For those who want to criticize us for rank or lack of it in MM, you have no idea what Seasoned Gamers is about and are part of the reason some of us play mostly custom games.
We have very highly ranked players, 4 man fire teams in very competitive clans, an all female clan made up of at home moms, students and N.I.L.F.s like KillerAssKlown. We probably have 12 or more WoW addicts trying to level up as I type so they can continue to smash the alliance. We have league games for everyone, league games for those with a KDR of under 1, and we can even hold a political discussion without digressing into childish name calling... not something you find often in an online community.
"Seasoned" isn't a boast about godly skills in a given game... it is an indicator that we have enough game and life experience to be decent people in and out of the game. We like to win, but still say "Good Game" if we loose. We want to win, but don't cheat, mod or exploit glitches to do so.
Most of us have owned at least one console in every generation since Atari... we remember the awe of Christmas morning with a new Nintendo or Sega Master System. I remember thinking that Mike Tyson's punch out had GREAT graphics. Yes, we are the atari generation and many of us still know the Konami codes for Contra, because it was just that important to memorise back then. Most of us remember 4 player spilt screen deathmatch on GoldenEye, trying to get the coveted "most deadly" or "Marksman" award. Back then, crossing the lines with trash talk meant you got smacked or ruined a friendship... so people kept their mouths in check and remembered that a game is a game.
I could go on, but instead I'll just say thanks again to Bungie and GOOD GAME to my friends!
