Sinful Sunday: Attention needed!

These days it feels like people have a strong need for attention, wether that's on Twitter or Facebook or whatever form of social media someone would use these days. It's just such a large call for attention, look at me and like my stuff! I don't know about you but this makes me sad, especially when you see someone desperate and not getting the attention he or she wants.


Why do people want attention?


Well we all need some love and attention and I think at one point in your life you get that or have gotten that. I'm not saying that you need it to survive, eventhough some people make it look that way, but it's a comfort that makes your life more pleasant. For example when you have a dog you don't need to pet him or her, you can ignore the dog and go on with your life. The dog won't die of a broken heart but he or she will be unhappy, it's also cruel to do such a thing! But then there are people out there that do exactly the same thing.


The price of attention?


I've seen people do ridiculous or dangerous things just to get noticed or get those much wanted likes. Some jump off a building, then there are some that are obnoxious towards others hoping for a response and then you have those that summon a spirit. You might think this is crazy but it's what people do, all for the views and likes. But being an asshole towards others might cost you your friends and getting mixed into the occult isn't something you want to do especially when you're sensitive towards these type of things. Putting yourself at risk for views and likes is just stupid and I'm actually surprised that so many people do these type of things. It's like we have a new generation of stupid, but hey at least people like it!


Does it really matter?


No not really, I mean sure it's nice to get some attention but hopefully for the right reasons. For example your birthday, you graduated, you got your drivers license or you're getting married. Those are all good reasons to get attention and it's not a bad thing that you ask for a bit of attention if something good happens to you. But too much of something is a bad thing and you don't want to be the daily douchebag that wants attention online with nonsense. But it's not the people that ask for attention that are the worst, it's the people that give them this attention that are the worst!

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...

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...

Mortal Kombat X isn´t just another fighting game?

You´ve probably seen the announce trailer of Mortal Kombat X, then you probably also know that it shows two familiar characters fighting against eachother. At that point you´re probably still thinking that it´s just more of the same but with a better coat of paint, I understand that pessimist look and it´s not often wrong. But from what I´ve heard about Mortal Kombat X is that it´s going to be more than just a new game in the Mortal Kombat game series. What´s new? Apparently there will be more fighting styles for one character, giving everyone his or her own favourite style to use against opponents. There was something familiar in another Mortal Kombat game where they also had weapons in a fighting style, but this seems to go a bit deeper and more unique. Of course these are just words at this point, nothing has been proven just yet! But this would make it more fun to play against other people and see who masters the ultimate style, but I´m certain that there is a counter style f...
