You seem to have an obsession over HMGs. By chance have you ever used one? Because I specialize in them. They're a hell of a lot harder to use than you seem to think. They have almost no range, damage, or spread, so you have to be dead on with your shots at a rather short range to get your kills. If you were being killed by HMGs today, that's probably because they were better than you.

Because I don't have as much experience in the other points. But when you say people snipe across the map with HMGs and 20k shields, that just looks stupid and uninformed. It's impossible to even shoot across 1/4 of the map with one, let alone snipe.

Changed to sniper rifle because I know it's making you cry.

Does anyone really ?

Is it such a big surprise to people that the big players in anything are "no lifers"? Bigshot CEOs who make more millions than they can spend are workaholics who work upwards of 16 hour days. Actors often work upwards of 16 hour days. Olympic athletes train all day.

Competitive gamers don't sleep well, get fat etc. whereas competitive athletes get all kinds of injuries, undergo surgeries etc. CEOs and actors make boatloads of money, but often end up alienating their families and friends, practically living on a set/their office. That's the cost of pushing yourself beyond your limits to get to the top. As an aside, I'd call a pro gamer several things, but not lazy. I don't know if anyone out there truly pees in bottles, but going for 2-3 days without sleep to make progress and then only sleeping for something like 6 hours is far far from my definition of laziness.

Being competitive means living and breathing whatever it is you're competing in. It means being passionate, driven and not really about having a "life". Those people didn't give "life" up -- they didn't care for it in the first place. Personally? I admire those people. I admire the willpower and sheer focus of them all regardless of field, be they athletes, businessmen or pro gamers.

Now, being a casual gamer myself, I mostly enjoy watching pro gamers being good at their game and pwning others. Other guys watch sports with their friends, I watch games with my friends. To each their own.

My message? Don't downplay other people's effort that got them somewhere higher than where you are now, no matter what the field. If getting to the top matters to you, try harder and chase after them. If not, hang back with the rest of us in the middle of the Bell curve, it's nice and cozy and includes lots of spare time.

On the social life part, I hate people. I stay away from them. I focus on education and not partying with morons who think booze and impregnating women is fun.

Then again, I like a nice chat with a intellectual who can carry on a conversation without being boring.

Oh of course it would be an STB member to post this ****. I can do almost as well in militia as I can in advanced with complex mods.

You sound pretty mad there buddy
