CS:GO Review
The best evidence there is for the theory of evolution.

Have you ever had any doubts regarding whether or not mankind is the result of intelligent design or if evolution caused this to happen? A single match of matchmaking will eradicate all doubt you could possibly have. As you gaze upon the unfathomable play that your ingenious teammate is about to commit himself to undertaking you will not only question intelligent design. No sir/madam, you will question the very intelligence of your own species.

As you stand there, on the B bombsite on De_dust 2 in a 3 versus 1 situation to take home the match and you watch the clock ticking down. 10 seconds remaining. 9.. 8.. and you see your teammate dashing onto site, grenade in hand. Ready to plant the bomb. 7 seconds left. You take solace in the fact that he now has plenty of time to get the bomb down. 6 seconds left. You see him crouched on site. 5 seconds left... Time is running out and you hear your other companion call out over voice-coms - Plant the bomb! Plant it now!, 4 seconds left... your bombcarrying companion is making his move. 3 seconds left. Has he begun planting?

That is when you hear it. The all too familiar sound of a grenade hitting the floor. The bomb has been dropped, your teammate is now soaring with the birds as his brilliant tactical move of planting the grenade, rather than the bomb, dawns upon you and your last remaining companion.

In this dark, cold and lonely world, you have now lost the match. You have no time left to plant the bomb. An everburning flame of hatred for your fellow man has started to burn within you and you will never again trust your team.

By signing up for matchmaking in Counterstrike Global Offensive you do adhere to the simple notion that you are infact going to develop a sincere and deep hatred for your fellow man, you will grow to detest the russians. You will forever wish for the destruction of the Swedes. You will without a doubt find the finnish obnoxious. On occasion, you will run into an estonian player and be uncertain of whether or not you should judge them as harshly as you do the others. This uncertainty will be gone within seconds of them making their first play.

Upon reaching 400+ hours of playtime in matchmaking you will find yourself embracing the fact that you are a giant among dwarves. You are infallible. Your team is not. You alone can lead your team to victory and the entire time you work towards that goal you will have to battle not only your own team, but also the opposition.


The game is fantastic. My mother always stated that you ought not to go to bed angry, and as such the logical conclusion is that you should never play this before going to bed. You will get angry. You will grow to hate everyone. You will most likely develop a mild case of hubris. You will also invest excessive amounts of money that you can not afford to invest into skins that in no way or form will help you become a better player, but what does it matter, it is not your fault after all. It is your team doing the errors.

9/10, It'd be a better game without the teammates.
