Subject: Nerds: You are what you play

I share this account with my brother and friend.
If you got destroyed, it was me.
If you had a decent challenge, it was my bro.
If you observed said account struggling to aim, shoot, or move separately, it was my friend.

Wow OP why so upset?

  • 12.01.2011 11:04 PM PDT

Name's John. I'm a 21-year-old firefighter/EMT from lolhio who doubles as a die-hard Halo fan. I've been enjoying the franchise since 2001. My favorite iteration of Halo would have to be Halo 2 simply because I never got to experience the joy of a full-on Halo: CE LAN.


If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

Oh yeah, and boot Zome.

I spend a good amount of time on the forums, don't put a whole lot of thought into my stats (a little, but not much), I play for fun but I'm still pretty competitive in-game (I like to win and generally try my best to do so; it's the most fun), I don't consider myself a pro or even average even though I enjoy watching/playing MLG and try to emulate their level of competition (a.k.a. tryhard), and I don't boast about beating randoms although I'll get mad if I get killed by someone I perceive to be worse than me. Oh, and I generally make it a point to conduct myself online as I would in real life. The only exception comes when I'm raging.

I don't consider myself to have a miserable life, nor do I feel the need for a confidence boost. I'm already in my dream career, but still in school to advance said career; I'm in a happy, healthy relationship and I bro out with friends all the time.

I'm not really seeing a cut-and-dry place for me here. Halp. I want to know my place. =(

What if I'm a mm warrior without trying hard? Or checking stats?

If its just that easy.

There is a blurry line.

I'm usually just an average gamer, but I also enjoy play mlg and being competitive every once and awhile.

Considering that I come from a non English speaking background, I'm doing pretty damn well.

Funny how it's only average gamers responding, but the so called "MM pros" are nowhere to be seen.

What's wrong tryhards? Did I hit the nail on the head with this one? lulululululz


They are too busy hiding from the truth, rather than embracing it.

Or they aren't wasting their time posting on B.net. Instead, they play online and win.

I don't fit in any of those. I play for fun (Obviously, everybody does) but I check my stats from time to time and enjoy some competition and MLG. I suppose I act the same IRL as I do on XBL

Everyone is entitled to their own wrong opinion.


I'm part of the Bungie.net Minecraft group/server called SeptaCrafters
We're a Bungie.net group that goes to our very own Bungie server. Most players are from the Halo community either off Bungie itself or through word to Halo friends.

NOTA

None of the above.


Now what?
