The French Attacked Me
For the past two days I've been playing this game called Diablo II Expansion: Lord of Destruction.
I haven't played it in awhile so I went online to battle some monsters. It works like this: You make a character, join a game with other people, "party up" with them, and then do some quests together. Everyone knows the rules of the game and it's easy to catch on. But in the past two days I joined three different games with all different people and something strange happened. I got attacked each time by French people. The first two times this happened, I partied up and gave my usual greeting of "Hi all!" Then noticed that everyone was speaking French right before they killed me (my character).
So I thought maybe French people just play by different rules and decided to stay out of those games. But, a third time I joined one accidentally. I saw that people were speaking French and decided to leave, but before I could they killed me again. BUT, this time someone said, "Die American!" first.
See, now this is what happens when idiots like Bill O'Reilly and Ann Coulter talk shit about the French. Now, I can't go into games and kill things and find treasure because some 14-year old French kid with a Level 95 Necromancer hates my American Level 58 Sorceress. If they did this to me, they're doing it to other Americans and I think soon the entire gaming world is going to erupt into a big nerd's version of World War III.
Can't we all just get along?
