This is a list of the top 5 most annoying, confusing, racist, mean, and just crazy personalities that you will find while playing any Xbox 360 game on the Xbox LIVE multiplayer service.

For anyone who grew up in an era when 8-bit games rules the industry and the closest thing to multiplayer was the person sitting next to you on the couch in the living room – online gaming still has a few bumps in the road to overcome. Technically speaking, playing a game online has never been easier for the average gamer. Services like Steam, Xbox Live and the PlayStation Network make it so that just about any game can be played online at anytime with an exceptionally ridiculous level of convenience. But the fact that this ability is within the hands of the average person is where the most danger lies. More often than not, gamers will be exposed to a plethora of personality types, regardless of what game they choose to play online. Therefore, statistically, several will eventually stand out more than others and achieve a level of knowledge amongst the gaming population – be it for the good or bad. Below is listed the top 5 disturbing personas found on Xbox LIVE, no matter which game you are playing or what time of the night it is; there is always at least one of each of these type players in every game.

    Socially, online play is one of the banes of gaming. Back in the days before the internet, if you wanted to play multiplayer with someone, you'd have to interact with real people, whether it was at an arcade or playing at a friend's house. That was much better at building social skills than the anonymity of the internet.

      A bit far to call it one of the banes of gaming though. Gaming isn't meant to be something done to build up such skills, quite the opposite in fact, so if someone's a recluse and constantly plays online games the chances are if they were to be born before our time they'd have just stuck to single player or took up another non-social thing.

      Why dont you just play online and make friends on real life then. Not hard lol.

      There are other ways to make friends other than playing games with them.
