78 deviants said Yeah, actually. I kinda lost it and became the were-douche.

It really depends on what the character is that I am playing, If I am a thief or rogue type character in an MMO then you can bet I'll be stealing kills (if applicable) or looting (also if applicable). If I'm playing a non role playing game, I usually assume that everyone else is that guy and run a solo mission with an occasional nudge in the right direction for the team. Definitely a behind the scenes Snake in a sea of Fenixs.

I typically don't play the douche, but there was one significant instance a bit over a year ago in the overplayed World of Warcraft universe (thankfully I quit that addication). But, if anyone knows a bit about the "old world" content in Silithus, they'll know about the legendary Spider mount that you could get, extremely rare, usually only 1 per server.

Well, even though I did spend a stupid amount of time to get the mount, I also had a bunch of people help me. The douche part comes in when I decided to leave the server and the guild who helped me about a week after I got it. I had my reasons of course, but looking back at it, it definitely was my crowning douche moment.

Awesome podcast guys, keep it up!

The guys who piss me off the most is when they mow down their own team.
Then you have 3 options:
1) Ignore him.
2) Kill him. Killing one guy to save many.
3) Leave.

Every other muppet you can just mute.
I do attempt revenge kills if some dude keeps targeting me. But that's just a healthy rivalary.

Man this may be surprising to most people, but I don't play video games, never really got into them growing up!

I present to those unaware of it: John Gabriel's Greater Internet Fuckwad Theory.

As in real life, I default to being the nice guy online. Case in point, just this lunchbreak I played a little WoW. Followed a path through recently cut up foes, just in time to see the dude who had conveniently paved my way get chopped down by my quest objective. I killed my target and then sat down and waited for the other player to resurrect because I felt bad that I'd taken his kill. I helped him, for which he thanked me and then we braided each other's hair and rode our friendship unicorns into the sunset (burning horribly).

That's just how I roll.

I make it a point to be that douchebag that'll close the door right in your face when being chased by a pack of zombies. Perhaps a well placed molotov after they pounce on you leaving you immobile toasting the zombies and you all in a beautiful display of colors and light as the screams of my fallen teammate further my laughter.

I <3 Left4Dead 2 with a passion.
