What gaming skill are you most proud of?

[Canniballisticduck]

So you're proud of being an insufferable asshole and probably a sociopath as well?

. . .

Yes

I hope you get run over by a bus as soon as humanly possible, you fucking waste of oxygen.

he does have a point

Heres my question: if the entire forum agrees that juandonde deserves to die painfully, can they ban the entire forum? And if they ban the entire forum, is it still a forum? Does the webspace have its own purpose, or do we imbue it with one?

Quick test, everyone report the person above them, and then juandonde come back in a week when were all banned and check to see if its still a webboard.

I'm rather good at stratergy based things, you know tactics squad command etc, got a knack for knowing what people are going to do and when.

Also due to a fight i had when i was a kid I damaged my left eye, and have a yellow hue to my vision which seems to help pick out shadow movement in games.

This is getting a little ridiculous, don't you think?

It's not the moderators' job to assess the validity of every opinion expressed on the forum. It's their job to make sure that actual discussion of a topic at hand doesn't get buried under inappropriate, irrelevant or openly hostile posts. If you want to talk (NOT rant) about griefing, make a new thread about it.

The Escapist has published numerous articles about griefing by people who have thought a lot more about it than either juandonde or frontier psychiatrist. Here's two off the top of my head:

http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/issues/issue_147/4856-Team-Roomba
http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/issues/issue_38/233-Griefing-is-Good-Freedom-of-Choice-and-the-Politics-of-Gameplay

Does that mean that The Escapist endorses griefing? Of course not. It's an issue that a lot of gamers have passionate opinions about. Just think a little harder next time about where (i.e. 'not this thread') and how (i.e. 'not by flame-baiting or making death threats') it's appropriate to express those opinions.

I can basically learn the mapping of the controller in 2 minutes, doesn't matter what game.

Even if I haven't played a game for a month or two, I'm able to pick up the controller and immediately get used to the controls again. Comes with the eerily accurate photographic memory.

 

[Meet_Your_Doom]

I can shoot out a cars tyres in GTA from miles away, and I can drive full speed through oncoming traffic in the Comet, and not ever touch the other cars. I'm great at drifting at high speed too

That's almost true with me unless there's a huge difference in the button mapping of two different games. Like how O is jump in Kingdom Hearts and X is attack when usually its the oposite in some games, it takes a minute or two to get used to but after that it's like i've played it for months.

I remember that since I was so good at beating games for my friend, we agreed that I would only beat a level at a time and unless my friend was REALLY desperate I would not beat the final level. Yeah, we completely ignored that rule.

Yes, he wants him to get run over by a bus and calls him a waste of oxygen.

This should be intresting if hes the one to run him over.

Juandonde get a gun fast.

 

[wasted space]

I never used cheats or guides on a hard game/level where my friends will after 2-4 tries, so I guess perseverance.

 

[Exosus]

What does probation mean? Is that like if I suggest that someone who may or may not deserve to be run over by something which may or may not kill them then I may or may not get nazid?

 

[Fruhstuck]

Too many people in this thread have delusions of grandeur.

HaHaHa lol the irony there did give me a good chuckle

Anyways, thought of another one, i'm Shit Hot at the original Rayman
Just sweep through it without losing a life lol
Made me happy when i was like 9

 

[SecretTacoNinja]

Hmmm, I can 5 star 'Cliffs of Dover' On GH3 on hard without breaking a sweat.

 

[peterwolfe]

I don't think people like juandonde (think that's the name, to lazy to check) "suck the fun out of a game". in an mmo, the whole fun i have consists of finding items and leveling up. if i get killed and have to restart somewhere, great! more game for me. and that goes for monsters and asshats, because really it makes no difference who kills you.

as for talents, i'm a pretty good sniper, if i do say so myself.

 

[stevesan]

rocket jumping in quake 1. too bad it's different (and easier - less cool) in TF2

 

[RaffB]

Me + Sniper + Any Game That Isnt Halo = Godlike after about 5 mins of playing game

I love sniping

I don't really get this. If you're playing your MMORPG (since there are plenty of other massive genres) like a hack & slash action RPG, you might as well play a game that's designed to be one. Like Diablo, for instance. MMORPGs tend to become really boring if you ignore the whole social aspect to them.

 

[Solo508]

I'm good at melee in fps, whether its knifing medics up the ass on BF2 or batting a pyros head in on TF2 I seem to have an uncanny nack at keeping them in my FOV. A gaming skill I'd like to say I have is strategy planning... but I don't... I'm not very good at that but its something I admire. I need to play more RTS. Starcraft 2 might help that!

 

[Maet]

I've obtained five stars on Through the Fire and Flames on expert, and I have 30 Full Combos on Guitar Hero 3. That's about it I guess.

 

[Solo508]

I'm the most talented melee user in GunZ of the entire united states. (seriously, I've gone through 5 tournaments, won them all)

Arghh GunZ!! I hate all that butterly crap that you have to do to get anywhere in that game. I was good at it but I think it would have been better without that stuff.

...i think i get what you're saying. yes, the socialization in the mmorpg is pretty important, but, to me, so is the leveling up and items and all that. you know, the open-endedness, along with the added variable of what other players are doing.
and even if the socialization was THE most important part to me, stuff like being killed by some dude would still not suck the fun out of the game, seeing as being ambushed and having to respawn somewhere doesn't really effect how you socialize...and since most ambushes would probably happen when the "victim" is alone, it's not like i'm being seperated by my friends or anything. it just means i have to do what i've already done for a little bit, or maybe do something completely different. in that sense, me being killed makes the game even more open ednded and fun.
