Once you realise that a game’s worth is not in its perfection, but in your own enjoyment level, then you’re going to have a lot more fun playing video games

Ok, this goes into some research I read on the different types of gamers.

They are:

Killers- Think your competitive types, they’re going to be playing games like Modern Warfare, Halo, and other competitive games. They get enjoyment by winning over their opponent.

Achievers- Going for the 100% route, trying to get the high score, etc. Think any game with increasing difficulty and esoteric achievements. They play games to try to achieve perfection within the game.

Explorers- They just want to explore the game- think more storytelling or immersive experiences, etc. They enjoy gaming because it allows them to escape and engage in a world and really take it all in.

Socializers- Found more in MMOs, where there can be real community building, they play games to meet and work with other people.

Killers and Achievers tend to be a lot holier than thou, but they’re all valid, so long as you’re having fun in your own way.

This is by far the best addition to this post, thank you for the analysis! I honestly didnt know about these different types, it’s really interesting!

i honest to god don’t know what’s funnier

– susie thinking it was bdosin but it was actually nus but it was actually ark the whole damn time

– nus casually wearing nyxl’s jersey around in the spitfire house, right in front of the spitfire flag no less. the disrespect

– the fact he even kept that jersey from stage 1 like i know they traded jerseys on mutual ground but the thought of him wearing it and being like it’s mine now bitch is so damn funny

Tintin remembers what comes after 15.

FUCKING HELL IT’S BACK FROM LAST YEAR

This literally gets reblogged every 15th of the month. It’s almost two years old. It’s beautiful.

listen up ya’ll this post is 6 years old now and you’re still reblogging it. every month. once a month, my notifications blow up for this one video, but only until the 16th. then the notes on this vid completely stop. it’s so eerily spot on and impressive how you just all collectively know what to do. if I’m not online, people irl still remind me that it’s the 15th. thank you for six surreal years of me wondering if I completely fucking lost it. here’s to the 15th

snow’s OWL Season 1: Journey (from twitter)

Hello everybody! It’s me, Miki :]

I’m titling this little post “OWL Season 1 Journey” because it’s that – a journey, and quite a surreal one if I might add! This post will service as an outlet of my thoughts and my emotions after a year I will be forever grateful for having the privilege of experiencing. Before I begin, I would like to apologize for my terrible English (It’s never been a strong-suit of mine >_>).

*takes a deep breath* Let’s begin.

For someone like me, the thought of going from a tier 3 team to an OWL team was quite a challenge I was eager to tackle! I remember the night when I was offered the contract to join the Boston Uprising like it was yesterday. I tried my best to stay calm but later that night, I couldn’t help but call all my loved ones and break down in tears with pure joy in my heart. For those of you that don’t know much of me, I’ll just say that life had not been the easiest on me mentally before I found Overwatch. Let me just say, this was one of the happiest nights of my life. I will forever be thankful to HuK for blessing me with the opportunity to grow not only as a competitor, but as a teammate, a friend, and a person in general.

When OWL rosters started to be released to the public, I was not surprised that a majority of people would not think too highly of us based off of our prior accomplishments and name brand. I remember pulling out a notepad and hand-writing every negative comment someone would write about our team to use as a form of motivation. I knew in my heart we would prove the world wrong, and I think this is one of the biggest reasons we had success as a team. No matter what stood in our way, our organization and staff chose players who would chase after success, no matter how impossible it may have seemed. As the season began, and as I got to meet every player in person, it wasn’t long before I felt like I had truly found a team that didn’t feel like a team, but like a family. Everyone was kind, loving, funny, generous, selfless, and kicked butt at video games. Every time we had a bad day of scrims, HuK would pick us up and encourage us. You could see how much he believed in each and every player. Every time we had a problem with a strategy or concept, our support staff would work to the bone to fix the problem and help guide us through it as a team. Every time a certain player was down and not feeling well, every other player would take it upon themselves to make that certain player smile. Boston also has the most energetic and kindhearted fans that a team could ask for. I can proudly and confidently say that our team could withstand any challenge thrown in our way. Each stage presented it’s own obstacle, and we overcame every single one. Although we lost in the playoffs, I think we accomplished a lot, and all of our players deserve praise and recognition for the hard work and sacrifices they made.

To HuK, Shake, Mini, MrBleeple, Miwa, Mike, John, Janet, Avast, Mistakes, Kellex, Kalios, AimGod, Gamsu, Striker, NotE, Neko, and everyone at the Kraft Group and Boston Uprising, I love you guys/gals very much. Thank you for everything you did in season 1, and everything you continue to do. I know each and everyone of you will continue to be successful as you progress through this wonderful adventure that we call life.

To our fans, this season wouldn’t have been possible without each and every one of you. I sincerely mean it when I say that you guys/gals are the most passionate, loving, and kindhearted people on this planet.

To Blizzard, and everyone at the Overwatch League, thank you so much for everything you do. You guys/gals have changed my life forever.

What a journey.

Lets see where it goes.

I may or may not have shed a tear or two writing this haha
