I much prefer multiplayer with real people over people I don't know online. The next best thing to me is playing with people online that I DO know, but otherwise, I don't really feel like listening to some kid who can't even drive yell racist things at me claiming he knows my mother better than my father does.

Anyway, I still haven't experienced any real life multiplayer action as fun as the N64 brought to the table back in the day. Good times, man.
