&lt;p&gt;As many of you know I am one of the ones that refuse to give up all the things I worked so hard to get. The thought of giving up all that crap never even crossed my mind.&amp;nbsp; Why do I need some silly icon next to my name? I just want my guns and perks and to play the game the way I want to.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Well that is what I said two days ago. Then I got the itch. There it was that damn prestige button taunting me every time I looked at the barracks. Calling my name as if to say &amp;quot;comon, just try it, everyone is doing it&amp;quot;. I quickly turned away and ignored the evil that was calling me. The next night as always it was time to see what challenges I needed and there it was. calling me once again Do it, Do it, DO IT!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Its powers are to strong it was pulling me in. Maybe I could just click on it, I say to myself. You know, just to see what it says. CLICK. Hmmm more info what could that be about CLICK! Ahh a warning. Well that&amp;rsquo;s that I&amp;rsquo;m backing out. I have defeated you once again demon.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Later that night&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Game 1 game 2 game 3 wow, I sure am doing well tonight. Better check my stats. While looking things over I hear it &amp;quot;hey pssst, Over here&amp;quot; What was that? I ask my wife. Did you hear that? Hear what, she says. Oh never mind I must have had too much to drink. Then again &amp;quot;Comon just take a peek&amp;quot;. There it goes again. Surely you must have heard it that time I asked. The look I received from my wife complete with rolling eyes says she clearly thinks I&amp;rsquo;m crazy. I turn back to the game and it happened &amp;quot;I&amp;#39;m waaaaiting&amp;quot;,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;STOP IT!&amp;nbsp; I scream and shut down my Xbox. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Time to watch a movie, cook dinner, play with the kids, anything to take my mind off the tempting evils that are calling me.&amp;nbsp; The night was coming to a close and I went to bed. Happy that I have once again defeated IW and there evil temptation.&amp;nbsp; Till tomorrow&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Little did I know that this night was far from over. As I lay there drifting to sleep it happens.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thump thump, thump thump. &amp;ldquo;Come to me&amp;rdquo; . Thump thump, thump thump &amp;ldquo; Keeeeeith&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;I jump to my feet and I see it, an Erie glow is coming from the game room. Impossible I think to myself. A dream! Yea that&amp;rsquo;s it I&amp;rsquo;m dreaming. I laugh at myself and lay back down.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Thump thump, thump thump. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I sit up and once again I see that Erie glow from the game room. Then it hits me. This was no dream. IT was calling to me again. Don&amp;rsquo;t do it I think to myself. Your stronger then this, don&amp;rsquo;t let it beat you. &amp;nbsp;Why am I doing this to myself it&amp;rsquo;s just a game right? NOOO. LEAVE ME ALONE!! I scream. The glow goes away as quickly as it arrived and all is quite. HA peace at last...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;I wake up the next morning feeling satisfied that I made it another day. I head off to work and as always check the forums when I get in. WOW a whole post of people just like me all refusing to make the switch. It was like a whole team of reinforcements. After a long day I head home excited to play a few good games with the clan and relax. I get home, have my dinner and talk about my day with the family. After dinner I head off to get ready for a night of gaming.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;I switch on the Xbox and head right for my stats. I push right through the barracks pretending that I did not even see the taunting icon. Little did I know I was not fooling anyone. It saw me coming from a mile away. As soon as I had that thought it started. This time was different. It was more sinister, more aggressive then ever. &amp;ldquo;DO IT NOW, DON&amp;rdquo;T BE A PUSSY&amp;rdquo; I shake it off and continue with what I was doing. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Then again &amp;ldquo;PUSSY PUSSY PUSSY blaaaaaa What a PUSSY!!&amp;rdquo; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;In my anger I rush back to the icon and click it &amp;ldquo;I&amp;rsquo;ll show you who&amp;rsquo;s a pussy&amp;rdquo;. WAIT, what am I doing? I said I would never do this. Am I really going to let the minions of IW pull me even deeper into their little game? Am I really this weak? Ok I&amp;rsquo;m just going to view more info again. I&amp;rsquo;m not really going to go all the way. HMM it just says continue. What could it hurt to see what&amp;rsquo;s around the next corner right? Then it happens. I get a warning asking if I&amp;rsquo;m sure because there is no turning back, as if to say I&amp;rsquo;m not man enough to push forward. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;My hands start sweating, my heart is pounding, and I close my eyes CLICK! Suddenly the room is filled with a booming evil laughter. Oh my god what have I done!! I snap back to the main menu. Is it really all gone? No more p90, no more 3 frag perk, no more running silent? It can&amp;rsquo;t be. NOOOOO it&amp;rsquo;s all gone. I compose myself for a few min and head into my first game stripped of all my noob owning powers. I enter the game and I see it. There it was shinning there for all to see right next to my name. I am instantly filled with a new feeling. This was not sadness, this was not fear. This my friends was the feeling of PRESTIGE! &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Till we meet again evil IW minions&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
