gaming in person VS online gaming

I think I prefer local multiplayer, but I moved away from all my friends two years back and haven't made any where I am now, so I have to make do.

The one thing I hate about the online is that people automatically assume they can verbally assault you online, because you won't meet them in real life. We have this one kid at my school, she's real shy and quiet, but she is a bi### online. One day, she cussed out my ex-girlfriend, and my ex went and beat her. They got in trouble and all, but it goes to show how not being face to face changes things.


One other thing I have yet to understand is why every game needs to support 4 player coop, yada yada yada. I still to this day create files with my friends and swap back and forth on single player, because my friends only have one controller. And it is fun as hell!!!

I find I'm actually more placid online than locally. I think it's because I'm resigned to the fact that I'm dealing with people who've been playing online since the dawn of life itself,
thus I never had a chance in the first place. Whereas in person, I'm a bit of prick.....
