Oh, hey.
Man did it take some time to get used to. I played it on my gf's brothers computer, never thought about buying it or ever playing it but he said it was fun so I gave it a go.

Started off very frustrating, I was thinking ill time my shots rather then being full auto to keep accuracy, didn't work. Basically it all about spraying and just aiming at people's legs. Well, at least its what I started doing and it ended up with me going positive and winning arms race games.

But honestly, even though its pretty fun, its not something I ever thought would cost $15. I always thought it was $5 or less. I was totally down to buy it for $5 but at $15 there's not really a chance for me to get it. Ill wait for a sale (If its a game that goes on sale, ever.) And no, I know its about $5 on G2A but I'm never buying from there, too shady. Not worth the "discount".

Any of you play CS:GO? I'd love to play with you guys and maybe learn a thing or two. There are a lot of aspects I don't get, so some help would be nice.

The fact that your cross hair can be dead center on somebodies chest and you can still miss makes me not play it

Yeah it is pretty damn annoying, but I started just accepting the crosshair is bullshit unless your ADS on certain guns (which is so great) and just shooting at the lower body at mid range. Close range the crosshair is reliable

I played 1.6 at school a bit but I haven't really played any of the other CS games outside of that.

The jank aiming mechanics and weapon purchase system don't float my boat tbh.

Each gun has to be handled a very specific way; it seems random, but it actually is consistent.

In terms of content, it's pretty barebones, but the gameplay attracts a huge audience.  You'll spend so much of your time on de_dust2.

I'm not really good, but I like it.  I only (sometimes) know what I'm talking about because my roommates were really competitive players.

If I'm not here, I'm doing photography. Or I'm asleep. Or in lockdown. One of those three, anyway.

The current titlebar/avatar setup is just normal.
All I've learnt from watching my brother play is the first shot of the AK is on target, then it goes left-right in the next 2 shots...

...then you should aim at the floor and go full auto.

That, and the bullshit AWP, is why I let my brother play.

So... I guess I'm going to have to pick up after your horrendous mistakes on here too?
I kinda always wanted to try it.

Another competitive shooter is always my cup of tea. Although I see it 110% pointless for skins to be so rare, that people are willing to pay thousands for it.
