7 Most ANNOYING Online Gamers: V-LIST #3

Hey everyone! I'm Lacy, and this is BTW on Bauce. This week, I'm talking about online gaming, specifically the people that you meet online. You know exactly who I'm talking about. They're the people that are always there, and they always annoy you, and yet they never go away.

First, there is the young gamer. This is the gamer that should have been in bed about 20 minutes ago, and yet here they are, still up gaming with you. You know how carnival rides have those rides that you have to be a certain height to be on? Well, how about we have gaming that you have to have voices that are like this low to game? That will eliminate them completely.

Next, you have the guy that lives in his mom's basement. Let's face it, they're still out there. I know free rent is awesome, but there's times that you just need to get out. Just get out!

Then there's the guy that makes fun of everybody's gamertags. This guy, no matter what your gamertag is, he will find something wrong with it. And what I have to say to you, sir, is if your gamertag is Pone Master 69, you should not be criticizing anybody else's gamertag.

Next, we have the guy that hosts games even though his connection sucks. This guy shouldn't be hosting games, and yet he is! So you end up either on the ground in the corner, you can't hear your partners, and you end up getting killed or dropping dead even though you're not dead.

So next, we have the guy that plays music over his headphones. Now, this guy is one of my favorites because you know what? When I come into a lobby, I want to hear your music! No really! If you have angst and you're listening to Eminem, I love Eminem! I'm just going to pop open a Smirnoff Ice and start chugging with you because I know that's probably what you're drinking if you're blasting Eminem in a lobby of a game.

Okay, so next, we have the person that uses cheap weapons to win battles. This guy thinks that the grenade launcher or the rocket launcher is his best friend, or that the ghost in Halo is something that he should constantly be riding the whole entire game. Just because you're getting more kills doesn't mean you're a better player; it just means that you're ruining everybody else's gameplay.

And finally, here's one that really hits home for me: guys that hit on girl gamers. I know I made a mistake in putting "girl" in my gamertag, but it doesn't mean I want you to talk to me! Why don't you just save your energy to beat me in the game, right? I'll gladly talk to you if you can beat me.

Well, that's all I have for you this week, BTW. Those really, really obnoxious gamers? You could always just mute them!
