A: YIP

B: I'M JUST KIND OF CURIOUS WHAT IS ABOUT FPS GAMES THAT YOU DIDN'T LIKE SINCE THE VERY BEGINNING AND UNTIL NOW YOU STILL KIND OF DISLIKE

A: I REALLY DON'T KNOW THE WAY THAT YOU SHOULD UH HAVE ACCURACY ON THE ON SHOOTING THINGS AND SHOOTING PEOPLE AND UH MY ACCURACY IS NOT MY BEST SKILL TO ACTUALLY DEVELOP I'VE I'M MORE INTO LIKE TACTICAL AND STRATEGY THINKING AND FORMULATING A UNIQUE WAY OR ANOTHER AY ANOTHER WAY TO ACTUALLY KILL AN ENEMY

B: MM HMM

A: SO THAT'S WHY I ALWAYS USE CLOSE RANGE WEAPON LIKE A SHOTGUN AND EVEN USE LONG RANGE WEAPON AS A CLOSE RANGE WEAPON

B: MM HMM

A: LIKE CAMPING ON <DTMF> NOW NO WAY THAT THE ENEMIES CAN THINK OF UH LIKE UH SO UNCANNY THAT THEY CAN DIE FOR IT LITERALLY ON JUST ONE SIMPLE MISTAKE IF YOU'RE NOT LOOKING INTO A CORNER OR NOT ACTUALLY PAYING ATTENTION SO THAT'S WHY I LOVE STRATEGY GAMES LIKE LEAGUE OF LEAGUE OF LEGENDS YOU DON'T USE ACCURACY BUT THERE'S A SKILL SHOT THAT I USE

B: MM HMM

A: ALWAYS CHAMPIONS THAT MORE ON SKILL SHOTS BUT THEY FULLY REV REVOLVE AROUND UH CALL CLOSE COMBAT LIKE ZAC FOR EXAMPLE

B: MM HMM

A: THAT'S WHY I ALWAYS USE TANKA AND I AM THE FRONTLINER BECAUSE I ALWAYS MISS MY SHOTS LAUGHS AND THAT'S WHY I HATE THE FPS BECAUSE I HASTE I HATE ACCURACY GAME I HATE THEM

B: YEAH I UNDERS AND I I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU MEAN LIKE IT'S IT'S WEIRD THAT YOU HAVE TO UM IT'S MORE OF LIKE A GAME WHERE IT IT INVOLVES YOUR MOTOR SKILLS WHERE IT

A: MM

B: YEAH

A: SEEMS LIKE DIFFERENT CHARACTERS DIFFERENT SKILLS I LIKE THIS ACCURACY MMM IT IT IT

B: I MEAN THERE'S A THERE'S A BIT OF ACCURACY NEEDED

A: MM

B: BUT AT THE SAME TIME IT'S MORE OF LIKE COMMUNICATION BETWEEN TEAMMATES AND THE STRATEGY BETWEEN ALL OF THREE OF YOU WHEN TO WHEN TO PUSH WHEN TO JUST STAY BACK AND WHEN TO HEAL

B: MM

A: WHEN TO STAY QUIET IT'S ACTUALLY A VERY GOOD STRATEGIC GAME RATHER THAN ACTUALLY JUST DEPENDING ON ACCURACY MAYBE IN THE END WHEN THERE'S ONLY LIKE THREE TO TWO SQUADS LEFT ACCURACY IS KIND OF IMPORTANT BUT IN IN THE BEGINNING WHERE EVERYBODY'S JUST TRYNA STAY ALIVE THE STRATEGY IS REALLY HARD TO THINK ABOUT SO UM SPEAKING OF GAMES WHAT IS IT WHAT CA WHAT GAME CAN YOU SAY HAD MADE A REALLY GREAT IMPACT IN YOUR LIFE
