Ya that dudes the shiznit.I downloaded some of his UT 2003 game demos and a few for UT 2004 he did before he went on to Painkiller.The guy is crazy good.There are better unreal tournament players then him but everything the guy plays hes in the top 5 at and has won many tournaments.Probably the best all around player out there.Hes just good at everything he plays.

[Suicides-by-Steve]

LOL He's still a nerd though.

[Aku]

LOL He's still a nerd though.

ROFL. I like your thinking....I know he can kick my a$$ online, but can he get laid?

[prettypaine]

LOL He's still a nerd though. I'd be a nerd for $450,000
:D

[Suicides-by-Steve]

Jeez, not me. I can be as nerdy as I like... I can go on about classical and theoretical physics for hours (oh, and Cosmology too), but I still wouldn't want to look like him! LOL Not to mention, that $450K? He probably got it chunks. $4500 here, $1000 there... He's blown it all on Fritos and Dr. Pepper by now. When he starts getting deals from MS and Adidas, I'll be there competing right beside him, for now though, I'll be happy to let him have the limelight. *giggle*

The nerd looks to be doing well. I think I read somewhere he won a Maserati too at one event.

[Suicides-by-Steve]

LOL You're falling victim to his own self-marketing gimmicks, too?! LOL Geez, maybe I should fire up a page that says I'm the greatest, and you can join me too (just sign up for my newsletter)? Hmmm....

[DBS]

I still want to take him down but gaming 8 hours a day daily...that is a bit much even looking from my gaming eyes !

[BaneNWN]

LOL You're falling victim to his own self-marketing gimmicks, too?! LOL Geez, maybe I should fire up a page that says I'm the greatest, and you can join me too (just sign up for my newsletter)? Hmmm....

How many world championships have you won??Im actually happy for the guy and more power to him.You make it sound like he didnt do anything to get where hes at.Hes made 450k offf gaming alone thats not including sales of his PC equipment.And all this in a 6 year period not bad if you ask me.The guy has talent pick any FPS you want even the one you know best. and he could have never played it before and still whoop your arse.Personally i find it cool a normal kid can make some serious money off being good at gaming.Ive seen what the guy can do and trust me theres only a handful of guys in 10 million that posses that kind of natural skill to even get close to him.You can practice 20 hours a day to his 1 but if ya dont have the natural talent you have no chance.He had a shootout with some top Unreal Tournament players non pro but very good players nontheless and beat them 1200 to -8.Now anyone whos a serious FPS player knows thats GOD like period!!

[DBS]

Thresh and Fatal1ty are gifted gamers.. I want to win 100,000 k for a tournament just once dammit. Bastards !!!!! Well nice to know someone is making money doing this stuff.

[Suicides-by-Steve]

LOL Bane, give it up man! Let's see the guy start playing Chess online, and see how good he is. Damn, lets see him play Combat Mission and we'll see where it's at. He's got quick reflexes. So ****ing what! And dude, I'm no spring chicken myself when it comes to FPS's. You've never been on the receiving end of my gun, so don't tell me where it's at. I consistantly get within the top 1-10 whenever I play (whichever game), even on dial up connections. I've been offered to join so many "clans" it's not even funny. I just prefer not to. It's not my bag. Maybe I'll start with the Lone_Wolf moniker, and say I'm cool, and send you guys newsletters, so you too can be cool because you know me. Deal? Okay, check your Inbox.

Put your money where your mouth is you wont get a single kill on me at UT 2004.We can go anytime you want.If you get 1 kill on me ill shutup and wont say another word about it but i know for a fact you wont even touch me.1vs1 none of that spam crap.Anytime anyday ill be waiting.

P.S. we can even setup to have all these people spectate us i have no problem with that.bring it on

[Aku]

The pissing contest has begun. LOL.

[prettypaine]

! Let's see the guy start playing Chess online, and see how good he is.. Chess?? no.....thats not nerdy at all...... :rolleyes:

[moya]

In other news: his website is just horrible.

[DBS]

Moya !!! Where you been hiding ??? We found some really great maps for Ravenshield so you gotta pick this one up. Let me know if you get it soon as I think we still will try and get some games going during the week. I can host or Aku but we need a few more in the group.

Soon the Swat 4 expansion will be out and I hope we can get a few more regulars to join in the vgr gaming party. Come on guys..open up and have some fun.

[DBS]

We can do some CoD fun. Bane just picked up a 2nd shift job so we won't see much of him for a while till the weekends.

It could be fun to get a CoD team together....

