| That's exactly how I see Leon. An idol. Anyway, I hate camping. I grew up playing FPSs on the PC back in the day and camping was as taboo as incest. People just didn't do it. The reason? It is easy to camp and it gives the camper an advantage over other players, especially new ones. You can argue all day if that advantage is a fair one or not. I don't care. The reason I hate it is because it makes the game BORING. If I'm playing a FPS, I want to be shooting. Campers will just wait there all day. How is that fun? And I'm not going to try to go into their little killbox to try and nab them. If grenades are on or if I have explosives to work with, it's fine. But a camper runs on this assumption: There is usually only one way to them, and they are already aimed at the exact spot. So what happens? You run up, prepare yourself, and then get into that killbox and try to aim at them as best you can and hope to god you kill them, and you have to do it extremely quickly. Basically shooting from the hip. AND on top of that, they are almost always only showing the least little sliver of themselves so it's that much harder. Camping is stupid. I like to take an active part in my games. That is something campers do not do. FPSs used to be a gentleman's game. Now it has been cheapened by those who are too afraid to take an active part in the game because it may hurt their kill/death ratio. Shameful. |

| Camping is something that can absolutely make a game boring.
Screen-looking is another thing, but it's not really possible to not screen look...you can see stuff in your periphirals, etc.
That said, I'd find it hard to play online, not having an idea of where my opponent is. I could still do it, but it would be different. |

What exactly am I supposed to do when using a bolt-action sniper rifle, then? Dynamic entries and CQB? |

| I understand when snipers do it. Because when snipers do it, it's fair. They have to have skill and they focus more on what is going on around them, rather than sitting there with a machine gun waiting for someone to try to take them out. Plus they don't always get that first hit which allows the other player time to get a hit in. |

It's also quite accurate to reality for those using support weapons to take a stationary firing position. |

| This is why I prefer to play more open games like Battlefield and Unreal Tournament. If someone camps, there are a billion ways to work around that. You can also just ignore them entirely because camping in those games equals just doing nothing. In CoD and MoH type FPS games, most of the time the only way to work around a camper is to just get a lucky hit in. No matter how skilled you are. |

| I've always liked the name "Stella" and the name "Luna", but I've never thougth of combining them together till I saw a shoestore with the same name. The shit there was expensive though, and I'd get shoes of the same quality from a department store so I've never bought anything. I'd always just use "Stellar[insert number variation]" for my usernames, but now I use StellaLuna. Apparently, there's a character in Charlotte's Webb that has the name StellaLuna. Someone from an MMO told me. It's a spider... I think. I like spiders. So more reason to keep the name. Terranova is also a nice name, which is from my favorite clothing store. K. That was totally random. |

| Okie dokie... I will try and explain mine. Its a dumbass mistake on my part that I made when I was fifteen years old. We were in summer school talking about bands. I was drunk... He said "Liberation By Blood" I heard "Liberation Boblathon".. I have used it as an alias for everything I do since... It's always my username, gamertag, etc... It's meant to sound like one word.. BOBLA THON would be the best way to say it, although I have used it as a pseudonym "Bob Lathon" said like "BOB LAYTHON" from time to time. |

| To me, there is no point in drinking alcohol unless you get drunk. Getting drunk is the only reward for tasting that nasty crap. |

| Yeah yeah yeah... I was a bit of a teenage hellion. Hey it was summer school... A buddy used to raid his dads stash and mix up vodka in different 20oz drinks and we would pass em around during class. |

Well... The times when I get ahold of alcohol, I can't really afford to get drunk. Its always either I'm in a club with a random date my friend set up with people I barely know cus all my friends chickened out at the last second (Thanks alot ) Or my parents are picking me up after the party and I'll be damned if I get in the car smashed. I'll be grounded for life. Ah... Summer school. I just finished mine. I think it's easier to list the summers where I didn't have to attend it. ( Well, okay. Not really. I had good grades in grade school... Wish I could say the same for High School. Hah.) |

That "man" is the first Democrat to be president in my voting lifetime... This is also the worst shape I have ever seen this country in, in my voting lifetime. I see him as an embarrassment to America. God, don't get me started on politics. What a bumbling idiot... OOOHHHH, A Guiness in Ireland. How clever. |
