Video Games/Headscratchers: Difference between revisions

* I don't like the fact that the majority of [[First-Person Shooter|FPS]] players in online multiplayer [[Poor Communication Kills|don't use their headsets]]. This makes it pretty awkward for when you try to use teamwork, either in games where [[Call of Duty|it's largely irrelevant]] or even ones where [[Battlefield 3|it is actively encouraged]]. What the hell!? Are people just too lazy to fix or replace their mics, or are they so anti-social that they don't even want to interact with any other players? Don't you just hate it when the users of a product prevent you from using it as intended?

** When you speak with a headset and are told "shut up" because they find your voice is annoying, that generally tends to kill any desire to want to speak.

** A lot of people find headsets incredibly uncomfortable, to the point of being a constant distraction.

** In some games, like ''[[World of Warcraft]]'', there are guilds and playgroups that require headsets for all members. If your game doesn't allow players to set rules like that, lobby for it to be added in the next release.

 

* Why is it call "Video Games?", Video Games have nothing to do with the Video itself, so why are they called Video Games?

** It has everything to do with the video itself. That's like saying books have nothing to do with paper.

** The first link I got when I Googled for "video definition" produced "of or pertaining to the production of text or graphics on a video display." It's a valid use of the term.

 

* Can we use this Page for Video Games that don't have [[Just Bugs Me]] Page Yet?

** Most likely because doing the things that you can in Grand Theft Auto in real life would get you put away for a long time, and simulating perfectly ordinary, lawful activities isn't nearly as entertaining.
