I play fighting games for some god forsaken reason

take the hatred people have for multiplayer shooters and now imagine them focusing all their hatred directly against you, their opponent, every single time things don't go as planned

that's fighting games, it's basically one step below multiplayer shooters and a hair above DOTA style games for housing the whiniest shitlords imaginable

i never got into these because all I ever do is flail around at the buttons randomly but drat if your'e not selling me on em

You mean regular non-full-blown-asperger's-m'lady-anime-shirt-and-trilby fighting games or Smash Brothers?

I played a lot of counter strike when I was 14 because I could try to do my geometry homework between rounds

now I'm 28 and I don't have geometry homework to do and I just want to run around like an idiot spraying bullets everywhere without waiting 5 minutes between my abject failures, is that so much to ask???

also a few years after CS there was this knockoff from some people who worked on CS called Global Operations, did anyone play that? That game was extremely my poo poo, it was like Counter Strike but it had character classes and really long rounds where respawns were handled by waves of reinforcements at minute-long intervals so having a good medic or two on your team was key

Would kill to play that game again except it was on the Lithtech engine and ran like total garbage so no one played it, I think it had like two dozen dedicated servers tops even when it was new

here is a video of a grown man gleefully antagonizing an 8 year old

I'm not sure if I love or hate this but it pretty much sums up fighting games because that 8 year old could very easily be a 23 year old with a similar voice

yeah all he'd really need to do is either block it and run in or do a move that will armor through it, generally doing the same thing over and over again is not a winning strategy in any fighting game that people actually play

I did the same thing to some British guy by using Sub Zero's slide over and over again and he got so mad at me on the mic that I felt bad that a grown adult was so angry at a video game, verbally calmed him down, and explained how to hold down and block and then punch me in the face after blocking

Basically people who play video games are bad at life including me

I've played some on Xbox Live and the only time anyone who has been caremad about video games has ever called me a human being was in YOSPOS.

Myth busted.

When the first socom came out I was so enamored with the concept that a 7 year old called me a cocksucker that I couldn't bring myself to disable it

call of duty ghosts was horrible but it's one redeeming feature is that the game would occasionally command you to teabag someone you just killed in exchange for a killstreak
