Recently I was playing Borderlands on Xbox live. I am new to the game, so I didn't mind when a young kid was giving me items and showing me how to play. He seemed nice enough, and there hadn't been any racial slurs, so I figured why not? I'll keep playing. Shortly after we decided to be friends, he tried to get me to pretend to be his dad. It was awkward, and I felt bad for the kid, but I couldn't help pressing the power button, backing away from the tv, and curling up in the fetal position.

While recently playing Team Fortress 2, some of the players got into a conversation about the new option to rename weapons and what names to use, some were genuinely funny, some where pop culture references, etc. Soon though one of the younger players stated he wanted a suggestion to for a weapon by asking "My flame thrower is good at blowing people, what should I call it?" which was immediately replied with "name it after your sister."

I was playing Left 4 Dead 2 online and I started making conversation with a guy on my team. I told him I was having a good vacation, and then asked him "are you on Spring Break, too?" to which he replied "everyday is spring break when you're unemployed."

RANDOM DUDE WITH A MIC: I live in Boston, I'm unemployed right now, and I have to raise my 2 and a half year old daughter. All I do all day is take care of her and play zombies. I know the entire map by heart, and NO DON'T SHOOT THE CRAWLERS!!!

I started playing Halo Reach on Xbox live and hear some twelve year old talking. I guess he was doing science homework or something because he asked "Hey, my teacher wants to know how many atoms are on a penny. I think it's a trick question 'cause JOHN ATOMS (his words) is on the penny, so I should put one." He then proceeds to talk about how maybe the answer is 1991 because that is the date on the penny. He then decides his final answer is 1992, which he got by adding his two answers together. Then he said "I can't wait to be my only one in this class to get the right answer. He could not figure out why everyone was laughing at him.

I was playing a round of MW2 TDM on Trailer Park. After the match was over, I heard someone with a southern accent saying the reason he did so badly was that he had dial-up. Free dial-up, at that. He was also playing on a black-and-white TV.

A while ago I was playing Halo 3 and there were two players called Obama( ) and America( ). And I guess they were playing like anyone else, when Obama betrayed America, and so there stood: Obama( ) betrayed America( ). I was playing with a bunch of friends, so we laughed our ass off.

I was playing black ops one night and heard in the lobby a few people talking. During their conversation one of them blurted out "Cody's sister pissed in the fridge dude."

So one day me and my buddy Dilly were playing RBSV2 with a guy who must have been 13 to 15 years old. We started hearing his mom on the other end of the mic. His mom was asking him if he was gay or not, because she was trying to set him up with the neighbor's gay son. His reply to his mother was "I'm only gay on Tuesday, Mom!"

While playing a game of Halo 2 a while back my friends and I were playing a marathon of team slayer with our Aussie friend Static. After about an hour or so, one of our friends left and was promptly replaced with my friend's little brother. After a particularly exciting game where Static went 18-0 my friend's little brother stated the following:
Brother: Static I've been wondering something.
Static: Yes?
Brother: How the hell do you get electricity to your hut?
There was a long silence followed by a burst of laughter when we realized he was serious.
Static: I have a kangaroo on a treadmill in my backyard.

So I was playing some Free Roam on Red Dead Redemption and I pass this guy who is just standing out in a field doing nothing. I ride up and all I hear on his mic is "fap, fap, fap, fap,fap" followed by grunting.

One day while playing MW2 with a coworker, he said "The bigger they are, the harder they fall" since he unlocked the challenge. I regret it to this day, but my response was "No, the bigger they are, the harder you choke!" He never really looked at me the same.

So there I am being an idiot on the Wii version of black ops using the headbanger headset and singing Justin Bieber songs very badly and this kid is all like "shut up! You can't even sing!" throughout the entire four matches he put up with me. Fortunately the Wii didn't have headsets before so all these six year olds don't know about the muting option. Now I can sing Justin Bieber all day and these six year olds have to put up with it.

I was playing a free-for-all wager match on Black Ops, and after discovering he wasn't the only one with a mic, a guy spoke up and said, "Hey, is it strange that I'm playing Call of Duty naked?" I responded: "Not if you win."

I went into a lobby the other day and came in mid-conversation between 10-year olds.
Kid 1: So, how many kids do you want when you get older?
Kid 2: I don't know, 5? Yeah, 5.
Kid 1: Cool, I want 3, one for each gender!
long pause
Kid 1: Boy, Girl, and abortion!

Me and a friend were playing COD4 and a little kid who was probably 10Â on our team would say "you're a little bitch" every time he would die. Eventually my friend asked him where he heard that from and he replied with "That's what my dad says to my mom" in a little whiny voice.Â

I was playing MW2 with my friend when I called in an Attack Helicopter.
Me: Attack Helicopter! I choose you!
Friend: A wild helicopter appears.
Me: Attack Helicopter, use Big Ass Machinegun!
Friend: It's super effective!
Then the enemy shot my helicopter down.
Me: Attack Helicopter has fainted.
