The Worst Advice We've Ever Heard About Gaming

"You really should cut back..." "You should go outside and..." "Those are not a real people, you don't know them" "When I was in your age..." "Just stop it you can play later"

Did any of that sound familiar at all?

Well I believe that most gamers or who spends time in internet (forums etc.) have heard all of those and more. Most of us understand that some of us don't like that technology has creeped in our everyday life and now we make friends with people we don't have meet eye-to-eye. That is nothing new in my books NO, before internet and all that was/is "pen pal system" (kirjekaveri) and it was snail mail inside your own country and sometimes even FOREIGNER in far away country! Who did tell them that they are not real or who they blamed to be?

When someone says that you should cut back or go out I just don't understand how it is your business what I do. If you are under 18 and live at home then I can understand somewhat that your parents or whoever looks after you will give you advice to put our nose out of the front door one a day or at least ones at weekend.
But if you are living our own place make a living (not living with social security) or trying really find a job then if it do not reflect poorly on your work go for it! Some people workout like crazy and if it is not 24/7 they are told to keep it up! "It's good for you!" Until the limit...

Sometimes we like play +24 hours and more but it is not like we do it everyday or even every month! When there is new awesome game yeah we play or watch someone else play, what's the problem? If you are adult you can smoke, drink, take drugs (watch out for COPS!), film yourself having sex with sandwich or play games! And other can just keep on nagging about it!

When I was in your age...yes you did got to river fishing now if I'm not fishing using a rod and line I have to pay for licence before hand so even if I don't get anything I still pay for it 7€/7 days + 3€ interchange fee if I did look right! Even that licence is localized! So I go to other county another 7€ + 3€ interchange fee.
When I listen my uncles stories what they did and how many fights and accident they did go through before age 18 I'm stunned that someone wants todays children do the same?! Broken bones, bloody nose and broken things (bikes, cars, motorbikes etc.).

Pre-Teen/Teen I did read and spended time forums etc and nowadays I play, read and go to have fun adult style and have never broken a bone! Well my knees has been operated because m.bike accident but that was 2007, and I was 16! I even heard that some young ones don't hang around town smoking and drinking because they go some friends house and play games. Or in case I heard boys friend did come to his house (parents were there) and night did go down with some Mountain Dew and Coke.


When playing games online means basically that you play PvP [Player(s) vs Player(s)] or PvE [Player(s) vs Environment] games. But when online there are other players that you have to take account of. So when someone says that just drop your game even after you have said that " yes after this game, raid etc.". Would I walk to you and even if you are middle of something and you would tell me that " just wait a minute, I will come when I'm ready" and I would still demand you to come RIGHT NOW!
I will not let my team down and get bad reputation to me just to go eat on this minute. With Xbox players can put you on avoid list and reason can be that did not finish games. PC is not so hard but if your reputation is bad enough  word will go around! When you join lobby *kick*, in-game *kick* and so on. Right now there is going on CS:GO (Counter-Strike: Global Offensive) and LoL (League of Legends) tournaments and those player don't just drop game or have in a past.  Most games don't take more than 30-45min per game online.

They are not real people! You don't know them! Are they real? Why are they talking? Thats so weird. When you meet other people online you should not believe everything they tell or show you. We all have learned that over years. Everyone online are Greek gods, have Double-D breast, funny, flirty or best of the best...In real life they may be non of that! Most fabulous flirter can't get word out of it's mouth when online this one writes your socks off :D
Well yeah I may not know what they do for job or what they look like but they are someone I learn to trust on hard place, who I can ask advice or just tell what is wrong. Well some live streamers in Twitch.com (gameplay sharing service) has webcam and you can see them as they play. It's kind of nice to see reactions and really feel that they are there! But some who don't have cam keeps keen eye on chat and even with Twitch lag (30SEK!) and feeling is still there. Very different feeling than to watch gameplay videos in YouTube you know.
I know how FooZ looks like and that he is from Netherland and is student has 2 job but some problems with manager in 2nd place. I don't know what StratManiac look like but I have seen his dog :D, know that he is from London, I know he's first name and what he sounds like. Moko is from Australia and is MASTER in Payday 2 stealth HE IS NOT HUMAN! and so on... I know more about these people than some so called friends or distant family.

But yeah, those are some most annoying advices that I have gotten on my time. What about you is there some more? What are they?! Drop comment and we will see what you think.

TA-TA

just remember that you are HUMAN! or in Mokos case a MACHINE!

Mama I’m going crazy!

Oh dear this old propaganda against violence! I totally agree with YouTube comments like

"It's the parents responsibility to teach their kids right from wrong. NOT game makers, not the internet. the PARENTS" -Lee Williams

This "news" make me think why would young child go looking for torture game? online or anywhere? why? there is blocking softwares and parental control ect. how to control if you don't know how teach you child. Well most likely same parent let their 7-10 year old child log to Facebook and say it's okay if needed I know He/Her's password....SO! The age limits are there for reason! In games, movies, forums and web pages. Well it is up to parent how well limits are in place. I did start play M-rated games when I was 16? but horror movies and series started mature age of 10 or something.

