Most ironic gaming moment of 2009
Joe Burling | 7:37 PM on 01.01.2009 25 comments


While playing Call of Duty World at War with Nino, I realized something a little ironic about our scores on the world leaderboards.




Then it got even creepier...




I know what you're thinking: There was no way.













[Editors note: The use of the word "ironic" in this cblog is not the literal meaning of the word, but rather a product of 90's pop culture and slang.]

360 the worst console ever CONFIRMED.

This would never happen on the Wii (because Wii games usually don't have leaderboards or online features of any kind).

@Jonathan,

360 the worst console ever CONFIRMED.

You are right! This amazing ironic moment in a 3rd party game certainly spells doom for the 360.

I would have played my Wii instead but I ran out of candles to put on top of my TV.

Sorry to be a jerk but this is as ironic as Alanis Morissete's song.
Interesting coincidence though, or is it? If you are both of equal or near equal skill with other variables remaining more or less the same this is in fact very probable. I'm bored at the moment.

@NICOJAY,

Looking at our level shows that this is not as simple as us having near equal skill, although I do think we are pretty fairly matched.

It's strange that we, at different levels, are able to rank side by side amongst millions of people in more than one leader board at a time over a period of time. This isn't a stranger, either, but one of my best friends.

"Ironic" doesn't seem to be the right word, but this is one really creepy coincidence.

@NECROS,

From [url=http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/irony]dictionary.com[/i]

Irony = an outcome of events contrary to what was, or might have been, expected

Ranking virtually the same as one of my best friends out of millions of people would seem pretty unexpected, wouldn't you say?

Americans regard as unfair the current Democrat proposal to "deem" the Senate health care bill as passed and sending it to the President without voting up or down on it. (Click here for poll results.)Bad Credit
