After our first full week of classes, I already knew that DMS 448 was going to be an interesting and fun class to be a part of. Being a gamer and a fan of games for the entirety of my life, I knew that taking this class was going to expand my horizons on the topic of video games and what they bring about. To start, I was more than intrigued with the trolling article that was assigned this past week due to my past experiences with trolling. As discussed in class, I have been previously involved in the act of trolling in online video games. I was pretty skittish to even mention that in class due to the fact that there are varying levels that come with trolling and one can assumed the past actions of one player; from very mild cases of trolling, to borderline harassment. In my case, and like most of my classmates, we were involved in very minor cases of video game trolling. For me, trolling consisted of loading up Call of Duty when I was middle school, and pissing people off of in online lobbies by the way I played; trapping people in corners, flash-banging and shooting my own teammates, revealing positions, and much more. I was that annoying sixth grader that would always manage to strike the nerves of other players through my game play. Most of my actions were derived from watching gaming Youtube videos of other trolls in Call of Duty such as KYRSPEEDY and others. I also started trolling after becoming bored with the game at hand, finding a new ways to entertain myself. However, after reading through Cook’s Under the Bridge essay, I became concerned with how some trolls came about after reading: “they found that trolling behavior correlated positively with three out of the four components of the Dark Tetrad: sadism, psychopathy, and Machiavellianism” (Cook,  3325). I started to think about why i started to troll and became very curious over this statement I found in Cook’s paper. Firstly, was I Sadistic for my behaviors in games? Looking back, for true gamers, I feel they seem as if i was trying to ruin video games for everyone in the lobby, which is both true and not; being kinda Sadistic in a way. However, i was just trying to have fun on a video game that was losing my interest. On the other hand, there are some trolls out there that are truly psychos, and have Sadistic tendencies. Zoe Quinn’s ex boyfriend I believe, can fall into that category of trolls. Don’t get me wrong cheating is a malicious act, but when the guy your dating is an abusive douche, it doesn’t seem as bad. But then to go on and write a 10,000 word manifesto to ruin your ex seems a little satanic to me. That is why i believe there are varying levels to the act of trolling. From the harmless corner trap to a degrading manifesto, trolling consists of many forms, all tending to piss off other players to a degree that is all dependent on the personality of the troll at hand.
