reason # 42: my nerd boyfriend bought me battlefield 1942 with both expansion packs and i cant stop playing all the secret weapons of wwii levels because i love riding around europe's battlefields on a little motorcycle, occasionally pausing to dismount and fire some grenades out of my souped-up rifle.
ok, no seriously, thats only a minor reason
not as minor reason #28: team burnaby, our local right-wing municipal party, had a real tardfest of a campaign and it worked - they got more spots than usual on the councils. during the election, i was talking to a burnaby politico of sorts who didnt work for team burnaby this time around. she was strategically out of town for the campaign - she didnt really like what she saw and didnt think any of their operatives would be personally useful for her next campaign. i spoke to her again when she got back and she was waxing poetic on their ability to get the vote out and streamline the message. does this spell a future of campaigns with big red signs that only say CRIME IS THE ISSUE and compare us to surrey? ew.
how come our parents generation got to have their fake ass poser revolution of hippiedom and dream of a better world and all this generation gets as we breeze through our 20s is the damn intarweb and anger-inducing bouts of cynicism?

Say what you will, I contend that Day of Defeat is a far supierior online FPS. That's just my belief, and I stand by it, stalwart, until the end!

look, im not going to quit bf1942 because another game is better. i am the shittiest gamer ever. i spend the whole level riding around on bikes and trying to place explosives on tanks while being shot at and then run away and detonate them. i think my nerd boyfriend is completely embarassed by my serious suckage at games.
