That was a nice article. Glad i don't play online much. Even though its fun trolls can be very annoying which is funny you didn't put those here. I remember when i was playing RE5 online in mercenaries, a troll i used to play with kept playing with me and we were like 130 combos in and then he quit the game. He did that multiple times and i wanted to punch in him in the damn face. I will definitely do that if i ever saw him.

The trick is to find the right people to game with. I learned that early on with Team Fortress 2 retail. I ended up being grouped on a server that had a spot for one more player.

We played for hours having a blast and just getting along. I still play with them today.

I also found another group to join for other games and I game with them on console.

It makes gaming so much easier and enjoyable.

That doesn't mean that I won't jump in randomly and play some BF or COD just for kicks. And, now that the PS4 allows me to stream and upload to Youtube, I can record my griefing of racists, which is fun, fun, fun! Nothing better than making them rage quit. Lulz.

There's only one thing that REALLY grinds my gears. Whenever I'm playing Exo Survival in Advanced Warfare I always go out of my way to revive my teamates as soon as possible even if we have to fail the objective but whenever I go down the bloody bastards don't even bother to revive me and we end up all dying and losing. 😡

The Xbox controller looks better, logo is less intrusive.

Hmph, you were lucky enough to be playing games with a yorkshire tea controller!

Back in my day we only had rectangular controllers that would give you blisters and wear your thumbs down to a nub!

"The profit of these tournaments is directly impacted by these new rules, as sponsorships are being forbidden, maximum prize money is limited to $5,000, and food/drinks can’t be sold at the tournaments."

Why even bother.

1 thing I've realized over the years is that Nintendo likes bragging about "fun", but it's "fun" how they see fit, and they often go against their consumers for the dumbest reasons. Just gonna do this stuff underground style, who are Nintendo to stop anyone from organizing community based tournaments anyway? How does this actually hurt em?

They've always wanted smash to be seen as a fun, casual game and nothing remotely competitive, which is in stark contrast with how Sakurai develops smash. He puts in so many little things to master for high level competitors. It's just sad, especially for the melee community. They kept the community going for 2 decades now even while all the time nintendo was trying to sabotage them.
