now have the upper hand. Whenever you on them makes a comment over the radio comms, I can now shut them up by simply saying something about the Ports deal. They are not happy campers over that issue.

10. The Ports issue knocks down their house of cards.
A lot of these PINO's (Patriots in Name Only) live in a fantasy built of phrasings from extremist RW radio and cable news pundits. So long as only those phrasings are accepted as "factual" their fantasy retains the appearance of solidity.

However, the Ports issue is an undeniable, hard fact of reality. It cannot be ignored, and it shatters the foundation of every one of their phrases.

7. Mark of a Bushbot
Resorting to childish behavior due to an inability to respond logically or debate on an intellectual level. They remind me of the immature bullies on a school playground who taunt other kids.

I'm glad you whopped his ass.

15. I love COD, and I really enjoy beating the crap out of the 14 yr old
"super soldiers". Where are you based? I've been looking, but haven't found any acceptable clans in my area. I'm in the SouthWest and get good pings from LA to Dallas.

For all those of you who watch the Simpsons, this is what homer referred to moron* as.

I'm an older gamer too.

Like the idea about anti-* tags though. Play online as ubern00b as I seem to do better against bots.

I haven't played DOD in a while, I like the BAR.

20. I would do that, but I suck at COD
When I play, I figure if I can keep my death/kill ratio at 2/1 I've had a good game. That wouldn't reflect very well on us, so I often just use silly screen names I think up from time to time.

Edited on Sun Feb-26-06 09:34 PM by WildEyedLiberal
I get fragged twice as often as I get a kill - I'm so rusty and out of practice, and I don't have time to play regularly. So I avoid going by a political handle because I suck too bad to live up to it. x(

Fate has been cruel to me, however. When I was in high school and homework took like 5 minutes, ALL I DID was play Team Fortress Classic - on my 56k modem. My ping sucked, and therefore so did I, although I played religiously enough that I would've pwned on a cable modem or LAN.

Now that I'm in college and my apartment has T1, I have no time for PC games. It's so sad and cruel :cry: I used to have skills, I swear!

13. My high school senior son usually has 7 or 8 of his friends,
they have 3 or so tv's, gaming stuff, it is 'bring your own snack and soda' stuff, and they play 'Halo' until the wee hours----quietest bunch of teenaged guys that you can have around. Matter of fact, my son is just getting home carrying his TV from staying at his friend's house. I'm recovering from the flu, so I guess they thought they would have bothered me. (I'm not saying a word.)

Now, my 16 year old daughter and her friends--OMG!

16. Craigslist R&R, San Diego has freeps calling out for murder of liberals...
on a regular basis. They also call out the killing of gays, muslims, blacks, mexicans, asians...
I'm sure those sites are monitored like ours is. Why doesnt Homeland Security or any other "security" organization track those threateners down?
Now I'm sure that if I called out for all repugs, Xtians or for GWB 's murder, I'd be paid a visit.
You see who's running the show here?

22. We *Do*?!!
I live in San Diego. There are actually people here who want to kill people like me? They must be fans of that jerk Roger Hedgecock (he's a radio talk show host here who thinks he's Rush Limbaugh).

19. Did he accuse you of cheating before he left? That's pretty typical
for the kids in COD.

28. not from him, but I've had that before from others. that and
"noob" which I find hilarious because it always comes after you've just killed them. To which I normally reply: if I"m a noob, and just frosted you, what does that make you?

I'm a fairly good player, and I can usually predict where people are heading, so when I kill them with a well placed nade or rocket or what have you, they accuse me of "printscreening". I have to tell them I'm on a mac, so that isn't even possible.

LOL
..

the worst is when they use racial slurs or homophobic comments. Sometimes I call them on it, sometimes I don't.

32. I have no idea.
they use "gay" to equate with "lame", which I find disturbing and annoying. Its so pervasive in their age group.

30. LOL! good one.
I like to joke around when I play, like typing "ouchies" when I get slaughtered, but I get really tired of the whinybutts.
Especially when my team is outmatched, and I've just died for the 50th time just trying to get over the ridge past the tanks, and my whinybutt teammate camping out inside the base starts complaining why we're not getting the flag.

33. Funny
I've yet to meet a chickenhawk with ability when it comes to tactical/strategic simulations. They all do the same thing: don't plan ahead, don't watch other players' patterns, just assume running in full bore will win the game. Hey, now why does that sounds familiar? :P

We have to stand up to thast shit... the longer they get away with it, the more they will do it. Reporting it as hate speech to incite violence will put people like that on notice. Do not ignore shit like that...

Come on liberals.... stop taking the high road.
