35 of the Funniest Things Gamers Heard Over an Open Mic
A good headset may separate the casuals from the hardcore gamers, but it won’t drown out whatever’s happening outside of the game.
One Redditor hopped onto Call of Duty with his friends, mentally prepared to be called various slurs by the 12-year-olds they might get matched up with. But between the in-game gunfire, they got so much more than they could’ve bargained for. One of their teammates was on the receiving end of a “really vicious” rant, and in turn, so was the rest of the lobby. This woman was going on a true rampage. It had everything: complaints about her wretched mother-in-law, confessions of adultery, even a flagrant comment about the size of his “equipment.” But the whole time the guy was getting chewed out, he was forging full speed ahead and trying to capture the control point with the squad.
Now that’s dedication.
Other Redditors have shared the wildest things they’ve heard on the mid-match hot mic, including the soothing sounds of 19th-century Russian literature and a question about raw flesh that never got answered.
