Week 3.....

So, last week I mentioned the clans and groups I had discovered….

Well…. The Borderlands group never responded, the clan night leader guy was a no-show, and, since I haven’t been able to get online for a while, I haven’t even met the leader of the other clan group I petitioned.

It turns out, If you don’t play Black Ops or Halo, it’s not so easy to find a clan, or make friends here.  In fact, it’s a lot like being transferred to a new school, and you’re the new kid on the playground, and it’s already, like, March, and everyone already has their groups, and you’re just trying to be friends with someone – anyone – while you try to figure out which group you identify most with, and then the challenge of convincing them that you’re one of them, and not a dork …….    It’s like that.

Aaahhhh memories……..

Anywho…. I guess I’ll probably have to petition some more groups and see what happens. It’s a shame that this site doesn’t have an official welcome wagon, like a sponsor type person who would take you under their wing and teach you the ins and outs of clanning, introduce you to people, etc.  I guess the invite-only update will take care of that. On the other hand, I do love the trial and error, the exploration. I’m not sure I would know what to do if I were just “in my element”. It’s more fun this way.

Sadly, the entire rest of my week has been terribly boring; Nothing extra good, nothing extra bad – just regular, ordinary boring. Blaahhhh. Gratefully, though, Dead Island is coming out Tuesday, so I have that to look forward to next week.

This week’s Shout Outs go to Zikan,  ATC_1982,  and Jedi_Kez once again, because last week’s comment made both me and my husband LOL. Well done, Kez!

too bad the clan hunting isnt going very well. its true that a lot of people play BLOPS, Halo and lets not forget Battlefield. keep trying though. you dont have to be in a clan. if anything, just explore the vast forums and make friends that way.

the welcome wagon is a little defunct right now. i usually help out as many peeps as i can, but work trumps everything in the summer. as fall rolls in, i'll be back to the usual stuff. if you're having a hard time drop me a PM. let me know what you're into. i'll see if i can stir anything up. as for me...the only game i play is halo. i don't even consider myself a gamer. i'm just a haloer.

Summers are usually slow around here. Most people are enjoying the few months of outside activity they can get before the cold rolls in. Give it time.

You might want to keep in mind it's a gaming website. Not having an easy time making friends sort of defines a significant chunk of these dorks' lives. All of the summer things were true too. The pace does pick up when the leaves change and the gaming drought ends. Still, some of us appreciate a nicely written blog about your experience on the site. Welcome! Don't give up on us feeble nerds yet. Somebody will take you under their wing.

Hey you can try either 2old2remember or 2oBS there's a few of us that play borderlands and have a pretty extensive library of other games. Of course we still do halo and cod enough to make our eyes bleed.

I would take you under my wing :-) but right now I don't have any games I want to play :-( I guess I could just play something :-)

Remember go to the Cabal for the all ladies group ... As far as Clans go it is kind of hard to find, but some descriptions are miss leading .... If the clan leader for the borderlands clan has not gotten back to you yet ... Safe bet you would not like it there IMO of course ... I would take the advice from Corbin ....

2O4BS is always good all around clan. As for it being slow, it's the summer doldrums as fewer games are released during the summer. People seem to vanish for a while. As fall kicks in, they start coming around again. Hang in there.
