I dont know why I am even starting this! It seems to me that my attempts at euridition and deep insight are bound to fail. After all, who really cares what doorgunner thinks. Certainly not Exodio! Laying ones soul out for all to see invites a slap in the face and repercussions that could be painful and hard to explain.

But that aside, a little about who (and what) I am. I am a 63 year old gamer that has had an Atari 2600, Playstation, PS2, Xbox, and now an Xbox 360. Although I have dabbled in gaming over the decades, it is only in the last 9-10 months that I have gotten fully hooked! Thats when I my grandson brought his Xbox to my house with a copy of HALO! After he left, I had to go out and buy Halo and and Halo 2. That got me involved in reading the gaming magazines and the next thing I knew, I found 2 old 2 play! After that, it was all down hill into an almost total obsession with XBL and 2old2pwn (just ask my wife!). After getting banished from the living room, I picked up a hi-def 32" LCD screen to go with my game machines in my own play room that is shared with a model train layout, telescopes, books, and my computer stuff. All I need is a portapotty, microwave, and refrigerator and I wouldnt have to come out for days! Of course it would be to an empty house and no wife!

Perhaps in future installments (if any), I can outline how I got to this point in my life and what I do outside of 2o2p/2old2pwn and XBL (aka "The Real World").

Damn! I wish I was banned to my own playroom with a 32" HD TV. Lucky bugger. Okay lets see some meat. Maybe write something these young pups wont want to hear about themselves. I know youve got the stones for it. Consider submitting good stuff to the 2o2p Magazine before putting it in your Blog. Youve got it in you. I know it.

I took over the spare bedroom and I am slowly converting it into my own game room. I got hooked just like you...the online gaming community has really made me a video game junky, with the help of 2o2p.

Hi Doorgunner. Great idea about moving your gaming into another room. Nothing like a Man-Cave to get your game on! I enjoy playing with you and Ill see you on Live.

Attempts at erudition often fail when you cant even spell it. And that Atari 2600 was MY first consol too! Gotta love Adventure. Used to play it so long I would go to bed and still see the images of the block with the arrow and the ducks trying to eat me. Now I see blue and red men trying to kill me. And succeeding often.
