My first time playing a shooter on the pc for more than 2 hours was on Combat Arms.

While I could see some potential for fun, my computer couldn't handle the game that well. I had to put everything on lowest settings just so the lag would be bearable. But for some reason the sound would only work about a fourth of the time while I was playing...and playing a shooter muted isn't that fun at all obviously. Combat Arms lasted a week before uninstallment and I left pc shooters alone.

But then today I remembered a game called Soldier Front, another f2p shooter. I was in the mood, so I downloaded it despite an hour of waiting and registering at random sites just to download and play the darn thing. It worked to me surprise and I entered a game to instantly be hit with the same lag that plagued me on Combat Arms. The minute I took a few steps and got killed by some guy, I knew I wouldn't enjoy it. But I tried my hardest to grow to like pc shooters...ultimately getting turned off them even more. Soldier Front lasted about 2 hours on my comp before I uninstalled it and reflected on my time wasted playing it that could've went towards writing an essay.

Darn YOU! Now I'm still doing the essay as I procrastinate further typing this blog...
