"Team shoot the wraith!"
"What's a team shoot and what's a wraith?!"
"It means we all shoot at the big blue thing together!"
"Okay!"
*starts betraying blue teammate*

So what you're saying is, retards are retarded.

Yup, most of us have understood that for a longg time now.

I don't find that to be entirely true. According to a couple of competitive gamers, I'm considered a casual. By your logic, I don't care about how much "effort" is put into a game. I'll just have fun. No, that's not true.
There is a thing between hardcore and casual. It's not one or the other.


No, hardcore and casual is not a thing.

Being alone.
You're a mod, you should be used to that.

None of you are hardcore gamers, I probably would be the closest one to a hardcore gamer if you take into account my prior gaming "adventures". I was ranked for 1v1ing on MW3 on When they had a ranked portion, they moved it though and I was ranked 9th in North America on here, if you want me to prove it just look at my gamertag here and go off of that and look at the rankings on either channel or just look for a video by sin bulletproof on SLB, he's on my FL and I actually trained him.

Don't think I'm arrogant about that, because I'm not. I only bring it up in threads like this.



Just to make you guys mad.

Can you be in between a hardcore and social gamer? I like to win but I also like to have fun.

I believe a vast majority of the competitive community would like to have a cup of tea with you.

If we disagree, it's nothing personal, opinions are opinions.
Antagonizing me to build a false sense of worth is so damn cute.

Brighten your day with science.

It's not my fault, I was just trying to tie my shoe!

Join TFS, the grooviest private group on bungie.net! We r cewl gaiz who dun fraid of nething. Join for heated debates, game nights, and lols. We're waiting! (Be a man) We must be swift as the coursing river. (Be a man), With all the force of a great typhoon. (Be a man), With all the strength of a raging fire. Mysterious as the dark side of the moon!

Don't preach to me, filthy casual!

All joking aside, I agree. It's under my judgement that if you play any game, you're a gamer. I don't see people as 'casual' and 'hardcore'.

It makes me laugh because you actually "trained" someone to be good in a video game. Don't take offense, though.

  • 01.07.2013 7:19 PM PDT

Why are you here?

Casual, competitive, what does it matter? Just play the games you like however you like.

While that may be true, I'm just going to pretend otherwise.

Meh. I don't take gaming that seriously. I've been gaming ever since... Well, when my parents first got Internet when I was a child. I don't really care what people play, but I wish all the mainstream titles would stop being so repetitive and similar to each other. There really haven't been any major changes to CoD since CoD4. Halo was fun because it was different from other shooters, but its gameplay mechanics have blended in with the rest if the modern shooters. BF3 would still be a fun game if it didn't require 15 GB updates and if they never added in private servers that people can essentially rent. I would've appreciated a custom game mode, similar to private matches in CoD or custom games in Halo, but I hate being constantly kicked by 12 year olds.

Jay, why you being mean to yourself?

Jay acts like she's better than everyone else simply because she's a chick.
I hope she chokes to death.

I've never found "attention whore" to be all that much of an insult, and it amuses me that people say it about me as though I should be mortally offended by it.

I love attention, guys. Attention is great! Most people feel the same way.

But that's another discussion for another time.

I don't mind if you like attention but I won't call you an attention whore or some other variation of it. That OK?
