For the topic; this is how it began; We were having a Guitar Hero contest, I was in 1st place, the birthday aspie in 2nd, and the idiot in 3rd, he got pissed for that, and began b*tching about wanting to shut down the WWW, and making his mom force the aspie to pay money, and he is probably some kind of hacker, then the birthday aspie got furious, and........ yes

Not trying to defend your ex-friend, but ohh~ I've gotten that way in the past too. I'd get really upset whenever my brother beat me in a competition, and my brother can't stand it when I beat him. So we never
ever ever compete against each other, even under "friendly" terms. For the most part I had always interpreted my brother's and my reactions towards competition against each other as a sign of how close we really were to each other. In a sense, competition is against the spirit of complete unconditional mutual support and symbiosis. I can take part in competitions, but only against people I don't really care about because in competitions I can get very aggressive. If I were in a competition with my brother, he'd either have to be on my team, or we'd tell each other that the winner has to do some kind of chore or nasty thing so that winning wouldn't be all that desirable. Alternatively we'd have to really spin it in such a way that he or I didn't win out of a desire for personal glory, but rather to defeat other opponents or some other thing.
I wonder if your friend really enjoys competing and winning against his own friends, or if he prefers more cooperative play. That would be a very good way to see how he really feels about you guys as good friends.
