MMOG Does Real life come FIRST?

Masive Mulitplayer Online Games?

I just wondering over the last couple weeks about this subject and is it really diffenet than a normal game?

Firstly, I consider any game played on the computer "JUST a GAME" it does not realy interfer with my rest of my daily activitys or life. But over the last couple of days i have been acting like a tottal idiot in MMOG and as a result people telling me to act my age and blah blah blah.

I just have not get my head around this right now. If i want to act like a tottaly idot or studmuffinot in a virutal world how does this effect my own reality of things. Also i have been in a squad and then the squad gets blamed for my stupidity? How on earth does one group get blamed for the stuff ups form one person. I thought we all take responsibility for our own action and such we accept what we get back. But for the whole squad to be shouted out just because of one person, were does this make sense?

I have been called " You must be a real banana in real life", Well people act diffenetly in a virtual world than one they are faced with reality with. I just think people need to lighten up a bit with games and just take them as entertainment, not letting all the BS go to there heads.

What do you think?

i try to avoid acting like a moron at all times, even when i can use the anonimity of the internet to hide the real me.

but there's always that 5% per-cent that make up the shallow end of the gene pool, that use the ability to hide behind a keyboard to diddly up the experience of the rest of us.

you know they wouldn't pull their dweeby toejam in a public place where someone could smack them upside their head...
all you fascists, you're bound to lose...

The internet brings out the true person.  It lets people do, and get away with things which would get them a good ass-kicking in the real world.  You can tell a lot about a person by the way they behave on the internet.  If you are an amazinhunk online, odds are you're an amazinhunk in the "real world", or perhaps it's because you,  for some reason can't be an amazinhunk in the "real world".

It's amazing what a little anonymity can do.   Just because it's a game, and because nobody can kick your ass, doesnt mean that being an amazinhunk is okay.

Disclaimer: I have no clue who you are, this is all generalized.  This in no way is an accusation of anyone in particular being an amazinhunk.  Do not shake.  Do not incinerate. Keep out of reach of children.  

oh yea,
It's NEVER[b/] just a game.
