So despite my rage at War of the Roses, now my mates and I have learned acceptance, we now run around in light armour stabbing heavies in the back and chasing down defenceless archers and generally avoiding direct confrontation. It's the cowards way, but it works and is very funny

I have gotten the hang of Bad Company 2 finally so getting positive K/Ds and plenty of contribution to the team/squad and even get called a hacker from time to time due to some of the sniping shots I do (such as when you can only see someone's foot, and you hit it and kill them )

I am now trying to figure out how to update my Battlefield 3 without having to download the 20gb or so of updates... might have to get a mate to copy me the files or something. Then I'll try and get into that in preparation for BF4 and BC3 when they come out.

I have recently watched season 1 and 2 of ADVENTURE TIIIIIME!!!

I love that show

Full of classic moments like this: Link

**** YOU PARADOX INTERACTIVE

I really, really liked War of the Roses when it came out.

Finally a multiplayer game I could get the hang of and play with my mates (I'm hopeless at FPS).

The combat was fair, almost everything was balanced, a few tweaks and it could have been perfect.

Now after about the 100th update it is an unrecognisable steaming pile of horse****.

- Oh an update... damn, my favourite weapon has been nerfed.
- Hmm I'll try this other weapon and adapt my style.
- Many non-fun games and deaths later I get the hang of it again.
- Resume game enjoyment.
- Oh an update... damn, my favourite weapon has been nerfed....

Over and over again.

Well **** that, they can stick their new swords up their asses.

To top it all off, the plentiful in game coin you could earn to buy cool customisations can now be purchased with real money, so you guessed it, everything is more expensive, and the rate you generate coin is slower. This also means new weapons are hard to come by, so if your favourite weapon is nerfed, getting a replacement is that much harder.

Greedy slimy pricks, lucky they're based overseas or I'd be at their HQ right now strangling a refund out of some poor idiot.

/rant over

Hope you're all having a good day

I need to quit

Online gaming that is

Mainly because of all the noobs. They really need a super strict ban system for games, and moderators to monitor in-game chat with a way to report people to get their attention. I have the right to enjoy what I paid for without some arsehole ruining it with immature T-bagging and insults written in the worst English I have seen anywhere.

After a long stressful day at work I just need to chill, not deal with bull****. I don't hack, I don't insult people, I don't do anything to provoke but play the game. It's simply insane. How are people raised to be such pricks? It's mind boggling.

Anyway I think I'll stick to Skyrim and other single player epics in the future, I really enjoy those.

So I go get a cheeseburger and drink from the fridge

Then I think "actually I am not thirsty" and put the drink back

I walk miles down the other side of the house and eat the burger

Then think "Wish I had a drink to wash that down"

In other news I have stopped playing Planetside 2 as have all my friends

While it was fun to start with, it is insanely repetitive.

But apparently they will be releasing new stuff soon so we'll see.

I've played through the Dawnguard expansion on Skyrim too which was awesome, although the characters were pretty boring, and the 'vampire lord' a piece of cake... I also found the Soul Cairn boring as hell (see what I did there?) so I guess it was awesome for the armour and crossbows?

I downloaded Oblivion + expansions the other day and have started playing it, it seems cool but I am having a hard time with the lock picking I'm pretty tempted to cheat... plus the way the character moves when in 3rd person view is a little odd, so that takes some of the fun out of combat, but we'll see how it goes

I am also playing a lot of Bad Company 2 with a couple of mates, it seems to be a lot more fun than BF3 for some reason, plus I'm not doing too badly considering my ineptitude for FPS games

I do get frustrated on hardcore mode though as all the advantage seems to be with snipers which is not my cup of tea :/

But thankfully the main guy I play with is rather good at sniping (good enough to get called a hacker frequently) so that's a bonus

I have decided to spend a lot more time gaming and also cull some 'friends' from my life who were pretty bad for me so hopefully you'll see me on here more posting and stuff

Hope everyone's having a good start to the year and remember, it's a cold world out there, wear mittens!

PS I love you

Planetside 2, that is

Been derping around on it today having a blast

They really need to turn off team killing though, I was minding my own business capping a base when a dip**** 'team mate' got bored and decided to kill me. (If anyone plays this and sees a NC (blue) player called KimiDealer please kill them and teabag them)

But otherwise I've been having a blast

Outside of my gaming life things are ok. My work is 'restructuring' so we're going to have to reapply for our jobs... only there will be less jobs, so 18 people going for 11 positions, great!

I'm going to find out what happens if you don't reapply, might be able to get redundancy which would be a nice payout (enough for a deposit on a house) and I can look for a better job.

Funny thing is they tell us they want us to all 'up skill' and do more training etc but what they have done instead is take away our trainer and hired contractors who have those skills... and they're not going to increase our pay when they reduce our numbers/increase our work... they are going to lose a lot more staff than they bargained for I think.

Typical government department though, time to go private sector

I'll be working through Christmas and on Christmas day it turns out I'll be all alone for once lol mates all have plans and parents are going into town for dinner/overnight so I wont even see them after work Christmas day it'll just be me and the cat, might cook her something nice

That's about it at the moment not really sure what else to blog about it's kind of been a bit dull lately so the blog isn't as good as it could be but nevermind we'll see how it goes next time

Piece out!
