When $1B in Online-Game Sales Isn't
jvm writes "On Curmudgeon Gamer a new analysis article by Kyle Orland examines the recent announcement by the NPD Group that sales of "online-enabled console games" reached $1 billion dollars last year. A rudimentary analysis of the numbers behind the numbers shows that at least a third of those online-enabled games probably aren't being (and probably can't be) played online."
I always piss people off online and they declare that I am 13 years old all of the time. I don't know why people would assume that.
More than likely, it was a 30 year old asshole that was giving you grief and you couldn't hack it so you declared him 13 so that you would not have to initiate any act of revenge or recourse.
That and it sounds better in a story to write someone off as a child because you would sound gay if you said, "Yeah I was online and this 35 year old man named Gary just kept berating me. Christ, he really got under my skin and I just had to turn off my computer cause I was in such a tizzy. What? Yeah, baby of course having sex with you is second place to Warcraft, I'm a homo."
