Ever come across some guy who acts tough in games, acts haute and rex, trying to prove his skill in a particular video game? Like those douchebags that play Halo and shit all day? Oh I love making fun of them. The people of this coddled age of cellphones and second-chances are way too disrespectful. I don’t insult people about their skill when I’m at work–and I deal with some real window lickers some days. People that don’t account for load factors, space for fasteners, or hell, the durability of the material they’re working with.
So why would I bring that to the games I play? Some of these “gamers” don’t even understand what they’re doing. “Oh I’m so haute that I’m performing at a higher level than some other person, I now have to demean them with slang and urban atrocities until they quit!” Yeah, that makes you look like a douchebag, and no one but your fellow douchebags will want to play with you. Thus the spawning of the “elite” gaming community. Only elite in their pompousness and egos, get ragefaced when they get knifed then they start griefing or micspamming obscenities.
I’m no slouch when it comes to Bad Company, proof’s in the pudding of me having max rank in the beta before hitting my 10th hour of playtime. As a Battlefield vet, I’m no max ranker, but I’m no freshmeat either.
I’m about to make an observation that I bet no one’s thought about. I’m going to go ahead and say I’m the first one that’s pointed this out, because I’m the King.
The playerbase ratio of douchebags is directly proportionate to the speed of the game.
Red Alert *.* : <10% Douchebag. Game takes forever to play.
Battlefield 2 : <20% douchebag. The gameplay isn't particularly slow, but there is a noticeable lull in combat.
Counterstrike source : <35% douchebag. Game plays pretty slow between rounds, but can end quickly.
Socom Confrontation : >60% Douchebag. Rounds can end almost as fast as they start sometimes, with urbanite trash slandering each other over the mic.
Call of Duty *.* : >90% douchebag. Spawn, die. Spawn, die. Spawn, die.
Are we in agreement? I think so. But Marty, what do butthurt douchebags do when you call them out? They whine and slander others due to their personal inadequacies, as they would if they “pwned” someone. I say good on you, if you can beat someone at a video game and it makes you feel better. If that’s all you need to reach a plateau of personal fulfillment, then you my friend lead a simple life, have simple goals and need nothing more than yourself and your self-stroking ego to live.
But instead of being the solution, you’re the problem. You drive off new players, thin out the already existing players until you can only go against either greifers or people of your skill or higher. Thus, you destroy the game.
Tell you what though, I’m a realistic individual. You act like a douchebag, and eventually fate will see to it you come across someone who just isn’t in the mood for your attitude. Someone like me…Well not like me, more like how I used to be, and I used to be a hacker. You’ll lock horns with a blackhat who’s just trying to let off some steam, or kill some time and you’ll do something to anger him just enough, like call him a “Scrub” for not getting 200 headshots in a row, like you’re Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins from TLC, Mr.90′s. And you’ll do just enough to get him to occupy a few minutes of his time to steal everything you own. All of your scores, records, stats, accounts, everything. How do I know this will happen? I’ve done it before.
We’ve all done things we regret, so stop this before you regret it. I’m not saying that I’ll hack you, I’m saying that the risk of screwing with the wrong person and he wrecks everything you got. It takes nothing to respect someone. Even simple silence is more respectful than a poor insult.
So take it easy, Mr.Ubergamer. Enjoy your false bravado and your shallow victories.
Yours in hate–
The King of Pain.
PS: This is why I hate the Xbro live community. They act so tough because they’re good at a few crappy games.
