Too PC or just too much Xbox?

Last night I was accused of not being able to take Trash Talking by an American lad who joined our Paradise race room.

I don't think that I can't take it... I just prefer trash talkers to have a bit of imagination!

There are 3 words that are taboo for me, and they are words that I have come accross more frequently recently when playing online and in forums. I do file complaints when gamers are offensive, so maybe I am too PC? 

I have noticed a bit of a problem in Paradise - it is really hard to tell who is talking. I would like to see a symbol next to names on the results screen of races, sometimes in Freeburn too the symbol doesn't show up when folks are talking. Mind you this is less of a problem then nobody talking at all! Why can't people be more friendly??

Maybe tho I have just been playing too much Xbox... last night when I was dreaming I had visions of the Paradise City map, but instead of check points or events at the intersections I saw Poker Smash cards!!

Definitely too much Xbox!!

nope deari, your right tho think its more to do wi the age of textin n msn, surely threse people wouldnt talk to strangers in that way face to face but tis so much easier bein faceless. thought there used to be moderators who actually took note o the muppets, at least in the pc community of old it wasnt tolerated tho always found the caps rule a bit too extreme.

cheers evil

ps least ur no dreamin o 5 coloured buttons on your arm with the doyts advancin towards u

I think it's the agressive "trash talk" and generally unfreindly-ness of the online world that keeps me away from going into online multiplyers.

I don't care if people trash talk. Every trash talker I've raced so far has been complete crap at the game, so I just get back at them by timing them out.
