“fristly never use a pro review to back your arugement 2nd saying no one can make negtive comments on your video defeats the purpouse of free speach however i do arugee that it shouldnt take worlds of effort and pactice to enjoy a game but prehaps you should give mount and blade another chance? and as for these games being thw wrost no this our your least favoite there is a massive diffence for exlaple runescape is a very good game its just not your cup of tea not really mine anymore eather”

Interesting points, but let me rewrite that for you and then reply to what I wrote.

I have a few things to say, first being: never use a pro review to back your argument. The second would have to be about you wanting no one to make a negative comment; that defeats the purpose of the first amendment, spitting on the face of the constitution of The United States of America. USA is all about free speech! Give Mount & Blade another chance, I do agree\argue that it shouldn’t take worlds of effort and practice to enjoy a game.

Pause for this part: I honestly have no clue as to what you said, other than you don’t play Runescape anymore.

My reply:

Hello and good day sir!

I did it to show that I wasn’t alone; I was more bashing the games and not reviewing them. Reviewing would be a fair point of view with a multitude of various points; I was exposing how bad these games are. I did approach it similarly to a review, with an open-minded attitude and heart that is oh so eager to find great games. No expectations there!

When did I say that?  I don’t mind negative, I just am sick of all of the: “U’R suuu fkin st000pid lolzzzz M&B is teh best rolfmfoaoajahahah!!! go uninstull ur lif hahahahah!!!!!!”

I encourage people to speak their minds, if you aren’t saying what’s already been said. They added thumbs up for a reason.

My YouTube video IS NOT THE USA.

You know, maybe I will.. And I’d be back with a bang of how many glitches there are. I can’t tell if you are agreeing or arguing here, so I just won’t answer that.

I’m glad you graduated Runescape? Cool.

P.S. You had some really interesting foreign words such as: arugee, pactice, favoite, exlaple, and negtive.

“mount and blade ? sucks ? lol
YOU sucks…
mount and blade is the best game ever….
in your video you are alone without armor and play with the zoom -___-
you don’t know how to play this game…
so, you are idiot..”

My new and improved version:

Dear 0wnage55885,

Mount and Blade does not suck, you suck! It’s the best game ever! You are alone and actually use a feature most players don’t that has been implemented into the game. You don’t know how to play Mount and Blade, therefore you’re an idiot.

Sincerely, azarathWraith

Dear, azarathWraith

Before I write this I can see you are upset, and I am truly sorry I hurt your feelings, but after all it appears you play World of Warcraft so need I say more? Anyway, How’s it the best gamer ever? Yes, I am alone, I prefer to play solo in games. Sorry I zoomed, I didn’t know it wasn’t cool to do that; I was showing how crappy that feature was. I did play it, how do I not know how? I’m surprised you spend time to write these as your WoW guild is most likely waiting for you.

“M&B evethough i played it when i was 11 it is fun i think you havent seen it mods and never ever played the game btw YOU SUCK AT CROSSBOWS it should be use like in reality just o crosshairs”

I will now attempt to make a new and improved version of what I think you were trying to say:

Hello 0wnage55885, sorry to bother you but I noticed a few problems with your video, and you quite frankly. I played Mount & Blade when I was 11, although it had not yet been released unless I’m implying I’m like 13, which if that’s the case, yeah! You should check out some mods, it makes the crappy game less crappy. Also, you are terrible with crossbows, use a crossbow like you would in real life!

Sincerely, Xachz

Dear, Xachz

 Hello, it’s okay. You sound inexperienced, and your knowledge is simply lacking. Mods don’t make a game, it’s the mod that’s good not the game.. And as far as shooting the crossbow like you would in real life, I don’t think that’s true.. But as your knowledge is lacking I will agree with you there.

