Pleasantly surprised! : Othor Games

Okay, so I was playing Halo Reach on the XBOX, and it was a big team battle game. After around five minutes (with me on the top of the scoreboard) I notice the person on the bottom of the scoreboard messing around on the other end of the map. I had a rocket launcher when I reached him, and he looked at me. Then he started shooting me and betrayed me for my rockets. I chased him down and betrayed him back, and he booted me. (giving this option to the players was such a stupid decision)

I messaged him saying "Come on, dude. Why do you have to be like that?"

I then get invited to a party by him, and I'm thinking "Oh, here we go..." I put my mic in and enter the party, and am greated with four 11-14 year olds, judging by their voices and 1337 gamertags. The person who betrayed me pipes up "Hey, War Machine. Yeah, I'm sorry dude, I was screwing around. Do you want to play Firefight with us?"

And I was... kinda dumbstruck. I've never had a person be polite to me after such an encounter, but here he was! And he was a little kid, too. You know, the one's that plague XBOX with awful profanity and newly-discovered racist slurs? They weren't like that. They were sincere and apolagetic, and nice. That was a really nice surprise! And I knew they weren't going to screw with me because as you may know, you can't betray and grief in Firefight on Reach.

Anyway, that game would have been my last because I was going to make something to eat, so I poilitely declined, to which they said "Okay, see ya. Sorry again!"

I'm impressed.

I thought I was free from little children because I'm a PC gamer.Then I installed League of Legends.

Interesting story---I had something simular happen to me once in Halo 2 many moons ago but I ended up kicking the kid out of the match and never saw him again...I don't have a very high BS tollerance

Good to know that not all fps-gamerkids are screwed.I've had my doubts about the future of mankind after half a year in the bf3-universe.

But what's the deal with the number 1337? I see it used everywhere.

Apparently typing it out on a calculator and turning it upside down spells out 'LEET', I feel dumber now for learning that.