[Suicides-by-Steve]

I'll host Bane. And the game will be Call of Duty. That jumpy-**** is for amateurs. You keep on worshiping that dude like he's the best thing since sliced bread, I bet he'd love you long time for it.

[Suicides-by-Steve]

Chess?? no.....thats not nerdy at all...... :rolleyes:

LOL Listen to this. Nerdy? It requires intelligence to pla... on wait, never mind.

[Suicides-by-Steve]

Sorry man, can't keep up with the flavour of the week gameplay. The timing and schedules you guys play on is like, totally way off for me. No can do playing at dinner hour.

[Suicides-by-Steve]

We can do some CoD fun. Bane just picked up a 2nd shift job so we won't see much of him for a while till the weekends.

Yeah, sounds good. Need a day and time. I'm good pretty much during the day (weekdays) and much later at night (0300 GMT or thereabouts). But, I'd like to keep the playing to a minimum. I'm going to fire up some CoD now. I need to envisage putting the kid in his place.

[Suicides-by-Steve]

The pissing contest has begun. LOL.

Actually Aku, you're right. I have nothing to prove to Bane. If we meet up in a game, fine. I'm not going out of my way to appease him and his silly assumptions specifically. I know I'm good, and I'll leave it at that. If he wants to dump the praise and gratitude on someone he doesn't even know, then I should let him. I personally don't give a rat's ass about Fatality, his skills, or how much money he makes. I'm very much the same way about musicians, professional footballers, and movie stars. I have my favourite groups and actors, but I certainly wouldn't defend them! LOL Who cares? You should know more about your next door neighbour, than this nerd. It'll be ultimately more rewarding, and fulfilling. Realistically, spending 8 hours a day isn't going to make the majority of us rich, you'd have more success learning a programming language and striking it rich with a security app.

[BaneNWN]

I'll host Bane. And the game will be Call of Duty. That jumpy-**** is for amateurs. You keep on worshiping that dude like he's the best thing since sliced bread, I bet he'd love you long time for it.

For amateurs??You said any game and i chose UT 2004.Has nothing to do with worshiping anyone has to do with giving someone props for making money doing something they love.Your posts are pure jealousy.All you do is rip on someone because they can do something you only wish you could.Thing is Call of Duty while fun even the suckiest players get kills that is the game for amateurs.Getting a kill in COD means nothing its a run and gun and no strategy.Play some UT 2004 for a while get to where you are skillful enough to atleast double jump then let me know.Its understandable you would say what you said about UT 2004 as i seen you play it before with me and renz and wasnt impressed.In your own way you called me out on any FPS game either back your words up or just simply stop responding.

P.S. since UT 2004 is for amatures then it should be easy for you to kill me

I never questioned what you were good at or what you were not.But our good and Fatal1ty's good are not even on the same planet.So you get pissy about anyone who makes more money then we do huh??Your the one critisizing us for being happy for the guy.Get over it man we dont all look at things the way you do.

[Suicides-by-Steve]

LOL Trouble with your reasoning Bane? I DO have more money than that guy... Tied up in real estate (**** half of us guys over 30 probably do). You're also assuming that I equate my happiness and success with the amount of money I make. That is VERY untrue. I can be happy with nothing, and have done so in the past. Your jealousy theory needs to be refined a bit more than that for me to bite. Unlike you, and Fatality, I'm not some kid just out of high school. Man, it takes 250 K just to raise a kid for Christs' sake! LOL And I have 2 so far...

As for the type of game? I want something middle of the line, doesn't matter what it is, but nothing that you beat off to every night. I would hate to have to accuse you of cheating. Painkiller or Serious Sam, whichever... I said ANY game meaning as in ANY game I play, for fun. If I'm going up on a challenge, I want something neither of us is familiar with of course.

However, I'm only going to take as much time to type flames to you out of my daily schedule; I'm certainly not going to go out of my way to appease you as I stated previously. You won't be able to bait me, I'm the master of that myself, too. We'll meet when we meet, not before then. My attitude has nothing to do with this guys success (there's plenty of people more successful out there than me), and everything to do with giving credit where it's due. I called the guy a nerd, and that some of you are falling to his self-marketing scheme, and you're the one that's getting pissy. What, the truth hurt?

Go out and practice, get better than that guy, and then I'll be happy for YOU, until then, I really don't care about some gaming nerd who proclaims he's the best in the world and is totally unknown to me. I really don't care.

