FACE_DOOM_II’s thoughts on how to be a better and more enjoyable opponent.
So I’m playing a game. It’s a game that I love, and I’m in a room with at least a few of my friends, and it’s Saturday. Everything should be great right now…but it’s not. I’m feeling stressed, or annoyed, or outright angry (in the worst case scenario) because the individual across from me is doing something – or multiple somethings – that are really hampering my ability to enjoy one of my favourite hobbies. They aren’t being a dick or trying to cheat as far as I can see, but they are not holding themselves to a high standard of gameplay and that’s making things hard for me.
And the worst part? Knowing that I’ve been guilty of all or some of the things they are doing as well at some point or another. I’ve had to work hard and spend time and money in an effort to become a player people enjoy facing off against (most of the time), and it’s not easy. It starts with good attitude and sportsmanship but that’s only the beginning, and that’s what I want to talk about today: how to be a better opponent.
Ok ok FACE_DOOM I’ll put Epic Haley away…
