Sinful Sunday: Male or female?

There was a time and a place I expected every character in a mmorpg was controlled by a guy, mostly because I didn't think women would play games. Now I know that there are women that play games, but that doesn't take away the fact that there are still a lot of guys out there that still play as female characters. It probably won't surprise you that most of these guys have excuses why they play as a female character, but does it really matter? That depends...


Men pretending to be women online.


This is something I don't find acceptable, when men pretend to be women online and then act like a woman. Roleplaying is one thing, but being an annoying prick is something else. I saw a video on youtube of a guy that plays as a female character in a mmorpg and then chats up other guys, it seems funny but imagine when you just want to clear a dungeon or play in a team to do some missions. I doubt that you're interested in the bullshit of some guy pretending to be a girl. Oh sure it's just for fun but I wonder if that's the whole truth, because some guys always play as women in games and I find that a bit weird in a first person shooter where you can't even see your own character. What's annoying is that some guys think it's ok to play as a female character and then annoy other guys with their nonsense.


Men should play as male characters and women should play as female characters?


Oh no I'm not saying that, I mean if you like playing as a female character then who am I to say that you can't do that. What I'm saying is that it's annoying when guys pretend to be actually a woman online, which is something that also happens outside games on the internet. I doubt a lot of guys fall for that but it sucks when you thought you met a nice girl who turns out to be a guy playing a prank on you, that's actually a cruel joke and something you shouldn't do! I'm also not saying that as a guy you first have to mention to the team that you're not really a girl if you play as a female character, but if someone asks you can just give an honest answer. If someone has a problem with that then that's their problem, just keep it clean and honest.

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...
