Back when we regularly played Team Fortress 2 on StarHub, we’d be lucky to get in a match with just one guy who knew how to use his microphone. In public Asian servers, every match is like those five days of embarrassing silence. Are we just shy? Are we afraid? Do we think we sound silly? Are we just afraid to reach out, only to find out that there’s no one out there who will respond? Do we avoid looking into the mirror so we don’t have to see that there’s nothing there peering back at us? What the fuck am I saying, now?
What I’m saying is that no, Southeast Asia isn’t going places. Not with all those silent drones in the game servers. Not with people like us who were content to sit there and allow ourselves to be spoonfed and not bother to try to run that extra mile to push ourselves even beyond where we expected to be. We’re not dumb. We’re not incompetent. But if we have nothing to say, then there’s no point to creating anyway, now, is there? Hop on over to OMGeek to read more
