Changes lie ahead…… Not just in this post, but all over.

I’ve gone solo officially now and left my clan. Hence the officially bit. Burnt out from gaming, and TF2 in particular. Supposedly a lot of people have been getting burnt out from TF2 in the past few weeks, prompting them to stop playing. I can see why, playing a game too much can make it dull, or in my case, my pc is pretty useless once it reaches the 12 v 12 point in any server I play in. Graphically it turns rubbish anyway, loss of FPS etc. Time to get a job and start saving up money for a new one then…or just save up for Christmas.

Other changes? I’m starting to become less cynical and emo-like, and more a decent person. That’s a story for another time though.

Now, changes in the world of (Pc) Gaming. Umm, Left4Dead is coming out soon? So I’m willing to bet all those burnt out people(including me) will probaly be game junkies again cos of that. I don’t see any other changes really cos I still see NERF DEMO NOW and CRY SOME MOAAR! threads in the TF2 forum in the Steam forums…wait, it’s the TF2 forum in the Steam forum. Alright, it used to be NERF PYRO NOW!!!!, so that’s some change I suppose.

What other news is there outside of gaming? Well, my room is really really cold, I burnt my finger today, oh, and I’m considering starting a small sub series of short stories in the style of blog posts here, and the 1st one would be called “To catch a serial troll.” All relating to gaming in some way or the other of course. It’s work in progress. Expect one some time in a few weeks once I finish all the important stuff in my life at the moment (finding a part time job etc).

Ceya’s.

Yeah I’m back already.

So, I just went and read Crushed’s first blog. Not bad man, not bad.

Anyways, something in his post got me thinking, and it was that thing about what you think of FPS Games?

Honestly? Well, I’ve actually got a list of what I think of them, and some things that always turn up in some way… usually on the back of the gamebox.

“Amazing hi-def, never before seen environments” Basically,this means in ‘devtalk’, yep it’s got a lava level… but in high def and it looks really real!

There’s always some level in a FPS, that you’ll hate, which when you complete the game, you’ll then strive to either rush through or just skip it entirely just to avoid it. I’d say nearly every single single-player game is guilty of this. In the case of multiplayer, you’ll usually find that only a few, hardcore servers will have those maps on. Well, okay, the servers might have just started… alright, next bit.

“The sequel to the smash hit” Well,okay, this can usually mean nothing as for all we know, this sequel could be the successor to Super Turbo Pig Racer 9000. Actually that sounds quite cool.

“From the people who brought you…” Mick the tea boy was in the team who made the last one. Err, does that count?

Now, onto other stuff. The types of FPS Games.

The graphic massacre maniac- Oh c’mon,you know what I mean.The games that result in steam litereally appearing off your pc,and results in the graphics card going on fire.

The grey monsters- By this I mean the games that basically appear to have settings consisting of the colour grey,oh,and a bit of brown and occasionally blood. If it can stand the excitement. This seems to apply to a lot of games set in the future for some reason.

The revolutions-The ones that catch you off your cynical guard and make you go “woah, now that’s unique”. For example, Doom…… back when it first came out that is.

The copycats- Unfortunately a lot of games can be put in this group.

The oddballs- The games that are so crazy that you cant follow them with any logic. Killer7 is a fine example of this.

The ugly kids- Err, bad name I guess, but usually you get games that come out that, how can I put this nicely… don’t look attractive. That’s the nice way of putting it. The other way is this, “Hey, uhh, is it just me or does this game look like it was hit by a truck?”

The rest- which I’m too lazy to put here.

Laters folks

So…This may bore you but, I have broken my finger and it is hard for me to type on my laptop, to be honest it is actually quite funny watching my fingers struggle to hit the correct keys to make up for the finger that can’t type.

But when you come to think of all the things in every day life you use your hands for its rather annoying when you know you won’t be able to do it.

Anyway I have found out that it is a distinct disadvantage when you are surrounded by lots of people on the opposing team, and I cannot press shoot without screaming out in agony because I have just hit my finger on the side of my laptop.

Now, if you break a leg, you can lay in bed all day owning on TF2 or CSS and get better and better, good times. If you break your arm this dampens your spirits because you think you are getting worse at a game, and all that happens is, you get frustrated with yourself and your arm will hurt, bad times.

So, if any of you guys have an interesting story of you breaking any bones, I’ll be interested to read them…

Uhh…so, a post about a clan winning a sponsorship… how to make that sound exciting… okay I have no clue at all.

Oh wait, I have a idea.

WOOHOO -=MD=- WON!!!!!!!  I JUST LOVE USING CAPS FOR STUFF LIKE THIS! DOES THIS MAKE IT SOUND  EXCITING?

No. If it did though, that’d be epic.

Anyway, new stuff apart from that. Let’s see, I have a mobile phone now and don’t know how to use it. Im So proud of myself. What else in the (great, uber leet, perfect) life of knifer21? (yeah I was kidding about it being perfect, it’s more just normal)

Well, it’s now an official fact I’m one of the worst players in TF2 now(and I’m a TF2 squad leader as well, oh brill, I feel sorry for the people under my command now. Ah well, sucks to be them.) Let’s see, my bad points in TF2: Quiet, backstabbing fiend (or a spy, only less French), not good at giving orders, don’t like telling people what classes they should pick, oh and I’m Scottish*. That alone outweighs all my good points.

Good points: I have a cool name.

Next blog post will probably be something daft, or it’ll be a blog post by another blogger. I hope the latter. Laters folks.

*Yeah I’m just messing around here. Scottish is actually a really really good point to have of course

Been thinking about this for a wee while.

If you’ve been around the internet for longer than a day, no doubt you’ve at least heard of forums, if not joined them. They are the places where you can go chat to people all over the world about stuff……… or in the case of 4chan, chat to people and make up memes and other stuff……. less said of the /b section the better.

So, where was I, oh yeah, forums…….. Now, I’ve been around the internet long enough and a few forums to pick up a…….. 6th sense if you will, in that I can sense that soon something is gonna change. And probably not for the better.

…read full article…

Simple title I know,but it’s something that sprang to mind when I was writing up a journal entry in my clan’s forums.

If you’re reading this,chances are you’re in a clan aye? Ever wonder about how it started sometimes?

I know how my clan started, sure, but what I’m thinking about about is what the very first gaming clan must have been,and when it began, because for some reason, I always imagine a group of people at a arcade machine, playing Pac Man probably, then one of them thinking suddenly, “Y’know, we could play this game against other groups! And have tournaments and stuff!”

Mind you, I can also imagine how the clan matches against other clans would have went…

Whoever gets the most points without dying once wins the round! God, that could drag on for hours…rather much like infantry only matches can on certain maps of Battlefield 2142, ( Shia Tubia I’m looking at you, you life-sapping fiend!)

So, have a think about that,
it’s food for thought if you’ve nothing better to do
