Okay so for my second go round at this game I try my hand with a different team and once again the same trashtalking arises but this time most of it is coming from me, because now I am winning. It's interesting how the roles are reversed this time as I am playing my friend again, clearly neither one of us is really that much better than the other but when your in the lead in this game the person you are beaten really really sucks. So now that I won I feel like I can come to the conclusion that even though at times this competiteveness that comes out in all of us is not very good, it feels damn good when we win and we wouldn't want it any other way.

Okay so today I was playing NBA 2K7 and I started thinking about something as I was getting my ass handed to me. Why is it that in video games just as in real life when your playing a sport or any sort of multiplayer game people's demeanors change completely. For example with my friends and I, we play NBA 2K7 and Madden and when we play there's nothing but trashtalking coming from both sides, even the losing side. It's amazing to witness, but I have noticed this with almost everyone I know that plays video games or sports recreationally. Is it that nobody can stand losing or that we just want to show our friends that we are better than them at something, even if it is at something as dumb as a fake basketball game. We have to win and we have to win by a lot. Could it be our animalistic instincts coming out in us that one of us has to be the alpha male or female? And as we are winning do we have to rub it in our oppositions face? Well it could be the fact that I lost by 23 points, but I find that this competitiveness that comes out in us during games maybe not alarming but definitely something we should look at and see if it's really healthy to have. Especially if the competitiveness we experience in games starts to follow us into our daily lives when we are not playing. But this tangent is probably me just venting out my frustrations because I'm pissed I lost by 23 points.
