So, I decided to make a little crappy skin for myself using Skincraft on Newgrounds... xD I like how it turned out. >_> It's my prersonal skin, so...

Speaking of Minecraft, I'm thiking of starting a new world... maybe make it multiplayer wih a stipulation: You're not allowed to build your house into a natural structure, it must be 100% made from your materials.

The oly problem I'm facing with DS is that while I can really rape stuff (espeially with Mega/Power Juice), it's reach is so short that I have a limited range of things to break. XD I only broke the Rathian's head because I had Power Juice and a Demon Drug.

RTS is a spectator sport. If you have anything less than 400 APM, do not even touch that mouse.

Okay. That is an exaggeration. But you honestly cannot hope to come into WarCraft III without extensive reading in theory, builds, mechanics and improving general skills like micro, reaction time and maintaining your cool under pressure. WarCraft III has a terrible matchmaker. It was good up until about three years ago, but a thin-playerbase is just going to make those that survive all that much stronger.

Consider StarCraft II unless you want to spend more time reading into WarCraft III.

As for shooters, you can just be like me and find a way to win that does not require being a great shot.

Been trying to post about the TT eSports show match between White-Ra and Sheth, but there has been too much awesome to be able to switch tabs for long.

I don't really care much for competitive RTS; I hardly play them at all. Requires waaay too much of my time and effort to be good at, and I'm not that interested in it. It's still fun to play once in a while though. Against AI anyway. I don't doubt that I'd be slaughtered if I played against another person, unless s/he sucks as much as me.

And shooters... well, I'm not too terrible in TF2, though my reflexes could be better. I want to get better at Spy, but it's hard when there are other more useful classes you can play, especially when the other team is full of Pyros :| I think my worst class is Sniper -- and that's probably because I have terrible aim. It really sucks when you get a headshotted by one. But I suppose that's what Spies are for c:

Good Spy > Good Pyro

If the vanilla revolver was not enough, the new Enforcer can drop Pyros in three shots at 400~ HU (outside of flamethrower range) and Dead Ringer completely nullifies the +0.5 second cloak time downside.

200+ APM isn't that hard to do, really, even without spamming. 200 APM is ~3 actions per second, on average, which isn't actually that high. You should be doing more than that as a typical, say, Terran with your CC -> Barracks -> Factory -> Starport check and then going back to your main control group (~6 actions repeated every few seconds, basically; 10+ if you 4455667711 instead of 456711, for example). Zerg snapping around, vomiting, etc. can get to 120-150+ without really "playing fast" either.

I sit around doing nothing too often when playing but I sit at 180-200 pretty often when it's time for me to actually be doing things.

As for FPS/Snipers ... I got banned a lot from Counterstrike servers for "hacking." I'm the worst sniper ever :(

I have the Ambassador, which is almost pointless for me because I have no aim for headshots ;_; I don't think I have the Enforcer yet. Dead Ringer is pretty hard to get used to, even though I've looked up videos on how to use them effectively.

Meanwhile, I've been playing more Soldier since I've gotten a bit bored of Pyro. It's a lot of fun and I can maneuver myself around maps well, though I still gotta practice more rocket jumping. Demoman's also fun. Engie's great too, but I haven't played much of him. Every time I try to, the match is almost over ): Or there's already five on the team. Damn bots.

Oh god that narrator. I think I am in love. That game, too, it looks cool. Far more action-oriented than PSO original, but still looks promising. The whips, especially.

Also, naturally one clip from the character creator is someone using the detail controls on the breasts.


In case of implosion, look directly at implosion.
