Ten Things We Hate About Voice Chat

April 14, 2010 by Gameranx Staff

Top 10 things we hate about Voice Chat during online gaming

Talking on Voice Chat for the first time on online play is like throwing yourself over a cliff with a cup of piss being the only safe landing, and a pit of shit at every other landing point.

10. Voice Changers
This might be fun to try amongst your friends but nobody cares what your voice sounds like as long as you speak in a recognized language so don’t bother buying stupid devices that help you change your voice because if you sound funny you’ll be the first one to be muted.

9. Mouth Breathers
A healthy individual normally breathes through the nose while resting or doing light exercise but if playing an intense multiplayer first person shooter makes you exhale like you’ve just finished running a marathon, I suggest you see a doctor or refer to this article or stop using Voice Chat.

8. We’re going on air, please turn down your radio
Just like when you call a Radio Station, you’ve got to turn down the radio likewise when you’re in a lobby full of players it’s always better to turn down the volume of your tele or home theater or whatever.

7. Other Conversations/Playing your Favorite Music
I don’t like to share my personal conversations on the phone or force my favorite techno rave music on others during online matches, would it hurt these guys to turn off the mic to avoid causing a disturbance to others.

6. Potty Mouths
A word like “fuck” here and there doesn’t make my brain curl up but anonymity on the Internet says that you can be a d*ck without any consequences which leads to annoying high pitched voices shouting m@therf*cker, g@y & racial slurs in every single sentence except when their mother comes to check on them. You are left with only one option i.e mute the little c*nts.

5. The 11 year old leader
The arrogant kid who either plays online all day long or has a bionic fingers instead of real ones. This 11 year old kid is just too good and will make you follow his lead constantly shouting out orders in his high pitched voice and if you don’t follow his lead he will throw a fit.

5. Eating & Playing
A typical human eats over a thousand pounds of food every year and there is plenty of time to eat if you’re not living online in game lobbies and chat rooms. Turn off your mic or quit playing before you finish your meal.

4. Headset FAIL or Bad Connection
A new headset or a better connection could save these guys from getting heckled or ignored during online matches and have a more stable/respectable online existence.

3. BFFs
You’re looking for a match on Xbox Live and suddenly you find yourself in a group of anonymous people who happen to be BFFs(Best friends) then there is a good chance that one of them sucks at the game and there is an even better chance that he will blame you for every single blasphemy he will commit during the whole f*ckin match.

2. Girls or Prepubescent Boys?!? Confusion
They sound the same but act very differently. If they’re being obnoxious, homophobic and yelling out curse words. You can be pretty confident it’s an 11 year old kid.

1. Sore Losers
You just won the game and then suddenly,

potty mouth

WTF!?!? It doesn’t stop there because you’ll be getting voice messages filled up with their online hate material.
