Why do people claim to be such big fans and not know a thing about us?
The most common message I get is something along these lines:
I love you guys so much i'm your biggest fan, will u please add me? wats your gamertag? can I please Join you guys for a few games on xbox live?
And here's a real one I saw in my inbox:
Hey, so
i know you get probably tons and tons of these a day, but i like all your videos. And i know its easier to record on the computer, but my laptop sucks. And im actually kinda good at L4D2 and L4D (Also something you probably always get). I'm leaving this completely up to you, and you can message me back saying no, cuz i totally understand about people messaging you nonstop to just hang out with you. its annoying. But it would mean a lot to me if you replied. Even if the reply was saying no. Cuz i would understand.
Im also surprised i havent put this yet. You guys play on Xbox right?
why do so many think we play on the 360? I don't get it..
I suspect people think that you guys play on the 360 because both you and Jed have shown your Xbox Live messages, some people just jump to thinking that that means you play all your games on it. They apparently don't realize that you can't get custom maps on the 360 and don't notice the HUD layout change for the computer.
ReplyDeletewell when I saw one of your videos for the first time, I thought you WERE on xbox because I never knew that there was steam. But then I figured it out when the you or someone else recording at the time stood in front of a weapon and it didn't say "x" like it does on xbox. Also when you went into third person view which is impossible for xbox it really showed.
ReplyDeleteI don't necessarily understand why people think you play on XBox either. TBH, I could always tell because the Xbox buttons weren't listed under the inventory (guns, pills, aid, etc). I dunno, though. As Delcan said, though, I suppose it could be because of your XboxLive messages.
ReplyDeleteWell, look at the majority of people who message you guys: prepubescent 12 year olds who never had the benefit of Fun With Phonics as a child.
ReplyDeleteThen, of course, the majority of people who play Xbox: see above.
I don't think they can make the connection between you guys + a PC.
And before anybody gets their knickers in a twist over what I said about xbox, I play xbox as well, but I'm just saying that most of the people you come across fit that description.
It's safe to say any online social gaming system in populated [in some way] by immature kids, fucking braindead kids that shouldn't be online in the fist place.
ReplyDeleteYuck. These kids need to learn how to spell before they even get anywhere NEAR an xbox
ReplyDeleteNot every young kid is annoying on xbox or pc, I played a few games online with young kids and they weren't bad. A few others were annoying though and REALLY need to know how to spell
ReplyDeleteIf the sender is typing 'I' as 'i' and 'because' as 'cuz' should really not try to befriend anyone they see on youtube
ReplyDeleteI don't know about the spelling thing, because I will sometimes shorthand my typing. It makes things quicker when you only have to type half the letters.
ReplyDeleteIf small kids were filtered out of the gaming community, it would be a lot less populated
ReplyDeleteYou don't play on the 360!?
ReplyDeleteThe thing is about 'shorthand' typing is that in the real world, when you are serious on what you are talking about, you don't use any slang. Same goes with 'shorthand' typing. There are people who will judge you based on how you type. Why is this? Perhaps it's because you don't know anything about that person that is talking online. If you are shorthanding your typing or don't make any sense, people will brush you off... not worth their time. However, other 'shorthand' writers do get together and form a bond, so all is not lost.
ReplyDeleteI'm an XBox gamer and I agree - there's far too many idiots who have a negative IQ. It makes online gaming painful sometimes! Mostly though it's just people on YouTube being a bit backward really, lol.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad not many of the people who comment on the videos comment here - I can actually READ these comments and there's no 'NEEDS MOAR CON!?!?"1111' every two friggin' seconds. Yeesh.
You know..... i can't find you on XboX 36o live
ReplyDeleteTotally agree (with all of you).
