I was a nintendo to super nintendo to genesis to sega cd to n64 kind of gamer, but once the original EverQuest came out I kind of jumped on board. I can't really even play single player games anymore, because of the value-added enjoyment of virtual boasting and playing with or against other players. I get so bored of single player games if I can't show people all my cool stuff. Borderlands is a great example of a game I couldn't imagine playing without showing people my new awesome acid rifle while we did some online questing. I'd wager most people online are OK to deal with.. even the 12 year olds I can handle as long as it's a cooperative game like Borderlands. I say just jump into it and play with random people.. actual friendships will develop relatively quickly.
