Playing games with people you know against people you don't know
Earlier this evening, I spent an hour or so racing cars and occasionally running into other people on Grand Theft Auto IV. Their multiplayer system's pretty robust and nuanced, allowing for all sorts of team or all-against-all playing. Going up against people you know lets you banter about and talk some good-natured smack. Taking on people you DON'T know makes it a challenge to completely whack the other foo'. I expect this says something about armed conflict in general.
