Call me a nutcase but i find when playing games theres something immensly satisfying about setting your opponents on fire. Yes there just computer generated pixels but still its oddly therapeutic to set them ablaze. I feel buoyed by a sense of giddy glee when running round totting a flamethrower, sneaking up behind some poor sod then setting him on fire. It’s also a good way to defend as the instinctive reaction when seeing some madman charging at your blasting a flamethrower in your face is to move backwards away from them, I’ve noticed in alot of cases even if its a group of siz or more players who’ve just spent the last five mintes fighting tooth and nail for a stretch of land, they’ll all rapidly back peddle in the face of one crazy flamethrower weilding lunatic.

How do you like your opponent, medium rare or extra crispy?

(Note i am in no way advising people to go out and set themselves/other people on fire in real life. I am in no way responsible for the actions of any morons after they have read this blog.)
