Evening Reading
by Brian Leahy, Aug 23, 2010 5:00pm PDTOver the weekend, I posted that I had "cheesed" my first opponent in StarCraft II. I had been on a losing streak and needed a win for my precious self-esteem. I had been the victim of the very build I used a week earlier and put it into action against an unsuspecting opponent. It felt dirty... but glorious at the same time.
Is this a slippery slope I find myself on? You can grab the replay here.
I'm off tomorrow and Wednesday on assignment, while Alice is on holiday. Be nice to Xav!

i play a good amount of BF:BC2 and almost every match, you have someone screaming about "the rules". these aren't game rules but self-enforced "rules" that apparently whiny little bitches enact to feel better about themselves.
for instance, on nelson bay, my team was defending. an attacker drove a tank into our base and jumped out. he was killed. i repaired the tank and hopped in with a gunner, and proceeded to kill like 4-5 enemies storming down the hill.
i was accused of "cheating" and "stealing a vehicle."
i always thought the fun of battlefield games was shit like that? stealing vehicles, etc. turning the enemy against itself.
