Thinking you're doing great in a game and then getting beat by a lower level player?

That's the story of me in Destiny. And most other games, to be honest. There's always that guy who knows what he's doing far better than I, even though I've put more time into the game.

I blame cockiness on my part though. Sometimes, despite my attempts to the contrary, I'm like "Sure, little level 3 guy, you can charge me with that hand cannon. Allow me to introduce Invective, my incredibly powerful shotgun. Look at that! He likes you. Hey there, level 4 guy, did you come to--"

*get's shotgunned in the face*

Chozon was shotgunned by: level4guy

*Respawn timer count down*

"...I'll admit that I deserved that."

I started playing Clash of Clans and that's what's happening to me too. I've set up my village so that they have to destroy everything on the outside before they move to the inside, all while getting shot at by a bunch of cannons and people still end up razing me with low level troops.

Goku vs Superman?

Favorite Exotic?

I don't even want to know how often I get killed by shotguns. I would be embarrassed. -_-

It's difficult to say, since I switch weapons pretty frequently...I haven't gotten a hold of one of the Exotic Hand cannons or Scout rifles either, though I'd certainly love to.

At the moment, I'm really loving Invective, since the ammo regeneration almost feels like I'm cheating, and it works in the Crucible. And it fires in full auto; I don't even have to aim. Just walk or run around the corner, point away from face, and hold down the trigger. XD

I'm a really bad sniper, but I've also had good times with Patience and Time. A sniper rifle that gives you a cloak and keeps the radar active? If it didn't have the lens flare, it would be unfair. XD I've had some good sniping wars with random players, and managed to win because of the split second delay due to the cloak.

As far as armor goes, I love the Armamentarium; I love that extra grenade. You can dodge the first, but probably not the second. Great for bosses, too. I want one for my Hunter and Warlock. XD

Goku vs Superman?

I think I might rage quit at that point. -_- I wish I had an android device to try out CoC, since I hear the name all the time. What is it?

I would tend to think Superman would win, since by my last count, Goku has died at least three times. Superman just once, and he wasn't even really dead.

Invective is probably my favorite weapon in the game. I do like Super Good Advice for a close second.
As for armor I always go with the Young Ahamkara's Spine or the Sealed Ahamkara Grasps, it depends on if I'm using Gunslinger or Nightstalker.

Grumpy Cat?

In CoC, you are the head of a village. You have to protect the village while raiding other villages for resources and trophies. Trophies are the basis of the ranking system in the game and the more trophies you have, the higher the league you're in. The higher the league you're in, the bigger the loot bonus for a successful attack. It's kind of like a mix between management and tower defense and it's really fun. I think I'm getting razed because I haven't upgraded my defenses enough which is a problem that I can fix.

I kind of think Goku would win, but I'm not sure. Superman has no limits, but Goku can overcome any limit set before him which means that he is limitless as well. I also think that it's pointless to argue because if they did fight, they'd probably accidentally destroy the entire planet before we found out who was the strongest.

Street Fighter?

Can you still get Super Good Advice in TTK? I never got it in year one.

I also haven't started working on leveling my hunter and Warlock up yet, nor unlocked the new classes. I tend to complete all the story events with my Titan, then Hunter, then Warlock. -_- I'm really looking forward to being a Nightstalker though.

I love grumpy cat. <3 He expresses how I feel very often. XD

Street Fighter?

Maybe neither would win, but the battle would simply rage on into eternity. O_o Or maybe they wouldn't even fight.

Street Fighter is...sort of the fish that got away. I shall tell you the story of my people. It is long, and ends unhappily. Think "Lost" but without all the hype.

I stumbled across SSF4 in a Kroger bargain bin for $5. I don't know how that happened. I vaguely remember a rack of games in that Kroger for Christmas, I think. Either way, they must have had a bin of video games at one point, and this managed to not get bought, trickle through the stock room, and get tagged for bargain bin. Regardless, yellow tagged, brand new, and hiding underneath spoiled dairy products, it awaited me.

I took it home, put it in...and promptly got my rump kicked on easy mode. This proceeded to happen for a good two days, before I realized: I must not be doing something right. So I turned to wise Google, and read. Wise Google said to me: Street Fighter was a game of tactics, not button mashing. You must know what you're doing to succeed.

This information in hand I returned to the game for training. I picked Ryu as a good baseline character, and then I proceeded to practice, learn, and memorize all the moves. All of them. I could snap off a hadouken almost without thought, and Shoryukens were easier than store-bought pie.

And then I fought my way to M. Bison easily. Easily. None of the computer controlled characters were challenging (save the Indian guy, and the blue electric-shadow guy...thing.) Of course, M.Bison crumpled me into a wad of Ryu flavored toilet paper, and flushed me down the toilet.

But I was determined. I would return, fight harder, learn every move of every character, sharpen my focus into a razor. I intended to buy a fight stick, maybe join the tournament scene when I was a true master.

And then I forgot about the game completely. O_o The end. I think I went to work for Wal-Mart, and was too busy having all the life sucked out of me to become an ultimate Street Fighter. -_-

Long story short: I actually really enjoy the game, but I never play it for whatever reason. XD I need to take it back up.

Yes you can! They moved up the MIDA, Plan C, No Land Beyond, Super Good Advice, and I feel like i'm forgetting something. They also moved up a lot of armor.

Giant Reese's Peanut Butter Cups?

I picked it up during the Steam Winter Sale and I think I'm starting to actually get used to the controls. SSF4 is the first arcade style fighting game I've gotten into and the controls are a bit foreign to me.

Favorite special move in SSF4?

Giant Reese's Peanut Butter Cups?

Good. I need to start saving my Ancient pennies. They moved up Hard Light, too. I received the year 1 version in my early supporter pack-thingum, and I really, really want to get the year 2 version. It's crazy good. O_o

I would eat them. Twelve times. When people say, "You can have too much of a good thing", I'm like "Reese's Peanut Butter cups prove you wrong". And they can't argue back. XD

Yeah...Before I actually picked up the game and played it, I rolled my eyes at the people who bought fight sticks. Afterwards, I actually understand why they do it. I'd probably say they're too complex.

I'm not sure if the hadouken counts, but I'ma pick that. Because it's a classic. XD

Probably my biggest question ever... What is you avatar/profile pic?

That...is Homestar Runner, from Homestarrunner.com.

It's a ye-olde series of flash cartoons from the genesis of the interwebs created by the Chapman Bros. <3 Truly classic, and truly great. They still update is occasionally, but the old stuff is better.

I'd say more but I spent...oh, an hour watching the new stuff. They stopped updating it in 2010 or so, and I just found out they added more this year and last year.

The intro to it already made me laugh... I am going to enjoy this

IOGraph?

Not including last night, I literally have no idea how many hours I've spent on Homestarrunner.com. It's amazing, and fairly clean.

IOgraph seems interesting. Not sure I'd try it, but the sample shots they showed were pretty incredible.

It really depends on what you do, but its pretty cool sometimes.

Favorite Homestarrunner character?

Oh, I do love me some Homestar. He's such a goober it's kind of hard not to love him. XD

At the same time, Strongbad is pretty great too. He usually ends up shooting himself in the foot so much that he turns into a good guy. Strong Sad is pretty great too, since we've all been Strong Sad at one point.

D&D Greg. Definitely D&D Greg.

I haven't seen Strong Sad or D&D Greg yet, I guess I have to keep watching XD

Mythbusters?
