My signature on the ROTA message board (Woo Hoo I got a signature now!!! I know, I know I'm such a nerd...)
What's my poison? SOCOM Confrontation... Why after avoiding playing console games online like the plague for the past few years I've gone over to the dark side? Well the answer is simple... Due to the amazing wisdom of the developers of SOCOM my favorite video game franchise about my heros the U.S. Navy SEALs made the game ONLINE ONLY!!! Now I questioned this from the moment that they announced that they would not have a single player mode. I believed I cried out "THIS IS A F@##IN OUTRAGE!!!"... But being the slave to my franchise I said I'll wait and see how this is gonna turn out... Turns out I've actually enjoyed myself getting fragged and learning the subtle nuances of playing online...
Of course it wasn't without it's rough points... First off I decided to go around the bush and actually download the game from the Playstation Store... First things first, that took a loooooong time to download!!! More than 3 hours I think. But I got through that and installed the game on my hard drive and was ready for some action... So what happens? Due to server issues I couldn't even get into the game to customize my player!!! What a suck fest!!! Of course I end up going to the SOCOM site and find out a lot of other players are having the same problem that I am! PHEW! At least it's that... So after playing Metal Gear Solid 4 another few days I logged back in and now it's cookin'!
Of course being a FNG (Fudgin' New Guy in case you didn't know...) I didn't know what to do so I went to a room and proceeded to get lit up like a zippo full of lighter fluid!!! But it was strangely fun to listen to all the dudes talking crap in there! I figured that I needed to find myself a clan to play with, so on to the SOCOM message board I go! I found Riders Of The Apocalypse a clan that was geared more towards the older crowd (i.e. me...) They were a no cheating, no cussing, no stress clan, sounds like my cup of tea if you ask me!
I will have to say that the members of my clan that I played with were very cool! I am glad I decided to get into this clan because it was the most fun I've had in a long time! So thank you to all the folks at ROTA for taking me in and giving me such a warm welcome... Also thank you for showing me that gunning online is a whole lot of FUN!!!
So if you're looking for a game of SOCOM look for colt556 on the PS3 network... Just go easy on me... I'm still not broken in yet as my rank in my clan would indicate... ;o)
