More Shows...

I watch a lot of shows. This isn't just limited to American shows, I watch Anime, Korean dramas and a bunch of other loose shit. I'm not gonna list everything I watch but if its a popular title, there is probably a high chance I've seen it. But today I'm going to talk about some new shit I been watching lately so here we go.

Breaking Bad - It's basically a show about cooking meth and selling it along with a bunch of other problems that happens along the way. I'm currently on season 2 (season 1 was really short) and so far I love it. It's got some fucked up shit that is wrong and funny at the same time. I mean come on, COOKING METH, what can be better. So if your looking for a new show to dip into, I definitely recommend this to anyone.

So I started this loose Korean Drama (what K-drama isn't loose) called God of Study. I'm almost done with the series and so far I think it's pretty decent. It's about a guy who is trying to send 5 students (with poor grades) to a top rated university in Korea by making them study day and night. It's not that serious of a drama and mainly appeals to the younger crowd. Probably very appealing to high school kids in Korea who are in the same boat of trying to ace the college exams. It tries to put a lot of humor and motivation in the series so that you can relate to all the students studying and struggling at the same time. I also enjoy this series cause it's not all that emo shit with cancer. But don't worry, this series isn't as good as BOYS (nothing is).

When D-Bag becomes funny (Encyclopedia Dramatica)

So I recently found this site called ED (Encyclopedia Dramatica) and oh man, it is one of the funniest shit I have ever read. This site is very similar to wikipedia and you can search up any topic you would like to learn more in. You might even find information very useful for your class or research paper, as well as uses for real life conversations (not really). Keep in mind that most of the content here is vulgar, or racist, douche, all of the above. I found this site when Matt (Ana-Bear) linked me to the page on Korea and I had a good laugh for about 10 minutes. I'm gonna just talk about some shit I read so far on the site.

First off - Naruto LARP FAIL

I know its fucked up, but its funny as hell. Call me douche or whatever but man, Codey "CODE RED" Porter was fucken role playing Gaara of the Sand and accidentally died while his head was in the sandbox. You can read the full story in the link.


(RIP CODE RED - DON'T WORRY NARUTO WILL SAVE YOU FROM AKATSUKI)

Oh btw, I know its fucked up, but please don't forget to read the Bel - Air rap song in the link (bottom of page). Trust me, its worth reading.

**However, some do speculate that this was not an accident of a fucking retarded kid, but instead a plot by Codey's "friends". It was rumored that Codey was used as a sacrifice by his friends in order for them to obtain the Mangekyo Sharingan.**

KOREA KOREA KOREA

Yup, fucken koreans. Oh man, the "How to troll a Korean" section and "fun facts" are so funny. I guess its true - "all Koreans have hardons for Starcraft".

Low-Blows (Capitalizing on your Opponents Mistakes)

Just like how I talked about people making mistakes in games, this is about taking advantage of it when your opponents mess up. It may seem dirty on the outside to take advantage of someone who makes a mistake, but it's one that is necessary in order to become victorious at the end of the day. Taking advantage of any favorable scenario is what all top gamers do, and something you must do also in order to push the game in favor of you. Now I'll just go over a few things I noticed in games I play.

MTG - Some mistakes are harder to see in magic because you don't know how bad that play hurt your opponent until you know his hand. Other are blatantly obvious such as a bad attack that leaves him vulnerable by a counter attack on your turn cause he has no/too few blockers. The list can go on and on, but the important thing is to concentrate. Paying attention to the finer details is usually a good way to spot possible ways to make the board or situation more favorable thanks to your opponents mistakes. Hopefully your opponent like to "punt" (give the game away with a bad mistake) a lot so that you can have a easier time stealing games, and trust me, this happens more than you think. But remember, no matter how bad they mess up, sometimes they get away thanks to a timely top deck.

L4D - Left 4 Dead was one of the few games I've seen where they severely punish you for mistakes (Survivor Side). The game is designed as a team effort and one survivor running around alone, rushing ahead, getting caught in bad spots, etc. can lead to the death of your whole team. A lot of times, the team winning the match comes down to your opponents making a mistake on survivor, the infected team capitalizing on it, and winning by point bonus thanks to depleting your health or killing your whole team.

Sports - Sports is a easy one as you see what happens when you mess up on TV a lot. Turnovers, interceptions, etc.

WoW - Arena is another team format where you can capitalize on your opponents mistakes. Some times your opponents will be caught in the open because of bad positioning on their part which will lead to free kills. A lot of different scenarios can happen because there is so many different classes and spells, but bad position is one I find common.



(If you suck at arena, you can always look for PUG raids - ROGUE 170HP DPS LFG)

Admitting you suck (Play Mistakes) / Avoiding them

Everyone makes play mistakes (or what we MTG nerds call misplay) including the top players in almost any game or sport you see. It just happens, no one is perfect and no one expects you to be (except asian parents). That being said, that doesn't mean you shouldn't try to prevent those mistakes from happening. The first step to getting better is accepting that you make mistakes (most of time just accepting your a noob) and trying to learn from your mistakes. If you know what you did wrong than you can just recall that scenario so you can prevent it next time. If you have trouble seeing it, ask someone who is better than you for help. This is a lot easier in Magic because you can have someone just watch a match for you and just tell you a few pointers. Just get accustomed to admitting them and NEVER think you played perfect most of the time. Chances are you didn't and your full of shit.

Besides the obvious of just learning from your mistakes, there are also a couple of ways to avoid unforced errors.

#1 - Play at your own pace (fuck your opponents). If you don't stay in a comfort zone you are comfortable with, you will end up making unforced errors. Now don't over use this idea of playing at your own pace. It's good that you move with a flow you like but you can't over do it as in the case with Magic, you can't forcefully slow play. This only truly applies in tournaments because they can call a judge over where you can get warnings and warnings lead to game losses and beyond. But still, just because some players play fast, does not mean you have to also.

#2 - Don't get overwhelmed. It's easy to panic when there is too much pressure or you get overwhelmed by too much stuff. Some common examples is double team on you in basketball. Too much combat math in Magic. Too many fucken dots and pets on you while everyone is 40% life in WoW - Arena. This is something you overcome over time as you keep playing.

#3 - Don't be scared of your opponent. This is easier said than done because when your opponent is clearly better than you, you give your opponent too much credit and give yourself too little so you end up playing horrible because of it. This concept is very true and gets even worse as your opponents get better. This concept can also potentially cause the other two I mention above to happen. This isn't true for all people but I've seen it and been the victim of it many times. It's just hard to stop it from happening because sometimes, they are just that good.

I hope this was helpful and if you find something you disagree with or something I should mention, feel free to tell me sometime. And don't worry, I suck ass and make all these mistakes too. Noobs Unite!
