It’s good to vent.

I like the idea of clans. I like talking about games. I like the bond that comes from a shared interest. And to the people who responded to my previous blog. Yeah I was just venting. I won’t go into the gory details about why I left my previous clan. And yes it does usually boil down to a difference of opinion with one person. I don’t actually have a lot of principles, but the ones I do have I stick to. J

Clans can Suck It.

Leaving a great clan that is focused on one game that you felt you wouldn't be playing for a long time because you had picked up "The New" Game in town.

You join a clan focused on "The New" game in town only to leave because you didn't like the way it was run.

8 years.

Today Jennifer and I are celebrating our 8th wedding anniversary. Eight years doesn’t seem like a long time. But I feel like we have been together forever. We are one of those couples that make people uncomfortable because we are so damn happy together. We both often get surprised responses when people find out we are married. I guess there is a way married couples are supposed to act. It’s not always sunshine and roses. We have our ups and downs. But we work through the problems together. If there is a secret to a successful marriage, I would say its how you face life together. Remember shit happens, but are you funky enough to deal with it. I am looking forward to another eight years.

So many games, so little time.

 November has three big games coming out, Assassins Creed, Mass Effect and COD4. But I am only really interested in two of them. I am experiencing a certain amount of game burnout. So many quality games in such a few short months. I haven’t played a good RPG since Oblivion. I love immersive open ended games, with a strong emphasis on the single player element. And, I also like FPS. But I am not that interested in online games right now. Not enough to support two titles. I was psyched initially for COD 4, but slowly it has slid off my radar. It seems that COD4 is targeted at the multi-player crowed. Halo 3 fills my need for a good multi-player game. COD4’s single player game is apparently short, too short. Half-Life 2 is going to fill my single player needs for a while. So sadly COD4 has joined my list of second string games. But really it’s not like I am gonna really notice its absence with Mass Effect and Assassins Creed to occupy my time.

Yeah…. Friday Blog Part II

So there where these brothers they ruled the London cime scene in the 60’s, nasty they were, ruled through fear. But they cultivated this appearance of being gentlemen and being untouchable. They where known as the Krays or by their first names Reggie and Ronnie.

 Morrissey - Last of the Famous International Playboys

 Blur - Charmless Man

 Renegade Soundwave - Biting My Nails

Yes the last video is kind of a stretch. But bonus points to anyone who can make the connection.
