kurt macdonald dominates at rainbow 6

on wed, sept 23, 2004, kurt 'veganboy' macdonald tried to dominate 'rainbow 6: black arrow' on the xbox (live) console.

while he consistently had the highest number of kills, his team still managed to lose.

his team, made up of silicon valley employees, just failed to capture the flag. (the game is called retrival.)

'i cant explain it,' kurt said. 'i busted ass and they just let me down. it's like playing with amateurs. this isn't why i pay for an xbox live subscription. i pay 5.83 dollars a month to win. not lose.'

there is no word on whether this wed night spectacle will expand to other members of the im division.

Sorry, fella; but really where is your lusory attidtude? You play to play not to win, winning is a bonus!

kurt "lone wolf" macdonald was on fire on kill rate wed that is for sure. "playing with amateurs" wow that hurts, should I mention that I was left holding the "flag" a dozen times unable to score without cover at the base, while "lone wolf" was on a killing spree somewhere. He seems so quiet, but there is rage there, lots of rage.

ok full disclosure: I couldn't hit anything Wed - I blame Halo.

Hehe, I had the same experience before. Find better teammate, man. Jordan can't win his match alone. On the otherside, you still blew most of ur enemys' ass away. Killing the most is also a way to win.

Veganboy played the odds. He realized that shooting his own teammates down to one bar did not count as a negative kill, but ensured that he would reap benefits later.

"I pretty much hide and use my 'teammates' as cannon fodder" he stated in one reputed zine.

XBox officials are looking into reports that he was actually telling the other team where his teammates were located and then shooting everyone in the back of the head.

"A kill is a kill."

Officials are also looking into the questionable practice of "glitching" or taking advantage of bugs in the software to do normally impossible actions.

"By slowing down my router, I can actually mess up the collision detection algorithms. I can walk through walls, climb up on roof tops and next week I intend to walk on water."

My rebuttal:

Two words: Kobe Bryant :)

Evidence:
Example score board from the night:
Green team:
Veganboy 21, fooqri 8, mrdegauss 2
Red team:
deth00 6, notmuch 6, qt1p 6

Score: Red 2, Green 0

So how much time is left on Veganboy's contract? We'll take him and teach how to play on a team....LOL

i can no longer keep silent in the face of such poor journalistic integrity. my words have been mangled and misquoted by the supposed "reporter" that created this post. this kind of misrepresentationalism does not even deserve a resonse. period.

but for my part, veganboy has to shout out to his team and give much props/respect, because we did stick together always through "the shit" man, as fooqri so awesomely points out. but there is the darker question of how long vegan can sustain this kind of performance? firstly, he's been complaining about tendonitis in his trigger finger lately and missing practices because of it. notice how last wednesday he didn't come into the game until the second half? secondly, can a meatless diet really support the type of athleticism required for these events? i mean, where does he get his protein? tofu? hummus? for the answer to these questions, vegan asks that you only judge him on his performance, not on his eating habits, so tune in next week and he will show you that veganboy is a team player.