Sincerely, 0wnage55885

Dear MrBlurtit*

*The Bold writing is mine

Although it seemed like you had some interesting points your English left me rather confused, so I tried to re-type it as much as I possibly could. I will post the original(s) and then have my new improved spelling and corrections for you. “Mount and blade is one of the best games I have ever played but LOL you suck at it! Your a single peasant with a crossbow and your enemy’s with mighty Swadia. Please learn to play the game before you try to explain to people how bad it is.” It should look something more like: Mount and blade is one of the best games I have ever played. I’m laughing out loud because you are terrible. You’re* [always remember you’re when referring to you are] a single peasant with a crossbow and your enemys have mighty Swadia. Please learn to play the game before you try to explain to people how bad it is. Although this wasn’t the worst (that is yet to come) I am starting to see some of your points. I hope you do realize skill doesn’t make a game good, nor sports, nor most things (cooking is an exception, but I imagine you find real world skills hard to obtain anyway. By the way, It’s anyway, not anyways.) This second post seemed to have more thought, yet less technicality. I also see that it was an astonishing 10 minutes later, very impressive to see how much contemplation and thought went into it. Alright I will do the same thing again, your original post and my corrections to help get your lacking points across. (“Your” was just used correctly, please take note to it.) “And there are much worse games than Ricochet+ Runescape. I know alot of people will disagree with me when im giving runescape credit but its not the worst mmorpg ever made try some Browser/text based Rpgs I like a few but most are just garbage along with those ”””””””’RPGS””””””””’ made by Disney or whatever which are basically just alot of minigames and a pointless levelling system” Here is my new and improved one for you: Many games are worse than Ricochet, as well as Runescape. Although many people will disagree with me when accrediting Runescape, I find it obligatory to let this world know that it is not the worst Massive Multiplayer Role Playing Game. I highly recommend trying any browser based as well as text based Role Playing games to further prove my evidence. Not to bash or contradict what I previously stated, but I do like a few of them. Although many seem to fall into the category of useless garbage, (the role playing games made by Disney) or whichever they are. Sorry this information appears to be insufficient, but after all I am simply trying to prove a point. All in all Most of those garbage games just have pointless leveling and useless non beneficial mini-games.

Sincerely,

My Game of the Decade: Half-Life 2

After much thought I will begin to explain my favorite game of the decade, and reasons why. Firstly I would like to state that this is my personal favorite game of the decade and many other peoples. It wasn’t too hard of a decision, but thought did go into it. My game of the Decade is Half-Life 2, I will explain some of my thoughts on it. I had always been a multiplayer addict (comparing to single player) and single player was just optional, despite preferring playing against bots in the Unreal Tournament(s). This game changed things for me and the way I look at single-player first person shooters. Some may say the game is too linear, but this is one aspect I feel the game did a great job in, it can seem linear if you think about it, but it didn’t feel linear when you played, not too much, nor too little. Open world would just have not worked with Half-Life 2, it definitely felt like an open world game for me, even though it wasn’t, I’m sure you could still get lost but you always had a sense of direction without it being too obvious. Artificial Intelligence, some may look back and say it wasn’t the greatest, I would have to say it was some of the greatest for its time, not the best now obviously, it wasn’t a downfall of the game though, I can’t say there was any downfall in Half-Life 2, after all its up to you, not the Rebels, it’s just not that type of game. The story, you learn what you need to know whilst playing through the game, it managed to keep me captivated the entire play through of the game (and multiple play throughs) I “wikipedia’d” the game and was surprised to find out how much there was behind it, you may ask.. “Well I didn’t notice much in the game” or “why didn’t they put more of that story in the game”.. I have two reasons for that, the first one being the game would be flooded with way too much story and have less focus on gameplay, whereas what they did seemed to balance the game in those aspects. Reason two is that it would be like reading a novel if they put all the story into it, it’s like deleted scenes from a movie, it’s still there but it wasn’t incorporated into the movie, but it may be in a sequel, I.E. Half-Life 2: Episode 3 (possibly). One thing I absolutely loved about Half-Life 2 is how it compelled me to keep playing, I don’t recall ever having such strong feelings for a game that Half-Life manages to generate. Near the end of Half-Life 2 you just get to release all that build up anger you have towards the Combine. Half-Life 2 manages to be fast paced yet not have a rushed feel. I Could go on and on about the appreciation I have towards Valve for creating such a fantastic game. All in all I would have to say Half-Life 2 is the best game of the Decade, possibly ever. If you haven’t beaten this game it’s a must have, support valve; it’s worth the buy.

Killing Floor; My First Game. Ever.

My first Killing Floor Game ever. had lots of fun in the first day, lets see if this keeps up. By the way that sound near the beggining is my cat, not me. Sorry there is no in-game sound, It only recorded my mic. Watch in HD.

A little buggy, ugly HUD, ugly text, random crashes\errors. reminds me of left 4 dead. the crashing aspect.
