About

Hello there! My name is Chris. It's nice to meet you.

I am 21 years old and I have been playing games for my entire life. When I was one or two years old my parents would sit with me in front of the TV and help me play Atari. Actually, I might be making that up. I'm not sure, but it's definitely not far from the truth. I remember playing pac-man, and dig dug, and pong. Growing up, I've played through the NES, the Sega Genesis, PS 1,2,3, Gamecube, the XboX and the 360. I've played on more systems than that, but those are the most memorable. Games are something that have grown with me over the years and I'm always amazed by the progress of both.

I ride a motorcycle, I love to play ping pong, I'm not a virgin, I love high fives, I bounce between atheism and being agnostic. I celebrate holidays. I'm usually not a dick. I am also bi-sexual. I am mixed between black, puerto rican and some other stuff. I get laid rarely. That's on purpose. It's also not on purpose. I tend to break a lot of stereotypes, but not consciously. I am very open minded. And, I ponder things very often and I tend to get wrapped up in my own head. However, I love hearing anybody else's opinion unless it is purposely hurtful. Basically, I'm a good dude.

I like you.

Random loudmouths in video games...

2:25 PM on 12.24.2010

I play games to get away from judgment. People are always judging. People are always hating. But, I'm not a rapper and such things aren't very useful to me. I play games whenever I feel the need to shake of such criticisms or at least toss them back and forth with a friend instead.

But there are a few games that seem to feel that it's absolutely necessary to mock me at every turn. It's usually extreme sports games that perpetrate the dickitude. It would be a bit more palatable if the insults were fresh and interesting. But, they are always so platitudinous. Lame.

For example, I was playing Stoked, which is a fairly boring snowboarding game. But, I enjoy simply gliding down a mountain and taking in the snowy vistas. I'm fine until I land wrong and roll down the hill a bit. But, why does the game feel the need to kick me while I'm down.

Some disembodied bro always pops up and chimes in with something like, "Woah, nice landing!" or, "Nice boner, Dork!". I'm paraphrasing, of course. And, when I decided to mute the speech volume in the game, I quickly became aware that there are text insults that pop up during failures as well. "That's gotta hurt!". Nice.

I've got a thick skin. In real life friendly banter and mockery actually can make a game better. But, nondescript in-game characters always comes off as bullying and/or irksome, when they attempt it. It's irritating and I see no use for it in video games where I don't at least get to shoot back, words or otherwise.

It's like when I open a box of cereal and lose a contest. I know that I'm "not a winner.". But, there is no need to rub it in my face every morning for a week. Of course, the best part of waking up is the coffee! It's not that hard for a cup of joe to be the favorite, when the cereal is being such a negative d-bag all of the time. Way to ruin my day cereal.

I guess I could just not play those games. But, they are usually otherwise pretty fun. Plus, what if I already bought it?

...Well, there goes my lunch money.

Awesome blog! Nice writing and good choice of pics. I also totally agree. When I game online I expect the comments and harassment - but when I choose to game offline, I don't want some A.I. character making judgements... and generally being annoying. :(

"Nice boner, dork"

Was it the kinect enabled version you were playing?

HandsomeBeast

I was expecting a pic of that dog from Duckhunt. His taunting is funny at first, but after a lot of failures, it really gets under your skin. One of these days I'll make him shut up for good...

Qraze

good blog. i was a little confused and thrown off by the title but i do agree!
nothing worse then that asshole in the game. when i'm playing skate, you think they would be kind enough to at least say to me when i bust ass, "are you okay man,? shrug it off, you can do this one", instead of, "i bet that hurt" or something as equally sarcastic.

when i used to skate in real lofe (and still like to just cruise around) and i bust, the first thing my friends do is make i'm alright, you don't laugh at me until they know i'm alright lol.

(crikeys, this month has not been good to me regarding not seeing typos until after i've posted them).

@Elsa
Thanks ,Elsa, for the nice words. Especially the ones about my writing, I'm blushing a little.
@Bakewell
No. But, I see what you did there.
@HandsomeBeast
I'm with you. I've said it before, and I'll say it again. "Fuck that dog!"
@Qraze
I do tend to have trouble finding a title that's catchy and describe what I'm talking about. And, I would not hang out with that camera guy in skate. He shows very little concern. I mean, the dude laughs when I get hit by cars.

Qraze

haha! i'm with ya on that brother!
