I Will Beat You And It Will Be Funny

[Cheesevixen]

I didn't know whether this belonged in the general gaming area or general chat...so I decided to be safe and choose general chat.

Let me explain myself a little before I ask the question. I just so happen to be a girl that loves to play video games, and I just so happen to be extremely good at the fighting games. Not in button masher way..like MK..but in an actual good way. This was a way me and all my other bf's usually connected, and I have never had any issues with it.

A couple nights ago I was playing Tekken 5 with my betrothed, and I shall you say....repetitively kicked his butt. He got so frustrated he ended up getting out of his seat and pressing the power button. So from then on I have been dumbing myself down a bit when playing fighting games with him.I know I shouldn't, but it makes him happy thinking he can beat me at such a "manly" game, lol.

Now for the questions.
*Are you a sore loser when you play vidgy games?
*Have you ever had to (or wanted to) lose so that another player (or players) would feel better?
*Do you think what happened was right?
*Do you think how it was handled was right?
*(Guys Only) Do you ever feel like doing this because you believe girls need a leg up in vidgy games?
*(Girls Only) Do you ever do this to make the guys happy?

See, I thought that this was a serious post and all, until you mentioned the fact that you beat your boyfriend in Tekken, and I immediately laughed. Anybody can win in Tekken, from my 80 year old grandma to my 3 year old shih-tzu. This is because the game encourages and rewards buttonmashing, and the very thought you menton that you good in fighting games, but not in the 'button masher' way completely contradicts the whole order of things. Anywho, I'm not here to make judgements, but if you can consistantly kick your boyfriend's ass in VF4:EVO and Third Strike, then that would be worth mentioning.

*Are you a sore loser when you play vidgy games?

It depends on the situation. If I'm sitting at home playing on xbox live or just chilling with some friends, I could care less. If worse comes to worse and I am consistantly getting beaten down by the same person, then I usually try to take a step back and figure out why that is the case, or I'll ask them for tips, since they are (most likely) on a different level in playing then I am. If it is in a tournament scene, where money/pride is on the line, then hell yeah I'm gonna try my damndest to win. If I lose, I'll probably be down on myself, but I'm never going to get upset about it. It's all about learning how to outplay your opponents.


*Have you ever had to (or wanted to) lose so that another player (or players) would feel better?

Not unless I'm really bored or just want to stop playing period. If I keep beating the player again and again, I will usually try different tactics or make an innovative strategy that I would not normally do, and if it works out, then I would add it into my strats. If someone wants to repeatedly play against me, then they want to become better, so I will give them that opportunity by doing my best against them. Who wouldn't want to get better at something?

*Do you think what happened was right?

Me beating them? Well, in a simple math equation, yes, because the world would be all kinds of screwed up if x>y just some of the time, then x<y at different times. If you are talking about in a moral acceptable standard, I think that is impossible to judge, because I think the way we see what is 'right' and what the universe sees as 'right' can be two different things.

*Do you think how it was handled was right?

Again, that is very subjective, however I will say that I wouldn't have became as good in games if I wasn't consistantly challenged and/or beaten all the time.

For the record, I will never be beaten by any girl in a shooting game, and I will never be beaten by anyone in general in the specific games of Snowboard Kids for the N64, or Soul Calibur 2 on any system. (just don't be a fag and use spawn/heihachi/link) That is just how it is.

So because I played a button masher game "in your opinion" that somehow takes away from the fact I can play well? Two completely different paragraphs and you gather that I base my whole video game experience on one night of Tekken? So much for comprehensive reading.

Maybe I didn't explain myself completely. I haven't dealt with a guy who wasn't appreciative that I could handle my own when gaming.Tekken really had nothing to do with it, but whatever. I just like being descriptive.

For the record, I will never be beaten by any girl in a shooting game

BAH! Although we will probably never witness the event; I have to scoff at such a bold comment.

See, the funny thing is as soon as one mentions the words "good", "games", "tekken", all comprehension goes out the window. This is due to the fact that any Tekken game lacks all of the above. Now that you have put yourself on the pedistal, what fighting games are you as good as you claim to be? I'm just curious.

Maybe I didn't explain myself completely. I haven't dealt with a guy who wasn't appreciative that I could handle my own when gaming.Tekken really had nothing to do with it, but whatever. I just like being descriptive.

