Did you get the Veyron, lofthouse?

I'm going right off GTA Online, or just online gaming in general.
I made the mistake of buying myself a headset, thinking it might enhance the game to be able to talk and coordinate missions and such with other players.
Nope.
What it instead revealed was that the vast majority of players -- at least the ones who also have headsets -- are utter bellends.
On co-op missions, I suddenly discover my fellow players are actually competing with me or trying to sabotage my role in some way.
When I got invited to an "Xbox Party" for the first time -- basically an audio chat room -- the rednecks on the other end of the line started off by thoroughly abusing my accent and noobness, and within about five minutes had asked me if we have "coal-black niggers" in the UK.
In the course of figuring out how to disconnect myself from these pricks, I discovered Xbox Live has an internal email system that I'd never come across before. I already had one email, from a username I don't recall ever seeing before.
All it said was: "Your f**kin shit".
Amazing.
This post has the ugly poignancy of a piss tear from a tramp's japs eye. It's what I come to the BCG for. Good file Murphy.
