Gotta Love this time of year!!

 I am a huge football fan. There has been football on every day this week!! I absolutely love it. I cannot get enough. I coach a Pop Warner team, so that has me busy enough with football and then I get to watch it every night too!! Thank god I have a wife who loves football almost as much as I do. Or I would probably be divorced by now. Not to mention on top of all this, I play NCAA '08, Madden '08 and just got All Pro Football. So if I am not coaching, or watching I am playing video game football,lol. Maybe I need to check into a football rehab or something,lol. Too much fun.

 Not to mention, I coach all week, we goto our local high school games pretty much every Friday night, I went to the Gator vs Troy game a couple of weeks ago, I have went to both Jacksonville Jaguar home games so far, I went to the WVU @ South Florida game last Friday night.  Weird thing is I never get remotely tired or sick of football. Again I am so thankful to have married my wife who is a football junkie as well!! Makes life so much easier this time of year.  I have a few buddies who catch nothing but shit form their wives this time of year. One of them went with me to the WVU/ USF game , his wife called him on the way down there at least 10 times, a 3 hour ride form Jacksonville. And she bitched at him the whole way. I felt so bad for him,lol.  I spoke with my wife once during the game,lol, she called me to give me shit about how crappy my Mountaineers were doing

 On a side note, a bunch of us from PAR and 2oH have been playing some retro games lately. We picked up COD 2 and Quake 4 to play again. Some of us for the first time. I have had more fun playing games these past few days than I have in a long time (not counting playing football games I always have a blast when playing that,lol). We all have Halo 3 also, and have played that quite a bit. We had just been stuck in a rut I guess of basically nothing but RB6 for so long. I hated even putting in my XBOX  at one point. Here lately though I think I may want to throw it back in again and see if my time away from it will make it fun again. 

 Quake 4 though, I think I have had the most fun with. It is just a nice change of pace from the shooters we have playing for a year or so now.  I just wish more people still played it. It is just pure run and gun fun! The very first FPS I ever played was Unreal Tournament on Dreamcast. Then OO7 and Perfect Dark on N64. I have been hooked on shooters ever since. Quake reminds me alot of those days. I cannot wait until Unreal Tournament 3 comes out on XBOX 360.  Now this is not something I would want to play exclusively, but just something to change the pace of the slower tactical shooters we usually play.

So what was the first shooter that you started playing? And do you still play it or something similar to it?

And yes, I am at work, and bored to death,lol!
