So this previous weekend, GotGame was at Never Never LAN 3.0 in San Francisco hosted by Ascendancy Gaming. I was there from 2pm to about 2am doing assorted things. GotGame brought tons of food, t-shirts, and raffled off a 8800 GT. The interns that made it were: Zain, me, Ryan, Gabe, Martin and Carlos; we all had a good time. The LAN had consistently around 100 players at all times mostly playing Call of Duty 4, Counter-Strike: Source, and Team Fortress 2. The only game out of those I have is Call of Duty 4, so I was just playing the public LAN game. I didn't stay for the tournament because I didn't have a team. Well, it was a great experience since I haven't gone to a LAN in roughly 7 years. Met cool people, talked about GotGame, and fragged some noobs. Check it out at http://www.ascendancygaming.com/.
It's stupid that I'm trying to be good at two games. Especially when those two games are Call of Duty 4 and World of Warcraft. I try and budget my time well between the two, but there just aren't enough hours in the day. I think about it and I could very well just stick to one game and do extremely well in it... but no, I have to play two completely different genres. It's also stupid because it messes with my reflexes and movement within the game. In WoW I kinda just run around at half speed, pausing next to an opponent just to press the same few keys over and over again until dead. Rinse and repeat. Then in Call of Duty 4 I'm constantly running around, looking down sights, and chucking assorted hand held items. Just wait until Crisis Core comes out, then I'll be split between three games. The only thing that seems to be stopping me from playing games all the time is GotGame and sleep. I don't include food because I can just play and eat at the same time (now that's time management!). Ah well, I'll get there in both games someday. Maybe instead of being pro in one game like ZigZag, I'll just join crappy clans in both games. Although it is tempting to go pro.
Then I can spend weeks bragging about my win at Gigafrag LAN.
Well, it was just my 21st birthday. Too bad I don't really drink or anything. To celebrate, I've decided to build my own computer. My budget is a grand, but I think I'll go over a little bit because of little additions that I like.
