It's probably that you're older now and hate younger people because they are annoying little shits, which I think is pretty much the natural order of things.

^^This. I fucking hate being around drunken college kids.

In 1999, the average online gamer was in their thirties. Today, the average online gamer is thirteen and has never been hit in the mouth.

or kissed in one. It's gotta be hard, you aren't living till both happens, so go easy on the little ones.

I had been into computer gaming since I had an Atari that I got for Christmas but back then it wasn't considered gaming. I really didn't get into it until I was in 9th grade, with BBS Door games. I played all the old school FPS, Catacombs of the Abyss, had Doom LAN parties with the Aliens Movie mod. All the Baldur's Gate and Diablo Series. The list is long. I started playing EQ at release. I was 26 years old. I played on live fairly regularly till PoP. Disgusted at what the game had become with that expansion I sold my account January of 2003 and went off to the next big thing.

I'm 40 now. One thing that I've noticed since dusting off EQ and playing here is that back on live, when I would have been driven to anger and retaliation with a flurry of tells, KoS'ing or training morons that had the misfortune of my ire, now I'm finding myself shaking my head, calling them a dumb ass and then going on my merry way.

Now that I'm older, my time is much more valuable than it used to be, and I'd rather spend it entertaining myself than caught up in some bullshit drama with a stupid ass kid.

Being drunk and hanging out with sober people is usually a bummer of a situation, unless you're not supposed to be drunk, then its tolerable.

Welcome to the world of CS:GO. A fuxking terrible game.

literally only competitive game currently worth playing. it's massive fun with friends, and never alone. Solo CS has always been plebeian; you have to found a team if you want to access the real game. Plus the CS skills you've been storing up for the last 15 years are worth something. If you're any good at the game and have a deep sexy resonant commanding voice like mine, 90% of the kids will worship you anyway. CS is literally the only "big" modern game that doesn't have pathetic watered down gameplay, and it allows for real money gambling - I'm a pretty big fan at this point. 1st game worth playing in 5 or 6 years outside of indie world.

:3

The community and "competitive" scene is terrible, but is there any game without a shit community? Even P99's community is absolutely disgusting, and the barrier for entry is way higher than for a major game on Steam. As in all things you get out what you put in. What's great about CS is you can set apart yourself and your intellect with skill at the game and team management, and attract quality people that way.

The only equivalent here is skillful forumquesting and even then, what are you going to attract your forumquest friends to do? Binge on a shitty skill-free grind game until you hate your life again enough to quit? Pretend farming fungis to fund your welfare-level RMT scheme is "pvp"? Where's the catharsis?

If you fund my legal fees, i'll start a "punch adolescent gamers in the mouth" organization.

Hearthstone is fun to play too because there is no trolls to deal with or raging kids.

You can troll in Hearthstone too, you just can't type [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Some asshole mage countering everything you try and trying to get a fast win? Start letting that timer go right down (within a second of ending) on every turn to slow them down [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
