they have emotions
local legend has it, they never leave their grandmother's basement.
no one in these parts has ever seen one, so this remains unconfirmed.
Yeah... I also loved how he started to storm off then realised that there might be a chance he could win so came back to his seat which just made him more angry when he inevitably lost.
if I was on lan I doubt I'd be giving calls with real names.... I don't do it on Ventrilo so why would I do it in a more important match, would just fuck shit up.
theres people that ive spoken to on vent near daily for the last four years and we still don't use first names, well, only when being sarcastic about something
well on the basis of numbers, i think it is the quake community that are the weird ones with this example
edit: I also think saying Rahul, Jasper, Florian, Mats, and a Finnish name I'm not even sure how to pronounce would be a bit weird, and I'm generally into nerdy shit.
when u meet them in game u use nicks. at what point do u change? using real names feels unnatural to me when u are introduced to someone by their nick. in the same way it feels weird when someone calls me Mr. Surname instead of just my first name.
when you communicate with someone vocally it's a lot more personal than text. just the more you get to know someone the more and more it becomes weird to call them 'lobster'
I can understand his frustration. It's rare to see players in Quake doing something like that, because everything they do in a game is dependent on skill. The worst luck you could have really is just spawns.
In WoW, it's worse. It's essentially just rolling dice. You can have a team that is arguably better than the other one, but yet they can still lose. They could have misses/dodges/resists on their crucial attacks that do the most damage (Like having a resist/doge on an attack from a rogue that just uses all 5 combo points he saved) and that could happen over and over.
I don't know every little detail on it, but from my understanding, that's where the frustration comes from. Think about if our rail shots had a 20% miss chance even if it was a direct hit. If someone is down by 1 frag in the last 10 seconds, and they hit them 3 times with the rail, but that 20% miss was in effect, and ALL THREE missed because of the game, I guarantee you they'd flip out like Swarm from SK or Celex from Gravitas.
Of course, I'm not making excuses for them, but I know a lot of people hate WoW, and don't know a thing about it.
