^ Yep. I can't do competitive FPS multiplayer anymore. Don't have the cockroach-level of reflexes required. Like you I still try from time to time and enjoy the occasional good patch, but on the whole I'm an embarrassment.

Competitive gaming is different however. More ninjas because more addicts because more incentives who play absolutely nothing other than the game in question in the hopes of becoming legitimately pro. It's very hard for me to play casually for fun - I only have fun if I'm winning.

That being said, the big test will come with DOA6. Back in the DOA4 days I was pretty good with the counter system, but that was ~12 years ago. I'm curious if I can still be as good with it as I once was.

I've just unlocked ranked mode on SC2, so once my placement matches are done I'll see how far I can climb before inevitably moving to another game.

IGN's Review Removed Due to Claims of Plagiarism
"At some point, any major journalism site is going to come into some form of issue with plagiarism. Today IGN got that when their video review of Dead Cells was, at points, word for word copies of a Boomstick Gaming YouTube review from a week earlier, and at the other points minor differences in them.
IGN has since removed their review with a notice that they are investigating the issue.
N4G's policy is to remove plagiarized content, and we have. If the source refuses to remove it or doesn't take note of it, we tend to ban them as well. Luckily, IGN has recognizing the issue and, hopefully, is taking the necessary measures to prevent it from happening again as well as recognizing the seriousness of the offense."
I just copied all of that.

Any ideas? Going cwazy over here guy.
