This one's for all the gamers out there, but anyone can respond. For any member that was here last year, there was a prompt where we were asked to write about something we love. I don't remember exactly what it was, but here was my response.
"You know, you can learn a lot about a person from the way they play videogames, and we're not talking about casual play or button mashing. I'm talking about looking at a player at their absolute best. When passion takes over, and produces a player who approaches the game in their own unique way."
So I'd like to ask this, what does a person's choice of videogames and their approach to videogames say about them?
I consider myself a pretty competitive gamer and fighting games are my choice of game. Ultimate Marvel, Project M, Smash 4, Tekken, you name it, I'm down for a round or two, but contrary to what I wrote, I do know how to have a good time with friends. Whether it's laughing our way through Mario or playing a set, I know video games are about having fun as well.
I see myself as a perfectionist when I game. Whether it's cutting my best times in Gran Turismo and Mario Kart or making reads and completing combos in fighting games, my goal is perfection above all else. To quote Mew2King, one of my favorite professional gamers, "Unless you're frame perfect 99 out of 100 times, you're not good enough.".
Anyway, I'll probably get better with these discussions as the series continues. XD;;
Also feel free to suggest topic for discussion.