I appreciate you taking the time to play and become a competitive female individual in the fighting game genre, and I'm being sincere. It's cool to know that you can hang with the guys. If you like tekken and are looking for a challenging yet rewarding fighting game, you should try Virtua Fighter 5, which is out on both the xbox360 and PS3.

BAH! Although we will probably never witness the event; I have to scoff at such a bold comment.

Tell you what, since I mainly play Halo 3, everytime I play a girl online, regardless of what game I'm playing, I will post the game link in this thread, and we can count up all the girls that I end up outplaying at H3. Sounds fair?

[Cheesevixen]

See, the funny thing is as soon as one mentions the words "good", "games", "tekken", all comprehension goes out the window.

That made me laugh because in part I know you are right. I, however, find a lot of joy in some "button masher" games regardless of skill. Who doesn't? Take Katamari Damacy for example.....there is no real "skill" involved, but it tickles the fancy of many.

Never heard of that game >>. I just own a PS2 lol. Pitiful, yes...but....no...there are almost no good PS2 games anymore....

I would not begin to know how to track something like that. >< You just love making things difficult. If you have a way than, deal.

Agreed. Although I like competitive games, there is nothing more fun than playing a random fun game until the wee hours of the morning. You get that sense of accomplishing absolutely nothing, but you can't get the stupid grin off your face.

Never heard of that game >>. I just own a PS2 lol. Pitiful, yes...but....no...there are almost no good PS2 games anymore....

If you ever come across the games "Virtua Fighter 4:Evolution", "Soul Calibur 2", or "Marvel vs Capcom 2", then I would urge you to buy them! You could probably get all 3 of them for less than $40. They're good games, a lot of people play them, and just having them at your home shelf instantly boosts a woman's hawtness points by like +50.

I would not begin to know how to track something like that. >< You just love making things difficult. If you have a way than, deal.

I'll give you an example link.

Halo 3 Game Details

lets see, I played vs Golden Girl and mopped the floor with her and her team. She wasn't that bad btw, her teammates sucked and I was just playing extremely well that night. Considering she thinks shes good enough to charge people to be on her friend's list, I would say that was a good win.

Haha. One more reason why Rocky is a hero amongst mere men.

Are you a sore loser when you play video games?

When I was a wee Polk, I was. Controllers were thrown, as were tantrums, blood was shed. Okay not really blood, but I had to spice this up somehow. But then I realized, ho shit, it's just a game.

Have you ever had to (or wanted to) lose so that another player (or players) would feel better?

The only good thing about playing games with others is to mercilessly taunt them when you defeat them. I don't care about your feelings. If I kick your ass at Hello Kitty Island Adventure, you better be damn sure I'm gonna let you know.

Do you think how it was handled was right?

Yes. Always. Wait what?

(Guys Only) Do you ever feel like doing this because you believe girls need a leg up in video games?

No. It's perfectly fine for girls to sit down normally when they play games.

Think about that one.

[foster kid]

Are you a sore loser when you play vidgy games? only when i know i can win and i talk so much trash that i become overconfident and lose
*Have you ever had to (or wanted to) lose so that another player (or players) would feel better? yes i have lost just so the other person could feel better... but they did the same for me so ...
*Do you think what happened was right? i don't think it was right to turn it off but i understand his male ego was hurt but still shouldn't turn the game off
*Do you think how it was handled was right? yes i think you handled it right. but just don't do it all the time just build up his confidence up and he will hopefully get better so you won't have to hold back anymore
*(Guys Only) Do you ever feel like doing this because you believe girls need a leg up in vidgy games? vidgy games!? hmm........lol... i do feel like doing it if she just can't seem to get a hold of the game. so i allow her to beat me to build up confidence then i try to show her how it is done and help anyway i can and when she gets a hold of it i take the training wheels off ...lol
well hope this helps yo

[Clint]

*Are you a sore loser when you play vidgy games?
No, it's just a game. The only reasons sore losers have temper tantrums when they lose at a video game is because they take the game far too seriously. Video games were created for leisure. Anybody who takes them so seriously that they throw tantrums over a loss needs to grow up.

*Have you ever had to (or wanted to) lose so that another player (or players) would feel better?
It's not my problem if somebody can't beat me. Although, I'm not good at video games, so I would probably be the one that somebody else was losing on purpose to.

*Do you think what happened was right?
I think what happened was a form of regression. Your fiancé, like a typical male, resorted back to childhood tantrums when things didn't go his way. Women do it too, only instead of throwing tantrums, they cry.

