Yesterday I was playing CoD and a guy had his microphone on while his girlfriend was breaking up with him and he didn’t even stop playing.
I had a friend that would play stuff like that over his mic. Load up a juicy YouTube video with lots of drama and let everyone in the lobby think it was real. Especially if he went AFK.
I’ll take some solace in the fact it may have been fake. It would be pretty depressing to not even stop gaming when your gf is upset like that
Meh, you don’t know the whole story.
Maybe it was for the best and why stop gaming if you can’t or don’t want to change the outcome?
Depressing for whom?
For the species.
Might help the species if that dude doesn’t reproduce.
Only if true, as we were discussing.
It was pretty funny tbh. He wouldn't do it all the time, just when a lobby was kinda dead. We were young immature teenagers during the beginnings of prank culture.
It's a harmless practical joke to do while gaming. I can imagine some people's reactions are funny.
Not to mention they'll play worse if they're distracted.
Might not work so great on team chat...
He would do it during halo free for all for this exact reason lol
I couldn't imagine lacking this much of a sense of humor.
Poor imagination on you
I can't imagine overthinking things this much.
Yes u can, don't lie
Reminds me of the guy who reviewed booze on YouTube. In one video his ex-wife was packing their sht and leaving the house mid review.

That's what I thought of too. I heard he kept making videos, and eventually she's back, so I guess she changed her mind and they stayed married.
Edit: I just watched it and this is actually a different one. The one I saw was with a younger couple and he doesn't say anything about her leaving. He just does his review and she's in the background throwing shit around, and moving boxes.
That reminded me of the Unemployed Wine Guy, a somelier who started doing kind of parody reviews during the pandemic. The story advanced through each video. It was pretty fun!

Yikes... That is some hardcore cringe
