I probably played Red Dead Redemption online for about 10 hours. About 9 hours and 59 minutes was spent in a horse graveyard.

I have never had a pleasant experience in an xbox 360 or PC online game, so I never play online.

I'm not sure what it is about playing online that makes you treat other players like shit.

Griefing random people for the purpose of being an asshole is a bad thing. Screwing around with friends is fine.

Don't give them any reactions. That's what they're after.

L4D2 is the only game I grief in and I don't feel bad about it. The community for that game is garbage.

Way too many memorable moments to list in WoW, way too much time wasted, however favorites include summoning people off cliffs/random locations where they die and can't retrieve their body. Attacking players who were queued for arena (back when you could only do it at certain locations) so they were in combat and couldn't join their match. Dueling people in non pvp areas and yielding when it started to flag them for pvp. Killing every single npc in most towns I went to.

Not really related but funniest WoW moment was my arena partner telling me he was banned from the PC for a week after punching a whole in the wall after a disconnect.

I usually just leave without saying anything, and often don't play the game again.

edit: it's mostly because I realise that the public areas/servers of those games are riddled with that type of player, so it's not worth playing unless I'm prepared to have my time wasted.

I got griefed, but it was more of a 'challenge accepted' thing than a 'rage' thing.

The audio's crackly, so maybe turn it down a bit.

Probably not the same thing but the closest I've come is back during the arcade days..

I was playing FINAL FIGHT with my friend and there was this kid who kept bugging us, begging us to give him a quarter so he could play. It went on for about 10 minutes. Eventually his mom caves in and gives him a quarter. At this point, my friend ran out of quarters and went to get more and the kid jumps in without asking. Immediately I start pummeling his character until he dies. He's in shock, so I say something like "Sorry, just kidding" and give him a quarter to rejoin whereupon I do it again. By that time my friend gets back and he joins back in.

Was your nick on Steam ever Osama Bin Laden by any chance? That's the worst fucking random player I've ever had whenever my regular group lacks a full versus team. What an asshole.

I suggest anyone who hasn't seem them yet to google Second Life Sonic griefing.

Also my university has these courses / field days on Second Life every now and then, someday I will grief the shit out of those just because THAT'S AN AWFUL IDEA AND THEY SHOULD FEEL BAD.

Ah yes, some of the most wonderful moments were flying choppers full of people co-opping in Operation Flashpoint or Arma, bailing out as a pilot, and watch them crash and burn. It's funny because when suddenly the chopper begins to swerve down, people mostly realize too late the chopper's crashing, so they either explode with it, or jump out too late and crash into the ground.

Although I didn't do this on public servers, only with friends.