*Do you think how it was handled was right?
I think that your fiancé should grow up and face the fact that it's only a game. Just because he's immature, doesn't mean that you have to purposely resort to losing just to build his low self-esteem... Jesus, I'm kind of mean.

*(Guys Only) Do you ever feel like doing this because you believe girls need a leg up in vidgy games?
Anybody can play video games. It's not restricted to one sex or the other. There isn't much skill involved in pressing buttons on a controller to make a little virtual character do tricks.

[foster kid]

tell something , what is wwe smackdown vs raw classified as? fighting? or does it have its own catagory

[loaf]

Well it all depends on what game and who I'm playing with.

If I am honestly playing with my friends, I wont throw a match for them (if lets say we are playing a fighting game). I have played games with girls I know, and I never really threw the match, I may have gone a bit easier on them.

I can go into a situation though on a game someone got mad at that I was winning. Also to keep it short, I'll make it short. Friend got mad at me because he thought he was better then me at a game he actually plays, since I don't own a 360...I still won, he got mad turned the console off and walked outside lol. Now first off I will tell someone that, if I get a chance to play ANY game, I will be good at it in time. I think it went well, his fault for overreacting.

Another moment I had to lose a game to make someone not mad. Simple as it sounds, it can be hard to throw anything in terms of a match. In Jedi Academy while doing trials for people wanting to join, you were told to throw a match for some people to see how they do...let me tell you, it's hard as hell to throw a match while trying to make it look like you are trying to win. Or in a fighting game, I have thrown a match to yes a girl once. I told her, she got a kick out of it.

I don't think anyone needs a leg up in video games. Anyone can get good at them, or at least decent. If I'm playing a game with a girl and she doesn't really play and wants to and asks me to stop kicking her ass, I will.

[foster kid]

im a freakin bad a$$ on smackdown vs raw so it is real hard for me to take it easy on anyone

[Azuteor]

Are you a sore loser when you play video games?

I used to. I didn't like how people accused me of screen looking and cheating regardless if I did it or not. I admit I did a little screen looking now and then. My friends and I would get a little testy with each other. There were times when my team would constantly lose to the opposing team that we eventually got bored and wanted to go home.

As we matured, it got less and less. We enjoy the time we have being with friends and scream as much as we want to. I try to avoid competitive games, but they don't pose a problem when we play fairly and respect each others ability.

Have you ever had to (or wanted to) lose so that another player (or players) would feel better?

It doesn't really help the other person by doing that. It would be better to offer advice and practice so the player will improve in time.

I had this happen to me before when I wasn't doing so well in games like Halo 3, heck even in sports! It's not a good thing to do. I enjoy working with another person than going against them.

Do you think what happened was right? Do you think how it was handled was right?

I'm not so sure exactly. You and I may have a different opinion of right and wrong.

All I can say is give him advice and inform him of how you play the game. If there comes a time that your loved one is frustrated, pause the game, and take a break.

Do you ever feel like doing this because you believe girls need a leg up in video games?

I did at one time, but it never worked out as I thought it would. I figured the reason is because I undermined her ability as a player. I actually like it when a girl goes out of her way to play video games. I think it's awesome!

[RamesesII]

*Are you a sore loser when you play vidgy games?

Yes i can be at times when i have worked so hard to finish a race or so close to winning a fight a one small little thing slips me up and i lose i go mental sometimes other times i just shrug it off.

*Have you ever had to (or wanted to) lose so that another player (or players) would feel better?

No not generally if i am a better player than someone i am versing. I usually give them a few hints and them out a bit maybe give them a few secrets or two hoping that might help them out.

*Do you think what happened was right?

No to both parties, i don't think your partner should have cracked the shits after all it is only a video game. My wife kicks my ass at some games and it doesn't worry me. Although it i is in a males nature to be dominant and they feel threatened when females overpower them just like when a female is the main bread earner in the family some men feel threatened and jealous because it is a mans instincts to provide for his family. And i don't think you should have dumbed down for him, a woman should not have to dumb down for a mans benifit at all.

*Do you think how it was handled was right?

Your partner could have not been such a sore loser like i said before it is just a game and so what if a woman is better than him he should be proud that he has a wife that is bloody good at video games and kick a mans ass in a fighting game lol.

*(Guys Only) Do you ever feel like doing this because you believe girls need a leg up in video games?

