  Meet the Xbox Live Stereotypes! (2009 Edition)

  Two years ago, I did a blog about all of the annoying stereotypes you see on Xbox Live. And with it being two years later, I figured it would be a good idea to make a brand new 2009 edition, so here you go! (Check out the old, 2007 edition here).

  Note - Please don't take this too seriously if you fall into one of these stereotypes. This is meant to entertain you, not piss you off. Think of this as a "mocumentary."

  Stereotype # 1 - The Average Joe

  This is the most common male gamer you encounter on Xbox Live. They can be from any race, religion, country, galaxy, and their age averages around 24. You'll find them in just about every game out there and they're probably the least annoying person out there. Most of them tend to swear a bit, but not as much as the pottymouth.

  Stereotype # 2 - The Pottymouth

  While it might depend on what game genres you play, the pottymouth is the second most common Xbox Live stereotype. They're generally cl@$$fied as being the same species as the average joe but with one major difference. The ability to swear for hours upon end without getting tired or their mouth stinging in pain. They try to use anything as an excuse to rain down their colorful vocabulary on the poor innocent 10 year olds who are trying to play a fun game of Need for Speed. Their favorite words include ____, ____, _____, ___, and most of all - ______________________________________!!! These are the people you don't hang out with in real life.

  Stereotype # 3 - The Creep

  I personally find creeps to be the most annoying people on Xbox Live. Between their weird voices, the weird sounds they make, and the weird comments they say, they just make me hit the mute button. Creeps generally suck at games and mainly play Xbox Live to show other people how weird they are. Their voices sound like a cross between someone with congestion and Alvin and the Chipmunks. Some creeps also swear a lot which forms the stereotype hybrid - Creepermouths.

  Stereotype # 4 - The Kid

  The kid is basically a younger version of the average joe. They play video games for entertainment and play just about every game genre in existence and can be any race , religion, ect. The main thing that sets kids aside from average joes is their voice. Naturally, their voice is higher pitched than the average joe. Just keep in mind that the kid can sound like anything from a mouse to a mole rat. Some poorly-raised kids have nasty swearing habits which forms the stereotype hybrid - the Pottykid.

  Stereotype # 5 - The DJ

  Three years ago, the DJ was a thriving Xbox Live stereotype. Playing various forms of music through his microphone to please (or most likely, annoy) his fellow gamers. They usually asked their teammates what kind of music they wanted to listen to which was usually answered with "shut up!" But in 2009, the DJ is an endangered species. You rarely hear DJs playing Lil Wayne or Lady Gaga through their mics which to most people is a good thing. You mostly find them playing older games that were released no more than a year after the Xbox 360 launch. But will the DJs ever be able to come back from near-extinction. Only the Xbox Live community will control that. (And most of us already know the answer.)

  And now some news about me! I played quite a bit of Resident Evil 5 today and I've been making great progress! I'm a bit surprised at how easy the game is. It's challenging enough to keep you awake, but easy enough to where your couch won't be wet with sweat (or anything else). I also got to level 39 in Call of Duty: World at War! Have fun everyone and I hoped you enjoyed the latest edition of Meet the Xbox Live Stereotypes!

  Has anyone heard of the band Senses Fail?

  I just learned that the band's lead guitarist Garrett Zablocki is the cousin of a person who goes to my school which is pretty cool. I know that their song Can't Be Saved is a bonus song in Guitar Hero III so it's cool to know that I'm playing the same part he is! Just thought you guys would like to know.

  Moving on, I got to level 34 in World at War and I'm dying to unlock the awesome STG-44 which seems to be one of the best guns in the game! My favorite map is Dome because its small size makes machine gun kills super easy! My least favorite map is Downfall because it's too big and people rely on tanks to win. In fact, I've never bothered using tanks because they're too slow and make me feel like a sitting duck. World at War has yet to get boring though so I'm going to keep playing for a long time to come.

  It's getting pretty late (1:55 am), so I'm going to bed now. And thanks for all the birthday comments! Goodnight!

  Birthday!

  So unless you've been living under a rock for the last 17 years, you should know that today's my birthday. Okay just kidding. Most of you probably didn't know that I turn 17 today! You know what that means, I can legally purchase M-rated games and see R-rated movies by myself! I don't have any form of ID though. So as you know, Michael Jackson died yesterday. I know most people under 21 think of him as a child molester, but if you look beyond his problems, he's an amazing person. Not many people are musical geniuses, but he is! I don't know a lot of his songs beyond the hits but he's still a pretty cool singer. In gaming news, I downloaded the map pack 1 for World at War. The zombie map Verruckt is INSANE. (Which is actually what Verruckt means in German). The zombies are much harder to kill and they swarm you like bees. The map was clearly designed for co-op and not single player. I also played on two of the three multiplayer maps Knee Deep and Nightfire. Both of these maps are great fun, but I wish I could have seen the other map. I've gotten to level 31 and I'm dying to unlock the STG-44 which is one of the best weapons in the game (in my opinion). I also find it funny how one of the maps is called Nightfire which reminds me of James Bond 007: Nightfire which was a great game back in its day. Hope you guys have fun!