[DBS]

Funny you just brought up Painkiller as I just fired it back up now. I am stuck at the damn swamp boss....pissing me off. I do want to see the end of this one !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

250,000 per kid...no wonder I am so broke.....ok I have some kids in like new condition on ebay pronto !


Fire up Chaos Theory and see who is the ultimate spy.

SBS, I hope you can find time to join someday in Swat 4 later or Ghost Recon as Aku , Bane, Payne and Moya (well he was) having a good time. The S4 expansion is suppose to give us much bigger maps...be nice to have a full team. Nothing wrong with debating **** but we all here are on the same team ! Even the lone wolf needs a hand now and then.....

[Aku]

Just to clarify, I watched that 60 Minutes piece last night, and didn't find the guy that nerdy, or that self-promoting (okay, he wears a t-shirt with his name on it, big deal). The recognition seems to be legit and comes from others. But even the biggest names in online gaming - who outside of the online gaming world is going to know who they are? This isn't a celebrity medium on any level even close to sports or movies or t.v. or music.

Yeah, well, that may be true, but hey I was just flaming for flames' sake. It's been awhile since I've been able to blow my load like that. But essentially, I still find it funny that he's making profit off of others' endevours. Our world is a funny place. We give loads of credit to those who deserve it the least. Why not give 100K to the people who make the games, movies, or music? Instead we laud the figureheads of such industries instead. *shakes head*

Do you have SCCT up and running yet DBS? I'll join you for co-op and we can get Bane and whoever else wishes to join give it a trial run. I'm curious to see what all the fuss is about. I'm assuming the online play must be good for it to have such a strong player-base.

[prettypaine]

250,000 per kid...no wonder I am so broke.....ok I have some kids in like new condition on ebay pronto !


Just wait dbs. Yours are still youngins yet :D What I wouldnt give for the days of buying a few packs of pokemon cards to make Mine happy. now its $80 dollar jeans and $100 dollar shirts. $100 dollar shoes .They hit teenage years and it all goes by by. :(

Yes, my pet peeve has always been the actor who makes $15 million a film, gets accolades on Oscar night, all for saying lines in front of a camera. Meanwhile, it's the people whose education, training, and talent that far exceeds that of any actor (let's see an actor do some sound editing or computer animation), and who make an ordinary salary, who are the real reason why Hollywood is so successful.

Jesus man i ask for a game of UT 2004 and i get your whole life story.Ya your master of everything in your own mind.I find it funny that someone who loves playing games such as yourself has a problem with someone whos good at it.All you can do is sit there and call the dude nerdy well who the hell are you seriously??Why dont you tell us your lordship what makes us have to bow down to you??Dont claim to be so great at something then sit there and turn down a challenge.Its funny all i ask is you kill me one time in a race to 50 but you wont take it.Seriously how are you going to talk this trash about me looking down your gun then turn arround and decline something that should be so simple.Kill me 1 time before i kill you 50.You know why??Because you know it takes more skill in UT 2004 then in any other FPS.Your afraid of looking stupid but im not.Hell if you went in there and kicked my arse id aknowledge you have skill.I lost all kinds of respect for you calling me out then running away.Well whatever man,i got nothing against you its just to bad your a putz.Dont talk all this smack then try to change the subject eventually getting to you wont play me.Ofcourse everything else you will get kills on me because everything else takes no skill.COD??seriously man give me a break.You got ut 2004 load it up and play me or just stop coming back at me with your life story i dont care to hear it.Im sure you would kick my arse at chess and ill admitt it sorry man i dont do chess i just kill people online.By the way read a few of your posts up its says any game.Tell you what you play me at UT 2004 and ill play you at the game of your choice hows that??race to 50 both games and the highest subtotal in 2 games wins.Pick COD i dont care plays alot like deltaforce extreme should be fun

[BaneNWN]

And you comparing him to an overpaid actor/actress is ridiculous ,borderline idiotic.If people were willing to pay you to endorse there products you tell me that you would turn it down and ill call you a liar.

[BaneNWN]

Funny you just brought up Painkiller as I just fired it back up now. I am stuck at the damn swamp boss....pissing me off. I do want to see the end of this one !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




DBS you shooting the bubbles like i told ya??Ya it takes a bit to kill him as popping the bubbles does very little damage but it does damage him.Eventually you will get him.I might fire that game up to the bosses on there were the coolest ive seen ever.Wait till you get to the military base thats one sweet level.To bad the multiplayer cant compare to ut 2004 although the single players kills ut in every way

[Suicides-by-Steve]

And you comparing him to an overpaid actor/actress is ridiculous ,borderline idiotic.If people were willing to pay you to endorse there products you tell me that you would turn it down and ill call you a liar.

