Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

I've come to the conclusion that at least 88% of fps gamers are idiotic and useless. Useless to the game and their respective teams at least, what they do and how useless they are in real life can only be exaggerated [but it's still a lot]
It boils down to 2 degrees of stupidity, and no person that is sane should try to figure out what drives them to these lengths.

the first is the most obvious. You must be a complete idiot to do bad in a first person shooter style video game. It takes a simple combination of eye hand coordination and timing, both of which are widely used in every day life, to play any fps. That makes you wonder at the competence and mental state of the people that manage to go, for example, 4 - 23. I only come to that conclusion because someone with basic motor skills should be able to at least break even in a simple game.

But there there comes the second degree of stupid. If these people where competent, they would either get better at the game, or try something else. 88% of the fps scene fail at the game, and still they insist on trying. I would commemorate them, if they actually made progress. They are too stupid to stop playing, that they will continue to play and fail until either they commit suicide or simply die of loneliness.

Of course it doesn't help that half of those individuals are under the age of 15. The amount of children that try to play FPS games is incredible, which is made even more so when you take into consideration how many of-age gamers insist on putting them down. No child shall go un-insulted in an fps game, that's just how things are.

And then the gaming gangsters come into play as well. The people that do break even, but just barely. And to them, well, let's just say their cocky. Cocky and loud. Insults will fly at anyone above them on the charts, because they did the best no matter what the charts say. You MIGHT think a 1.15 k/d ratio is bad, but that's just because you suck.
*can you feel the sarcasm yet?*

My point is, get good at FPS games or go play some shitty Wii game. Stop pestering us real gamers, because all you're doing is ruining the ride for everyone else.

Like most people, I like to try and see all my successful points in life and discredit my many shortcomings. Then, I got to thinking. I know, us lower-middle-class people aren't allowed to think, but I went on a limb and gave it a shot.
Granted, this isn't directed towards everyone, only around 85% of the world.
When passing a graveyard recently, I kind of stared at it and started daydreaming.
At first it was just sorrow at the futility of human life and that someday I would be among their ranks. But then I got to thinking of the actual people in those holes, and all the other dead this world bears.
Whether they were a rich successful person who lived a good life, or one of the poor who barely got by, they all shared the same ground. All of them were dead and it didn't really matter what they did.
I'm not saying everything in life is futile, hear me out.
What I'm saying is, people need to stop trying to prove their worth to world.
Every is worried about what people think of them, or they try to be remembered for all time. No one wants to face their own mortality.
Every one has lost themselves in pursuit of self-aggrandisement, and it's all for not.
I'm just trying to say my opinion; People need to enjoy their life's as they see fit. Forget other people and vast amounts of wealth fame or power. Live out your life the way you think it should be, live happy and die knowing you made use of the gift of life while you had it. Experience love and joy, or don't. Just DO.
I know, that last bit was pretty lame/ cliche, but seriously.

In 2003 a man named Deandre Brunston was believed to be armed and was cornered on a porch by police back in 2003. After failed negotiations the K9 unit was called in. They sent a dog after him, and he responded in a way that threatened the officers, so all of the officers opened fire. 81 rounds where sent at him, a little over 20 hit him.
Does anyone remember this?
Because I just watched the video, which is very easy to find, and realized how bullshit the news really is.
I'm posting this both as a way to bring up how idiotic some Americans really are, but also how much the news skews the facts.
There are tons of disputable rumors about what happened.

Some people say he threatened the police, when he actually yelled "If you let that dog go, I'ma shoot it"
Some people say he was holding a sandle, not a gun, but it's too hard to tell in the video, so I'm not sure if that's true or not.
Some people say that the dog was airlifted to a hospital while the man was left to bleed to death, which could be true or not, it's hard to tell with racism and all.
Some people think the police shot at him with an MP5, but those people are retarded.

From watching the video though, it's easy to tell that whatever he was holding was on the ground before the police opened fire.
This both disgusted me and made me laugh, which was odd.
I was disgusted because nothing calls for a man to be shot 81 times...it's just over doing it.
But then I laughed at how that man STILL tried to threaten the cops when they had him heavily outnumbered and surrounded in the open. Fucking moron.
It just proves how idiotic both the police and civilians can be.

Then the news.
The news reported that the man threatened cops and then attempted to fire at them. I 've seen that video, there's no way he pulled any trigger before they shot him down. For some reason they also reported that he was shot over 100 times, as if cops could fire that many rounds in a few short seconds.
They also stated over and over again that he was black, like it really mattered what color he was in this day and age.
For example;
"A local black man Deandre Brunston was gunned down by police today" "Deandre Brunston an unnarmed black man was shot over a hundred times to day"

And shit like that

Idk what my point is. I'm just shocked at how the news hides the facts, but then still sets out to piss off the people. I'm also still kind of pissed that an unarmed was shot that many times, and how strangely funny it all seems.

I'm just wondering if anyone eles has any thoughts on the matter.

