I Want to be a Better Gamer

Generally, when I think of gaming I think of also being proficient at it.  It's like a sport to me, if I'm not in the top I'm failing myself.  Of course there's nothing wrong with being "bad" at a game.


One game I'm pretty bad at is StarCraft 2.  I love this game to bits but rarely played it.  I think for what I played I'm pretty "ok" at it but I'm still a bad player.  I lose pretty much within the first ten minutes of playing with anyone else who casually plays a few times a week.  Usually, my reason for not playing is time.


Timing is everything.  If I don't have the time to sit down and play a thirty minute match either I'll attempt a quick match or I just won't play.  For me though, even within that quick match I like to improve on something.  Whether it's micro, macro, or just paying more attention to the time so I can expand and get my army a few more troops.

Another game I enjoy playing is COD.  Currently I've been playing Black Ops 3.  I prefer to play with my husband but I'll play alone from time to time if I'm in the mood.  I typically play with him though because he's a fucking beast at it.  No I'm not hyping him up, he is fucking Godlike in it.  Usually, he's at the top of the leader boards and he's barely trying.  I like having someone I can aim for (though don't get me wrong I DO enjoy playing with him even if he's not the best player).


Now, here's a few game screenshots of how I did tonight to kind of graze over how far I've come and after I'll share where I was K/D wise.






These are some good ones for me and I'm proud of them.  I will admit that I forgot to get the bad screenshots just because I was having so much fun BUT I will say I did 3/18 and 6/17 at two points tonight while playing.  Those are usually how I do.  Pretty fucking bad.  


Sucking at a game sucks, even if you enjoy it.  You can't always log off happy and sometimes (or a lot of the time) you rage mid game and say, "FUCK THIS SHIT," and proceed to throw the controller and turn off your Xbox in a whirlwind of hatred and agony.  It happens and most gamers relate.  Anyway, moral is keep going and on the days you give no shits, have a good bunch of friends, and can enjoy the good parts of the game then let that be the time you get better and enjoy it.  Or ya know... just play often.  You'll eventually start catching up!


I hope you enjoyed this read, IF you did feel free to follow this blog for more shit about my life and all that jazz <3!
