I like still being in my gaming prime (28) and already being better than your average FPS gamer.

Top scoring multiple matches in a row to have someone call you a sweaty no-life teenager only to drop that you work 10 hours a day and can still make them look like they'd never touched a controller before is fun every time.

Shit, my dad was going 30:5 in BLOPS II at age 57, he'd wait to use his mic in between rounds to laugh at the people bitching about the sweaty kid. Suddenly this deep ass voice just saying "get good"