No i don't but sometimes i am jealous if i think i am good at a game and some one comes along and beats me but that will only make me work harder at becoming better. And After all there is always someone better than ourselves out there.

*Are you a sore loser when you play video games?
No. Why should I be? The person I played won fair and square, and I will always have another chance to kick their ass. Afterall, it IS just a game.

*Have you ever had to (or wanted to) lose so that another player (or players) would feel better?
Pfft, no! If I can help it, I go for the win. At the end of the day, it can only go two ways - you win or you lose. It doesn't matter if I lose - and so it shouldn't matter to anyone else who plays.

*Do you think what happened was right?
In your case you mean? Hell no! He was in the wrong, and you should have continued to mash his ass. Eventually, he would win and be all in your face about it.

Haha, he acted like my brother when he loses a game. XD

*Do you think how it was handled was right?
No lol. See above.

*(Girls Only) Do you ever do this to make the guys happy?
Guys and girls should be treated the same when playing games. It is just a game, and if a guy or a girl wins, good on them! None of this... guy vs girl crap. Girls make good enough players as it is... maybe even better than guys...

For the record, I will never be beaten by any girl in a shooting game.

Hah! Play me, and you'll have to edit that post! How about it Cheesevixen? Shall we taken him on?

[loaf]

I'm stepping in, I am better then Rocky, my title says it.

2v2, me and Rocky vs you 2, give a game and you will lose at it.

[Maridia]

Are you a sore loser when you play video games?
Not really, I'm actually very good at games when I buckle down and play them and can roll with the best especially in fps' and Madden. But no when I go down I get mad if it's not my night but I won't make excuses like some people

Have you ever had to (or wanted to) lose so that another player (or players) would feel better?
I used to as a kid for my brother. I would kick his ass in Halo and Goldeneye alot and he'd be screaming throwing shit across the room so I would shoot but shoot really slow and strafe around blindfiring to make it seem like he was evading me well.

Do you think what happened was right?
Now that I look at it no, but he at one point got on a high horse about his skills and I told him and he didn't believe me so I reenacted what I would always do and he ripped the game out of the Xbox and hasn't played me at a game to this day

Do you think how it was handled was right?
For either of us? No, he's too high strung so he gets mad about stuff that people should brush off. And as for me no I should have always been kicking his ass at games, though I wasn't so competitive so that's why I didn't care if I lost cause I still knew I was good when it came down to it.

(Guys Only) Do you ever feel like doing this because you believe girls need a leg up in video games
No, if someone is new to a game I'll ge easy male or female cause they don't know it. But once things are in motion I'll come full force and whatever happens happens. Girls can be just as good as guys, I mean games are all about reflexes and control. Some of the top players in Halo are a couple girls so yeah, everyone gets an equal shot, just gotta want it bad enough.

[Fluffy]

Are you a sore loser when you play vidgy games?

No. Win or lose, I had a good time. I'll also try to see why I'm losing and what I can do to improve. If I can't figure it out, I'll ask to see if they know why I'm losing. And it's not as fun if you're always winning. The most fun games are played against people of about equal skill, when each player could either win or lose. It's the actual playing that makes it fun; the end result of winning just makes it a little more satisfying.

Have you ever had to (or wanted to) lose so that another player (or players) would feel better?

No. If they're that much worse than me, I'll give them tips instead. Giving someone a goal to reach is, in my opinion, much better. In the case of me being better than someone, beating me is that goal. They can see how much better I am if I play at my best. They can see how much they need to improve. I'll help them to know what they can do to close the gap if they need that help.

Do you ever feel like doing this because you believe girls need a leg up in vidgy games?

Male, female, both, neither, old, young. Doesn't matter. Put the effort in and you'll get results.

[Furore]

Are you a sore loser when you play video games?

Not normally, as I tend to be mediumly skilled these days. I used to be better, but I don't get as much time to game these days so my skill level's dropped from lack of practice. The exception is when a winner starts acting like an asshole for an extended period of time which is why I LOVE playing games in the same room as the person I'm playing with. Last time I was playing Halo 3 co-op with my mate, he acted the asshole and kept shooting guys on our side til they turned on us while he was out of the area. I asked him to stop a few times and then punched his shoulder that hard he couldn't use his left analog too well.

Good times.

Have you ever had to (or wanted to) lose so that another player (or players) would feel better?

I have a few times, usually with younger relatives.

Do you think what happened was right?

