Fuck it, let’s talk video games—specifically the kind that make you wanna throw your controller at the wall. So, there’s this former Counter-Strike dude, Fredrik “roeJ” Røj Jorgensen (one hell of a name, huh?), chatting about Call of Duty. Apparently, he thinks these games are a breeze to pick up. And who am I to argue? Maybe he’s got a point, or maybe it’s just one of those’s things where you go, “Eh, could be easier.”
Jorgensen’s an old hand at Counter-Strike—played for teams like Fnatic and Copenhagen Flames, racked up over 325k in winnings (not bad, right?). Anyway, he reckons the old Call of Duty games, like Modern Warfare 2, are super accessible. You just have to, you know, shoot stuff, respawn, rinse, repeat. Simple, right? But it’s not all sunshine and headshots, ’cause getting those sweet, sweet kills ain’t just handed to you.
Wait, where was I? Right, Jorgensen! He thinks other games like Counter-Strike have this straightforward learning curve, even if they’ve got a sky-high skill ceiling. Makes sense? Maybe, or maybe he just misses the easy days. Now, picture Call of Duty Team Deathmatch modes—jump in, shoot stuff, and if you mess up, just try again. Kind of cathartic, really. I guess that rhythm stuck with me.
Oh, and don’t get him started on Valorant or Overwatch. Valorant’s like this colorful, kid-friendly cousin to Counter-Strike, but it’s trickier. More layers, like an onion of gaming frustration. Overwatch though? He thinks it’s kind of a Rubik’s Cube with guns.
Moving on—battle royales. These things are monsters. Jorgensen says Fortnite’s especially nuts since the whole building thing turns it into a circus act. He loved it when it first dropped, but now people are out there building the damn Eiffel Tower while they’re shooting you. Makes any game sound hard, right? Apex Legends is another beast, with its own flavor of tough love.
So yeah, games are wild. Some easy, some complicated, but all worth diving into if you’ve got the patience. And who knows, maybe one day you’ll hit it big like Jorgensen without throwing a controller. Or maybe not. Just try not to break anything valuable.
