Hackers!

This is not a rant about hackers but a rant about how i am getting sick and tired of people these days calling hacks on anyone and everyone. This crap is getting annoying and just makes the person calling someone a hacker look stupid.

Yes there are hackers out there but not as many as people think there is. If someone shoots your in a FPS and you do not know how you died then i would suggest not calling hacks. Unless you are first person speccing a individual then you can start but prepare to back it up instead of just saying he hacks cause he killed you.

Numerous times people will call someone a hacker just because he catches some good luck and is just in the right position at the right time, or else they are camping. Just waiting for the people to come after him and they are only watching a select area.

If you also are getting destroyed and calling someone a hacker just do everyone a favor especially to yourself and leave the game and find a new server to join. If every server you are joining has a "hacker" in it i suggest enabling punkbuster or joining a server that has anti hack systems enabled. If you run into "hackers" daily then i do not think they are hacking but that you are just a spazz calling individuals hackers for being better than you.

Modern Warfare 3 Social Integration

Now lately i am finding games lacking in certain aspects be it advertisement, multiplayer maps or even just the game not feeling right. Often the maps are just way to small like in modern warfare 2 or the maps are to big like in battlefield 2. Least on battlefield 2 you can control your server size to fit the map. Games are starting to take away focus on important aspects and targeting them towards wastes of time that should not even be talked about.

If you haven't by chance heard Modern Warfare 3 is bringing out facebook integration into its game. Now i know there are others like me out there who are not a fan of facebook but are merely using it because others are using it. To me this is the biggest waste of time to even code a game to allow. Instead of using friends lists that all past games have used or other features you are going to be able to use facebook to do private matches with.

Facebook should not be connected to games. This is just another example of developers taking the wrong directions with games and not being in touch with what games really need. If Everquest 1 can make it big with the lead developer being on a massive cocaine binge then why can't these games just focus on the game play and maps instead of useless addons.

Gamers

I have no idea how i am going to start the blog off so i figured i would just start talking and see how it all comes together. I have been a gamer for most of my life and have found some interesting things out about the video games we play online to the players we play with.

This blog is mainly about that to talk about and bring memories of events that have happened in video games that you can't believe happened to just random events that made you shake your head. If you play video games you probably agree with the statement that people are more ruthless online than in person. Behind a screen people have a username to keep there identity a secret so people's true character comes out when ninja looting takes place or when drama happens which tends to happen in every game.

People say they hate drama but it is everywhere. I have seen guilds in Everquest 2 be destroyed because the guild leader and his wife met with their guild mates in Vegas and while the guild leader was sleeping the wife was off with the main tank and other members. On YouTube if you search "Serenity Now" a World of Warcraft guild goes to a zone where a funeral is taking place and kills off everyone that was attending.

These games take us to our limits sometimes, if you have played Everquest 1 you would remember the camp times for items in that game. People used to get furious, would threaten your life and your family because you may have killed a mob that they wanted or even worse if you beat them to a raid mob before them.

So i guess we will see how this blog goes and if people even read it, i hope though that people share there stories most importantly.
