This blog is dedicated to a very special punk b!tch who I ran into while playing R6 online (while admitting to boosting on Countdown for 3 hours straight)
I always believed that the Microsoft’s achievements system was a great idea and to some extent I still do. However, it seems as if a large group of douche bags have taken it to an entirely absurd level. 100,000? 95,000? 75,000? Most who have achieved these scores did it by using disingenuous methods. Shady methods such as playing region specific games outside of their own region or utilizing the insidious and now infamous “game save” option. Personally, if you have an incredibly high gamer score achieved legitimately, more power to you. Quite frankly, I don’t care. Even if your methods of attaining a gamer score were fraudulent I don’t think I could care less. It’s when these tricks start bragging about their gamer score as if it meant they were superior players is when I get pissed.
I seriously lost count of all the players that come into a GRAW or GoW room and brag about their GS. They even have the audacity to clown on players who have lower scores. To these tricks out there my questions to you are this: So what? What did it get you? Did you win a cookie? Maybe even won a donut? What is the point? This does not mean in any way shape or form you are a superior player to any one else. You think you the Shiite at GoW or R6? I can find a hundred people that would smoke you like purple haze with only a GS of 1K. So quit talking your sh!t just because there are people out there who choose to have a social life, a career, and a woman in their lives rather than playing the 360 every f***ing day.
A GS doesn’t mean sh!t regardless if it’s high or low. For me, the GS is always secondary to having fun. I’m not going to buy a POS game like Superman, Sneak King, or Bomberman just to get the points. That defeats the purpose of playing the damn game. If you choose to do the aforementioned, that’s great but don’t think it makes you better than anyone else.
