Gears = soccer

Been trolling the public Gears forum lately and reading a lot of strategy tips that would be very helpful to a normal person.  I'm not normal, I suck at Gears.  It's my favorite game to suck at, but I'm really bad.  Everybody's gun is more powerful than mine, everybody's aim is better, etc.  I honestly don't understand it, been gaming for 30+ years and have never been this bad at a game.

However, there's been some preaching about understanding the "nuances" of the game.  Isn't that what soccer fans say  when people complain about soccer?  Don't most people kind of look at serious soccer fan with a touch of pity all the while thinking "you poor thing, couldn't play football could you, bless your heart".  Don't get me wrong, I'm playing Gears every night and for the most part thoroughly enjoying my suckage.  And to the guys who are doing well, congratulations.  And I'm not putting anybody down, promise.  I saw these posts and it just struck me I had someone talk to me about soccer the exact same way.  (By the way, I suck at soccer, too).

I have decided to enjoy Gears no matter how bad I am.  Anybody reading this, please remember.  I'm enthusiastic, energetic, and like long walks on the beach but I will never be an elite Gears player.  Oh, and I only curse when I'm 3/4 lit and my family isn't home.
