First Post!

I have always hated it when people sit in forums and waste my bandwith while posting First! at each new thread started. If I ever run a discussion board I will make sure to ban the people who do that.

That being said, welcome to my blog! I used to have a blog at 1up, but after they reorganized the boards a few months ago everyone left that I liked to blog visit and talk to, so I went in search of a new place. 2old2play looks like its just my style. I hate reading thru all the "timmy" posts that most boards have. My only dislike so far about this board is the total ps3 disintrest. I figure that will eventuall change when the ps3 becomes world dominate again in another year :)

I thought I would make this first post a little bit about myself... I have been playing games from the time I was in preschool and learned about them. I remember some rich people at my church had this triangle console you could play. It had a racing game, a shooter, and a centipede type game. It was dumb. A few months later I saw my first Atari which was almost as cool as seeing my first arcade machine

Anyway I skipped the whole nes thing and went straight into c64/amiga. After college it was all pc games, a brief trip into 3do insanity, and then playstation consoles. Last summer, in anticipation of ps3, I sold my pc box off. That made me sad as I had to give up my 60 pally in wow. I would also attend local lan parties almost monthly to play games like UT & Ghost Recon. I finally gave it up because I was sick of spending $1500+ every other year on a good enough pc. I bought a few macs for the house and there has been pc goodness here eversince. My only console/gaming machine now is the ps3.

I was disappointed with the online community...specifically there is no community right now. I think HOME is going to really change this up and make the ps3 really shine, but I want to meet some cool people and play right now!!! I played thru and beat RFOM and Motorstorm. I have won about 25% of my online races, but I have only played like 25 games online, as since most people online don't use there dumb headsets, like what is the point of being there? The AI is plenty smart, But I would much rather talk smack and play with some cool people online then play the suicidal AI who cheats. At least it looks good while it robs me of wins in the last turn.

Anyway I am pumped about the new multiplayer games coming out this spring/summer for the ps3 and want to meet up with some people so I can be ready to dominate. RFOM was awesome, but no one ever played as a team so I quickly lost interest. Currently I am playing motorstorm nonstop since it came out. Outside of GT4 it is the best driving game on any system....and it's first gen!  I am also about 25 hours into FFXII.

I am finding that the game machine I play the most now is PSP. It is so handy, it goes into my cargo pants pocket. I can listen to podcasts, surf, show people pictures, and play games. I am about half way thru Syphon Filter, almost thru Loco-Roco, and still the first rank in Monster Hunter Freedom.

So yes...I am getting old. Somehow I ended up driving a saab, owning a mac, owning cats, married, and only have 1 console. That is so bizarre now that I write that down. Warhawk comes out this week and I hope to pick that up next week sometime. I also am planning on buying Lair tomorrow. I hope some great co-op games get released, and I hope to be playing them with you all.... Anyway that's a good enough intro. I should save this .... for something. Was like writing a school paper or something....
