Sinful Sunday: cheating

I don´t like to admit this but when it comes to playing with friends I can sometimes use some cheap tricks to win, for example grab his or her controller and throw it away from my friend that sits next to me on the couch. Another favourite of mine is to give wrong information about the controls, which means they´re pressing the wrong buttons and often lose because they have no idea how to control their character.


It´s quite innocent though, especially because it´s something I do among friends which makes it not that bad in my opinion. Of course my friends might think differently about that but sometimes you just do things, especially when it comes to winning I can be quite the scumbag to my friends. So why would anyone want to be friends with me? I ask myself the same question every now and then, but apparently I´m not as awful as I sometimes let others believe. But before you get all defensive about my poor friends let´s not forget that they use the same tricks on me, which is quite alright by me because that makes my cheap tricks a bit more legal in my eyes.


The big different between me and cheaters online is that I use these cheap tricks against friends, people that sit with me on the couch or with whom I play in a private match. I don´t bring cheats into online multiplayer with strangers or anyone else actually, because I think that´s just cheap and not really something I respect. I like to win and when I face my friends in a game then I´ll do whatever it takes to win. But when I play against strangers or in any online multiplayer match then it´s back to being the good guy and not doing anything illegal.


Sometimes my cheap tricks result in frustration, but I try not to make my friends angry. For me it´s just a game, when I taunt or use some cheap tricks. As much as I hate to lose I can take it, hell it will probably motivate me a lot for the next match! I don´t recommend cheating, as much as it might give you victories against other people it´s not nice and definately not tolerated by others. What you do against your friends in private matches is your business, I think we can all agree about that, but in online multiplayer we all have to stick to the rules and just keep it clean!

Button bashing

It seems that more and more games want you to smash on the buttons of the controller, which seems like fun but knowing that this weak piece of plastic can´t handle much it´s not the smartest way to handle your controller. In the good old arcade days I could smash on buttons, ok nothing too crazy but at least those machines had a lot more resilience than these weak controllers we have now. You have to pay a small fortune for one of them and they fall apart with the slightest bit of force you use. After smashing a couple of controllers out of frustration I learned to be careful with them, but when games force you to be an agressive button basher it doesn´t really help. Button bashing is nothing new but I do seem to see it in more and more games, even games that could easily do without this abusive way of treating your controller. Instead of button bashing people came up with the idea to press a certain series of buttons in a sequence, I first saw this in God of War which was fun. But s...

Movie Monday: Mr & Mrs Smith

There are movie that might not look good at first, when you hear about it, but once you see the movie then you know that it's a fantastic movie. What really made Mr & Mrs Smith so good was the acting of the two main stars in the movie, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. They had so much fun making this movie that it's an absolute joy to watch the movie. Which is good news for people that are looking for a fun movie to watch! Married to a spy? The story of Mr & Mrs Smith is pretty simple, a man is a spy and marries to a woman not knowing that she's a spy too. Apparently both of them are unaware of eachothers activities until their paths cross in their spy life, which leads to a lot of fighting and explosions. It's really not the action that makes this movie so much fun to watch but it's the humour. Mr & Mrs Smith is the type of movie that shows that a movie can be ten times better when the actors are actually enjoying themselves making this movie, instead ...

Sinful Sunday: Why are you so serious?

When I play a game I don't want to be serious, I just want to have fun and relax. Honestly real life is serious enough and I don't need that in games. Who cares who wins or who loses, just have fun and that already makes it great! Unfortunately there are gamers that take certain games way too serious, so serious that they literally forget to have fun which is quite frustrating to deal with. These kind of players are so serious that they probably left the fun behind when they started the game. Sigh... Serious gamers are lame gamers? There is nothing wrong about being serious, but I think there is a time and a place for everything. When I play a game with my friends then I'm not being serious nor am I serious when I start up some random multiplayer match. Sure it's nice to win but it's not everything! Things become more serious when there is something at stake, for example in ranked matches or during a tournament. I understand that things are more serious there an...
