Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, Overwhelming Odds

It makes me miss my bros. usually a game this good, we would be watching one of us finish and play it. Sometimes we play coop, ideally.

My criticisms of the game are...
The amount of people I'm fighting are incredibly unrealistic.
The computer can see me far faster than I can see my enemies

But I do admit it was overwhelmingly fun. It was frustrating because, I'm fighting 1:3-5 people at a time. The trigger happiness of the game play was giving me over-stimulation flashes making me harder to sleep.

in Airsoft, 10-20% force difference is already a big deal. So it is the same in real warfare and my books. It can make someone overestimate their abilities, which is a Very Very dangerous thing in Airsoft, Milsim, or real combat.

Overwhelming Odds. Its not that I don't want people to be ambitious, but overwhelming odds are not meant to be challenged directly. Sure they make good stories, but when one gets into the habit of using brute force and direct and decisive confrontations in such odds, the stand to lose more than that just whats on the line. Failing yourself changes you, the energy and enthusiasm needed to enjoy life can be compromised.

"Never get into a decisive battle with yourself, always fight the shadowing/small fights" - me

Never underestimate the capacity of screwing yourself royally. Always hedge against your weaknesses. its better to lose small fights against yourself, you lose less, learn work a better strategy next time, but to lose so BIG that you can't afford to fail leads to a change of character people cannot escape from.

One of the interesting things about cognitive Studies is that I learned what we think we are capable of and our Honesty affects us so much, because even subconsciously we seek consistency. If we act like an ass enough, we escalate to being more of an ass. Especially when goals are hindered by personal barriers.

As irrational honesty is or thinking one's self as honest, we can have worse priorities or self-labels. In Art of Critical Decision making by Prof. M. Roberto, Lecture 16: Achieving Closure through Small Wins............................................................. 38 is one of my favorite.

That small part of myself or anyone. That very small part that organizes, uses diplomacy, thinks things through, tries to meet people halfway, etc. That small part is too small to fight Big Battles.

Note that it can't get big, the bigger it gets the less pleasure you get out of irrationalities in life.

Technically I'm done with the project

no charter . after learning what a charter is and because they don't work with a charter I'll never do a project without it. A charter is a written agreement with a project sponsor/employer/ in what outputs to be expected and what points are needed to consider a project done. I've never worked with a character before and was continually frustrated and depressed because of constant revisions and fluctuating tastes and expectations. I'd rather be thought of a total prick than to destroy my life working without a charter. This comes up because, when technically my dad removed me from the website project I'm being asked to arrange it again. This fuels my wishes, not to mention memories of unbearable depressions, to really leave the company I just joined in 2 months. Honestly, I'm here cause my parents want me. They can't make me want this job. I was doing well in the 3d artist track, I was poor but well, less stressed and still hopeful of my future. Personally,

Gurps Mysteries

A really great GM book . If there was Game Mastering for Dummies (not just for DnD or GURPS ), Gurps Mysteries is the next level of Advanced Game Mastering. This is where the players grow up a little, they are not as interested in Hack and Slash anymore and they begin to lean on a more cerebral challenge. One of the best elements of this books is how to communicate clearly to your players through clues and hints in the game. Despite its focus on mystery, this books i great for any intrigue. Eventually mastering these technqies, format, and story telling will allow for games to have a very clear and sophisticated finish. An art onto itself, and not just a game. Of course the most important element is having fun. Fun is when you and the players are on the same page no matter what you throw at them to challenge their characters and give them a chance to shine. Filled with too much information . I'm excited at what I learned about armor smithing in the early Renaissance and late

330mg of Caffeine will do the trick

Ok i got a grande brewed coffee and put 8-10 packets of brown sugar thats about 155 calories. This is twice the amount of Caffeine i get from my 2 shots of espresso in the morning with 4 teaspoons of brown sugar. How do i feel... Better! although my face is reeling from the bitter after taste of the coffee. good coffee is really sour going down and really bitter after. The intense sugar tends to make the sourness taste fruity. Anyway, my is elevated and I'm a bit hyper but i am able to control that better these days. The tons of notebook and the emotional intelligence studies help. Particularly when i've broken down most of my peculiarities and the way I think. Heck, I think i can make an entire wiki based on how I'd react to certain things. It would be very revealing and transparent of me, and of course like the anything so vulnerable subject to abuse when falling in the wrong hands. I have to email, a friend back some airsoft details.
