Consistently Inconsistent

I thought I was going into the weekend with some confidence. I had a good 27-3 match late in the week and thought momentum would carry me through to some dominating matches. But like my jump shot, I can't maintain any real consistency. I'll get the hot hand one game and the next one, I'm better off passing the rock. But that shouldn't take away from some downright filthy (and in the good way) games I threw down this weekend.

Check out what I posted in Underpass on Friday afternoon:



Sorry the image isn't really straight. I was so excited and rushed to take the pic before intermission ended or the lobby closed due to shitty hosting or whatever. But can you believe that?! 24-1?! I was pitching a perfect game until the waning seconds of the match when SubjectMATT picked me off. I was shooting at him too! I did spend a good chunk of time in a room w/ a bunch of windows (camping, really) while my air support was up, but I was able to hit a few guys outside and got some lucky kills via claymore from people insisting on going into my building, either for cover or to come after me. But camping or not, the numbers are what they are and the killstreak in my barracks say 24. I was running a Pave Low so I DID kill someone with my own hand BEFORE the Pave Low did its work, guaranteeing that I avoided the bug.

I also was able to represent to the fullest with a 21-1 game this weekend thanks to my air support in Quarry. But to be fair, these were the highlights. Most of my games hovered in the 1:1 k/d ratio and in the low double-digits. And there were probably some games where I crapped myself too.

I suppose I could probably get better with my consistency if I just stuck to the same class every game. But I don't know, I like trying out new shit. Like I'll run around w/ Akimbo mini-Uzis or try using a Thumper as a secondary weapon. I just unlocked the RPG so I might mess around with that for a bit, especially after seeing fools blow shit up from all the way across the map.

More and more, playing COD is like golf. You can hook and slice your drives and approaches and you can 3-putt get get snowmen on a par 3 all day long, but all it takes it that nice and straight tee shot right down the fairway, or that one approach that lands 1.5 ft away from the pin, or that one 30-ft putt to make the day worth it. I think that 24-1 match is my hole in one. Consistency who?

  1. In your inaugural post, you stated, "nothing is more entertaining then putting a trash talker in his place."

    Where did my post go? Was this trash talking placed in the trash? Coward. If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. Too much gaming, not enough banging. I suggest you use "too much gaming, not enough banging" as your new motto for COD.

    Congratulations, something beneficial HAS come out of your blog, a new motto!

    Next time you trash talk, make sure to actually read who posted the blog.

    Got to love the fact that some random person takes the time out of his day to comment on a blog created for sole purpose of exchanging inside jokes between 5 friends.

    After all, one guy refers to himself in third person...take a hint dude
