Yes, that would do quite nicely indeed :P

Exactly the problem. You are supposed to learn not by playing, but watching online and reading online guides. You know, because finding out something in game is too much for a team, you gotta know everything beforehand. What fun, I get to read an owner's manual to play the game!

People really get frustrated if you have ignorance at something they know. Look at blind playthroughs, many individuals hate them and feel videos should only be done by pros that know how to execute the game perfectly. Unless you are up to par with people's expectations, they don't want you to play said games. This is pretty much true of every genre, Quakeworld probably has its collection of elitists that would tell me I am garbage because I don't know how to execute bunny hops perfectly, resulting in them trying to ban me from the server. Gamers in general are not that welcoming. I get competitive for sure and like trying to beat others, but I am not going to throw a tantrum because you are bringing down the team. It is all part of the fun. You know, I think this is one of the main reasons I have grown to hate most people, it feels like this is what your average person is like. Sure, they might just be the loudest, but I also feel they are the most numerous. If I let other people judge what I should and shouldn't do, I wouldn't be playing games at all. As it stands I am not a big fan of MMOs due to the control they have over being able to do end game content. When the jerks have entitlement and power, that is when things become annoying. I think that is one of the two main reasons I am Singleplayer oriented, the other of course being the fact that even vanilla servers use some sort of mod due to the vanilla engine being limiting. I like to play Quake as it was in 1996-7, not with some expanded functionality people added later to maintain servers.

Heh, as I said above, my mother was the one who supplied me with most of my games, which were downloaded using an old program that shut down in 2005. Around that time I lost the ability to get games, but our computer was weaker and so I could never play certain titles anyway. I remember Aliens Versus Predator being one of the titles my computer was too weak to play. I definitely got used to playing the same games over and over since I couldn't acquire anything else for several years. When I did get my chance to get new games, I instead went backwards to the 90s as I wanted to see the evolution of the FPS genre and found myself loving those games more than Doom 3.

Yeah, as you see my parents were nice enough to play somewhat with me, but I definitely had a lot of time to game by myself.

I see, no wonder you keep assuming it :P

Yeah, that isn't promising. I think we will skip this weekend, too much of a pain to do it during the late night (before 3 AM) for me due to all the noise.

Definitely makes sense when going to a university. My first phone came a decade later or so of course, meaning I got this.
