Face to Face

Since I found this site about 3 months ago, I've been totally amazed at how much fun gaming has become.  Well, we took it to another level this weekend.  Myself and 4 other clan members met and gamed face to face.  Art of War, at least a good chunk of the TX based ones, and a visitor from paradise (lower AL), met up in Houston and played our asses off.  I found out all kinds of new things about my clanmates.  Faux is a large man, YIG is cute as a button and just as sweet as she can be, Pearl us just as funny in person as online, and Phreak will make somebody a great wife one day (best shrim

Finall....

Good news, UPS tried to deliver my repaired xbox today.  Bad news, nobody was home.  They usually deliver around 4 to 6 pm but of course today they came sometime between 10 and 2.  I have watched jealously while everybody in the clan has leveled up, gained gamer score, and generally had a good time with Halo 3, while I got 2 hours on it with a borrowed box the weekend after it came out.  Got to level 5 on the campaign, but no online play.  Finally, the wait is almost over.  I'm on vacation next week and I plan to play every day all day to catch up with everybody (except for GoW night).

Trash talking

I've been reading some of the other blogs lately (since I can't play xbox for 4 to 6 weeks) and I must say I'm a little disturbed.  There seem to be a lot more complaints about trash talking, rude comments, and downright meanness, especially around Halo 3.  The biggest reason I joined 2o2p is because I got tired of the little kids doing that in all games.  My experience on here has all been positive.  Granted, all I've played is GoW and the CoD4 beta, but I've had a blast and what trash talking there is has all been good natured and taken as such.  I think with Halo, it's the biggest and badde

microsoft and the xbox

The gaming gods hate me.  I got online tonight for clan night, joined a room, was getting owned (nicely of course), and my xbox froze.  First time, so I rebooted.  Got 10 seconds into the game, and it did it again.  Went through the xbox support site, tried everything it said, still can't play a game.  The stupid thing plays movies and cd's fine, just not a game.  I thought maybe it was the drive so I tried the CoD4 beta thinking it would work since it's just a program loaded on the hard drive.  NOPE.  Called MS, they're shipping me a coffin.  The night before

playing with folks on this site

Saturday and Sunday night I got to play with some people from this site.  It was AWESOME.  Played Rv6 Saturday night with a couple of guys (Jackal and plumber, enjoyed it), and Sunday night got caught up playing GoW with my son and after he went to bed hooked up with a full game with people from here.  Everybody was nice (as much as you can be with chainsaws revvin') and the one female in the group was an absolute trip.

gaming at a certain age

I can't believe how hard it is to find people to play online with who want to play by the rules.  I was in a R6V match last weekend and everybody on my team quit except me and the other team was still spawn camping and glitching.  It was 6 on 1 for God's sake.  It worked out allright, I got 2 achievements for it and has as many kills as the best guy on their team, but still, how about a sporting chance?