Yeah, so long as everyone's having fun, it's all good. When people get too serious about gaming victory I really start to wonder about them. It was a big thing when we were all kids, but now?

Do you think how it was handled was right?

Yeah. Being too competitive lowers group enjoyment half the time, especially when someone won't shut up and starts slinging uncopious amounts of abuse. Luckily xbl has that beloved mute feature.

Do you ever feel like doing this because you believe girls need a leg up in video games?

I think *some* girls need a leg up, just as I feel some guys do. And I know some girl gamers who can hand me my ass, especially at Street Fighter or other games where skinnier more dexiterous hands are a definete advantage when stringing combos.

On the plus side, we play SFIV now and since I'm the only one who's handled a 360 controller for so long I seem to have the current advantage. So long as whoever's xbox we play on has Cammy unlocked. I'm also decent with Vega though I've found...

[Bleachfangirl]

*Are you a sore loser when you play vidgy games?
I accept easily enough, but depending on the other person's attitude and reaction, I can get plenty mad. I know very well that I am a horrible fighting game player, so it doesn't usually bother me too much if I lose. It can't be helped if every other person in the world is better than me. If my opponent ends up dissing me over the losses or bragging too much though, I kind of go ape shit and swear them out. So if you're not at least a little nice or modest when you win, don't play with me. -.-

*Have you ever had to (or wanted to) lose so that another player (or players) would feel better?
This isn't usually a situation I come across, unless the game is Katamari Damaci or Guitar Hero. If the other player isn't that good and feels bad about it, I'll give them some advice about how to play, and go easier. Winning isn't an important thing to me when it comes to video games, so if the other person gets really down, I'll just lose.

*Do you think what happened was right?
Yes if it's someone letting someone else win to help make them feel better and giving them tips. No if it's someone being a jerk about winning or a sore loser.

If we're talking about your situation though, then I'd say your boyfriend is too competitive. Unless you were trash talking him and being mean about your victory, he shouldn't have been so dramatic about the whole thing.

*Do you think how it was handled was right?
For your situation, sure. It's what I would have done in that case, since there seems to be nothing else you could have done to make him feel better.

*(Girls Only) Do you ever do this to make the guys happy?
Only if they're being really depressed about it, which they usually aren't. The guys just get more competitive and make me play with them for hours until they've won. In cases like that, I don't give even a little, because I get caught up in their spirit too. It's my female friends that end up saying they suck and getting mopey about losing too many times, and I do let them win if I can't cheer them up otherwise.

[Angantyr]

Are you a sore loser when you play vidgy games?
I'm not competative, I've never had the motivation to "own" people unless they do something that really annoys me. On example would be on WoW: I saw an Alliance Mage on my Horde Rogue who was much lower level than me so I left them alone. 5 Minutes later I see they ganked a lvl 18 Hunter, never saw them again but if I did I would have ganked them.

However last night in a different area a paladin came and tried to gank me but I escaped. He came back later but got me so I logged onto my 80 Warlock and went to the Alliance town and camped him... logged out and 5 hours later when I logged back in I saw his corpse still there. Teach him to touch my alt.

Have you ever had to (or wanted to) lose so that another player (or players) would feel better?
Yeah, if they can keep up with me I will do something to gimp myself or what not.

Do you think what happened was right?
Yeah its understandable.

Do you think how it was handled was right?
Why wouldn't it be?

(Guys Only) Do you ever feel like doing this because you believe girls need a leg up in vidgy games?
I don't think gender matters, going back to WoW theres a few females in my guild and they're just as capable as everybody else. I think the only thing is most people don't see girls as gamers in general but I feel it depends on the person not the gender.

[Heartless Angel]

I play video games with my GF all the time, I seriously thought the world was coming to an end when I found a girl who liked video games, didn't look like a walrus, AND wasn't a lesbian! (I have nothing against lesbians, they just don't make good girlfreinds for a male, for obvious reasons) I can't even remember how many times I started falling for a girl and found out she was a lesbian. Anyways, She's a hardcore gamer, competes in torunaments and all that. And we're both extremely competitive. It makes for entertaining game nights when a fighting game is selected.

*Are you a sore loser when you play vidgy games?

This depends entirely on how the game is won. If it was a good match and I lost because my opponent was better than I am, no. If my opponent spams one attack and button mashes, and wins like 10 in a row this way, then yeah, I'll begin to get a bit pissed.

