You should play on the unpopulated servers, that way nobody in this forum has to put up with your nonsensical ramblings.
You mean how most of them PVP fags, modern warfare black ops and team fortress abominable reincarnate?
Don't get me wrong. The three things I pointed out are indeed good, but there are fags in it, simply by judging that based on experience of human behavioural analysis. And it's more than just finding out who are the rage quitters and whiners.
Like you for example, loves gaming, but failed to see how similar are many people in gaming actually act like the very degenerates who look down on those who play games. A lot of these degenerates, rely on two particular traits:
1) A wannabe pro, as in not humble enough to even ask for help or say thank you in games, just like how those virtues are needed in real life.
2) By being non-apologetic about mistakes, these degenerates really think that saying apologizing or admitting one's own mistakes is a sign of weakness, rather than an act of virtue.
3) By failing the top 2 clauses above, most of Malaysian gamers may as well have misconstrued the meaning of gaming by treating the game as an alternative and an easier way to seek glory in comparison to real life, except that they fail when you can see the very same traits and psychological behaviour they practise in real life (including the bad Malaysian habits) whenever they are playing a game. And there are plenty of Singaporeans doing the same as well.
I believe in gaming psychology, and I realized that it is similar to social psychology in many ways, where gaming is merely just another environment one emulate his or her habits (be it good or bad) that is brought from real life, either by the way they behave in games, or by the way how they behave extravagantly and extreme, as if they have found a vent for their frustrations which they can't find in real life.
Gaming projects an existentialism which are suppressed by the distractions and the decisions in reality. It is fantastical and fictatious in nature, but it allows a realization of one's true potential in making life choices, so that if it is practiced healthily, it will bring forth a veracity of an individual which is otherwise invisible in the real world, so that dreams can be finally be ephiphanized, revealed, and made.
You play games. I play games and fight with them. Not by kill-death ratios, high scores, and having the best items.
But by having to understand that gaming must be an absolute parallel universe to real life that humility in games will being you to heights.
And these are dictations and the philosophy that will shut up any wannabe gamers with their iPhones, and those who regard gaming as an entertainment for toddlers, those pre-Information Age bast*rds.
And stop saying the usual phrase, "I am still learning". You are not. If you are, the first thing you will do is apologize, and change. Not by deflecting your mistakes with an excuse by claiming that you could have been a pro given that you have enough time to play the game.
