Names and Crits

               This is a two part question for me, mostly because there is the name of the blog, The Critical Canuck, and then there is my Gamertag of  NaMeca Because I bloody well want to I`m going to go through them both. Also neither one of them is a really long story or anything so It`ll help make this feel like a full post.

               We`ll start with what most people are not so interested in,  “NaMeca” (Nah-May-the) is a simple and short phrase which translated means,  “the enemy.” I find it somewhat ironic that I`m always playing as  “the enemy” and a little funny that my opponents never know that they are playing against  “the enemy ” sort of. That`s really it, I just thought it was a nice funny name, and it  really isn`t that complicated, unless you ask how to pronounce it, and even then it`s still not THAT hard. NaMeca. 

               The Critical Canuck again is pretty simple if you think about it. I feel that it`s cool and short alliteration that gives a brief summary of who I am. I am a Canuck who is critical of things. That was the first thought. Then my gaming mind stepped in and said,  “you know, it`s totally possible to make critical into both a positive and negative word.”It totally is! You have the simple thinking on it that critical is negative, but in gaming you can have critical hits and critical misses. To briefly explain, a critical hit is essentially your character getting lucky and dealing more damage than they would normally would. A critical miss is when you are so unlucky that not only does your attack miss your opponent, but has a negative effect on you. Think about someone swinging a giant sword and missing their target, then the sword is so heavy it carries with the guy and he falls flat on his face. That`s a critical miss. When you meet a girl and things are going really well and you say  “Destiny” That`s a critical miss. Unless it totally works out, then it's a critical hit.  It`s really another way of saying, the worst possible thing that could happen. So really that`s what this blog is about, recording the critical hits and misses of my life. Highs and lows. That sort of thing. Also the critical hits and misses of those around me. I hope to record more hits to be honest, although the occasional miss is pretty entertaining.

               EZ PZ!

Sidenote: Frick yeah is totally a legitimate reason to do anything. See here for explanation. (Only watch the first 40 seconds, the rest is Day 9 random stories.)
