congratulations operative

MAG … Massive Action Game … it is indeed all three of these.

So I was thinking of Vetting out in this game. So you know what all of this means. I’ll ‘splain (intentional)

Not that you may give a rats hind bits about it but it’s my blog so I’ll fill you in a bit. It’s a first person shooter. Meaning you see the gun you are shooting and you don’t see your avatar until your avatar dies.

Your avatar is the person that is you in the game. Avatars generally die badly in first person shooter games and their bodies twist in very uncomfortable ways. Well they would be if it were alive but they aren’t they are died (intentional).

Game - So it’s a game it is not life. I get up set when I’m not doing well but I do not throw the controller at the TV. The controller costs money and the TV costs a lot more. I’m not breaking either because some jag off feels he or she needs to cheat while playing. Lag switch, auto tracking and fire programs etc.

Action. It is a first person shooter so it is combat. You are in one of three private armies or PMC’s they are Raven, Valor or S.V.E.R.

How do you eliminate your competitors in a private army. You kill them. So the action is killing other PMC members that is action.

Massive - how big? Well 256 player big. Not in every match. The smallest is 64 players 32 v. 32. The numbers increase in each of the 6 different match types and the matches get more complex. Every avatar on the field is controlled by a real person. Every bullet fired is someone trying to kill you or save your ass. So it is really different every time. You can win by beating the other team like NARCS at a biker rally or you can fight tooth and nail until the last second. It is a lot of fun and you can talk to your squad of 8 during the matches. If you like to run and gun and be a Rambo, you will spend a lot of time dying and re spawning and running back to the battle. And it’s not the game for you, but if you like to team play and action then this is for you.

Now that I’ve explained things just a little bit you may not care anymore about it than when I started but just a bit more I play in the PMC Raven as my main avatar and my team is the DRD but I have slots in Valor and SVER as well.

And I quit thinking about the whole vetting thing the other day and vetted or went through veteran mode. Which means you start over from level 70 to level one. And you don’t get to keep any of your skills, weapons, body armor or anything.

You be a scrub again, a JEEP if you will but not a JAFO. It sucks being a peon again. I miss my .50 cal sniper rifle and dislike all the dying. But it is still fun.


In other news

Out nerding you … have you noticed that being a nerd has become a bit cool… however not with anything really substantial like science and physics but with video gaming and comics and having a basic understanding of things scientifical (man it will not let me leave it without the ly how not London Tipton)

Still in other news

I am bad enough with the grammar and spelling I will not notice some things well a lot of things but I will from time to time do something intentionally. Why because it sounds funny. And it’s snowing. I’m not into it as I have no money to play correctly in the snow.

Triple-ly in other news
