SG Olympic update 10/14

I suck.

No, really. I got my ass handed to me last night. In the MW2 game, the only kill I had was a betrayal! :(

We won 2 of our 6 games. *sigh*

I'm not really a 'depressed' person and I don't really go for the whole negative self-efficacy thing, but around 15 minutes into the 2 hours of games last night, I just wanted to quit and go to bed. I couldn't pull my head out to catch a breath.

I'm planning ways to get effectively yet pleasantly hammered for the games tonight. Any suggestions?

Seasoned Gamers is a community of gamers. It professes to be one for the 'fun-loving' crowd, but you can't get away from the fact that it's primarily made up of good gamers. There are a few SG'ers that I regularly play with, but they're on the same skill level as I am and we get matched up with people of similar skill. Compared to other games, the Halo matchmaking system works really well.

As far as SG events go, they do a lot of work to make teams even, but 'even' means every team has 1 or 2 really good players, 1 or 2 middle level players, and then the actually casual players. So the casual players get stomped by the good players. It gets very frustrating.

There is one SG organization called the Cap League. It uses a handicapping system to even out the teams even more. I think I'll just stick to that one from now on.

Of course, I've said that during some point in every SG event...

Here's a picture:
