Hey! New here? Destructoid is a gaming discussion community, updated nearly every 20 minutes. Make a quick avatar to comment and enter our contests. Take the tour!
I know, I know. I'm rather late with this recap. I was attending a party on Saturday. The theme was the recession. Which basically means cheap beer and wine. But because it was so cheap we could buy loads. Needless to say I was pretty wasted. I also skipped another on Friday because of Friday Night Fights. Staying up for almost 48 hours and cheap drinks result in beautiful hangovers.
My beloved city of Amsterdam was invaded by Kilt wearing Scots because of a Holland vs Scotland football match. Although Holland raped Scotland there was such a nice atmosphere. Everybody was drunk, everybody loved each other and everybody puked their guts out on the streets. Good times were had!
But enough of my escapades. Let's see how Destructoid Alpha vs Destructoid Beta went down. That's what you're here for anyway.
Man, you can call me FOX News from the way I was delivering propaganda. I dealt a Fair and Balanced ass whoopin' putting BETA in the "No Win Zone" baby!
Since no one on beta has done it already, I figured I might as well: Congratulations on winning. This just left a taste in my mouth so bad that I have to go rinse it out with holy water.
If I find the time, I'll be there for Beta in the next battle. There's just always something going on, on Saturdays that prevents me from joining...but I'll try to be there somehow, next time.
Lets just hope this week turns out a little better, i.e. a closer matchup. I don't mind losing, but having it happen by such a wide margin is somewhat disheartning. Props to alpha, and as for the beta bros its time to up your game people.
Can you schedule more than 1 matchup a day/week? Also if you can't maybe have that 1 match, and start another regular matchup and have the players from each team select isa or helgast depending on which one is selected for that team beforehand.
Yeah, we're checking that out. We'll have to see tomorrow when that patch arrives what they've changed about the clan matches. They said there maybe was more than what they posted on the list.
There's also the possibility of Tournaments but with only two teams there's no difference than regular clan battles.
@Sadistic
uh uh.
@Nexus
Somebody on Beta tried that for about a minute. Didn't work :D
Seriously this isn't even enough shit talking for the pile of dung that we delivered on that match. If we would of won by that margin MY recap blog would of been legendary.
Now I must go, the ER doctor told me I need to rest after talking an ass whupping like that. I'm not a young buck anymore.
Dude, the music in that video is indeed epic. Sure, it does'nt feature an actual battle replay, but that right there is an epic credits video. :)
Also, yes, rockets and missles don't work. Not against a well organized team, which Alpha was.
Honestly, true teamwork was dislayed during that battle, not one single person on my team was a glory hound, when something needed to be defended, it was defended, to the last man. When we needed to assasinate a target, by god we rushed the enemy, but in a clear, organized way. Hell, NJ was an incredible medic, the dude was reviving people left and right. Shipero was a an absolute monster with the turrents, evertime I defended something, I saw one of his turrents there, ready for some arse-kicking. Takeshi took no prisoners, and showed why he is the leader of Alpha!!
Not a single person on the tean I was one was bad, they all played a part in Alpha's success. I am NOT saying all this because I was overall top, I'm saying all this because I want to, because Alpha deserves to be commended. I am proud to be part of an awesome clan. :D
Also, I know I had the highest overall score in that battle, and the reason why is simple, practice.
I will not lie, I know that map very well, simply because I took the time and effort to learn every map. To get very comfortable with the controls and to gauge the strengths and weaknesses of every class and weapon.
I know some or a lot of you do not have a lot of time, but is it so much asking to dedicate time to improve at the game? If you want to beat another team, does'nt it make sense to play the game and improve at it? To reach a level where you are confident of you abilty, regardless of what map you are on.
Obviously, someone like Takeshi and ElZilcho, (two absolute beasts at the game), will have the upper hand more often than not, but they too were not used to the game at all once.
It's not about me unlocking more shit than you, it's about the capacity to improve your FPS skills, which anyone can do.
Oh, and if Ron is that much of a loud imbicile again, Takeshi, ban his ass.
I might have a massive gay crush on him ;) but that doesn't mean that I have to put up with his constant screaming!!
Oh, and thanks for the laughs in the match, I was laughing so hard that my sides hurt, the match WAS THAT MOTHERFUCKING EPIC!!!!!!
**Warning this comment contains extreme amounts of douchebaggery, vulgar language, and enough shit talk to make up for the week the PSN went down***
LOL The Beta Bitches got fucking dominated!! What were you guys doing? Still amazed by all the pretty graphics? It's a damn shame I wasn't able to play. My grandmother wanted to take over on the killzones and enjoyed annihilated your asses.By the way, she said you guys suck and should trade in your ps3 immediately.
Playing you guys was like being on a porno shoot with 16 guys and one girl (*cough* Y0j1mb0 *cough*)
Also, after the match I had all of your mothers. I was like a milf-hunter Santa Claus on spring break.
Mushman! Holy shit talking about epic! It's an honor to fight along your side. I'd rather play with than against you but if we're on different teams it's great to shoot or get shot by you. Always puts a smile on my face.
Nice video and a great re-cap blog. Long live Dtoid Alpha! For a favorite map...hmmm, how about Visari Hammer cause it just sounds dirty! No seriously, I don't really care what map it is, I adapt to any terrain cause I'm bad ass!
@Mush
Fuck your too you magnificent Muslim bastard. I put up with your constant thrusting all the time! The least you can do is let me rape your ears like you rape may ass. Ungrateful asian.
hmmm..... after hearing about this epic loss beta suffered im tempted to jump ship from my current clan and maybe help beta turn the tide of battle a little since im above average at this game.
Never fear, Alpha. My spawn grenades will point your guns at the target. My air support bots will... probably do jack shit, but they'll be up there occupying space. Together, we will always prevail!
i have a web cam i can do a sorta lame video capture of the matches(not direct but off screen). but i dont have the direct capture card yet. but that will be very soon.
also i will do a cblog of my station soon when its up more than down. well basically when i have all my Dragonball and DragonballZ episodes it will be 24HR ball-a-thon. because i wont be d/ling anymore and have bandwidth to broadcast.
Takeshi, I'm telling you, you need to send me a clan invite. Shit like this wouldn't be happening once a Video Cognito gets in on the mix. I'll show you guys what's up.
It makes me immensely proud to see people crediting my medic skills, having tried to play an engineer a few times you can trust me when I say I have every intention of being the same revival machine this week.
I just now saw this post. Looking back that match seems like a blur, it all happened pretty fast...
I've got to disagree with FetusMilk regarding setting limits, I love the changing missions and the chaos of letting anything go badge & weapon-wise... As for a favorite map, I really don't have one...
I'm still deciding what I like best. All weapons and badges and the whole shebang? Yes, I love it. But some limitations will maybe end up in a more tactical battle. It really depends if we can play more than one clan battle. I guess we'll soon find out.
After playing some more, I've got a map I don't like; Visari Hammer. It's hard for me to have too much fun on that one, so yeah, that's a map I'd like to not request...

I never owned a console as a kid. I had a rich friend who had everything so I played my first games over there. Later on I discovered the Arcade. I was born on a small island so there was practically nothing else to do than flip my coins in Afterburner and look at how the older guys killed each other playing Mortal Kombat.

njsykora wins a medal for being a kick-ass medic (I knew someone revived me quite a couple of times, I just wasn't sure who).
I'm sure there are a lot more medals to give away. I just couldn't keep track of it all.
Don't forget to vote for your favorite map!
I'm going to bed, I need to catch some sleep.

like no mixed badges. medic/assault only matches with no rocket/grenade launchers.
or engineer/scout badges only. with pistols and sniper rifles.
we need to limit what can be used each match. instead of every badge and weapon in every game mode.
im just glad i wasnt last(sorry jimbo didnt think it would be you!!!!).
how about points for each team instead of everyone. like beta 1-16 get 16-0 points ETC. not 32-0 for everyone.
or 1,2,3 get 5
4,5,6 get 4
7,8,9 get 3
10,11,12 get 2
13,14,15 get 1
and 16 gets none!