 

If you are mentally ok you don't go crazy or nuts while playing shooter games or watching horror movies, because you understand line between fiction and reality (at least I hope so!). If someone is mentally unstable or even ill that click can come from normal life, they don't need the "violent entertainment".

Me my self play shooters and I don't feel like shooting or other ways harm anyone! Seriously 60% my games are different kind of shooter 1st or 3rd person and some RPG top of that...I should be mass murderer! I feel more out of control while playing Forza 4 or  sport game! don't let me start about Kinect...sometimes you know -_-'

PS. I love Horror movies! First my own horror/K18 (M-rated) was Deep Blue Sea not really horror but yeah. Then there was Virus and  slowly but steady my horror collection is +35 DVD and little something on my hard-drive. Horror movies teach you, you know. Hostel 1&2 teaches if something sounds too good IT IS! and don't leave you group, if something "smell" get to consulate or call police! Other ones teaches lock doors and windows, don't talk to strangers or trust them right away, be polite, know where you going and tell where you going ect.!

There is no study about violence and game's that was tested neutrally not that there is something right! I mean you get confession with torture right? But it don't mean it's true!  There is some studys that gamers brain act little different from some others but we don't understand really how brains work but it looks good when pointed that "This is how different gamers brains work! Look how bright these spot are! We quest that violence lives in there". I trust you, just like people did belive that Earth is center of the universe and that other planet and sun goes around it not that we all spin around the sun!

When they talks about video game retail sales are $17.94 billion (2007) when video games started climb up, Penn & Teller Bullshit episode about video game violence told that violence did turn DOWN not up like some people are trying to prove with young people at least.

I belive that real life  is more raw than some of the games. Put gangs, army, war or just bad neighbourhood in mix and most of people see more "violence" there in real life! than that awful looking "torture game" made in  South Africa.

Now excuse me I'm gonna play little Left 4 Dead 2 or maybe Blacklight: Retribution if it's ready =D

 

Mass Effect 3

Long time no see, long time no BBC! *Sorry just saying from TV* 

Most of people have heard of Mass Effect games yeah? So it’s a trilogy. We got the last part in 1 ½ moth ago. The ending sucks more that Twilight! I just can’t stand Bella and Tm Edward or Jacob? So no more campaign (sp) mode to me but they did make multiplayer (mp) mode. Right now I have 170 hours ME3 in my Raptr but sp was just little over 60 (15h just running around and other stuff). So our dear buggy mp has taken 100h my life! Too many times connection fails in wave 10 and console freeze when there is 15 sec to play in SILVER!  Sorry so MP has 3 difficulty levels: bronze (easy), silver (normal), gold (hard). 

When I speak about N7 and Lv they are just things that tell how much you have played. Lv is character level it goes from 1 to 20 and when maxed you can promote it to sp when you get more points in there and you start from lv 1 again in mp. N7 is permanent it tell's how many mp match you have completed! If your connection fale or console freeze you dont get +1 but if your team don't survive 10 wave + extraction you get it. I lost about 15 N7 ranks and last week some reason my rank did not update. 

You can see your N7 rating vs. you frends, country and global!  Right now my rank is 237 and my rank are: 19, 171 and 57210. Well Global rank 1 is vvBlessedvv with N7 rating 4716! these are to looked from Xbox 360.

ME3 multiplayer is surviving with you team so there is personal how much points you get but it don’t matter. This is team mp! So everyone gets same XP and credits of game. Personal game score is just there that people can say they were the BEST! It is funny because it’s really about team work! Not so much “I” or “my” in it just survive and keep others back.  If you don’t play as a team the job to finish you game will be much harder! Microphone and communication are golden if not in bronze then in silver and REALLY important in gold! Only down side is when people don’t know how use Kinect as a mic! I do and I use headphones so other players don’t hear my game in their end =D

Today some N7 25 Battlefield solder Lv 3 started to complain that I steal his kills… If he did all the ‘work’ he will get bigger points than me! Right? So me (N7 237 Lv 5 solder) and 2 others (N7 +70 and +200) stayed together and this one war hero stayed in own side of map. In wave 8 he’s dead…still other side of the map! He did not survive against geth alone so good…but least no one did take he’s kills! 

Well after that game was over I left and started play other match and did not have any problem! 

Now I'm gonna make my self big hot cup of tea and add some sugar, lemon, mint and Jack Daniels! it is allready 2.45 pm in Finland!

I will add pictures later some reason this thing just loads and loads picture window...10min so I just give up and do it later XD

So Gooooood feeeeeling! We all where playing whole time =D started with 4 but that ass did quite in wave 3 or 4!
