(happens to us all. see week or two after Fallout 3/Skyrim's release) These shameful moments are somehow eclipsed in multiplayer titles however by annoying yanks/other nationalities(sometimes) crying over the mic expressing pure aggression, releasing their pent-up, repressed anger in an environment where they are safe from physical confrontation. No matter how many games I have played, no matter how much of the weekend I have wasted, hearing these yelps through my tv speakers brings me a certain ease as I can take solice in knowing that there are bigger losers out there. Therefore, I am PRO Multiplayer games!
