A Post About, Well Nothing

Yep, that's right. A post about nothing. Okay well this post is going to have to do with something, but I couldn't think of a title.
So I have started playing Halo Wars again lately, mainly due to someone I know from Bungie.net getting on me about still not beating the campaign. Well I still have yet to finish it, but hope to sometime. I played against him in a 1v1 twice and lost horribly both times, but hey I haven't played it as much as he has and I'm not good at strategy games either. I did earn an achievement for it today which was reach recruit in the matchmaking part of it. It was really easy since I didn't even play the game. I quit out of the game, but that was because my teammate quit before it even started. I don't know how I even got to the recruit rank since it was my first game and I really didn't even play it since I quit out of it. But I doubt if I play Halo Wars online much anyways, since it's one of those games where best enjoyed without a bunch of loser's. See despite it being a strategy game, I take out the strategy and just assault with a large squad. I don't do any of this "oh go over here and see how many hit points this enemy has then come back with a unit that has 5 more points then him." I guess that's why I'm not good at this game, but it sure is fun to play.

One thing I want to do in Halo is become a better ground pounder. I really have no idea what a ground pounder does, but I do know they support the Hog and grabbing the objective. Anyways, I would like to get better at certain things like rushing laser and at least bringing it back for our team. The one reason I would like to do this is simple, I can't always get in the gunner seat and my driving is fail. On the other hand though, I would like to become a better driver then I already am. So I really need to think of what do I want to do more, drive or what.

Now for a couple games from this past weekend that were good.

This first game is from Fiesta. Got a killtacular with the skull and then blast into the lead with 10 seconds left.

I got randomly matched with someone from a group I am in and I drive him to a Frenzy. Decent considering my driving.

This game would have turned out different if the two people wouldn't have quit.

Our first game were nobody quit and it was close too. The game went like this, they score, we score, they score, we score and we score again. Best game of the weekend.

Another close game. I have no idea when we scored, but the other team wouldn't let up and kept coming at us non-stop.

Okay you know something that really ticks me off about the people that play Halo? It's the people that decide to pick on a rank for no reason at all. I see alot of this with higher ranks picking lower ranks. I mean okay so you're a Colonel and he's a Staff Captain, who cares? What is your purpose of doing so? Is it to make yourself feel good about beating a player who has a lower rank then you? If so, seriously how lame can you get? Rank doesn't get you anything outside of the game and I've argued this point on the forums, but no apparently it does get you things in life. Oh, by the way, you forgot to tell me what they are... The stuff I see these "pro's" do are pretty cool, but it's nothing that impressive to earn you a $500,000 contract yearly to a "pro" team. Okay so you go down to Florida or up to Toronto and win one of the events up there, again, what does it get? Yeah sure it gets you money and fame, but what else? Does it give you a place to live or does it get you food each month you need it? Answer, no it doesn't.
I guess all I'm saying is, no matter what your rank is, no matter how high you can push your k/d spread or no matter how many perfections you've gotten. It's not going to get you anything outside of the game. Yeah I'm probably wrong, but right now, I don't see it.

Sorry for the rant, but I get so tired of these people that think rank means everything. Anyways, that's all for now. Hope you enjoy.
