Randumb Thoughts...

In case you're wondering that's Miss Alanah Rae's booty with our logo on that...

Funny things that I've realized...

Twitter has a CRAPLOAD of porn bots and apparently they all wanna follow me... Man a brotha wants to know what his favorite porn stars are doing and it has to be ruined by bots... LOL

In watching the original David Blaine special, I wonder sometimes why didn't someone scream "HOLY SHIT A WIIIIITCH!" and proceeded to light him on fire with a zippo... The reactions to his magikery is prettty freakin' priceless...

In playing Rock Band 2, I realize that my brother has a set of pipes on him... Gotta remember to put earplugs in like a real rock band... and soundproof my room...

Speaking of Rock Band, I'm waiting for Rock Band: John Mayer...

Oh and when are they coming out with a "real rock band" pack to download? You know... during career mode:

"Your drummer is now addicted to heroin and is now on Addiction with Dr. Drew... Lose $1,000,000 and a million fans"

In talking with my brother he now realizes why I say the goofy crap I say... What can I say my earliest memories of my dad is he'd have company over and porn would be on the TV... LOL

It's a beautiful day, don't let it get away!

Hmmm....

Still debating whether or not I want to get Killzone 2, that's if they even have the darn game... maybe I'll wait for a minute to see what the reviews for online are... Man I'm getting addicted to this online stuff...

EDIT: Got the game, awesome graphics and compelling single player game play... Some frame rate hitches but nothing that would kill the deal or anything... But I'll play me some online mode before I put the jury to bed on this one... But I will say the only annoying thing is the cameras which made me sick because it's that Saving Private Ryan camera stuff that always gets me sick... Oh well, I'll get used to it... I hope.. lol!

I'm So Lucky...

I was sitting here looking at the message board for my SOCOM clan and I had a realization... I am such a lucky person to have found such a great group of people to game with. I've actually been able to find friends in all parts of the U.S. and Canada, that is SOOO cool!

Matter of fact one of my friends Paco and his cousin Hector just visited my hometown and we just had a big ol' order of wings at Joe Bob's Chicken Palace.

Some of you know Paco's work from the AWESOME header that he designed for this blog (Check the link at the bottom)! He also designed the uber-cool sig that's above! We have a lot of things in common and similar values and the same sense of humor so of course that stoked the fire of friendship... Of course the fuel is fired because Paco actually laughs at my antics in the game... LOL! I couldn't imagine a better squad mate because he actually has some skill to balance out my nonsense...

We even play other games like Skate 2 and Street Fighter IV which are fun as all get go because we can just hang out and have fun. Same goes with Tiger Woods with some of my other clanmates!

It's been a trying 5 months since I moved back to Reno, with my Dad still recovering from a stroke that left him paralyzed on his left side. It's been made even harder in that my Dad's mental facilities aren't all there. Couple that with the fact that I haven't been able to get a job in this stinkhole makes the time here even more stressful!

I can honestly say, if it wasn't for the members of Riders of the Apocalypse, I probably would've spiraled into REALLY bad depression... The character of the membership of my clan is unlike many I have ever seen! It's really a family... Albeit a dysfunctional family but a family nonetheless... Again, all from a video game...

I guess this post is to really recognize those awesome folks who I can count as my sisters and brothers from other mothers!

Thank you ROTA!!!

HADOUKEN!!!!

Ryu's my homeboy...  lol!

So I broke down and got my nostalgia on...  I got Street Fighter IV...  I'll have to play through this and see if it gives me that lovin' feeling that I used to get in the arcades!  But I mainly got it for the online capability gotta take my homeboy Paco on and getting our hadoukens on!  lol!  

Skate 2...

In response to my boy Paco's entry about Skate part Deux, I had to put this gem of a clip on the web! This will show you why I play Skate 2... Although I was actually trying to grind the ledge...

Extreme I am not friends...

AFRO!!!

Afro Samurai...  I just got this video game a couple of days ago, excellent graphics and good ol' classical hack and slash type game.  The only issue that I've seen with it is it has a few framerate hitches during the game though, which is annoying but bearable.  Samuel L. Jackson (i.e. the reason I got the game in the first place) has some pretty funny dialogue in it.  But nothing that you couldn't watch Snakes on a Plane to get.  LOL  

One of the funky things that I noticed immediately was that it didn't have a HUD (Heads Up Display) to help guide you around.  The developers wanted the game to play more like a live comic book and I certainly understand it.  However it was more than one occasion where I ended up on another side of the map and needing to call on the Ninja "GPS" (again voiced by Sammy J.).  So that was kind of annoying, but what can you do?  

Overall though pretty fun game to play, lots of blood, guts and gore and dialogue that would definitely NOT make it safe for kids to play...  

Ok...  That's one now I gotta play Skate 2 as well...  Sheesh too many darn choices!!!  

Me FREAKIN' Tallica!!!

Metallica's newest album ROCKS!!!

Just downloaded the new Metallica album Death Magnetic, and I will have to say that it's the return of the "old" Metallica.  The last 3 "albums" were a cute experiment but the return to the thrash metal days had me headbangin' in my car driving to the hospital for my mom's surgery and driving home.  Hearing the first hard riff made me go "that's it...".  I think Metallica is really the only metal band that I've stuck with over the years, especially since I'm more of a rap and r&b-type of cat...  Hey we all need some music that makes us angry and I can say there's nothing better than a hard hitting Metallica album to satiate that.

Hmm...  and in other news, our SOCOM clan had our first squad scrimmages this past Sunday and I am proud to say that The Bravo Bandits were the victors in our encounter with Charlie squad!  Considering that we haven't played together very long (most of our squad is new to ROTA) we did one heck of a job!  I'm proud to be a Bandit!

I can also say that I am utterly addicted to SOCOM Confrontation...  I actually can't wait to hit the PS button on my controller to game with my clan.  I now know why they call it So-Crack... LOL!  Good lord I gotta get something else to bide my time like a job  maybe... ;o)  

Oh well, until that happens... I'll be working on ranking my way up to Chief Petty Officer before the new year!
