Category: Am I Annoying You?
So today the office closed at noon in order to send the employees home before the storm being dubbed “Snowmageddon” hit in full force. I left at 10:30AM. It was important that I get a jump start on business.
Last week I went on a rant about dim bulbs that run out in a panic at the last minute buying every food and snow removal item in a tri-state area. This week I decided instead of doing my usual smug, “why are you stupid?”, semi-funny grumbling about these people I decided to put these people’s self-imposed plight to good use. In the true American way, I’m turning Snowmageddon into Monty’sageddonpaidyo!
Online people are freaks. They are. They’ve shunned the daylight and physical connection in favor of the warm glow of a monitor and instant access to millions of other equally depraved individuals. Yes, I know… that’s me. At the moment, it’s you too. So there. Smarty. Anyway… online gamers are the freakiest of freaks and first person shooter gamer people are like freaks beyond the human ability to even grasp the concept of said freakitude. And they are so, so funny to mess with.
I enjoy video games. I tend to enjoy strategic or thought provoking games like SimCity, Civilization, and Leisure Suit Larry 5. Every now and then I hop on the ol’ PS3 and play me some shoot ‘em up bang bang games. For me the real joy in such a game isn’t getting the most kills, the biggest weapons, the most dramatic way to make a head fly off… no… for me it’s all about messing with the heads of the other players in the game. It’s the best stress reliever ever.
I’m currently playing a game called Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. It’s probably the most popular of its genre right now. I usually log in for a multiplayer game which means that for the next hour or so, me and a dozen other people will be connected online in this game with the purpose of killing each other. Well, they are… I’m there to mess with them. I’ve also got a wireless headset so I can talk to my new friends. Boy do they love that.
