Valve: British gamers are "notorious non-talkers"
http://www.computerandvideogames.com...VG-General-RSS
I happened to see this on Kotaku. What do our British gamers think of this? I've never seen any of them be shy.

You know you're aren't allowed to say that now, Nard. He'll just take it out on innocent players. 
I don't know what Valve is talking about, every British player I play with is a talking machine.

Re: Valve: British gamers are "notorious non-talkers"
My monocle popped out in surprise and fell into my tea when I read that article. I've never noticed British players talking less, especially at TG. I play TF2 on UK-based servers and there's always plenty of communication there. Maybe the British side of the Xbox360 community is quieter than the PC gamers...

Re: Valve: British gamers are "notorious non-talkers"
 Nice find Beat. Certainly not true for me though XD
Perhaps it's just Americans talk too much? I think it might be mainly the Xbox - too many people randomly yelling at getting killed and such (CoD springs to mind).
Lol! Read the comments beneath the article too, they seem to think the same XD
"Why talk when Americans do it enough for the international community as a whole?"
