Well damn, I was missing a lot.

Yea all I need now an an option to block all british guy's with mic's. No offence to any of you on here. But your kind are annoying as hell on XBox live and I know that's not just my opinion.

 

[★Chuck Zombie★]

The British are annoying? I want to block anyone under 18 with a mic. Man...they sing and make noises and if you tell them to shut up they just do it more. Once I heard this kid (who sounded like he was white, but you never know) say the n-word, and a guy (who sounded like a black guy, but again, you never know) got pissed and told him to stop. So what does the kid do? Says it over and over again for a long ass time. I was playing CoD4 and I stayed on for another 20 minutes or so after he started and when I left he was still doing it.

 

[Wordlife]

^lol I know.... kids piss me off so much on xbox live more than anything. They try to be superior when they talk and think they're sooooooooo damn good when they play, ESPECIALLY Gears of War.... OMG!!! Shut the fuck up, stop using the lancer, stop glitching, and stop your fuckin whining when I rape your ass... The British people, though annoying as allllll hell, have and are NOTHING compared to those 13 yr old homos on xbl I swear

I wish there was a game feature where you can specifically play with people your age, younger, older, etc... thatd be pretty cool, so you dont have to worry about this shit

 

[Brandon Blaze]

I didn't sing or anything when I had my 360 and X-Box Live...Playing games like Halo 3 and others I talked when I needed to and about the game..not some stupid crap..

But thats cool...I might need to do a few things around to house to get me some money to try and get one of these bad boys again and then get X-Box Live again and all that...

You know you can submit a report against a player right? I did that once. Was playing Uno on the Live Arcade, and this guy who was American cept spouting off how they should invade "Canada who are just as bad as the dirty mexicans" and there was a mexican as well in the game. We all submitted a negative report and his account was deleted. Microsoft records all Live interactions, and occationally is listening in. If there is a report made from a existing game they can go back and listen to what was said and if they confirm the negative report, then its done.

 

[★Chuck Zombie★]

Damn, I didn't know they recorded it. I'm sure the black guy reported him though....at least I hope so.

 

[Wordlife]

lol I reported this guy once, he got pissed and snapped on all of us, but he got kicked off.... it was awesome lol

 

[This Guy]

Yeah they do...so anyone who ever thought about having cyber sex using the live vision camera with a girl....yeah probably not smart. lol However you got to wonder if thats what microsoft wanted when they created it though...don't know how many people know this, but when your in a video conversation (not in a game) if you press the trigger buttons on your controller the person your talking to controller vibrates......makes you think doesn't it? lol

 

[Wordlife]

oh wow, I never tried that. I think I need to try that now.... does the controller really vibrate when you do that? LOL OMG!!! WATCH MY PLAY WITH MYSELF 2HOTFORLOVE69!!! PUSH THOSE LT LB RT RB BUTTONS MAN! lol wow

 

[This Guy]

Yeah it does. I remember when the vision camera first came out, Major Nelson's minute. It may not do it anymore though. Firmware may have changed that, but at one point it definatly did. Sadly my gutter mind imediatly though, Cyber Sex properties. lol But then I learned about the security features that they added to make sure nothing offensive or illegal was happening on Live and it was like, well glad I'm not into Cyber Sex. lol

 

[J]

What ever they do ain't working that good. Cause like Wrestlemania where Cena vs. Micheals, my minds blanked right now. My friend brought his vision camera over and we got bored and convinced some girl to take her top off for us. Lol. Btw she was hawt.

 

[This Guy]

They won't ban you for stuff like that, someone has to complain. I was playing uno once with a bunch of guys and this one guy was sitting aways back from his tv on the couch and this hot girl kept walking by and someone finally asked who it was, and the guy says, its my Gf and then tells her to say hi. Her way of saying hi was to stip infront of the camera. If no one complains they won't kick you off. They don't review unless theres a reason to, and they only randomly watch stuff. Stipping on Camera is not a crime.
