	shads theb0g 11:45 12/2/2003	that's nothing to do with the influence of cs & internet games though is it, that's completely different, those are the people who are just generally nice people anyway and know how to be humane - they act well on the net & at lan, but the people who act like tossers on the net wouldnt be doing it in rl which is where the influence of cs/internet comes in [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	Otis Rush! 11:49 12/2/2003	yeah but think of all the ppl/mates you wouldnt have met if you hadnt have played cs online. [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]

	shads theb0g 11:58 12/2/2003	yeah but still, i just think the internet brings out the worst in just about everyone, i can only think of 2 people who i have never seen act like a tosser on the net in 3 years of cs, b0b and ND, and i always jokingly say that they're too nice for cs, because it just brings out the retard in everyone [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]

Ppl generally realise you cant go around acting a total c**k to everyone all the time, cos sooner or later your gonna meet them and get knocked out liek riggs or someone.

	Grom^ 12:19 12/2/2003	I'm sure the prof would use these comments as more evidence :) Very interesting. I actually did something similar to this at university, although it was about use of language during Quake2 rather than sociological stuff. If anyone is interested the full article (I think) is at http://www.gamestudies.org/0202/wright/ snippet: <u>Game Conflict Talk</u> Camping talk (camping usually refers to staying in one spot "too long" during the game) Cheating accusations/disputes (with responses). AWP Talk (or AWP disclaimer) – the AWP is a one-shot kill sniper rifle - so third most common subject of that kind of chat is ppl moaning about the AWP. And everyone else is just saying someone cheats. Pretty accurate I'd say. [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	Weebull 12:20 12/2/2003	It's nice to see them actually notice top(ish)-level clan players iin CS for once though. Usually any report about CS dwells on public playing tossers, who really do give the game a bad name. [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]

	Weebull 12:42 12/2/2003	Of course, the playing of the game also produces changes in one's own subjectivity making it a pleasurable experience if one is accomplished (Myers 1992). :o [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]

	snarc 15:48 12/2/2003	You've got to remember that these studies were carried out in the US where culture and friendships generally differ from the UK. To generalise, people tend to be less aggressive in the US and if they have something bad to say they will keep it to themselves (of course there are people like this in the UK but they tend to be few and far between, especially on the net). So maybe, this article applies to US couterstrike and not UK? (Take w1cked for example does he fit this articles description?

	snarc 15:48 12/2/2003	You've got to remember that these studies were carried out in the US where culture and friendships generally differ from the UK. To generalise, people tend to be less aggressive in the US and if they have something bad to say they will keep it to themselves (of course there are people like this in the UK but they tend to be few and far between, especially on the net). So maybe, this article applies to US couterstrike and not UK? (Take w1cked for example does he fit this articles description? Do you feel like you have grown in anyway after playing a game with the great dave? Case Closed :>) [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]

	Weebull 19:13 12/2/2003	But you don't spend 8 hours playing CS as a job, so it's taking up leisure time. (Admittedly most of them are in school, but the same thing applies). [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	shads theb0g 19:16 12/2/2003	lol no, i read ur post as in to say "its not that bad because its practically the same as an office job which loads of people do just fine", so my reply meant that they actually say that office jobs can be quite bad for ur health to coincide with iron's statement about playing on ur pc for 8 hours a day i prolly worded it all wrong but i cba reading it again [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]

	Mintman 20:53 12/2/2003	Snarc said: To generalise, people tend to be less aggressive in the US and if they have something bad to say they will keep it to themselves No they just bottle it up until their daddy gives them a gun and they go round shooting people. Then they blame games like CS for it. [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
