If you've ever played video games, you will probably relate to the story I'm about to tell. Imagine this, you're playing some Call of Duty when all of a sudden, you see an enemy player and start shooting. As if God himself is trying to spite you, your connection starts to bug out and none of your shots register, allowing the enemy to spot you and gun you down. It is an infuriating experience and last night, New Orleans Pelicans star Josh Hart experienced this pain first hand.
In the clip below, Hart was playing some COD when all of a sudden, he got beaten in a gun battle he feels he should have won. That's when he descended into a fit of rage and yelled: "Fuck this game," before taking his keyboard, throwing it on the ground, stomping on it, then throwing it out of the room entirely.
It was a pretty hilarious scene for viewers at home although if you're Hart, it certainly wasn't funny in the moment. Not to mention, it looks like that mechanical keyboard costs a lot of money and you would never want to waste such a good piece of technology.
Hopefully, Hart will eventually "git gud" at COD and not have to rage as hard.
Quavo’s Quarantine Has Been "Culture III" & "Call Of Duty"
Despite the coronavirus throwing the Migos’ best-laid “Culture III” plans out of whack, Quavo has been finding ways to keep productive.
There’s no other way around it — the coronavirus pandemic has sent the entire music industry into a state of uncertainty. Albums that would have likely arrived by now have been pushed indefinitely, with the inability to tour playing a major role in scheduling a proper release window. Sadly, the Migos‘ upcoming album Culture III is but one of the many to suffer the COVID-related side-effects. Yet as Quavo reveals in a recent Billboard interview, the project has not been left entirely at a standstill.

As he tells it, the group has been vigilantly practicing their social distancing, but still linking up to put in work on their climactic Culture chapter. As he tells it, the only time he leaves the house is to hit the studio — though don’t expect to see the album until the quarantine dies down. “Of course, the business has slowed down because we perform in front of masses of people,” he reveals. “Dropping music and all that, it’s at a standstill right now with us because we need to go out there and touch the people to push our albums to make our music work.”
Insofar as his downtime, Quavo confirms that he’s been allowing his inner gamer to rise up, dedicating “hours” to the noble cause of gitting gud at Call Of Duty. The strange thing is, it’s times like this when rappers are at their most relatable — perhaps one day you’ll end up on the receiving end of a tactical nuke, only to be shit-talked through the PS4 voice-comms by a triumphant and cocky “MAMA!”
Lakers’ Alex Caruso Is Taking His Talents To Twitch
Los Angeles Lakers guard Alex Caruso gives fans an update on his status during #Day2 of the NBA shut down.
Basketball fans, and sports fans as a whole, are currently struggling to find ways to pass the time in the wake of the coronavirus outbreak.
Binge watching shows you've never seen, rewatching shows that you've already committed to memory, firing up the ole laptop to see what a certain website has to offer - Those are all fine options. But one of the best ways for fans to cope with the void left in there lives is by turning on their Playstation or XBox and playing out a season on their own terms, or going to battle with their buddies online.
If that's the route you're taking, be on the lookout for Los Angeles Lakers icon Alex Caruso, who recently revealed that he will be streaming games such as FIFA, Fortnite and Call of Duty for the foreseeable future. Athletes, they're just like us!
Caruso failed to provide his Twitch name or a streaming link, but we're sure he'll keep his fans updated once he gets everything set up. If he's even half as popular on Twitch as he was during the NBA All Star voting, the Bald Mamba may commit to the gaming life full time.
In his third season in the NBA, the 25-year old point guard is averaging just 5.4 points per game but he has still earned the title of "GOAT" from his teammate LeBron James.
