What Pissy said!

How do you have time to play even a third of them? lol

I'm sure most everyone has heard that quote a couple thousand times or two. As much as we make fun of the old time ways of living and doing things. As I grow more and more senior than junior I can actually appreciate that quote particularly in the gaming industry. For the last 5-10 yrs most gaming producers concentrate on the visual effect and leave the actual gaming experience to be greatly lacking. I speak from the idea of how you as a player can play with your friends and not have the unrestrained influx of trouble making people. You know some of those old games like COD4 and COD5(WaW). You see the lure of a great game draws us to spend hard earned money to buy the updated versions of the games we have grown to love. Today I rarely even buy a game anymore that I have had bad experiences with online! The question is what makes the COD 4 & 5 games so attractive to most of us after all these years? To start with there are many genres of games just as there are styles and genres of music and movies. Ever since I can remember since World of Warcraft came out I can remembering the resistance to play it. But it is not even close to being the same class or genre as the COD series. I don't have at my fingertips all the correct terminology as to the genres they all fall under but I can tell you I now play World of Warcraft much more that the COD games. I suppose most of it is I am getting much better at that game and I can play it all night when I can't sleep, all by myself. The biggest reason for resisting playing it back in the day was the monthly fee to play it. I later learned that that monthly charge is basically for the upgrade and management of the seemingly endless amount of servers they have world wide. Not much different than they way we do here at XI. I mention this because a few years ago the makers of COD decided they wanted some of that money themselves but with a different twist. You must buy the map packs and today etc. Up till this I bought the games faithfully and was sucker punched like every other Idiot out there. One of the coolest things about these 2 old games is the fact you can mod them to play the way you want to play on your server. I believe that the game companies were very short sighted when they decided to go in this direction. I also think if they had left the madding in the newer games most of us would have almost all of them and play them on our servers. I have what seems to be a return back to those old games instead of buying the newest and fanciest flops and be completely disenchanted as a consumer! It's been several yrs I haven't bought any new games other than WoW. Oh yeah they are far from perfect but at least I don't have to worry about not knowing anyone I play with on our servers. I talk about WoW because I am familiar with it and I play it. Many of you all may have other reasons for playing or not playing certain games I may think are fine, and that is okay with me. I want to give a HUGE shout out to the people who help manage and run our servers without any more problems than is possible. Thank you all and I can't even name you anymore but you make all this fun possible!

Grats! thanks for putting up with me! That alone earned you this award!

I am listening! lol

Happy birthday!!!!

I was in Starbucks recently when I suddenly realized I desperately needed to pass gas. The music was really loud so I timed my release with the beat of the music. After a couple of songs I started to feel better. I finished my coffee and noticed that everyone was staring at me.....and then I remembered I was listening to the music on my iPod!.....and how was your day? That's what happens when old people start using technology !

Yes I are! lol

It was August of 2003 the last time I stepped foot in my hometown of Cortez CO. This Sunday I will be there to attend a family reunion that all 8 of me and my siblings have plans on attending. It's been decades since that has happened say like 4 decades! I am excited and the only regret I have is while I am gone my little princess will turn 5 and I won't be here to celebrate with her. Tho she said I could definitely call her! Not only are me and the sibs getting together but also our extended family as well! And also while I am there the little country school I went to is having their reunion the day before I return home. As you may understand I am so stoked. I will see ya'll back in the forums when I return on August 14th! The most important part of this trip will be when I get to see my dear old mother. She has Alzheimer's disease and while she gets me confused with others she always remember a swear word I said under my breath! This is most likely the last time I will see her alive! I got to go and pack now! Cya later Idiots!

Especially some that's not infected with moose piss virus!
