"April 19, 2006 - Online gaming with voice communication has revolutionized what was once a particularly solitary activity into an exceptionally social experience. Back in the '90s, taunting your opponents was limited to what you could bash out on a keyboard between respawns, and unless you learned to speak 1337, the majority of ongoing conversations looked like Windows error codes.
We've come a long way over the course of the interceding decade. Our online gaming culture has flourished, and we have come to expect, nay, rely upon such haughty couture machinations as the victory-tea-bag and real voice communication. While few could argue that an opportunity to squat one's virtual testicles in the face of a fallen opponent is not a pleasurable experience, most must agree that hours upon hours spent with a sweaty and uncomfortable telemarketer-style-headset one one's head is far less enticing...."