Yet another pointless review!!!!!!!!
So, I recently tried Fallout 3, an addition to the series that was recently passed on to Bethesda. Bethesda is, for the non-gaming ilk, the very same team that made the Elder Scrolls games. So it's no suprise that I have to say this.
Is this game really Fallout 3, or is it just a future image of Cryodiil?
Now, not that I'm complaining. Oblivion was indeed one of the best RPGs I've ever played, and I do love the Elder Scrolls series as a whole.
But the similarities are just too much.
I know, as usual I'm knit-picking, but Fallout 3 played just like Oblivion did.
K, now on to the actual game.
First off.
SPOILER ALERT!!!!!
The guy on the cover...is a fucking good guy!
That shocked me to death. His appearance in the trailer and the way he looks on the cover makes him look like an evil mother fucker. Turns out, he's just a member of, like, this order of justice.
K, well, the game was pretty nice. I think everyone splattered the head of the crazy cop that killed your black friend as you escape.
The entire childhood process was a nice way to start off a game. You go from a crying little shitstain to a 19 year old kid with a baseball bat and a craving for violence.
Your character avoids banging the woman that totaly wants them, and then thrusts themselves out into a hellish post-atomic-war wasteland.
The only thing that ruined the flow for me was when you're about to escape and the game asks you if you're childhood played out a little wrong for you, and it promptly changes it for you.
Now... VATs.
I'm not sure what VATs translates into, but it's something along the lines of "Awsome Head Esplosion Device" and I was glad I got it at the ripe old age of 16.
The game does have its faults of course.
All the characters have this wierd problem. They never blink when talking to you.
The local NPCs just stare at you with this soul piercing gaze and talk to you without showing even the slightest bit of emotion. It's odd and can seem kind of creepy if you pay too much attention to it.
Of course that can be due to the fact that EVERYTHING is radioactive.
The water kills you.
The food kills you.
The animals kill you.
Even the fucking soda kills you with radiation.
Everything that heals you, also kills you, which really changes the way you play the game.
Unless you have money, then you can just buy tons of med packs.
Idk what to really rate this game.
It's fun, but it gets repetative and boring.
When I play it I get the same fealings I did in Oblivion, that I don't really WANT to do the next quest in store for me.
Its just gets too boring after a while.
So, it's fun and frustrating all at the same time.
=D
This game would get a 6/10 in my book, but I still haven't beat it yet, so maybe I'm missing something epic. Then again, I don't care.
It's just not as good as it could have been.
My final word is, Bethesda should have made this with out thinking back to Oblivion so much.

I'll start off strong.
Left 4 Dead is the best multiplayer based game I've ever laid eyes on!!!!
The tactics that need to go into this game if you want to win are unbelievable!
Stay together, move fast, watch eachothers backs and even calling out things you see, such as a lurking hunter or a random medkit go miles!
Even playing as the ravanous mega-zombies with the horde by your side, you need tactics.
An infected team can only be affective if they atack in coordination. For example, say a survivor took a few seconds to patch himself up, but the other three ran ahead without noticing. A smoker could pull him back and strangle him, which would alert his team. When they turn back to kill the defensless smoker, a pair of hunters could pounce two of them, rendering them useless. All that's needed to make a scenario like this perfect is to have a fat ass boomer run in and vomit on them all, which would alert the hundreds of normal zombies in the area to their location.
Then there's the chance of getting a Tank on your side, or even playing as it. The Tank is, if you don't know, a simple biological equation. Man + Gorilla + Steroids = Tank.
Of course, there some minor flaws with the game.
When players leave, AI gets put in control of their character. That's bad because they are TOO good. Like, good beyond the element. In a forested area covered in a dense smog, they can see you through hundreds of trees from a mile away and headshot you with a pistol before you realize what happened.
Then there's the fact that the Tank was dulled down for VS, as in, the tank's health goes from it's normal 15,000 to just 5,000, making him easy prey for a well equipt team of survivors.
Idk, I'm just nitpicking.
In truth, Idk how to explain how awesome this game is, but it is just that, awesome.
I actually came out of this dumbstruck at the fact that I could only find one real negative aspect of the game, the teammates.
If you don't make a party of friends before you start, you'll be stuck with a team of people that think that they alone can take on the other team and win. They go miles ahead of the team, atack alone, and call you all duche bags for using tactics.
Good Fun.
It's happened everytime I click on that "Quick Game" button...
But, I suppose that is a fate all multi-player games must face.
This game gets my first 10/10 and promises to be an all time favorite of mine.

Ok, I just finished Gears of War 2 the other day. To mark the occasion, I'm gonna write a useless review about it.
Let me start out by saying, that I don't enjoy saying what I have to say.
Gears of War has alot going for it.
The trailers were godly.
The cut scenes and near cinematic gameplay were beautiful.
The fast paced air battles were great, as were the tank and brumak riding levels.
And I don't think anyone can play this entire game with out laughing at the very stereotypical Cole.
But, all in all, I hated this game.
Idk what did it for me.
Maybe it was the liniar gameplay.
Or the random introduction of new characters (Who we're apparently supposed to miss when they die a horrible death)
It also could have been how one character, Dom, suddenly went from a hard ass juicer to a pussy whipped bitch with a gun.
There's also the slight chance that the boss battles where too...idk... poorly done.
Idk why it took three grenades to kill one fish and the quick time buttons put a dull onto the only promising boss battle in the game.
Not to mention the overhype.
The trailers and pre-release footage made it look as if this game was going to have massive open battles and awsome vehicle battles.
Instead I got to go skiing in a tank and took a very short stroll on a brumak.
The rest of the massive battles and vehicle combat parts of the game were either cinematics or just ride alongs. By ride alongs, I meen you were there, but not very involved.

Idk, it's just my opnion that Gears of War 2 was complete garbage, and if you liked it I meen no offense. It just wasn't my kind of game.

The guys at EB were amazed that I turned it in so quick, and aparently it was unexpected, because the resale price wasn't even in the coomputers yet.

Regardless, I turned thegame in to help pay off me reserved copy of Left 4 Dead, which I'm getting aroind noon today.
