One of my clients texted me with a question last Friday.
When I answered him, he asked what I was up to and I answered honestly:
shooting bandits in the face in a video game. My response led to a brief but
spirited game discussion and his pronouncement that my status in his eyes was
now elevated. Of all the ways I’ve managed to impress clients, this one was
both new and unexpected. I love honesty.
I also love shooting bandits in the face in video games.
Maybe it’s my utter lack of tolerance for thievery kicking in, but any type of
bandit gets extra blasted when I roll through a game level that has them. They’re
almost more fun to kill than zombies (almost).
Lately I’ve been playing
Borderlands, which has both! Although we don’t play games nearly as much as we
used to, Brian and I have been pecking away at the last two downloadable
content packs to finish up the game before we move on to Borderlands 2.
Borderlands 2 happens to be in the game list of one of my
other clients, who has more Steam games than I’ve had MMO characters (hint:
that is a lot). Who knew other face-shooting aficionados were running around in
this industry? Finding them has been a pleasant surprise and makes my work even
more fun than it normally is. Oh, and if you’re wondering, my favorite weapons
are combat rifles and shotguns. BOOM-shaka-laka!