STFU. You know NOTHING about me. Don't tell me what I would and wouldn't do. Yeah, I WOULD NOT ENDORSE CERTAIN PRODUCTS. Just like I won't buy, eat, or shop at certain large corporate stores, or buy food products from large corporate businesses (*ahem* Kraft). I'll leave the mass marketing and brainwashing propaganda that so obviously affects you, to YOU. Who's the idiot?

I see what's going on, not you apparently. You'd sell yourself out for a few bucks by the sounds of your last post. You're a programmed slave, one step away from being a corporate whore. Better get out the KY- there a whole bunch of corporate suits just lining up to bum**** you...

I can't believe you said that actually, that you'd basically endorse anything for cash!! LOL Man, the emphasis that people place on money. Here's hoping for a huge calamity, so that we'll see where all that cash gets you... Heh.

Ask anyone who knows me here if what I'm saying is true. Most likely Renz and DBS can more than testify to my claims. Again STFU unless you know what you're talking about, kid.

Almost anything kills UT2004. The game's simply sucky. There's a reason why EB only buys it for a buck...

[Suicides-by-Steve]

"Ya your master of everything in your own mind"

Damn straight. That's what makes it true. Belief brings about form don't you know? Now who's sounding like they're jealous? I have self-confidence, and all of a sudden I'm Your Lordship... Hmmm, that DOES have a nice ring to it, and as well could be true, I definitely have the skills to lead, however, I prefer Warlord. As my first elected duty to my people, I say to you [pompous voice] "Begone beggar, you have been dismissed!"[/pompous voice] LMAO

YUP a liar like i suspected.Only problem is you have never been offered an endorsement and you know as well as i do you would take the money.Guess being 34 years old makes me a kid so be it.By the way if STFU and kid is all you can come up with then i feel sad for you.Ill do the rest o my talking on UT 2004 till then be gone you little turd.You are a nobody and you always will be and by the way get a job before you act like something your not.MR. MOM.

[Aku]

This board is finally getting good again after all these years.

[Suicides-by-Steve]

Stand people up when you say you will show then act like your S$IT doesnt stink.

LOL Sooo.... That's the reason why you're so pissy-pants? Sorry dude, I have a life besides playing games all the time. As long as peeps keep responding to what I have to say, sorry, but this guy won't be going anywhere I'm afraid. Man this thread is getting more bizarre by the post... Hehe. Unlike what you say, I still have a few stalwart friends here. I'm calling you a kid, because you're acting like one. You've proved it yet again. Because I stood you up? LOL That's really sad man. And kind of scary at the same time.

[Suicides-by-Steve]

This board is finally getting good again after all these years.

Yeah, jump on board. Let me point out that by your agreeance with me on my views on giving credit where credit is due to developers instead of the figurehead, by complicity, Bane has already called you an idiot as well... ;) Sic him man, sic him! Your Lordship demands it! :)

Seriously though, you're right. I miss the old days too. It's too bad there's not many more like Bane out there. I came up with some funny **** back on the old boards. Now that Lara is gone, hopefully we can remove the gloves again.

[Suicides-by-Steve]

You are a nobody and you always will be and by the way get a job before you act like something your not.MR. MOM.

You're calling me out by saying I don't have a job by raising my kids?! HAHAHA That's a really good one. Sorry bud, but I do (unfortunately) have a job as well; like you said I'm a regular Jack-of-all-trades. AND I CAN do many things well, and those things don't require me to play games all day and night. By inferring that I don't do anything but stay at home looking after my kids and that it's SOOOO easy, you're only shooting yourself in the foot. By default you're belittling your girlfriends' most important task in her life- making sure that her children are properly raised. Tsk tsk. Shame on you. You should be more sensitive to your better-half's single most important responsibility, her being a parent.

PS- I'm tall, dark, and handsome to boot, 2 packs away from having a six-pack and weigh in at a healthy 230 pounds (all muscle). Sorry to disappoint you yet again. I truly AM the full package AND the real deal.

[Aku]

Heh-heh, you can't drag me to your side that easy on this one. I agree that the movie and music industires give all the credit and reward to the frontmen/frontwomen and not the people who are the real talent, but that's a whole world different than some guy making (relatively not very much) money playing games. I compare a top video game player more closely with athletes than actors - like athletes, their reward is based directly on their skill and performance. I've never had a problem with Shaq or Barry Bonds making millions, because they really are the best at what they do.

And besides, Bane is my bud. :p

He knows how Important that is to Me, He's even said if I wanted to quit and He would take care of Us. Thats the kind of Man He is. He's not the kind to sit and let the Woman do all the work! while the man sits home all day. As for someone as shallow as You why don't You start taking some of Your own advise Mr sensitive.and stop being so ignorant.You claim to be so intelligent?? but You sit here and make assumptions about Peoples lives You know nothing of. You started this by insulting someone by the way They looked and refered to Them as a nerd lol You would think someone as Yourself (as you claim) so sucsessful in His life would just be happy for someone elses hard work and accomplishments in life instead of trying to insult Them on Their appearance. You're over the age of 30 what do You wanna be when You grow up?? fatal1ty is 24 and I have to say I give Him alot of credit. He's doing what He loves to do and making a career out of it. I believe the most important thing in life besides raising Your Kids and seeing Them happy is finding a career that Your'e happy with, and if someone has found that then congrats to Them. especially at an early age. PS. I really don't see what purpose or what You expected to accoumplish by posting Your so called weight on here. especially when You posted Your pic before. so We all know Your lying :D but thats not a big deal chubby. I'm sure You can take some of that hard earned cash You have invested and try a new investment. let Me be the first to give You a number to call...1800-97jenny does that make Me now as intelligent as You are? lmao I sure hope not. :D HAVE AN AWESOME DAY

SBS,
I have yet to pick it up :( I have PT though , DS2 and now Shadow Magic. I will keep an eye out for CT as I like the idea of tossing people to their deaths....lol

This kid and Thresh do what they love to do and earn a living at it. I can not say I would be bothered if I could make enough money gaming to support my family but I don't have the skillz. I enjoy gaming but I also am just too damn old and anymore my reaction time is not what it was 20 years ago. Cold hard true...

As for you two having a challenge....I have gamed with both of you and know you both as most of us here are good gamers. No reason to make it personal and in the end who cares.

I been trying to get you to join us sometime SBS even if only one night a week. You fried on gaming??

Bane and you need that new game Gunz or whatever...sounds like a chance for a good western gunfight !

[Aku]

All I have to say is, if Lara were dead she'd be spinning in her grave. As it is, I think she's spinning on her swivel chair. :eek:

[DBS]

Ah...won it on ebay so I should have it in a few days...

[BaneNWN]

Id say im about done posting you obviusly do not understand where im coming from.You called me out i took your challenge and now its turned into something totally stupid.The whole point of me spanking you at UT 2004 was to make you understand it takes alot of skill just to be an average player at it like me.I dont see a big difference between playing chess and playing UT 2004.If you dont think you have to think playing UT 2004 then you would never be good at it anyways.You would be suprized how much thinking is involved and to make it even harder you have to have reflexes and almost perfect aim to go with it.Also i havent a clue why you tried turning Aku against me but he knows me better then that.AKU is fn to play games with and cracks me up alot well hes at it.I would never say anything to piss hiim off because he doesnt talk smack and then back off and bring other crap up that isnt even relevant to playing a game.Heck AKU played me at some UT 2004 and even got a few kills on me now i respect that.Yea he was sorta of cussing alot but he still played lol.

By the way it didnt bother me that you were a absent from CT.It would have been cool if you posted because that night DBS,AKU and Paine wanted to play RS but i declined because i was suppose to meet you in some CT.See unlike you i dont stand people up i had a sure game of RS which i love playing but i ddnt want to be rude and play a game with them leaving you wondering what was going on.Was it rude??Hell ya.am i over it??Long time ago.I dont have all this time to play games that you think i do so ya my gaming time is precious and i hate being stoodup.I have no problem with someone letting me know they wont play instead of ignoring me altogether.Weve had a pretty good group togther for the past 2 months or so and ive enjoyed every last minute of it.Anyways SBS neither one of us are going to get anywhere by slinging insults at eachother.Ill let you be the forum master flamer but if we should ever meet up in UT your ass is mine.

[Suicides-by-Steve]

LOL Man, I wasn't trying to turn anyone against you at all heh. Aku would have to be pretty stupid to stop liking you from what I said. Hehe. I'm just having a bit of fun. Turning your words against you and what not. And I did post, though it was like 10 hours too late. I figured if you're on your comp, it's no problems checking in on the boards every so often to see if I'm on or not. It's not like I had your IP addy anyway. So I wouldn't have been able to connect without a response from you first.

My gaming time these days is highly sporadic. I went from playing with DBS, Renz, and others on a constant daily basis to absolute zero gaming with them in a days' time. It's not anything personal, I just have a life I need to maintain, that includes real-life friends and family as well. Guess we call things different. I don't call it rude standing a gaming partner up, especially since you're on your comp anyway. Now saying I'd meet you on so and so street corner, and THEN not showing up, that's rude. As for the insult slinging? Hell why not?! It's a ****ing riot. F4G.:p

[Suicides-by-Steve]

All I have to say is, if Lara were dead she'd be spinning in her grave. As it is, I think she's spinning on her swivel chair. :eek:

Lara's not here anymore. Though she may be surfing on seeing what's up. Heh. Maybe if we're lucky these last days' flames will respark the boards. It's been gay around here using this as a meeting place to game only. I need a new site to haunt. Actually, who am I kidding, I barely have enough time to post here, let alone a popular message board.

[Suicides-by-Steve]

Your so called weight on here. especially when You posted Your pic before. so We all know Your lying :D but thats not a big deal chubby. I'm sure You can take some of that hard earned cash You have invested and try a new investment. let Me be the first to give You a number to call...1800-97jenny does that make Me now as intelligent as You are? lmao I sure hope not. :D HAVE AN AWESOME DAY

To be as intelligent as me, you need to stop capitalizing random words within your sentences. Awful sentence structure, dear. Them, You, and Me aren't nouns, they're pronouns.

I'll make sure I get a recent photo for you then, the last post you saw of me was from 3 years ago. Long time for a change, sister. Hitting the gym 4 times a week does wonders for the body. And that photo you saw of me then, was far from the 300 pounds I was! :p Hee hee. Nice try. Again, as soon as I get my hands on a digital camera, I'll update my picture. Try to refrain from doing the stinky finger shuffle after I post, ya?! In fact unlike the rest of my claims, this one I can prove, and will, because everything I have stated was not BS, and this will be a little step towards proving it. Unlike your casually tossed around insults. You want to play that way? I can do it too.

You working 40 hours a week? That's tough. I don't work forty hours a week because I don't have to. To boot, I highly doubt that that you work the 40 hours a week, on top of looking after your kids for another 8-10 hours a day. I do that all the time, wake up with the kids, make some breakfast, get the wife to work, look after the kids the whole day, and then... THEN I go to work.

Let me guess, the grandparents' looked after them while your Ex ****ed around on you while you worked hard to raise them when they were young, and now I'm sure the state is looking after your kids (eg school) while you work your 40 hours, you come home make dinner for them, then they're out of your hair watching TV, talking on the phone, or going out for the night, while you sit around on the computer. Hard life, I feel for you. I'd rather be working too, than having to raise my kids. It's simply easier. Working is so easy compared to raising kids.

But again, you're sounding like you have no experience doing what I do, so I'll forgive you and your trespasses. Actually, who am I kidding? I chose to look after my kids, and I'm glad I did. I definitely don't want them raised by anyone except the wife and I; they'll be disciplined and have manners. Unlike half the little pukes running around these days suckled and raised on the drug named TV.

Now, on to who's insulting who? I'm being facetious, and I get an eyeful from you and Bane? So what, the guy looks like a nerd, the guy could be great looking, I'd still call him a nerd. I'm calling him a nerd because he's a "pro" gamer. LOL Need I remind you that Aku called his looks into question by wondering if he could get laid, not ****ing me. Then it goes from that to questioning my character and values? You guys need to lighten up. I had an opinion, and you two decide to gangbang me. Well, I like to **** back, so hang on. Cuz I **** like an animal. Grow the **** up and learn to respect others' opinions. I do, I just like to debate them more than the next guy, because unlike you, I don't accept just anything that is shovelled down my throat, and accept it as gospel.

No, I'm just tired of gaming with the same old games. I need a change from just shooting people every now and again. Splinter Cell I'm game for, turn-based strategies, and maybe some Call of Duty. Everything else I'm pretty much sick of. Oh I'd be willing to try Brothers in Arms online too; and of course Dungeon Siege (I only have the first one plus the expansion), but for standard conventional shoot 'em ups, I'm pretty much done with them for now. As you can see, I still want to game, just not 4 or 5 hours of shooting. Blah.

[Aku]

Heck AKU played me at some UT 2004 and even got a few kills on me now i respect that.Yea he was sorta of cussing alot but he still played lol.


Yeah, but I was invisible on one and on another I think I was helped by a bot. I only had one legit kill. But I had a headache that night. Who am I kidding, I suck at UT deathmatch. But I'll give you a good run on the racetrack any day!
