http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/gamesblog/2013/jan/10/bioware-writer-toxic-communities To be fair... The Bioware forums are pretty terrible. Maybe we should invite him here, so he can see how awesome a gaming forum could be? |

The guy is right. I do worry about the future, to sound like an old man. The internet brings out the asshole is us all, but I am nervous because in general, I am starting to see the asshole in us all creep into the real world. |

Ive never gotten into an argument with someone over the internet. hmm. I almost did on here because of someones interpretation of tales of vesperia. But just ignored it in the end. I visit the bioware forums often and while I agree that many posts can be very negative but there are also some that are genuine and give good feedback back to the developers on what they should look at and possibly change for future games. |

I'm certainly a different person online. For example, I don't swear in real life. At all. But on here any shit goes. If you hear me say a no-no word in real life, you'll know the world is going to hell. |

That's good to hear. My sampling simply comes for my commute to and from work in the heart of the city. People are becoming loud, mean and crude, or they just hide in their phones. One thing is for sure : the majority of the people lack common courtesy. I also love walking home from the train stop. I take random samples all the time, and I always...and I mean ALWAYS find that more than 5 out of 10 cars that pass me have a driver either talking on cell phone or have head lowered staring down at a smart phone.

Oh man, the damn cell phones. That's where I get old man cranky. People texting away on their phones as you're talking to them is so infuriating. |

We need more cell phone control just as much as we need more gun control |

The one good thing I can say about where I live is that manners are still alive and well here. They sort of pride themselves on it, and most strangers you encounter will be very friendly and courteous. Not crazy about all the students calling me "Ma'am" though, makes me feel old. ![]() On the topic, I've noticed on dev's forums, particularly Gearbox's, how it seems that they are dominated by a very vocal minority of hardcore/elite (for lack of a better term, not crazy about those terms) players. I'm very suspicious that some of the things I'm not crazy about in Borderlands 2 came about because of the feedback that was dominating those forums from these types. Anyways, it is a given that the anonymity of the internet brings out the assholes. I even find myself cussing online more than IRL, and even IRL only ever do so around people I feel very comfortable with. |
