Abnormally Good at Games

Sign in to disble this ad
I am now at the hardcore level of gamer/nerd.

I was over at my friends while they were back from college/army and we were waiting for 10 to come along so we could see Dark Knight.. we ended up playing a killer 3 round/50kpr match. Only catch was.. I was on my own, 3 vs. Me!

Now, none of them are new to the game (especially my friend Bryant who plays almost everyday at college).. we play every time they visit, but i guess this time they decided I was too good to be put on a team with anyone.

1st Round... I won 50-38
2nd Round.. I lost 35-50
3rd Round... I won 50-21

If any of you don't know, They combined have to kill me 50 times to win. I say I held my own pretty well for only playing halo 3 probably only once or twice a month since I got it.

Pretty pointless post.. but oh well

Of course they might just be collectively rubbish. Gaming ability is all relative really.

I don't know, sometimes being out numbered can be to your advantage because there are more targets for you to kill and less for them.

Sometimes but not always..

I wish I had recorded this, My friend Justin had me down to no shield.. threw a nade to finish me off, I threw a bubble shield around him right before he got it out of his hand... BOOM! I laughed my ass off.. then he hit me haha great times..

from my experience, you would actually have a pretty big advantage in this scenario. you have 3 people to kill, none of them better at the game then you. and there's only one person for them to kill(you).

from my experience even a mediocre player against one really good player and two not so good players would win in this scenario.

your not a gaming god. sorry.

Not exactly, It evens out with the fact that one person can kill me 15 times and another can kill me 15 times and another can kill me 20, where as i have to make 50 kills on my own against 3 people attacking me at once.. I'm no gaming god, but I am good at games typically.. Its my hobby and one of few things i have to do besides play bass (and come wednesday, work) because I live in the middle of nowhere

Actually in truths, a few things work in your favor. You can be sneakier, they spend so much time just trying to give a position on you that they'll end up being noisy and impatient. The other thing is that it was Halo, it's like a recreational game like table tennis just because I've seen a few grandparents play with their kids and grandkids XD. Also the fact that you have more targets gives you more freedom, go for the one alone, have a nade go for two. Not trying to bring you down just giving you an idea especially from having played matches in games like cs, cs source, do, and back in the day quake XD on an amateur level. Now if you are really naturally good, there's money to be made .

I would LOVE to make money doing this and possibly will.. maybe not playing games but designing them. I'm going to a local college pretty soon here in the fall then transferring to a better college later on for Video Game Simulation/Design. I have notebooks full of ideas for games that I've been writing down since I was a little kid

I used to play CS all the time along with DOD, COD and BF 1942. I went to a tech school for the last part of my high school year for a computer class and me and my friends were always in head of the ball (really all the teacher did was make you build computers and put OS's on them.. easy enough) so we just played games all class.
