mailbag: cs friends
This is rizzuh, reporting for duty. This week's mailbag topic is quite the stupid one, but I guess you'll have to torture yourself and read on anyway. The topic is about real life friends: do some of them play CS, are you better than them, and do they cheat?

I have a friend that only plays against bots, and he thinks he is the best player in the world because he can get 50:5 against bots. He always gets his @$$ kicked at LAN parties and he gets all pissed off at us, saying that he's tired today, or other lame-ass excuses.
I don't think that's a lame-ass excuse at all! In fact I get quite tired when I play CS. Now it may be because all I do is dream about Counter-Strike and playing the game reminds me of sleep. Anyway, the point is that I don't suck at CS, I just fall asleep at the keyboard and my head hits the appropriate buttons to make me move forward and strafe and stuff.

Im better at CS then some of my friends because they dont pay much attention. Half of them dont use headphones or even speakers. I know a couple of hackers at my school and i always give them shit about it because they dont have any real skills and always whine and moan when new anti-cheat stuff comes out.
One of my friends slowly became a cheater. First it was those green and red skins. He claimed that they weren't cheats even though the models had a big "OGC" on the back. Yeah, we all know OGC makes suits for terrorists!

Anyway I went to his house recently. Since he knows I'm rizzuh and am the proverbial king of Counter-Strike he nervously shuffles around The All-Seeing Eye trying to not show me his command line. Finally I punch him four times in the face with a meat cleaver and discover that he is indeed a dirty, wallhacking, dog-loving freak. Needless to say, he can't cheat from a shallow grave!

I am a gamer, my friends are not. That's why i go 40-2 playing three of them by myself. None of them hack or cheat, but one guy does stand while playing. and he has his keyboard and mouse situated to where it feels like he's holding a gun. I always thought that was crazy.
More common than you might think:

I am better at CS than my real life friends because none of them play CS. Subsequently they all consider me a loser.
You should tell them to "stfu ffs." Problem solved.

Yes i am better than my real life firends. I was in a knife clan and we used to knife than one of my clan member decided to start cheating and teleport all over the map, he ruined our clan.
You should write a New York Times piece in the Op/Ed section about how this guy you know in real life ruined your knife clan.

Ruined your knife clan.

Maybe you should do better things with your time like buying a knife and stabbing it into your own heart as to abdicate your precious crown of loserism.

I am better at CS than my real life friends because I don't hack like they do. Therefore, my definition of "better" is being the most moral CS player. The most moral CS player? I should just pass the CS 18th Amendment to prohibit intoxication while playing CS. Then come the speakeasies...
Boy, that World War I-era humor is really working out for you, bucko.
