The sweet taste of an asskicking...by a 13 year old
Ceej989 | 10:05 AM on 09.08.2008 13 comments




No no, you read that right. I did get my ass kicked in. By a 13 year old.

In a local Halo 3 slayer game.
The score? 25-0. Yes, 25 to nothing, zero, zlich.


Let me be straight up about this though, I am awful at FPS's. I get the idea of
understanding certain strategies and learning the maps, etc, etc. But I don't care! I just
want to blow shit up!


Apparently he was better at it then me.


So this little guy is one of my family friends. I've seen this kid grow up to become this
beast. It's funny because I remember when he was an even smaller pip-squeak, I had to
show him the ropes on many a games and even beat him down in some. Now the student
has bested the master. Sorry, bested isn't the proper word, he obliterated me. But it
was all in fun (though frustrating).

What amazed me about this experience is how quickly these younger kids pick up these
games and master them. And yes I know there are a buttload of these kids out there. I
see them all the time on Live. I mean, back in the 16 bit days it was just a few buttons and
a D-pad. Now there are trigger buttons, pressure sensitive buttons, and friggin analog
sticks!
Gaming has come a long way, and the generation has stepped up to the challenges. For
that, I tip my hat.




Now about my bruised ego......I guess I could just punch him in the face and call it even. ;-)

"buttload of these kids"

Never use that phrase in front of a police officer.

Also, good read.

Kids suck. They're supposedly our future, which means we're their past - think about it.

I've never seen it that way before. Now I hate children even more.

We don't even have Halo 3, but my younger brother (he's 16) and his friends decide to form a team for a Halo tournament, just for fun.

They got third out of sixteen.

This is the same brother who has been kicking my ass in everything from Super Smash Bros, to Mario Kart, to Guitar Hero for as long as we've had a game system. All I can say is he's freakishly talented at pretty much any video game you can throw at him.

Kids these days.

Dayum, you really need to brush up your skills dude!!!
I hate to see you on COD4, you'll probably die a LOT more! :)

Just improve dude, it can be done, I excel at FPS games. Mind you I have played them for years now, so that's maybe why.

Yes Mushman, I tend to die, frequently on COD4, but whatever, no biggie
