DecadentBeaver Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Yeah, I did a gs race last year. Was playing Bolt for an easy 1000g. Then this idiot on my f.l started messaging me calling me a kid. Despite the fact I have 14 years on him. Then carried on insulting me. Troll failed as I didn't rise to it. Was able to insult his lack of intelligence and trolled him back. After deleting and blocking him, he made another account to carry on. I don't care if anyone thinks I have no life. Been a gamer for 27 years. Don't game as much now as I have a daughter.

Carmona Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 LOL....being called a nerd or low life by another gamer on xbox live is the same as the pot calling the kettle black. Apparently you cared enough to create a thread about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barad Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 I'm sure everyone has been called something insultive once in their gaming career, point is everyone is grown up enough to not care or take it to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaughter. Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 I get called no life occasionally because I play a lot. I work from home so I have more free time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Craigus Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 I don't really care if any randoms I meet in games call me names or anything. I find it the height of idiocy, and I carry on happy in the knowledge that no matter how much older or younger they are than me, they're infinitely more pathetic than me. When it does bother me is if people I know have anything to say, either directly about me or about gaming itself. My brother in law can often make remarks about gaming being sad and childish, and I'm pretty sure he does it because he knows it's a guaranteed way to get me to bite, but it still bothers me, because he knows me and he knows how big an interest and hobby of mine it is. I hate the dated, inaccurate perception that non-gamers have that gaming is childish, sad, antisocial etc. In my opinion, while there are many games and genres that are made for the younger gamer, gaming (especially this generation) has never been more well aimed at adults. You get so many games now which are rated 15+ or 18+. It's definitely one of my biggest gripes, that and the notion that gaming makes you violent.

Gackt Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Sore losers I beat online always end up using the no life insult because of my GS. Younger generation of gamer's are such childish morons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Driftwood83 Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 I dont see being called a nerd as an insult, lol. But there will always be someone who insults you anonymously, usually because you kick their ass and/or take their mother to a nice sea food dinner and never call them again. When I get someone who sends me an annoying msg I just block them. As for the age thing, I'm 30 and still play games. I dont think its weird, we grew up on games so why would we stop? I still have my original Nintendo system that still works and I remember playing Astroids and ET on my Attari (that makes me feel old, ha ha). Hell, I remember my dad taking me to arcades. How is it different from people who play cards, or chess, or even sports allot? Its a hobby, if you like it, f*ck what others think. This is what uniformed people think gamers are http://www.dmfiat.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/fat_gamer_kid.jpg This is what gamers are really like http://www.thatvideogameblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/grandmas-boy-grown-gamers.jpg (joking) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FatalDeathSG45 Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 I've heard the word "nerd" so much that I don't even consider it an insult anymore. And frankly, I don't care what people say when they see my Gamerscore. I'm proud of my Gamerscore, I'm proud of what I've accomplished in my favorite games, and that's what matters. Anyone who has a problem with my Gamerscore can sit and spin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LickableLemons7 Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Nope. Back when I was in high school I used to be pretty athletic (swim teams). The years go by, I pick up my first 360 in '09. A bit of my friends from high school are on my friend's list, and some were on the swim teams I was in. After a few months of playing Halo 3 I decided to go for the 100% completion, so I did, and I got that done, and I kept moving on to more games. My friends noticed how my gamerscore kept rising from 10,000 to 20,000, then 30,000 (it's 52,030 as of this post, not a whole lot compared to other people on this site but whatever.) and some of them called me a "dweeb" for striving for completions, but I somehow managed to get a third of them into achievement hunting. Nothing wrong with a little friendly competition. I guess some of us can't really see each other very often and hop in a pool and time ourselves, so we race each other in completing games instead. Pretty dorky, but I don't give a fuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DecadentBeaver Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 ive been told im to old to game yet im only 19 years old its ridiculous that some people think once your 18 you wont game annymore Never too old to game. 2 of my friends are still gaming in their 40's. My g/f is 38 and games with me. So age and gender are not an issue. If you enjoy it, do it. Only thing that annoys me as much is people who try and add me as I have a high gamerscore or they like my gamertag. Yes, I have had them reasons. But not as funny as when someone sent a f.r then denied it. Then changed their mind and said they wanted to have more friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaz Of Sparta Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Thankfully I haven't, I'd probably get really wound up if I did though, you have to be really pathetic to insult someone because their gamerscore is higher than yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felonious Monk Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Guy at GameStop said "I thought you had a high gamerscore." about mine. He wouldn't tell me his tag to look up his. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xerofox Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 I've had many run ins with idiots but I've reached an age where I don't care what people say or think. I don't like to waste energy to drop to a level of stupidity that's way below me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmporerDragon Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 While I haven't received any messages about my score, one guy did try to mock me about a post made here where I expressed my annoyance at getting a non-datestamped achievement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spade. Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Been called both of those by friends, but they just joke around, and often help me with my gamerscore, so yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Winged Joker Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Most of the times, I forget about the achievements and I simply enjoy my games until I can start it all over again for a completion run, nor I have ever bought a game just because it was an easy 1000 . But I think that's just another way of enjoying games, and there's nothing wrong about it. I find it quite satisfying every time I devote myself to complete a certain game's achievements list, because that always means I really love that game. I have both the highest gamerscore and the highest number of trophies among my friends, for which I actually receive some sincere praises every once on a while, rather than insults. No need to say you should completely disregard such absurd claims. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKfoy0face Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 for some of you i think nerd would be the correct term to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rivercurse Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Lots of times. Most amusingly by a guy whose gamerscore-per-years-tenure was WAY higher than mine. He got a tongue lashing in the reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dakisbac Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Only my real life friends make fun of me for my gamerscore, but it's all in good fun. We all call ourselves nerds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starstrukk X360A Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 I get made fun of by my friends every now and then because of my high gamerscore when compared to theirs. I just brush it off because I really don't care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyMv94 Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Never neither of those two, but I could tell myself that I can be either of both. Who would call me a nerd or no-life anyway? I don't know anyone with such manner, and my gamerscore doesn't look that high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fozki Razormaid Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Some kid sent a message to my wife asking her I would like to see a picture of your c**t it was when we were playing harms way i mostly get bad rep when i beat someone in multiplayer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakethemuss Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Once had a guy ask if my gamerscore was legit or hacked/modded...prolly because of the high percentage of 1000G games on the list. Most people I have gamed online with tend to have 50-500g for most of their games. Kinda rare to see 1000Gs on profiles outside sh1t like Avatar, Fight Night Round 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
