Shared on Thu, 06/18/2009 - 09:35I don't even want to talk about work. That's a really depressive topic. So, I hop on to my video games for a "mental getaway." Ever notice how much drama is on this site? No, seriously, take a step back and think about it. Cliques, cliques, cliques! There's still some good ole fashion, "that guy sucks so I don't want to play with him" and don't deny me this, I know it exsists, I am a bottom feeder 70% of the time on most popular games.
My other half, who has tunnel vision gaming, only playing one, maybe 2 games a season, was brought to this site by me, to not play with the foul mouthed youth of the world, codename Timmies. Some think he's been here longer than me! Gaming on the Xbox 360, yes, he's had one longer than I, but I have been a gamer longer than him and I brought him here. Gaming since 1986. Woot. Only fellow nerds can appreciate that.
He doesn't check the forums at all. Never. Nothing. No reading, just playing. I enjoy being able to contact others, and blogging Seinfieldesqe. However, the cliques are fucking tiring me. I have enough drama with earning my dough in the real world, I don't need anymore shit from people in my hobby. I do monthly cleansing, douching if you will, of my friend's lists, to people I play with the most (and few brethern that I know are in the military and sent off to tours). Some I met live in my virgin home of 2 years, Arizona.
You know what? I need to grow a pair. I need to man up in alot of things in my life, and I'll be damned if my hobby of all things, becomes corrupted. Gaming is my happy place! Not canoeing, or soccer, or even watching an entire season of America's Top Model. No. Shooting avatars in the face. Halo jumping. Punching Lui Feng in the nads. Stealing the most wanted chop shop cars. That's my entertainment and it's feeling a little comprimised right now.
There's my soap box. Look down. Yup, there it is. It's labeled "blog." Like every man's hated trend, I had a J Meyer's dream, and am deciding to bring it into fruition. Time to go back to basics. I'll actually play only the games I enjoy (and LBP seems to be the only winner on my PS3). I'll clean out the friend's list to only those I play with on the hours I usually play. I'm never a top placer in my on again/off again top games of all time, Halo 3 and COD4, but I have been in the past. So I suck. Don't play with me then or be prepared to have a person who may have a really bad k/d ratio. Whatever. I can mute timmies. Did that before I came here.
I'm not pointing fingers at clans. Don't make an ass out of you and me (assume). That's the first thing a handful do. We're all legally adults, but I just am not feeling that vibe. I'll check my email....but I think just concentrating on just playing seems like a pretty groovy idea right now for the next couple of days.
I remain to proudly sport and lay claim to my clans PcP and the guys who I need to see more 2o2R.
Hrm, mind went blank, so I guess I'm done.
