Ever think it might be fun to play with some of the people who like to swear at you in pre-and post-game chat on Halo 2? This guy has modded his headset to allow input from his computer. It's amazing how much anger Mr. Rogers can inspire. Check it out here (http://www.soundspoof.com/)

Thanks to HBO (http://halo.bungie.org/) for the link

Wow, that is amazing... But the question is, why is this needed? Can't you do that easily yourself? How un-inspired must you be if you can't come up some of your own 12 year old insults... But I him give credit for a intresting idea.

how would you get away from the name calling just because you got a 360?

That is clever and cool. I wonder if Dr. Phil plays on Live. :confused:

That is so old. I was doing stuff like like on Alien Front Online on the Dreamcast by going to soundboards of movie star quotes when I just didn't feel like talking to the other players. Just hold the mic by the speaker, no modifications involved.

On a more recent note, me and my brother would annoy people by playing "Seasons of Love" from the Rent soundtrack while playing Halo 2. It's great hearing people get confused and pissed when "525,600 minutes" doesn't last 10 seconds, but a couple minutes. The only time it stops is when we would die. So we became popular targets. And with so many people after us, we would usually win, as they would just rush us with no strategy to shut the music up.

Okay, so you're one of those people that streams crappy music through the microphone. I guess that's funny, but in a stupid way.

Raging people can be fun tbh. Getting people angry over something like a videogame is fun, for whatever reason.

And it's not that new, myg0t (http://www.myg0t.com) comes to mind. Also, I wouldn't recommend joining their forums as they contain racism, nudity, gore, etc etc.

It's just a fucking videogame. It's not like you're remote detonating a bomb hidden somewhere in their house. Besides, Halo 2 players are capable enough to annoy themselves.

I only did it once though, on the Live for Speed pc demo.

It's a matter of purposely ruining other people's experience for the sheer enjoyment of being a jerk. If you were out say, playing baseball or fishing with friends and I came up with a very large boombox and a very large collection of french rap polka, would that not ruin the experience at least somewhat?

No, not in the slightest. In fact I would give you a great big kiss.

That's exactly what it is. It's fun too.
