10x Winning Streak on Blur, reached rank 50 and a ingame argument!

Hi gamers!

I've been pretty quiet on my blog as in, writing stories. This is due to the point that I've been playing Blur so much recently.

I stopped playing at rank 36, my memory is kinda foggy on that but sounds about correct. Anyway, as I started playing again I got addicted twice as much as before resulting me in rocketing up to rank 50 in just 2 days. Of course after rank 40 the last few levels are piss easy and the reason for that is mainly the cars you unlock through out 40 to 50 are useless/you can do with out them.

Last mod you unlock is silent running which indeed was a mod I wanted ever since the start of multiplayer, but I hardly use it as you come out of the cloak from the smallest hits. Was fun using it on a few races though.

What really made me rank up so quickly is how many times I came first in a row, amazingly I got a 10x winning streak which is really rare for me. Most other level 50 players rage quit. As many players do they fight for 7th-5th place all the time which only gives the top 3 distance, and with the bottom 3 always using bolts and shunts on each other rather than shocks for the leading pack. If only those players would think straight this winning streak would not of happened to me, it's a positive thing for me sure but it's just too easy when this happens.

Last time I was level 49 :'(

There are great amount of cocky players on Blur, always ramming and thrashing around on the track. Usually when players do this one of two things can happen for you.

1. You can avoid the 'riot' and drive straight past, giving you a great amount of distance from the rest of the pack.

2. Getting caught in the middle of the 'riot' causing you to be defensive and ram back. Slows you down a hell of a lot and can cause you to spin out. Also forced to being rescued and set back even further.

Exactly why am I bringing this up? Well I started to get really angry at one player, the amount of cockyness that was coming from his driving was just aggravating, so I thought I'd counter his cockyness and play cocky myself. At every race I'd counter his ramming, manoeuvres, and powerups shots.
At this point, my heart started to increase in BPM as what I did became very effective, he couldn't pass me, slow me down or get close to me at all.

I get a message from this player, calling me all sorts of female names. (bitch, hoe, whore. etc). When players say these things to me, I often wonder WHY they call me female names.. Like I just don't get it. :shrug:

I replied to one of his messages saying him to watch his mouth, as PSN and XBOX LIVE are very strict on foul language. He took the bait and I reported his sorry ass! While thrashing on the track and only aiming for him which only made him more angry I could see it in his driving. At this stage he couldn't message me (blocked) as he continually spammed my inbox cursing at me, so the only way for him to really reply was to be aggressive in the game which only made him screw up even more.

10 races later of him trying to counter my attacks he disconnected. BL!

I've gone MMO crazy!! Aion, Lineage ][, Counter-Strike and others.

Hi gamers!

Yes, it's that time of year again where new release games are becoming more gimmicky by the month. As saving money for the limited, special and collector's edition of games. I'd need a break from buying new games at the moment, and this is where free MMOs come into play.

Oh gawd!

Of course there are many MMOs out there to play for free, also many private servers and all that jazz. A friend of mine I study with has been pushing me to get into Guild Wars, I recently tried a 10hr trial and I did enjoy it but not having a really fast connection (3MB/s) many of the free hours I had were eaten up by download times when going into new areas. No private servers for this one, but the game is actually pretty affordable at $6 on many web stores such as eBay and Amazon.

A few months back I looked at Aion and really liked the look of it (as in I like the female characters, bet you didn't know that =P) so I downloaded that and joined the Infinite Aion servers. It's good to see that it's not heavily trained much like many WoW servers you see now-a-days. There was an update some time ago, so I have to wait for that game to download on my super fast connection. Yes that was sarcasm, I seem to suck at it. I can safely say the same thing happened with Lineage ][, I actually bought the game and it came with 1 month free of game play.. Biggest catch was you must make a purchase in order to get the 1 month free, that was balls. I did go ahead and play it on a private server, but I really like Aion more.

If you were following my old blog (before I moved to blogger) I mentioned I was playing Project Blackout non-stop, which I was after I realised how much money I spent playing that game and it was meaning to be a free-to-play, the game is heavily unbalanced between people who have money and people who don't. So there goes that game again. Many free-to-play FPSMMOs are unbalanced and it takes away the fun completely, might as well just make these games a subscription really cause that's what the bloody thing looks like! Can't believe I spent $120 on these games, sesh!!!

Actually, I've been playing Counter-Strike: Source again can you believe this whole time it's been out it was actually in BETA? I sure can't, now the game feels right and THANK GOD I can see my health now on de_dust and de_dust2!! Bit late Valve don't you think? Anyway, besides the late updates I've been having quite a bit of fun, also raging at other players is something I've missed ;) If you'd like to play Counter-Strike: Source with me add me on Steam, I've also got Counter-Strike 1.6 as well not that I play it much.

I can go on and on about Free MMOs, the MMOs I have but with all do respect they're good time wasters and I do get very competitive, I just can't play for fun any more.. What's with that?
