::A Geek in Korea::

Back when Cloverfield was released in January, some foreigner friends invited me over to Rodeo Town to play some Call of Duty 4. I went from being the “noob” of the group to being able to shoot and occasionally toss a grenade when I needed to on the first game day. By the second time around, I was shooting with more precision, and I learned the perks of the different classes in the game to a better degree. By the third time we played, I had found the class I liked best, and was running around holding my own for the first time, affecting the outcome.

Today, I dominated the game for the first time. We played free for all and I’d slaughter people. I was completely surprised to be getting the drop on people the first time and shooting first. We played teams and I’d have a higher kill to killed ratio. We’d play domination games where you needed to hold certain points of the map, and even short handed (2 vs 3) my team would still win. Yay! I only got shut down on the “elimination” game mode, because I tend to never pick up sniper rifles, and have problems aiming “up” while drawing a lot of fire from everyone else trying to eliminate me.

I’ve got to keep my head about myself and not get cocky. I’ve got a terrible habit of getting a big head when I think I can win. I know I don’t like playing people like that, but I always realize something I say might come off as cocky only after I’ve said it.

I’m also going to need a speedy delivery of Super Smash Brothers Brawl now that it’s been released in America. I want to host a series of games at my house, and I’ve got to get people to come over and play. Being a bad winner is never good for encouraging future gaming sessions.
