QOTD 23: I'm going to kick your ass...At Nintendo!

By Unknown
Howdy Otters (BTW the Blog Otters "crew" for GTA: Online is in the works), but for now lets talk about things we're good at.

Thus:

What is something you are certain you're better at than 'most' people? 



 I'm not a super confident fellah, but I do think I have some skills to pay the bills regarding silly things like Madden Football and general trivia games like You Don't Know Jack. I'm also hyper competitive about these as well - if someone thinks they're better then me, I make a point to prove they're not.

    Bowling. I normally carry around a 218, not great but definitely better than most.

    The Smackdown vs. RAW games, especially the first one, SvR06 and SvR07. A gentleman named Delriach and myself tore the online community a new asshole on a daily basis. While they were hitting people with six Spears and then trying to pin, we were actually WRESTLING people, the way the game was meant to be played. We meticulously edited all of our movesets to be as realistic as possible and went about killing other players with fairness and creativity. We'd always do two vs. two elimination tag, so once someone was beaten, the other team member would have a chance to rally and "overcome the odds." My favorite memories of those games are when I'd get beaten by a cheap motherfucker, then I'd watch in awe as Delriach would come back and beat both of the lame bastards by himself.

    Yeah, those WWE games are like 50000x better when you're playing folks who want to have a good match and also win. I'll say it again, Booking Revolution nails the "Have a good match" versus "win a match" thing.

    I always play the same way, in an actual manner like a true WWE match (start with the quicker grapples working my way to power/sig moves as I wear them down, varying my grapple moves, mixing in holds, etc.); wish I had a player like you to go against online for those games.

    Grey Goose, Jameson, and Tanguray are the only liquors I'll touch (great thing about working at a bar is getting top shelf booze for well drink prices), outside of that I just drink beer.


    Are you talking about the clear Cuervo or the dark one? I've never had the clear, but just the smell of the dark one makes me nauseous. Tequila just doesn't agree with my stomach.

    Video games that I'm pretty ace at for sure: 2D Sonic, Madden, and Tony Hawk. I can run through Sonic 1/2/3 & Knuckles consecutively without losing a life.


    Spelling is another: at my elementary school, I still am the only one who's won multiple spelling bees (and I did it back-to-back) and was just two regional rounds shy of going to Washington DC.


    Trivia, esp. pop culture: movies, sports, celebs, music, etc. Those are the Jeopardy type of categories I'd sweep easily on, and at my old workplace, co-workers would try to test me with Six Degrees of Separation (linking two random actors by movies like Cary Grant to Miley Cyrus...if you're wondering, he was in An Affair To Remember with Deborah Kerr, who was in Casino Royale (1967) with Woody Allen, who was in Antz with Christopher Walken who was in Pulp Fiction with John Travolta, who was in Bolt with Miley Cyrus).

    Honestly, I don't even really like Jameson, but seeing as how I hate corned beef and cabbage it's the only thing I can do to keep my Irish card from getting revoked. Well, that or Guinness, but if I'm having a beer I want a beer, not alcoholic coffee-flavored pudding.

    I used to play in Street Fighter tournaments and was upper-mid in the tournament scene with a couple wins over some champions so that makes me better than like 99.9% of the population. Before I left college I was getting really into SF4 but then getting a job and moving away from good competition got in the way. Even out of practice I could still probably beat the overwhelming majority of the population just on residual skills right now though.


    But I maintain that I'm the best in the world at random obscure puzzle games. Old arcade games like Puzzle Bobble or Magical Drop 3. Nobody has ever beaten me at those games. I used to challenge people for money matches at game tournaments and never lost.

Also I played basketball at very high level as a teenager and now play in men's leagues with former d 1 guys etc and yeah I'm better than most. I was a borderline high school star player and played travel league and AAU with and against a lot of guys who play pro ball. They were much better than me but in a men's league or a pick up I'm getting double teamed.

    Being a jack of all trades, master of none, has its benefits. I'm pretty much very good, very soon, at most things I try, but as for my *best*?


    I lost a game of Tecmo Super Bowl once. It was also my 3rd time playing the game, but not since. Bowling (tournament in Vegas: 6th out of 360 competitors), trivia (Who Wants to Be a Millionaire contestant), singing (mutliple karaoke competition winnings, people have paid multiple times to watch me perform, etc). I can beat Super Mario Bros. in just under 5.5 minutes.



    I'm not the greatest at anything, but I'm good enough at virtually everything to have a great time and be competitive at the same time :)

    For real I am still sick at that game, I'm talking almost speed run levels. I've played it more than any other video game in my life.

    Baseball trivia. I'm miles away from guys like Bill James and Rob Neyer but I'm always the go to guy whenever a friend, family member, or coworker has a question regarding the sport.

    It actually hasn't aired yet & I signed an NDA. I just filmed in September & I'm not allowed to discuss until it airs. The producers will notify me one week before it does so I can tell folks.
