Tucson Gamers: Stop camping, and frag!

Let's go get 'em, boys!

You're right in the middle of all of it. Bullets are whizzing past your head and explosions are bursting ten feet away from you. Your heart is pounding as you cross the minefield, with only minutes before you and everyone else on your team is potentially dead. You must stop the threat of your rivals, and protect your teammates lives.

Well, at least that would have been the scenario.

Instead, you don't know your teammates at all, so you don't particularly care if they live. Instead of being in the action, and being part of a team, you've decided to put yourself up in a nice little hidden corner, so as to get the greatest amount of headshots. If you knew people in the game you were in, you might actually have a little more fun.

There are three ways to meet people to game with. One is the good old fashioned way of talking your friends into playing the same game you're interested in. The downside to this is maybe your friends don't play games, and if they do, they have a totally different genre that they're into. The second would be to actually participate in game and make friends that way. But then you never actually meet these people, and you could find out you're playing with someone totally out of your age range, and it's usually people you may never associate with in real life. Then, there's the third option that's a little bit of a combination of options one and two.

You can meet people online with similar interests, who are looking to play the same games. One such website you can go to for this is Meetup.com, where you can find different groups, or even sign up on a waiting list for a group that hasn't been created yet. Get in touch with these people, make friends, and frag together!

So stop being a loner and camping, and get in the action! Promise, it makes gaming a lot more fun that way. And it makes it a lot more fun for everyone else too!