*Have you ever had to (or wanted to) lose so that another player (or players) would feel better?

USUALLY I don't have to, because the only person I'd feel such sympathy for is my GF, who is good enough to not need mercy from me to win a match. Any of my other friends, I have nothing against perfect-killing until doomsday.

*Do you think what happened was right?

What, you winning? Or him throwing a tantrum over it? A few yeas ago I'd say losing to a girl was a disturbance in the natural order, but since then I've met several good female gamers, and changed this belief. As for his tantrum, no.

*Do you think how it was handled was right?

Definately not. If he felt pathetic for losing to a girl, he REALLY should've felt lame for throwing a tantrum over it. Seriously, my 11 year old sister has grown out of that phase already...

*(Guys Only) Do you ever feel like doing this because you believe girls need a leg up in vidgy games?

Not really. Most of the girls I hang out with are either, not gamers, or great gamers. However, if I AM on a massive winning streak, I'll start losing, but it's not so much that I throw matches, as I start screwing around because I no longer feel as though I need to play seriously. This usually results in me losing a few.

*(Girls Only) Do you ever do this to make the guys happy?

Though I'm not a girl, I asked my gf what her thoughts on the matter were. She responded, and I quote, "No ****in way! Why should I throw matches to compensate for your massive quantities of fail?", I lol'd.

[Xanatos]

*Are you a sore loser when you play vidgy games?

I used to be a sore loser, not anymore though. Days of swearing like hillbilly and throwing controllers are behind me, now it's almost impossible to see me with a grim face now matter which way or how much I lose.

*Have you ever had to (or wanted to) lose so that another player (or players) would feel better?

Never, when it comes to the games I'm ruthless. I don't show any sympathy nor mercy for anyone, that's the same treatment I expect when I play against players better than me.

*Do you think what happened was right?

No, not really. I should know that the best since I used to be like that. It's never really good to react dramatically, if anything else it's good thing to lose to a better player, after all we can learn something from that loss which can only help us to be a better gamer.

*Do you think how it was handled was right?

The worst thing is to give your opponent some slack only because he can't handle a loss, that's way you should keep the same, beating him until he gets better.

*(Guys Only) Do you ever feel like doing this because you believe girls need a leg up in vidgy games?

As I said, I never feel sympathy for another player regardless of players skill and gender. I know some girls that are better than me in some games, take for example my sister, she can beat the shit out of me in Tekken or Soulcalibur.

I sometimes find myself playing up to the female stereotype of being crap at games around men. But that's just because I'm a floozy.

*Are you a sore loser when you play vidgy games?
I'll admit, I do sometimes get a little upset when I lose, but not that often. The only time I'm a serious sore loser is when I'm playing sports games against my friends and we get too competitive and whenever I lose i end up getting mad. On a side note about this, I know a friend of mine who used to play an older baseball game for PS2 (MVP 05 if I remember correctly) a lot with his bro alot, and whenever he'd lose 70% of the time he'd throw the controler at his bro and almost end up getting into a fist fight with him, and when they do get into fist fights, sometimes their mom gets involved in the fight to try and break them up. I've seen it happen between them once and I try so hard not to laugh at it.

*Have you ever had to (or wanted to) lose so that another player (or players) would feel better?
Yes I have, I remember a couple times I was playing Soulcalibur 3 with my younger cousin, and he wasn't that good at the game so I purposely let him perfect me a couple times and would also purposely "ring out" myself and just lie to him and say that my hand slipped, or the controls got stuck or something.

*Do you think what happened was right?
Yeah, except for the part about me lying to my cousin

*Do you think how it was handled was right?
Yes, I believe so, in my opinion. In the last question, my younger cousin would always like to win, it gives him something to be happy about and he wouldn't get mad at me when he'd lose.

*(Guys Only) Do you ever feel like doing this because you believe girls need a leg up in vidgy games?
Not really, unless they are fairly new to gaming and need some tips or additional help on controls or other assistance.

My ex used to get such a kick out of sniping me in Halo before I even knew wtf was going on. I'd let her kill me a majority of the time though. I'd let her win in fighting games a lot too.

I think from a guy's perspective I'd love to be challenged by a girl I'm in a relationship with in a video game, any game as long as it's fun. But yes, I've gimped myself on purpose to let a girlfriend win.

Friends, however, get no mercy, ever. I'm highly competitive, in any game, any setting, any environment, including life, school, careers, ect.
