Sinful Sunday: I hate friend suggestions!

Whenever I go online on Xboxlive I get friend suggestions, often these are people with already hundreds of friends and they publish some popular videos. When I look at all the friend suggestions then I notice that most of these people make popular videos. I personally hate this because these aren't people I'm interested of being friends with, because they probably want to get as many likes on their videos and have as many friends in their friends list. I don't really see why I would want to be friends with someone like that.


Xboxlive friend suggestions are stupid?


Most of them are stupid, because you don't get in touch with people that have about the same amount of friends like you and play a lot of games you also play. No you get people that have some popular videos and so they are highlighted for that instead of people you would actually like and want to play games with. I don't hate these people, but I just hate the fact that it's always the same people that show up in friend suggestions, always these people with their popular videos and that already have a lot of friends. Where are the people that don't have a lot of friends and also want to find other people like them? These people are lost in the ocean of gamers online and have probably a hard time finding a group of friendly gamers to play games with. These days that's actually pretty useful because a lot of games become easier and more fun when you play with friends!


Are there no other suggestions?


Sometimes I also see friends of friends in the friend suggestions, which is an improvement compared to the random popular video maker. Maybe that could work out and maybe this friend of a friend is a person that also has a lot of friends, which kind of makes you wonder if you want to be number 345 on his or her list of friends. I'm not saying that it's wrong to have a lot of friends, but I am saying that not everyone is looking for that or wants to be friends with someone that probably hardly ever has time to play games with you because he or she is almost always busy playing games with other people. I mean what's the point of being friends with someone if you can't play games together? If I liked that I would've probably kept half of the people on my friends list.


So what kind of friend suggestions would you like?


I would like to see more people in the friend suggestions that don't have a lot of friends and actually want to play games with you and not just be friends so they have another friend in their list of friends. It really works out if you're around the same age and of course play the same games or at least have some of the same games in your game history, because if you don't have the same games then playing games together becomes a bit more difficult! I don't really care where people come from or if they're a man or a woman, it's about having fun playing games together. I think that's the most important part!

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...
