I've just about had it...

Even though I generally don't mind any kind of gamer, whether they're hardcore or casual. But today marks the day where it exceeded the limit between me and casual gamers and Halo fanboys. Today at school, at lunch, a kid who's been sorta friends with me this whole semester kept asking me why I'm never on Halo 3, and I keep telling him that it's because there are other games I like playing too and H3 isn't exactly the best. But do you want to know his and only response that he has been making to me when he's been asking me that same question over and over again ever since the beginning of this semester? He makes this bratty frown at me and says "How can you not be addicted to Halo 3? Get on Halo 3 today!"

The continuation of the conversation:

Friend: "What's your rank?"
Me: "Sergeant Grade 3"
Friend: "That's sad! Get on Halo 3 more!"
Me: "I've already told you that I've got other games on my 360 that I enjoy more playing!"
Other kids at lunch table: "That's because you're gay *laughs*"

I mean seriously, I like my 360 a lot and even though Halo 3 isn't necessarily a bad game, it's just so overhyped and overrated! And the Halo fanboys, especially at my school...don't get me started on them.

Then I proceeded to make a deal with my friend by saying "If you stop bugging me to get on Halo 3, I'll tell you why I'm never on it anymore." Then he responds by saying "What the hell? That's the only time I've asked you to get on Halo 3!"

Yeah...mmhmm...right...:roll:

And in my final period **** he talks to me by the end of the day by saying, again, "You really need to get on Halo 3. And what's so special about Devil May Cry or whatever?" He said this because I added him on my XBL friends list a couple of days ago and he looked at my recent games played and he saw Devil May Cry 4 listed. But after that, one of his best friends (who is seriously one of the biggest dumbasses on the planet) says "Devil May Cry...hmm...Why don't you go play Dungeons and Dragons" Then my friend responds with a dying laughter.

I just posted this topic to notify everyone that I've pretty much had it with casual gamers and Halo fanboys from my school, they consider themselves true gamers but they're really fakers who can't ever be considered true gamers, and by saying "friend" in this topic multiple times, I really meant to say that because I wanted to make sure that y'all understand what was going on with these conversations I had today.

Are your friends 5?

Its kids like this that keep me from playing Halo 3 on a regular basis.

No we're all freshman in High School, and I'm not really surprised in the sense they all love H3 since the only games mentioned in high school are Halo, Madden, Guitar Hero, GTA (and sometimes Call of Duty 4).

That sounds like an idea actually, since he never comes over to my house anyways...

When he said "Are your friends 5?" He meant it in a sarcastic way.

tell him to get on COD4 more :P

but really, at least COD4 isn't as overhyped or as overrated as Halo 3. they're both not bad, but Halo fanboys are pretty stupid.

Cesar_Barba

well yeah, true. but still. there are some that are pretty annoying

Sounds like you need some new friends.GameMasterCraig

Lemme ask you a quick question:

How old are your friends and what meds are they on?

If you seriously have convos like that at the lunch table, it's time to grab the brass knuckes.

I say get on Halo 3, be on the opposing team to your "friend" and show him a taste of your own medicine!Elann2008

haha, exactly

Tell him you have a life outside of video games. beutlich99

What's even funnier is that the kid who keeps bugging me to get on Halo 3 also has Call of Duty 4, except though he calls it "cheap" because he describes how he's dying all the time (and I almost died from laughter one time when he said he got shot in the foot and died in COD4). So I'm supposing he's a real definition of a "noob" if that's the case.

You sound like a smart kid. I'd like to tell you that it gets better...but really it doesn't. Whether it be games or life, you do what YOU want, not what some dumbasses think you should be doing because it's popular. But it sounds like you've already figured that out.fedgem

i agree. it's all about what you want do, not what they want you to do.

Delete them from your friends list and quit hanging out with losers which only play videogames get in where the going is good: Girls!!iamcanadian69

This guy's got a point.

Wow, thanks for the notification, I'll make sure to remember that the next time I never see you again.

This is nothing unique to Halo, I've had friends do the same thing with Counter-Strike, WoW, CoD4, GeoW, StarCraft, Age of Empires, and numerous other games. I take it as a compliment, it means that they want to play with me. Just don't try and start an argument over why you don't like Halo 3.

ewwww..... freshmen....

This same thing happened to me. It was back before HALO 2 and HALF-LIFE 2 came out and I happened to say HALF-LIFE 2 is going to be better than HALO 2. They didn't seem to think so and spend the rest of the YEAR making my life horrible. Finally both games came out and after a while they realized they were wrong. The moral of the story, don't give a crap. If they want to be stupid then let them be. Sooner or later they will get bored with it, then you can make fun of them.ziproy

Man when I was a Freshman we were arguing about which was better...SNES or Genesis. God I feel old.

Halo 3 sucks anyway. It's made for 10 year olds, I'm not sure how it got an M rating honestly. If Halo 3 is their favorite game, they really are sellin themselves short.mohfrontline
