Do you know what am I talking about in here?

 

In other words.. the magic of the game on the battlefield.. yes?

Sure. I have transcendent moments when I'm so in the 'zone' , I'm so focused, it's like a meditative warrior state. 

 

pure bliss. :D

What magic?

Are you high, what are you smoking?

Nobody but 100 people play this "magical", unbalanced fairy tale and 90% of them are all noobs.

DON'T BE SHY NERD

I like going against the best of any game I play. Helps you in the long run n motivates u to do more. Always room for improvement not failure

My... in the zone... comes from a total detachment of the self. Left to my own devices, while ego often serves to motivate me to do well, and do well, I do, it will often leave me inflexible. It makes me conscious and observant, but not accepting. Every shot that hits me hits my motivation as well. My "in the zone" is scattered across a wide array of nameless accounts, half of which I do not even recall, whose termination came when I spoke, and created an identity.

 

The screen is there, my eyes, here, and my hands also. My head doesn't need another barrier, another factor involved.

 

I snowboard. I have been on mountains since I was two years old. I wear a full face helmet. I often take solitary trips, just to enjoy what can be done with a brain and a body. It's been 21 years since I started, and yet, it does not get old. Most snowboarders who take it seriously focus on showy stuff. It's hard. I actually have a dead nerve in my left leg on account of that sort of thing. But that zone, that zone exists around 60 miles per hour/100KPH, threading a needle between moguls or trees, or gliding over a patch of ice, accepting without thought or fear the fact that you are helpless beyond keeping upright at that speed on that ice, and christ, my mother lost her spleen back when I was in high school in a skiing accident - needs to go out of her way to ensure she has kale or spinach every day. Just last year my edge slipped one of the steeper slopes in Vermont and I flew, side first, on my back, off a mogul about a hundred feet, and only three feet from a tree at my closest. No airbags. No seatbelts, or even seats for that matter. A piece of plastic and some foam over your skull, and a thick sweatshirt if it's really cold out.

And then I got up, and kept fuzzy bunnyng going. That place of total, seamless connection between you and what you're doing, it's, as bt said, transcendent, and sometimes worth risking your life over.

I get into my zone when I am 100% in the moment, not thinking about other stuff, not thinking a minute ahead, just acting and reacting.

That I know without a doubt what I'm doing is a given to reach the zone. So no zone in Hawken for me yet. Touched it a few times in one on one encounters, but it was gone in a few seconds.

Where I often get into the zone is on the archery range. Before making the shot I have a perfect shot execution in my mind including my arrow hitting the X and I know this is how I am going to perform, then I just let go and my body makes it happen. Feels so amazing.

After some time picture of the shot execution in my mind just becomes a warm feeling, only the picture of my arrow in the X really remains.

This is the point where I have a satisfied smile on my face and just enjoy the moment while my body performs. It's often called spectator shooting.

I had a mysterious feeling of some unknown force a long time ago. It happened late one night when I used to play the old funner version of Hawken (pre ascension).

Turns out...

And here I was thinking I was keeping my political ambition under wraps.
Heh. There are worse ways to go. Honestly I've been hit so many times my usual response is laughter and has been for a long time. Perhaps it seems overly stoic, but just watching, feeling the world bounce off you like some oversized basketball, there's a real humor to it when you're used to it. It's not the case all the time, I mean, damaging that nerve was pretty bad, I've had my left hand torn open after I put a knife through it that I can't even think about without squeezing it, and a hematoma that killed off about 20% of the muscle mass in my right leg, and those things get pretty hard to laugh at, but they make everything else a lot easier.
Yeah. It's not dying, and I'm not so single minded as to say "it'd be ok because I was doing what I love" or something like that, but I don't know. I really don't. Part of being 23, 6'2", 230 pounds is just feeling invincible I guess, and I suppose I can accept the hypocrisy of it all if it makes me happy.
You didn't ask for it, but come on. A joke, but a very real and immediate thing for me, nonetheless.

I have this "subconscious fear" always in the back of my mind of getting bit by a shark, though I know the odds of that happening are greater than guessing the powerball numbers, but I keep on swimming out and taking the plunge all the while still having a great time. 

 

 

 

We all feel invincible at a young age. It's just getting through that minefield without doing serious damage to one's self......have fun and don't worry,  you'll grow out of it in a few years :tongue:

I get this kind of vibe going if I don't play HAWKEN for awhile, and then come back to it (After my initial period of rustiness, which lasts about an hour or so). If I play too much HAWKEN for more than a few days, I start to over-analyze things/get preoccupied with how I'm playing, get salty, and I start to play shittily. I then give HAWKEN a break for another few days.

And there you have my HAWKEN playing habits in a nutshell.

My "skill" is extremely bound to my state of mind, and I easily choke when confronted by too good players of messy siuations. So the few magic like moments have occurred in hindsight looking back on when my absent mindedness takes over and all that really remains is the dance, no thoughts or hand eye coordination, just dance.
Then I think back on it and get a "how the fuzzy bunny did that even happen" feeling, leaving magic as the only viable explanation.
