 Most of you who have been following my blog already know of my love for the COD games, and if you know that, then you also know I’m not very good at it. I seem to be the kill-ee much more than the kill-er, but, since I’m there more to have fun than to show off, I’m okay with that.

My husband was watching me play a little bit last night, which lead to a conversation. Usually, when someone remarks that they don’t get many kills, or that their k/d ratio is bad, what they mean is they get 9 or 12 kills, something like that, and, like, 18 deaths. When I say I’m bad, what I mean is bad. I’m talking 3 kills and 35 deaths bad. I stink.

However, the few kills that I do get, are often times quite impressive. My instincts are very, very good, but my reaction time is a bit slow. Most of the time, I think, if I could just get 1 or 2 more bullets in, they’d die instead of me. So my husband has proposed an interesting theory, which I am eager to get your opinions on.

He thinks that a wired controller may give me, say, a millisecond advantage over the wireless I’m using now – possibly the 2 extra bullets I’m talking about.

So my question is, do you think this is true? His theory is that there is a time lag while the controller communicates with the box, which makes sense to me. (Of course this won’t make me a better player, it just gives me a little bit better shot at being normal sucktastic, instead of super extra sucktastic.)

Since we have three injured controllers, and only one working controller, it’s time to purchase a new one. So I thought before I run out and by the same ol’ thing again, that I might do some “research”, and see what others in this community think.

I think it goes without saying, (but here I am saying it anyways,) that I am against a modded controller, so please, no suggestions on that. The idea of not knowing if it was me, or the controller, that just got that really cool kill doesn’t appeal to me much.

This week I’m throwing a shout-out to XSSmoke (your comment about licking the mail, and the money and all that was very amusing, Thank You.), and one to Sandra33, for her caring remarks in another post.
