An Interview with a Cheater

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the live-and-learn dept.

Dan writes to mention a post at the Aeropause site. Author Richard was recently given the rare opportunity to interview a cheater, shining a light into the dark recesses of a conflicted mind. The article explores why the cheater cheats, and the great excuses they use to be able to look themselves in the mirror. From the article: "Aeropause: What made you decide to mod your Xbox to gain an unfair advantage in games like Halo 2? Schmuck5000: Modding is not an unfair advantage. There is just as much chance that there will be a modder on the other team. I am there to even things out. Halo 2 is beginning to get old, us modders are just making it more funner."

    Cheaters never win. Okay, well, they always win, but that's what makes them losers.

    I thought a person who acts unsportingly was a cheat. Whereas a cheater's sort of like a leopard.

      Correct. It's very similar to the other Southern Appalachian big cat, the lyin'.
