Wish you and dad the best, Van. Sounds like he survived the attack, which is a positive outlook and huge thing. They can do amazing things today with the heart. My dad had one at 49 and followed with a triple bypass. Went on to live twenty years, but passed away on a non-heart related ailment. Tough surgery back then, but easier today with technology constantly getting better. Keep us posted!!

Well... to coin a phrase you have often used, bud...."sucked to be you"!! Sorry to hear it was so bad. You pay a lot of money to people who don't have much, you think that you would be treated better. Seems they don't have much else besides tourism and would want "return customers" and more good word of mouth. I know your international and all, but we do have a lot of nice places in the states! Not like you went to get warm, when it was 90's here in lovely Michigan !! At least there were no hurricanes. eh?!! Again, sorry to have such a bummer a time. Was a bad vacation better than being at work?!! Hmmmm? See ya at work Monday, Chief!!

Looks great guys! I like to check out the stats, as there's some interesting things there. And the new stats are even better! One question...how do the bounty hunters collect!! LOL. Maybe I can retire early and play more...hehe!!

Never played that modded server! Was totally bummed when COD2 came out and didn't have the vehicles after playing COD United Offensive sooo long and they did have the vehicles, tanks, jeeps. Loved blowing up the tanks! Remember Base Assault? Had to blow up the bunkers before the other team did. Even COD 5 hasn't met those mods and game types. Miss that UO game. Maybe COD10 will have great graphics, maps AND vehicles?!

Well...he's been playing a while now and been asking if he can join the XI family. You saw him first as LtTravis, but recently changed his name to TheMidgetnator. Was playing a lot of COD4, then MW2, but back in bashing his dad in COD2..grrr (little shit- he'll soon be 14). Anyway hooked him up with Xfire (his name is lttravis96) and will soon replace his mic I borrowed a while ago when mine broke. Asking if he can join up with us Idiots, since he also "fits the bill". Of course I won't let him join the website due to rated "R" content, but he would love to wear the tags if your taking newbies!! LAZ

Wheeew. I was afraid to look at first. Glad it wasn't another form of "Bald meat" in the SIG!! Relief...

Ya....how do I get my subscription going!!

Hello fellow Michigander! Haven't seen you much in COD2 server yet, but will be looking for ya!! Welcome. Got a son a few years younger than you (14 soon). Though he plays MW2 more often, you'll see him now and again also in COD2....the Midgetnator!

I usually have the last word in an argument......but it's usually OUCH!!

Ya, can't wait to frost my mug. Finally getting hot here and cold, cold brew always helps!!

Welcome guys!! It's about time MrTwister....seems like you've been playing W@W in the XI servers forever!!

Fortunate enough to have moved from being too close to Detroit and to outskists where I'm now on one of our many lakes here in Michigan (Lake Fenton). We wait many cold, grey months for a few great ones with fun and great sunsets in the back yard. The winter tundra (man, it gets cold out there!): But gets better!! The kids love it! Me more, I think!! Always a party on the weekneds: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f7SFKh4AtWA

I'm a Lead Electrical Engineer for an Automotive Supplier and been there 32 years (all of my adult life). Supply everything from simple conveyors to industrial washers and test and asembly equipment. We are mainly in Engine and Transmission plants all over the world. German company that also has big division of auto painting - in paint plants, of course). We're right across from CrackXI's "mother ship", the Chrysler Tech Center in lovely Auburn Hills, Michigan (home of the Detroit Pistons). Ya, Michigan's been hurting for some time, but some light coming. Thanks to government GM bailout, most of our work for next few years is with them. Yeah....and they paid back loan early!! But it's SLOOOWW in coming and will likely never be the same. Also in Ford, Chrylser, Cummins, Caterpillar plants. Anyone that makes an engine. Side note: I work with NicktheGrip>XI<, who also is a Lead Electrical Engineer/Manager.

Same shout as Loader, here! But add a fourth shout TO Loader himself, who was my sponsor way back when. So glad to be a part of this awesome family. So many great servers and so little time!! Best gaming servers and website in the world!!

So there's a big rock in Staunt, Virginia Phrog?!

Hey VanHelsing...we're nearly neighbors! I'm in Fenton, Michigan on lovely Lake Fenton. Lived many years in various suburbs of Detroit, but moved out of that area to the even more un-employed, recessed area of Flint! Work for a German company (Durr) and have had many nice trips to Germany - love it there. Usually a layover in Amsterdam which makes it even better...hehehe!! If I lived any where else, it might be the state of Washington - had a few nice vacations there, also. Too bad no jobs in my field there. NIce topic all!! Good to know you all better!!

IS that called "Makin' Bacon"?!

Thanks for remembering my Birthday....though off one day (it's actually the 17th) Wife asked what I wanted....told her a night of gaming/killin you all with no complaining I'm on the PC again!! We'll see if I get my wish Monday night!! Hehehehe!! BTW...what's the verdict on BFBC2? Been thinking about getting it (maybe for B-day to self), but only seen a couple videos on it.

I wa hoping there was some solution because this has been very annoying not to mentioned making it tougher to kill you all Changed the setting, but yet to see results later. I only noticed this, though, in COD2. My ping seems constant in COD5.

See KICKASS! Didnt know what to think, but went with bunch of buddies after a few cold brews and was freakin hilarious! 11 year old girl stole the lead role. Like Zombieland, which was also full of bloody gore and humor!! For more serious dramatic movie, try Edge of Darkness, which is also pretty good with Mel in his older years and an older role!

Welcome Greener! Been fun playing ya in the COD5 DM server! I have to ask about the name - is it a reference to weed, like a few others in the clan?! You know, "mines greener than yours". And will kick your ass!! LOL

Thanks for listening Rugger! I forget half the dang names, other than many of the "original" maps released. Beltot (farmhouse) and yes, the Indiana Jones ones are nice old favs. St. Mere Eglis, while a great map, has been up there FOREVER! But there have been so many, including some in the DM server now, I can't remember the names. I'll try to get a list of some we've had before that were good. Not sure how you guys find new ones or what is involved to have them modded for our servers, but a couple links with some cool looking CTF maps are: http://www.strategyinformer.com/pc/maps/callofduty2/map.html or http://thecompanyhub.com/index.php/downloads/call-of-duty-world-at-war/maps.html or http://www.map-factory.org/call-of-duty-2 I'm sure you know of some of these sites. Anyone else got any requests?! Thanks again, Rugger for a BIG part of making this clan the BEST!!

Seems like a long time since some new maps arrived on the COD2 CTF server. Notice attendance has been very light lately - many are in the DM server (Pete, Blindowl, Little Old Man - CTF regulars!). A few CTF maps have people bailing early, like Complex, Clarvioux, Desert Idiots). Got to be some old favs to put back up - Beltot, Indy and some that are now up in the DM server are also CTF maps. Missing the CTF game and hoping attendance goes back up! DM is good once in a while, but lack of strategy and teamwork makes it "ho-hum"! Just an opinion!! I know: "Opinions are like assholes....everyone has one"!

Ya! Why can't we have awesome ads like those?!

Missed you in the Boobies post!!
