I normally read the posts on/. but don't post but I had to share this story.
I was playing Counterstrike on a public server one evening when another player on the server informed us that he was being annoyed by one of those pesky telemarketers.
About five minutes later he's telling us that this is really starting to piss him off and that it was affecting his gameplay.
As some of you may be aware, a new feature of the latest version of CS (1.3) is the ability to use voice communication in the game using just a normal PC microphone and soundcard.
What happens next is pretty obvious... the player held the phone close to his speakers and moved
the microphone to the 'talky end' of the phone and then held down the 'Talk' button in the game.
In the middle of our game, our team hears a few words of a rather boring sales pitch before all hell breaks loose.
Over the sound of exploding grenades, AK's on full auto and 15 year old boys asking whether she had nice b(.)(.)bies, I could just hear the sound of this woman hang up.
