Firstly: I swear to make the ****ing point. :0D
Secondly: I don't want to hear this over-devotion to games stuff. Just because I play games and I consider it a major hobby doesn't mean it's my entire life. I do plenty of other things, and have plenty of friends who are female. God, that stereotype is old. We've been dealing with that since you brats were in ****ing diapers.
As far as you being the first in your neighborhood to buy Half-Life...all that tells me is that you were the first in your neighborhood to have your CD key locked out of steam because five of your friends tried to use it before you. And no, spending 10 bucks your dad gave you or you got in some sort of gift card on the HL platinum pack at your local Cheap-O Depot doesn't count as "spending hard earned money."
Thanks for the advice on girls. I'm sure you've got a lot of experience and "mabey" I should consider some "anger manegment" therapy. I should really start spelling ****ty, typing like a retard, and cheating at a crappy overrated half-life mod. Then I'll get all the chicks just like you, right, Styer? Come on...seriously. :0\
You didn't tell us all who pays your internet bill. You didn't tell us how many hours a day you work and how you come home after a day of being screwed off on by your boss, you come home and want to have a little fun and play a game, only to have it ruined by some 15 year old piece of **** with no etiquette who thinks that everything in the world should be frigging handed to them just because.
Saying that devotion to games is sad or wrong is just retarded. If it was a cooler hobby, would it be more acceptable to be devoted to it? Let's get one thing straight here, my life's no bushel of frigging roses. I bust my ass at two jobs, my car is falling apart, I haven't been able to join up and play in any bands in forever, and my confidence in my work is up ****'s creek in general which is causing me a massive case of writer's block on this particular writing project I work on. Are games my whole life? No. But they are one of the few places I can turn to where I logically go ahead and expect a reasonably GOOD experience that is fun and entertaining. And people with your kind of approach ruin that for me, and make things like CS or HL or my cable modem service and router a big fat ****ing waste of MY hard-earned money.
And yea the aug sucks no reason to use it is if u need the scope which is sad.
See man...this just proves to me what kind of gamer you are. "It's not the best gun, why use it?" I mean...do people like that even know how to play games, or do they just look for the particular competitive method that does the most for them and has the least penalty, and whore it for the rest of their lives?
Bottom line: It doesn't matter if you paid for your **** or not. Some of us are on here to RELIEVE stress and HAVE A GOOD, FUN TIME. The ****ing box art doesn't advertise **** like "Annoy total strangers anonymously!!!" and "cheat while calling people ***s!!"
I didn't pay 40 bucks for half-life (yeah, 40, not like the bull**** artists who go "I did buy it!" and mean the platinum pack from the bargain bin for 15 bucks that you bought when they couldn't "hack" their way into steam) so I could go watch people like you rush and kill me because of impossibly fast "reflexes" that I can't match without duplicating myself.
I don't know what's sadder. That people cheat, or that people brag like they're good afterward.
I had a good example in a quick ESF match with Smith the other night. He kicked my ass up and down the server, but he didn't use any of the stupid "tactics" that are so popular. I consider that to be REAL skill. Anything less is cheating and no matter how you slice it THE GAMES WEREN'T BUILT SO YOU COULD BUY THEM AND USE THEM TO RAISE HELL AND ANNOY OTHER CHARACTERS IN GAME.
'Nuff said.
