Attack of the Show, a program that runs on G4-Tv, has an weekly Lan party sponsored by various parties. This weeks Lan party was for Battlefield 2, which happens to be the game that I am totally engulfed in at the moment. So I signed up hoping I might get a chance to show my stuff on a show that I fluently watch at lunch breaks. And low an behold I got an invite to come play. After rushing home from my parents house, which I have dinner with every Thursday, I got online and logged on to the server with the information provide to me in the invite.
I jumped into the middle of a game, the map was a 64 player map that I really don't play much but that doesn't' phase me, initialed I got 4 kills by removing a chopper filled with point whoring bitches from the sky. Then I took down two tanks and 3-5 more assaulting members of the opposing force when suddenly I was disconnected and returned to the mulitplayer promt screen in the game. I logged on again to discover that the server had restarted. Ok, that sucks since what I had just done put me in first but ok I will live with it.. So starting the second match immediately began gaining points by taking flags, and killing a few here and there. The hole time there are planes, attack choppers, and Transport choppers over head trying to take the control points. I managed to down another attack chopper and a few guys, raising my score to third. But the hole time it was laggy as shit. I usually play on European servers, which are a crossed the Atlantic ocean and never have a problem, but for some reason playing on a California server caused major lag. Although I was not the only one, many other players were complaining about it instead of playing. But I tried my best to over come the constant skipping of players (when you shoot at a person then they disappear and reappear half way across the screen) and managed to get some kills here and there. I then glanced at the score and noticed the guy in first was in a chopper and just randomly killing things on the ground, and I had top score on the losing team which over all I was in second but then I forgot about the commander. The commander on the winning team gets double pinot score when they when, and well it pushed him in to second place so I had to settle for third.. SUCKS ASS!!! Then the server disconnected again.
I log back on and began my battle, the lag was even worse. I managed to get first on the losing team again, but the 4 other people had a higher score on the winning team, so I had to settle for 5th. Which I believe if there was no lag, I probably could have gotten first on both games!!!
oh'well thems the breaks I guess...
Will defiantly try again next time the do a Lan party.. I want that first spot!!!

Transfomer Rock
As a kid i grew up with out cable and had to rely on the good old 3 basic Networks for my cartooning pleasures. Back then the classics were He-Man, Fat-Ablert, and the smurfs. Gi-Joe unfortunatly was on cable as well as Transfomers, i remember begging my parents to stay at my grandparents house on friday nights so i could get up and watch satureday morning cartoons on USA network. Thus my hole introduction to the Transformers universe. I soon got the toys, and not many of them, since they were costly back then and i was raised you watch your money and spend it on what you need and not what you want. As a child i had freinds that had parents that thought other wise, one freind in paticualy Joe Ramsey. Joe's dad had past away and his family had a large amount of money and his mom bought him every transformer that was released at that time. I would spend hours at his house playing with all and admiring his collection of transformers. Today i wonder what Joe did with all those toys, since i look on EBay and i see he could have made a fortune selling them, or be admired in the toy collector world for having this collection of all Generation 1 toys.
Back the piont, Transformers kick ass! The concept is simple, aliens for another plant crash landed on earth. They have the abilty to transform there bodies to shapes and styles. The hole story of what happens after they land on earth and and return to there planet is an interesting one, with a Leader of good and evil battling thru out the cosmos. Thanks to the internet i have found the door way to what happened before they came to earth, or at least i thought i had. These days they play the transformers cartoon on Cartoon Network on saturdays, but they are not the same, they are new stories that are far more fantasy then possiblity. There are many new univierses now, all different stories with the same caractors, kinda kills the hole story and enterainment of the seris but poeple wish to make money.
Personaly my favorit was G1, so i discovered there were comics release of the battle that happend before they left cybertron... so i got them and read them. I purchased two volumes, and the third, well i was sadden when i found that the comic book company that published the books has folded up.. DreamWeaver had closed it doors in Sept 2004... boy do i feel retarded.. i started reading a comic way after it was released, and now i find out i can't read any more becuase there are no more! this sucks.. but transformers rule!

Ever so often in the working enviorment there comes a time when the women act up. Yes i said it the "women", cause you know the male speicies is highly unlikely to cry unless there is a loss or something realy serious happening. Working with females is something that takes patients and suttleness. I say this because alot of women are very emotional and think that everything action is an attack upon there selfesteam or there personal views. Wake people, it's not! You are paid to due a job, on that you chose to due, no one forced you to sit in that chair and answer the phone.
I have seen a many female co-workers break down and cry in the relaxed work enviorment that i drag myself to everyday. Many reasons that i see from a male's prosecptive as being nonsense and no reason to cry or get up set about. But yet i guess thats why i am male. One women cries when some one tells her she messed up, another cries when the frustration of doing her job becomes overwelming. Each have there reasons which when you get to the heart of it could be understandable, yet how the situations that happen and the events that take place after words are little bizzar and poorly delt with buy the management. One of the women mentioned above runs to the bathroom, where i might add the womens bathrooms have couches and tables which are covered in magazines, where they lay and cry into pillows or rinse there eyes out for "hours". And i do mean hours! They run crying and you will not see them agian till after lunch or 4 hours later. Yet no one question what happens in the bathrooms. I have sent informants in to find out what is going on and there are times when i have been told women are just sitting around talking and bullshiting about nothing. Yes i have informants, they are needed espeically when you need to talk bussniess with one of the women that is "crying" in the bathroom. My personal view is that this is crap, just becuase a person has issues doesn't mean they have to display them or even pull other people into them at work. Do it on your own time! If a man ever pulled this shit at work, he would be hauled into the bosses office and fired or at least sent home for a time being with no pay. Why do women get specail treatment.
Not all women are this way, but when you work with 20+ of them, at least half of them are explosive, and are the type that will cry at work. And to those that are not part of this half, i say thank you, and it's a pleasure working with you.
This world is getting weaker by the minute, and everyday is new adventure in stupidty and retardedness. Perhaps i should go home everytime i want to go to the bathroom, since the men's stals are so discusting i don't want to plant my ass on that dirty brown seat!

