I did it, I learned a new way to lose at Planetside 2. I don't believe it's "new," as in brand new, but I've never done it before. Take a look.

No. No, no, no. I am NOT getter better. I went on for an hour or so yesterday and it was a slaughter. Let me regale you in my tales of woe.

Last night I played for over an hour and did... actually not that bad. I again followed a large herd of Republicans across the map. Here's the breakdown of how I did.

I figured out how to live longer - avoid firefights. Really! It works wonders. Feel free to use that advice in your real life, too. I recently was playing for 40 minutes and died but once. I think I fired off a total 65 rounds the whole time because I managed to blend in with a huge TR movement from base to base. Until, that is, I didn't.

That wasn't fair. I killed him, but he didn't die. He killed me, and I died. In what world is this fair?

Screw you

If any of you answered Auraxis, congrats - you are absolutely right.

Damn it.

This has nothing to do with sucking at Planetside 2. Instead, it has everything to do with bad luck, or at least bad timing.

With the leader boards up again I have validation for this blog at last. Witness:

I suck.

Look at the players with scores near mine on my server's score board. Now, look at the kills to death ratio. 10.3, 28.5, 22.6, 21.0, 11.5, etc. Then look at mine. 0.4.

What the freaking HELL?! How am I so bad at this game? It just baffles the mind. In any event, I now have full validation to run this blog. I am, officially, a terrible Planetside 2 player.

Yay.

For those who missed my most recent live game, here's what you missed: I didn't suck. Really! I know, it undermines everything this blog stands for. I'm sure I'll do better at doing bad next time - intentionally or not.

For public record: I do have OK times in Planetside 2. Really. Here, click to the full post and look at this.

I plan on doing a short livestream in a while. Follow me on Twitch.tv to find out when it starts.

Edit: I did it, and you (probably) missed it. Don't worry, I'll do it again.

I'm dedicating this blog to my lack of skills. For fun I'm going to run this blog while I attempt to not suck at Planetside 2. Hopefully as I play I'll get better and be able to either retire this blog or rebrand it as "I live! Planetside 2 Pandemonium." We'll see if that happens. In the mean time, enjoy my failure. Have fun!

Just for clarification, this is a fun blog and not a whining blog. If I start whining, let me know so I can get back to entertaining you guys. Of course it's not a winning blog either but hopefully we're going to change all that.

My main is a Terran Republic dude and my favorite class is heavy assault. I honestly don't know if that's a good or bad combination. At any rate, Budman (my character's name) and I will try and learn to not suck at Planetside 2. You're welcome to come along for the ride.

Just be ready to bail at any minute - this is a live-fire exercise.
