2old2play SW LAN Phoenix

We had a LAN here in Phoenix over the weekend. I thought you guys might want to see some pics and think about going next year. Phoenix is wonderful in February!

Sorry guys, I had to leave my house at 5:30 Mon. morning to be in Prescott Valley for the week (a 2 hour drive). I just got home today and had a chance to upload pics. Great to meet all of you and put faces to names. After seeing Jays pics I'm worried that he has a man crush on me since I seem to be in all his pics!

Here we go!

Thogar on drums, Sundevil on Guitar and Biggunz in the back.

Jay and Lizzard on the right, Red leaving the room, and Buzz on the left, not to mention some sweet cookies in the forground!

BigGunz and his baby, Thanks for the cold brew all weekend!

Spaghetti anyone? What a mess of cables, amazingly it all worked great!

Cannabis with hands down the crappiest tv at the LAN! (thanks Ron!)

Infection at 6am, just before we threaten to lock him in the LAN room for the night? I mean the rest of the early morning!

What a great time, thank you Cannabis, Pearl, and R3d for keeping me up till 6am both nights. Thank you Ron for waking me up at 9am both mornings.
I can't wait for next year, it will be even bigger and better!

Midnight Crazieness

I pre-ordered my copy of Halo 3 from Circuit City which didn't open until 10am this morning. I went to fire up Bioshock last night but, when I logged on I had about 30 peeps on my friends list already playing Halo 3! Now I just moved from Michigan (EST) to Arizona(PST) so most of my east coast friends already were playing the game before it was even available out here! That is when the Halo bug bit me. I knew a friend of mine (USMC1) was going to be waiting in line at Gamestop right down the street so, I hopped in my truck and went to see what was going on. I got there about 11pm and there were about 150 people in line already. After a few minutes of searching I found my friend who was about 20th in line. I think he had been there since 8:30 or so. We hung out and waited for 12:01. Not too exciting, about quarter to 12 two timmies came running through the mall wearing some of the crappiest looking MC outfits made of cardboard and duct tape! lol I wish I had my camera phone with me but I forgot it in my rush to get to the mall.

Not very exciting but I just thought I would share my experience and see if any of you had stories to tell of your wait in line!

Halo 3 Swag!

I had to wait until today to get my game but look what I got with it!

Another one for size reference, my wife thinks this shoul go on the ceiling above our bed! lol

Halo 3 Goodness!

What a sweet freakin' game!

I had to wait until today to get my copy but this is what I got with my copy!

Diamondbacks

So I went to my first sporting event in AZ. Company field trip to a Diamondbacks game. First time for a NL game. I'm from Michigan and follow the Detroit Tigers which are AL, so I wasn't all that interested in the game. Then I found out ame earlierthat they were playing the SF Giants, cool at least I will get to see Barry Bonds. But Noo! he stubbed his toe in a game earlier this week! Wimp! The D'Backs won 5 to nothing pretty easily.

Anyways very different experience going to a game in AZ. They had the roof closed when we got there and the AC cranking? I know it was 98 degrees outside but, it just didn't feel right watching a ball game indoors with the AC set to 75. Much to my relief about ten minutes before the game they opened the roof, which was pretty cool to watch. Still it was better but it felt like the difference between a sunroof and a convertible.

I will miss Comerica Park back in Detroit! Oh well!
