  1. I have my good days and bad days. Sometimes when I fire up TF 2, Planetside 2, or Red Orchestra, I'm "in the zone" and annihilating everybody. Other times it seems that I can't do anything but die. I'm not a bad player but by no means am I fantastic. Now if I was to deathmatch some of the kids today in Doom, Unreal Tournament, or Quake, they would be in trouble. To this day I'm still better at older shooters than newer ones. Same genre, but entirely different gameplay. Don't discount yourself as an FPS guy because of CoD or TF2; even those two games are radically different.

     

    My gaming preferences are eclectic. Real-time and turn-based strategy games are both my cup of tea, and I enjoy more relaxing puzzle/thinking games like Myst (try Myst!). Both western and Japanese RPGs appeal to me, but which I prefer is mood-dependant.

     

    There are lots of things you've yet to play if I'm to assume that list is comprehensive. Keep trying new things and you may yet find your niche.

     

    One thing I know for sure, TF2 skill will never come from other FPS game skills.

  2. Your library got removed? That's some crap, man. You should protest or at least talk to your principal.

    I tried, here was me.

     

    Me: Why are you guys removing libraries for the pre school?

    Librarian: Because they already raised the funds and they want to bring in more publicity..

    Me: It wont work, if kindergarten didnt work for publicity, this wont for sure

    My friend: Yea! **** Computers! Its boring in there!

    Me: I know right! Dude, she doesnt even let us talk thats the most bad part

    Librarian: Well sorry they accepted it, and now im gonna be assigned to a diff. task

    Me: awwwwwww, well i will keep my library card tho as a memory!

    My friend: Well this sucks

    Me: Yea. Anyway, bye. We are gonna go out for recess

     

    (yes, im 13 years old, im in 8th grade not high school, i can imagine a high school w/ no library)

  3. This is a very small sample size, and it is mostly one genre:

     

    Minecraft - you're bad at the parts that are most like an FPS. Getting better at building comes from practice and looking at what other people build. Redstone is the hardest part of the game for most people, and you seem to be good at that.

     

    Call of duty - FPS

     

    Terraria - I haven't actually played it, but apparently death is fairly common

     

    Team Fortress 2 - FPS

     

    Dota 2 - MOBA is just an extremely hard genre to get the hang of, let alone be good at. It's normal to suck at them, I've been playing LoL for almost 2 years and I still suck pretty bad, and LoL is WAY easier than DOTA.

     

    Portal 2 - Puzzle games aren't for everyone. Also, FPS style interface

     

    Socom - FPS

     

    Windows Pinball - IIRC it's and FPS

     

     

    So try something other than FPS's. Strategy is always great, and games like Civilization or Alpha Centauri are very slow paced, all about strategy, while you have you RTS's like Starcraft which are quite fast paced.

    Try some RPGs, like Fallout or Elder Scrolls (I recommend Fallout 2 and Morrowind, respectively). KotoR is another great PC RPG.

     

    Portal 2 is the only puzzle game that confuses me. Not joking.

  4. I'm actually known at school for being ridiculously skilled at pretty much everything having to do with hand-eye coordination/things similar to video games. I play "Osu!" in school, and people freak out over how well I do.

     

    Example of gameplay I can do:

     

    Now, keep in mind that I don't get as high of a percentage as that player... But still. People find me to be on cocaine or something.

     

     

    Maybe you're just more of a classic gamer. NES and SNES games? Or perhaps something more slower paced and more along the lines of strategical? Try things out like that. 

     

    I've tried NES and  SNES games, im bad at all of them :P