Gaming.. Why is it so addicting? So here i sit at work, waiting for my program to run and print of a bunch of orders, and while i wait i am entiest to search the internet.. for what i realy don't konw...
But still i do manage to always come back to the sites i normally vist, most of them are related the game of the year.. In 2003 it was Renagade, which for those that don't know it is a First Person Shooter developed by the makers of Command and Conquer. And it is totally set on the story of the first release of the game in 1995. Anyway i would get online and play with all the guys that usually hopped on at that time. After some time, a guy the i played alot of matches with, one i considered my equal as far as "talent" is concerned approached me one day and asked i would like to start a clan with him. His Name was Lobos. He was a cool charactor, well liked, and always acused of cheating like i was. So we start a clan called Global Elite Empowerment or GEE. I ask a few poeple i knew and he ask a few people he knew, bringing our membership up to 13 or 14 members. We were not a bad clan, we had the heavy hitters, just we did not work to well together some times. Each person kinda did there own thing alot. After about three or four months of developing this clan, we had a website and a server to call our own. I made a horrible mistake, i said some harsh words to some one that really i did not know, just happened that day in paticaular was a bad day all around. A member of my clan copied what i wrote and showed the person this letter of just irattional thoughts was directed to, and i was kinda put on the hot seat. I knew what i did was wrong, and i admitted to it and left the clan. i basicaly took a long break for four months. I tried other games that were out there, and basicaly did my own thing. I returned to the clan to play Renegade to see alot of new people and new problems. After some times my personal life stated to get more interesting, and my gaming time was cut so i kinda disappeared agian for a few months. This time when i returned the clan had changed, there was a merger with another clan DTA that had faild, and then DT which happened to work. The new name for the Clan was GDE or Global Dark Empowerment. Lobos was still the leader and in there were others that were doing really well. Once agian there were alot of new faces. I was still good at the game, was able to take on just about any one and win, that is untill the server starts laging on you... Then the unthinkable happened - LOBOS HAD JOINED ANOTHER CLAN! Basicaly he was double claning on us and was caught. Now in the clan world this is something you don' t do unless you tell ever one what you are doing and why. And i say this becuase you could have a clan war with the other clan and he would know your startagies and movements... Well inlight of this news we all were pretty harsh on him. And now that i look back i feel bad for some of the things that i said to him, he just really disapointed me. Any way at this time a new game had been released Halflife 2 and its mod brothern Counter Strike:Source. This game was not for the week minded computers... i took a liking to this game fast. It was fast action, and great fun with other people. So engulft myself into playing everyday when i came home from work. At the time the girlfriend worked nights, so i would sit and play all night till she got home. Once agian i got really good at this game fast. i enjoyed playing with whom ever, and i never really cared if people cheated, just means i need to find a new way of killing them.
Durning this release of this game, a few members form my clan decied they didn't want to be in gDE anymore, and went off and started there own clan SGC or Super Gaming Commandos (yes it is a stupid name). They wanted to play CS:S for there clan, meanwhile my clan (GDE) was not going to support the game, becuase not enough people had the game nor the computer power to run it. So i told my clan i was leaving to play with SGC untill a new game that we have all been waiting for came out BattleFeild 2. So i played with SGC, had some really good times, i was pretty good.. only a few other people even touched me when i played. and the ones that got me were usually alot better than me, so really it just made me play harder.
Then it came, the release of Battlefeild 2. The game i have been addicted to since i stated playing the demo. It is a great game, so great i even dream about it. As far as how good i am, well if i didn't have job, nor a life i probably would be at the top, but due to haveing a life i can't possible do that, so i just play for fun. I get home ever day and jump online for 2 hours and play.. And yes i play with both SGC and GDE players.. i am GDE after all, and some how i am still the leader of that clan. I really don't konw why, i don't do anything, but post my thoughts, and bitch at people for oversteping there bounderies on issues. Besides that i love playing. AngryC4killer has become a good partner in crime on the game, he is good, sometimes he gets alittle angry about nothing but still we all do at some piont... temper is somthing you must learn to control and keep undercontrol if you wish to play online games alot.
well it's lunch time so i better run..
