About Me

edit

I'm a mid-twenties, indiscriminate gamer who runs a geek website with my girlfriend, Nicole. You can check it out at http://www.geekspodcast.com if you'd like, but I admit we've grown a bit lazy and haven't actually, you know, podcasted in a while! Regardless, I'm a down to earth kind of guy who enjoys a variety of games, though I have a special place in my heart for Silent Hill 2, just like Nicole does. Right now I'm recovering from the midnight launch for Modern Warfare 2 and waiting to get off work so I can work on the site, play some MW2/Borderlands, and possibly research amateur taxidermy on my collection of cellar rats. Just kidding- I don't have Borderlands ;)

I'm Hella Rusty in MW2 and it Shows
drizzt \| 5:57 PM on 01.14.2010	7 comments

While initially I prided myself on completing the game on veteran, I see now that my neglecting multiplayer has caught up to me. You see, this goofy kid from work I hang out with from time to time finally got his shit together and got a 360. On my recommendation he picked up MW2 and I finally got my chance to play with him online tonight. As I'm sitting here typing this, he is positively cleaning up with 19 kills and 2 deaths while I'm sitting, well, 2 kills and 9 deaths. Yes, it's degrading, but I assure you all I really am better than my level 13 would indicate.

Anyways, I suppose the real reason I haven't excelled like my colleagues is that I've just been too wrapped up in Bayonetta/Army of Two lately. Both of which are good games, but sadly it has detracted from multiplayer usefulness in this particular shooter.

What vices have you all had that have kept you from being all that you can be to your online teammates?

Well I got MW2 and instantly fell in love. Currently level 35 or so online, plus have over 40 stars in Special Ops. But then I got Assassin's Creed II and Persona 4 in a short amount of time apart from each other. I haven't even begun to dive into P4, ACII is taking up most of my time. I'll be jumping back into MW2 soon enough though, since ACII is almost done. It's hard to stick around in one spot in the gaming world, since it is a world of distractions.

I played MW2 online for the first time in a couple months last night. I was pretty rust too but I won 4 of the 6 games I was playing. I just had a fart that seriously lasted 15 seconds straight while typing this. Have a nice day! I'm sure the rustyness will wear off eventually.

Smashed through Campaign on veteran and finished off Spec Ops with 69 stars a few days ago. I'm at 58 in MP but I haven't been bitten by the bug to play in a while. It's the first game I ever got 1000 Gamerscore in.

What vices have you all had that have kept you from being all that you can be to your online teammates?

My vice has been the MAG beta. I haven't really played MW2 all that much online because the MAG beta has been around on and off and I've been quite addicted. It's been 2 weeks since I last played MW2 and I'll likely try and play in the FNF tonight... and I'm sure I'll have a huge round target printed on my ass (while I figure out my controls again and how to throw a grenade! LOL!)

I'm currently sitting at prestige 5 level 60 something and have maintained my "skill" in MW2 even after spending time away to beat Army of Two: The 40th Day as well as to start playing DA:O for the 2nd time. But I have to reply to what Elsa mentioned. My vice in MW2 is that I play all game modes as if they were team deathmatch in order to maintain/raise my K/D ratio of 2.85. I'll usually end up with the most kills/lowest deaths in ground war domination even though my team will lose as I neglect to actually capture any flags.

I'm 70 first prestige, and don't plan on prestiging again anytime soon as I'd like to keep my AK longer than last time, aka 4 games. People say I'll get bored but I don't care about my rank as much as I do my guns and having fun. Don't beat yourself up for being 2/9, just have fun with the game... Too many people take MW2 too seriously. "GODDAMNIT I'M 1 AND 372!!! AHHH!" "Dude... STFUJPG!"
