Sinful Sunday: Making deals

No I don´t mean making deals with the devil, I wouldn´t go that far. I´m talking about gamers that make deals before going into a multiplayer match, often trying to get achievements/trophies without actually earning them but just getting them from others if you agree to do the same for the other person. This might seem innocent but when you think there are people who actually earn that and then these people just got it like that then I can´t help but feel injustice.


You´ll often find people like this in deathmatch or team deathmatch, unless the achievement/trophy has to be earned in another mode. Maybe you still think that there is no harm in this, but seriously this is a cheap way to get achievements/trophies and most people that actually earned that achievement/trophy will probably not respect anyone that gets it by making deals with other people. If you need to make ten headshots then make ten headshots, if you need people to stand still and look at you to make a headshot then maybe you´re playing the wrong game. Besides practice makes perfect, but no some people are lazy scumbags that have to get everything and would do anything to get them.


You probably know this way of playing better as boosting, something that isn´t considered as acceptable by most people. Does that make it wrong? I think so, but then again right and wrong are sometimes not that easy to determine and what one person accepts another can´t accept. But when you enter a match with only your friends to get easy achievements/trophies or to boost your experience then I can´t help but think this is cheating, because you don´t play fair! There is nothing wrong with playing with your friends, but if you do it in such a way to get easy experience or achievements/trophies then I think it´s wrong!


I´ve gotten invites for parties to boost on Xboxlive, but I always ignore people like that. I don´t go so far to report them, I mean if someone does that then so be it. But I would never participate in something like that, if I earn an achievement like that then it would be one that is stained and I could never really accept that. Maybe it sounds stupid but I want to earn my achievements, if I got it in a way that I consider as cheating then I can´t accept it!

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...
