I've actually been busy with work! Can you believe it? Well, if you want to call what I do "work". But lately, I've taken a little time at night to play Uncharted 2. Problem is, I'm usually stuck playing with a bunch of idiots. Idiots with headsets. It's not that they can't play the game or act like total turds while they play...they just won't shut up! Sometimes I'm amused by the banter, but just the other night, it got down-right stupid. In fact, I now play with my wife's laptop sitting at hand ready to report anyone being a complete prat. Now don't think I'm prude or anything...I'll cuss out anyone in a heartbeat. But I do it all from the comfort of my couch without a headset because let's face it...it's JUST A GAME PEOPLE! Yeah, it's irritating when someone seems to keep getting the drop on you, but that's part of playing the game. You'll have your good games and sometimes you'll be a little off. It's when they're being extremely vulgar and verbally abusive to me or other players just because you got killed off once or twice, that's when I get fed up. Last night, for example, I was matched with a group of 60+ level players. I'm only level 46 and they were absolutely destroying me. That's part of the game. Frustrating, but so be it. They never once trash-talked any of their opponents. In a prior game, however, there was a player on his headset "f-this", "f-that", "I'm gonna skull-f* you for that b*s*!". He even started in on someone because of their gamer tag. Sure, there's a mute button for this reason, but it gets to a point where someone has got to put them in their place. I don't want to play against someone who's going psycho because he's been bested. Again, it takes a lot for me to actually report anyone, but damn, should I really have to? Can't you kids keep your mouths under control? Do you ever just listen to yourselves? You sound like absolute morons! I'd love to be given powers of in-game moderation for a week...
All that said, I could use some intelligent people to party up with and enjoy a friendly game of deathmatch or even co-op on Uncharted 2. Anyone want to join? Hit me up on the PSN...ID - Mori-DogMovies (just drop me a note that you're a Gamespot friend) Until later, cheers!
