Week 16: King Ra. (6-7) vs. Bladed Thesis (3-0) \\ King Ra. wins 7-1

[Objective]

Bladed Thesis - Nice intro. Hahahahaha @ FPS Doug, that was a nice reminder, one of the older viral videos on the net. Don't know if I'm really digging the direction it's going later on with the shooting etc. (I feel like it's feeding off the ''gaming creates murderers''-stigma which is false), but it progresses and builds up nicely so I wont let my own opinions retract from that. The flow was cool, a few hiccups here and there but not enough to kill it for me. Didn't think the ''Xx360NOSCOPEHEADSHOTxX'' fit that well either beside of being a reference to console-gamers, it was kinda just thrown in there. I am a gamer though so it didn't really connect too well with the rest although I definitely get why it's there. The last two sentence did it for me, Satan was playing the kid, cool shit.

Overall - Cool straight forward ish, I like that sometimes as well. The piece entertained me so I definitely enjoyed the read and you stayed on topic completely from beginning to end which is dope, well done.

King Ra. - Nice title. Enjoyed the first paragraph, I don't think I know a single person that takes the recommended 15 minute break each hour, haha. The next paragraph definitely caught my attention, let's see what you got in store for us.

Oooh, nice, you're putting in real life events to this. It should also be noted that he didn't drink or something during that time period. I think that's the main problem with these people, I've had a couple 24 hour+ gaming sessions myself but I always took bathroom breaks and ate decent food inbetween. As long as you do that you're pretty much set unless you have some unknown condition you weren't aware of. Lol @ the ''carried so much weight on my shoulders.''

The last paragraph was alright but I didn't feel it that much. I mean, if you go for 24+ hours without breaks or actual food inbetween you're bound to get fucked. There's several 3-5000+ people LAN-parties everywhere around the globe, ain't no deaths coming from that. Just take decent health precautions and you're set. It's not as much ''life on the line'' as there is common sense. Either way, cool story nevertheless, a couple of cases I hadn't heard of before either so you've done your research which is pretty dope in itself.

Vote - Bladed Thesis. Although I enjoyed King Ra.'s verse I didn't really feel like he went anywhere with all the references beside of fucked up cases. It's dope that he mentions them but it kinda took way too long time before it actually led anywhere. At least that was what I felt when I kept reading on, cool shit nevertheless and the research/cases was a really dope asset but it wasn't enough to bring it home for me. Bladed Thesis brought along a well rounded verse and a story that I enjoyed, felt it flowed better too so that was the deciding factor for me. Entertaining battle, well done to both.
