Don’t know where gamers get their reputation for poor sportsmanship? This guy certainly deserves a share of the blame—and should be handing out free earplugs to his opponents.

Brian Nihill of Team High Society appears to be the hysterically competitive Call of Duty player whose throat-shredding tournament outburst was captured in a video clip by Zach Shelton, who goes by the YouTube handle RINGSHOUSE, but it seems safe to say he’s starved for validation. Why else would he stand up every few seconds to shriek over his screen at a team that’s already losing the virtual battle? Understand, this isn’t trash talk: it’s just formless noise.

Shelton has deleted the original video, this is a reupload.

Once the match is won, of course, he continues to chest-thump as convincingly as a pimpled console geek ever could. His boast that “You’ll never beat me! Ever!” might be meme-worthy if it displayed an ounce of imagination. From the smirking expressions of those observing the victory dance, however, it’s clear he lost face by giving vent to his guttural angst.
 
Hilariously pathetic. I know it is a competitive competition and all, but damn.
 
Oh boy, those young men have taken some wrong turns in life.

Man I wish one those guys on the other side of the table would have beat the s*** out of him. Things like this shouldnt bother me at all, but I freaking hate people like that kid.
 
He's a punk, starving for attention, attention whore gamer. Unfortunately, he got the 15 minutes he was looking for. Hopefully he's not really like that in real life. He'll learn as he gets older or gets punched one time.

Console gamers, lol.


All jokes aside, does this surprise anyone? There are no shortages of nerdy kids that are total social misfits that don't know how to act in social settings.
 
People sure get puffed up about some stupid things.

I'd be embarrassed to be good at CoD. I wouldn't be bragging about it. I'd be hiding the fact.
 

I know right! Lol way back in the day when I used to play in quake 1 and doom 2 competitive tournaments I've seen guys act much times worse than that. keyboards getting thrown across the room, mouses being thrown like a fastball, shattering when it they impact the wall. Guys standing up in there chairs wanting to go outside and fight you. . I have seen it all. Fun times. Some people take competitive gaming way too seriously. hell I wish there was a way I can upload all the love messages people send me on XboxLive to a thread here. especially when they're playing against me in battlefield. it's surreal. Lol

Video gamers are nothing, I've seen legit fights on a basketball court and football field. Hell, hockey has fights all the time to this day! Point being, competition can bring out the worst in people.

Truth, at least we don't see gamer riots (haahahahahaha.... aaahh...*wipes away tear*) after Street Fighter tourneys... at least not yet...

edit: would be awesome, btw.

Too bad I didn't record all the lobby trashtalk back in my CoD 4, WaW and MW 2 days.

Since I did pretty good with k/d over 3.00+ most games, you'd think gamers on the other team would be praising and complementing my skills of laser accuracy, superb anti-personnel device planting and my tank whoring.

But all I got was "You f'ing camper! F U!".

HAHA! No shyt. And it works in 90% of games. If they don't want to change their run and gun mindless chicken game style, why should I change?



I'd like to see any CoD Tournament Pro handle this kind of camping.

I want to hate him, but I mostly just feel pity.

It seems like it would be hard for a person like that to have any real life friends in high school and in all likelihood he gets bullied. If he still acts like that by the time he gets to college he certainly will have a hard time finding friends and definitely won't be getting laid. After college, he'll have a hard time finding a job and will end up a poor, sad, loser living in his parents basement.

And let's be honest, if he tried to talk that way to anyone outside of that little crowded tournament he was in, he would be knocked out right away.

I really wonder about the parents though? Does he act that way in the house? If it was my son, I would smash his Xbox/PS up and never let him touch it again until he gets out of the house and goes to gym, plays some sports, finds some friends, and learns to act like a normal human being.


Hahaha! He'd have a heart attack if he played against me. Check out 6:00 mark and onward (tail end of the game)

We get it, you think you are amazing at COD, maybe you are. But it's not very hard to camp in one spot behind cover and go on a kill streak against a random, disjointed team.

A few months ago, I played COD for the first time in years (Advanced Warfighter), and immediately, in my first spawn, in my first match, I found a good camping spot point and got something like 10-15 kills without dying. I'm not very good. Then I got kind of bored, realized I was playing the game for my enjoyment and not for a good K/D ratio, and went back to running around.
