Losing in a game online and pulling your ethernet cord out

[We Ready]

Why pull the cord? Why not just pause the game and quit?

I don't get mad at nikkas I don't know...

If you can't take a loss online, it shows a lot about your character offline. Same goes for hackers, cheesers and campers. I've been saying this for a long time and its true as ever

Especially this, I can't respect a person who camps it shows they don't have the heart to go out and get theirs in a game and in life.

Anyone else remember the old days of Dreamcast online? For the non-PC dudes, this was revolutionary, life-altering shyt.

I used to do NASTY things to people in NBA 2K. Me and my brother would pretend to pick the Atlanta Hawks or something, and after the other player made their selection, we would hurry up and switch to 90's East All-Stars on some super squad type shyt....

Disconnects? Check.

Pressing pause, and just leaving that shyt there until the other person quit? Check.

Nowadays? I can't even be bothered to care. I don't even play many sports games anymore though (I'm through paying for yearly installments). No point quitting in shooters really because even when down that next kill always feels like vindication.

I can understand the desire to pull that cord but I've never done it. I remember there was one dude that was pushing the line hard on that Madden cheddar back in '04 that used to get all up in my guts .

By the Third Quarter of every game I'd be staring hard at that ethernet cable like if this mofo gets ONE MORE FIRST DOWN i'm ripping out the cord.

Eventually I figured him out and started giving him that work though.
