Rising and not shining...

    Today marks the one year anniversary of Joker961's HQ (which is also posted over on my 2Old2Play blog page, when the HTML gods accept the tags). I can't believe that I've been spouting to you guys (all three of you regulars - and you know who you are) for a whole year, all the way since 10 September 2009. After giving it some thought, I've decided to keep the blog going for another year to see what happens with it. I'm not expecting any miracles, and it's been pretty tough keeping it going at times. But I'm too vain to give it up... I like to fantasize that someone out there is listening and heeding. ;-)


 

    Today's featured World at War vid is ThatGuyWhoCamps praying and spraying on Battery with the Thompson SMG. The second vid is ONLYUSEmeBLADE living up to his gamertag and tearing up CoD4's Pipeline with his knife only. Moving on...
