Sinful Sunday: When a match crashes...

Have you ever played a multiplayer match and then in the last couple of minutes suddenly out of nowhere the match crashes and you´re back in the game lobby? That sucks, especially when you´re in the winning team. To be honest with you, I´ve only seen this happening when I was in the winning team. I´ve been in teams where we would lose big time from others but then the match never seems to crash, but the moment the roles are reversed then the match crashes. Which makes me believe that this isn´t just an accident, people are behind this!


Ok I don´t want to sound like a loon that´s trying to convince of some weird conspiracy theory, no I´m just saying that sometimes when people rage quit they make the match crash. Often because they´re the host and the game can´t find another host quick enough and/or there aren´t enough people in the match. In both situations the match will often crash and you´re back in the game lobby, which is very lame if that happens when you´re so close to winning.


This seems to happen a lot in first person shooters, especially with (high) competition matches, so where there are k/d or w/l ratios that some people consider to be more important than life itself. People that rage quit but then somehow manage to make the match crash are scumbags, they ruin the fun of others by being a whiny little bitch! I understand frustration and it sucks when you lose, but to leave in the last couple of minutes is just stupid. What difference does one or two extra minutes make? You could use that time to at least increase your own k/d ratio or just try to help your team as best as you can.


Lately I´ve seen this happen a lot in Titanfall, especially in capture the flag matches. Which makes winning fifty times even more challenging! It really sucks that there is nothing you can do about this and the game doesn´t seem to have a fail safe to make certain that the match doesn´t crash. But I guess it´s some players that cause this with their behaviour, if people could just stay in the match till the end then that would be perfect. Unfortunately we don´t live in a perfect world, so it seems we´ll need that fail safe in games to make certain matches don´t crash the moment the host leaves or if a certain number of people leave. Maybe it´s also a good idea to give a time penalty to people that rage quit, that should keep people in matches a bit longer. Eventhough Black Ops 2 tried this and decided not to use that anymore after a lot of complaints! So how about we all just stay in a match until it´s done, wether you win or lose let´s just try to keep it civilized!

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...
