Proxygate

So i seemed to get some positive feedback from my last post so here comes another. Best intro ever. Amiright?

So i want to talk today about gaming, more specifically the idea that because it is a game it is okay never learn(read: Loose).

Yes I understand that it is A: a game and not real life, B: that the goal of playing a game is fun. Thank you for that groundbreaking insight jim. Although i will admit that i am slightly confused by your first point that gaming isnt real life. I am aware that I will not perish if my character dies, Unless it is extreme gamingz. But the time people spend on gaming is still spent, so is a hour gaming really that different from a hour of you doing... Whatever it is you do...

Bringing us to the second point: "That the goal of playing a game is fun" A point I agree with completely. I personally seem to enjoy winning a game far more then I enjoy loosing one. You my dear reader might enjoy loosing more and i can honestly say that your life must feel awsome. Something I imagine goes like this: Fuckyear! Bob makes twice as much as me and is banging my girlfreind, MY LIFE IS EPIC.

Please dont misunderstand this post. This is not me bashing noobs or those that are learning, Read: making mistakes. This is me getting completely frustrated with the 3month player that only knows how to proxy gateway and is happy with that(Starcraft), farms in the jungles for 55minutes and wonders why his team is loosing towers/getting killed(HoN).

I understand that you are enjoying lightly kissing gaming. I mean, whatever works for you.
Now if you excuse me, im going to go kiss using tongue HoN

  2. I'm more of a cooperative mindset then that of a competitive one. Online multiplayer gives me far too much adrenaline for my taste.

  8. Great post, Winning
    I'm more of a DoTA player myself, but get easily ticked off by the amount of trolls and noobs these days. I think that the best think you can do when playing with such people is to never lose composure and just do what you do best - win.
