As someone who has been playing rocket league since 2016, here are my current thoughts on the game and its community (8:19am MST). Last night I had the privilege and opportunity to play Rocket League with our lord and savior, Nicktacular. The following is a real time log of our play: 9:30pm: Nicktacular tweets that he’s bored of Call of Duty Modern Warfare II. He gets cute with his words and calls it “modern farewell” after playing the game for 1 day and convincing me to buy the $69.99 game. I still haven't played it and would love my money back, but whatevs. Sensing my moment, I ask — please, please sir - come back to Rocket League and teach me your ways! 10:00pm: What’s this? Nick agrees. He hops on. Sensing that I’ve been too eager to play with this man, I make him wait about 30 minutes so I don’t come across as too over-eager to play with him. Classic Pawn. 10:30pm: I tell Nick how much I love this game and him - he agrees it is the one true way. So awesome. 10:31pm: Fuck this game and fuck them mother fucking smurfs. I hate this game. I ask Nick what rank he thinks our opponent “really is” and he says, they aren’t smurfing they are just having a good game. Fuck logic man. This concept is foreign to me and seems like a conspiracy but I begrudgingly agree - but first try to guilt trip the other team into quitting because I am a father who gets limited time to play video games (pay no attention to the 50 hours of rocket league in the last two weeks). This has worked once, yet I still try.... 10:37pm: Nick: “Dude, where are you - you can’t go for a demo and leave me in a 1on1.” Pawn: “I guess that makes sense, I just thought you could handle a lil 1v1.” Nick: “Flattering, but no - its just dumb.” Pawn: Fuck you. But ya, I see what you’re saying. 10:39pm: Pawn goes for more demos. Weeeeeeeee! 10:40pm: Demos prevail and we have our best game of lives. Confirmed. There are literally ZERO errors and the fluidity of mechanics is just amazing. I LOVE ROCKET LEAGUE. Nick laughs, but wondering why the fuck Pawn won't just listen to him and stop this style of gameplay. 10:47pm: We begin our losing streak - after 4 losses in a row and virtually no comms we know its over. What has become of us? The next morning... 8:30am: Pawn browses Rocket League subreddit. /r/rocketleague to make sure I wasn’t “clipped on” or made fun of for horrendous gameplay (a daily occurrence). Look for more content from Pawn in the near future as the algorhythm of life gets in the way of any real rank progress in Rocket League.... Written by @PawnPawn15
