Some people like having their persistent bars go up, some like playing with limitations, whatever the case I'm sure you realize one universal truth prevails. Playin' to win ain't wrong.

"Playing to win" has nothing to do with whether an individual believes a tactic is cheap or not.
I'm an only child and I still grew up more pro than half y'all.
League of Legends will not start for some reason. See this poop:
Explain Gazza. Explain this shit. Still better than Halo 4.
ok.

An only child with a Star Wars avatar is shocking.

I camo/snipe. All day. Its in the game anyone can do it. If you see it as cheap and create some moral high ground for yourself thats your own problem.
Halo honor, you guys are crazy.

Id buy it for the Campaign
Halo 2 >>> 3
Crazy shit. Ill stop playing games before i start buying them in gamestop. They are cunts.
Have Halo Anniversary on now, the menu music has been playing for around 15 minutes. So fucking good.
"Winning" based on a score is the only objective measure we can use though. "Fun" for one person is not the same as "fun" for another. For me personally, "fun" means competing in a balanced arena that rewards players proportional to their ability, decisions and actions. It means something completely different to other people.
We can't expect players to play solely based on our idea of "fun," because it's a subjective thing. When we enter a competitive setting, we should expect players to be competing for the only objective goal possible; winning. When developers try to bring "fun" into the competitive setting by adding uncompetitive components, its a futile effort that ultimately results in the game being less fun for most people.
I'm not saying everyone should only have fun by winning, but they should go into every game expecting the rest of the players to play to win. If winning isn't your definition of fun, thats fine, but don't get upset when other players play to win. Most people I've talked to don't care about getting beaten by tactics they view as "fair," but they do have a problem when they get beaten by tactics that are "unfair."
Am I saying they're wrong, that there are no cheap or unfair tactics? No, there are unfortunately plenty of tactics that are "cheap" or "unfair," meaning they disproportionately reward players for performing actions that require little skill or strategy. It's the developers job to create a more balanced environment because that will actually make the game more fun for everyone involved.
Like I've always said, more balanced = more fun for the majority of players.

Everything about that video was fucking terrible. On the mobile, too lazy to elaborate, but I don't really have to since it pretty much speaks for itself.
Well, it is Zero Punctuation.

That one is a parody/reference video from the old Pure Pwnage web series.

ZP's spoiler-free Spec Ops: The Line review was one of his best.
Dead serious, I mean was that supposed to be funny?

It's a part of a complete episode of a live action series. The whole series parodies hardcore "uber" gamers. That video parodies Zero Punctuation because Yahtzee is basically obsessed with single player games and story, etc while Pure Pwnage follows ultra competitive stereotyped gamers. They even made fun of how poor their fake accent was and a bunch of other stuff.

Disagree, I do enjoy Yahtzee in small doses and when he stays away from talking about anything multiplayer related. This was just a terrible knock off without any of the wit or intelligence throwing out shit like "ghey." And what the fuck was that faux accent? Truly awful.
It was just 75% off this past Mid-Week Madness!

Guys... It was supposed to be all those things. They even made reference to that accent in the damn video. The guys on Pure Pwnage are disillusioned thinking they are the best ever and the be-all-end-all of gamers. Guys...

Yes, I got that. But it's bad, not funny, and unoriginal. I understand the intent, that doesn't give it a free pass to be shit.

If you have any of the following words/letters in your gamertag, I automatically think negatively of you:
- Any variation of the word "snipe", including SnIpE, SnipE, Sn1pe, Sn1p3, etc.
- Anything consisting of multiple x's before or after your gamertag, i.e. xXx -- XxX
- Anything involving a lowercase "i" before a noun or verb, i.e. iQuickscope
- Anything involving alternating capital letters (exception to this rule: CyReN)
- Anything including the words "MLG"
- Anything referring to weed and other illegal drugs
- Including the numbers "69" or "420"
- Including the words "YOLO", "swag", or "pwn"
Think that covers the basis.

And if your name or callsign is more than two syllables to shout out, I'm not gonna use it. One syllable is best.
Yeah, fuck that pure pwnage video - that right there is how you do parody.

Is this a real question?
i saw kenanNkel420 while playing a game of Narrows years ago. I will also always remember Garlicbread FTW because really who disagrees with that gamertag
personally I'm pretty fond of my Tom Taylors GED halo 3 alt. also neighbors dad. also booties jr. I think our old ron paul joke gamertags were the best though. one of my friends had some variation on "gold 420 standard". booties remembers. shit was good.
