HogWild_101st

I might me the only one to say this... I was given BF3 for free, and I still couldn't stand it, and mailed it of to another clan member for free... even paying the postage because I was that happy to get rid of it. It reminded me of the period the clan wanted to try Modern Warfare, so I bought the game, played it maybe 3 times. Respawns are for people who dislike thinking. Doesn't matter what you do, you have another life hanging in your locker, and when you throw that life away.... SUPRISE..... there is yet another life waiting for you. Repeat as many times as necessary.... no thinking required.

I was playing SOCOM almost every single night, and I was having a great time. The clan didn't get on until 8 pm so I was chomping the bit until them. But I have a job so Sunday through Thursday I had to jump off at at 11 pm. But Friday and Saturday I was on until 2 am or later. I spent hours formulating plans on our next UF match. Who to attack next. How and when we should do it. Playing chess in a sense to minimize our weaknesses and maximize our strengths. Cajoling my clanmates to believe in a system and game plan, to play their roles so we could be most comptetative. Having an active forums where all sorts of things could be discussed. Having an active recruiting section of our forums because we had a reputation of competativeness. Having a community that kept us busy nearly every single month of the year. But I don't do that stuff anymore.... because SOCOM no longer exists. Thanks Zipper Inetractive. You gave it life, and you aborted it. Take a bow douchebags.

That was funny.

This is for real. Follow the link to be amazed. http://hotair.com/archives/2012/01/28/video-the-greatest-guitarist-ever/

Speaks volumnes to a representative government that is responsible to the people who elect them to office.... don't you think? If you are looking for someone to thank, let me help you out. Our Founding Fathers who had the wisdom to set up a Constitution that put the PEOPLE in charge with FREQUENT and REOCCURING elections. If someone is not doing the job that they were elected to do.... unlike a dictator, they could be EASILY replaced. If you think your voice and vote doesn't matter, think again.

Nope, I know. Censorship is not bad... until it happens to "me". Welcome to the club Tow. Glad to have you finally on board. Took you long enough to see the light... but you have arrived.

How ironic.

I didn't expect any replies to this one. Fellow old schoolers are in the house. How about one from the most underated band in the last 30 years? Music video's from the 1970's are pretty cheesy, but the music... ahhhhhh.

1. Wrestling is indeed fake. "The Body" can't take one hit. 2. Chris Kyle for President. 3. You can't complain after jerking on a chain and then find out what's on the other end. You should have never of been jerking on the chain in the first place. 4. Jesse Venture knocked on his @ss.... LOL. No really, I mean, LMAO. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5WlwCltYONc Bad news Jesse, not only do you have time to bleed, you have time to lay around on a bar floor while doing it.

Meatloaf and the baddest piano boogie you will hear this side of Ray Charles. And lyrics you can understand too. Those were the days...

120 views and no replies.... a personal record. Not even my own clan agree's with me that much. I hope the silent agreement is about what's best about being an American. I just have to travel from the Black Sea to the China Sea to finish my trek around the world. I know, the "Don't Tread On Me" spirit only exists here at home, because I haven't seen it anywhere else in this world. I feel lucky, and obligated to be an American. I feel lucky, because there is no better place to live on this planet. I feel obligated because I'm expected to be self reliant, because freedom requires effort, no one is going to give it to you. You have to "take and defend" it. Because there are people on this planet who want to take freedom from you, and make you a slave. God Bless America and all those who reminds us what makes America great.

A point well made that those Volunteers in Texas and those Spartans in Greece were soldiers who's duty it was to put themselves in harms way in defense of their fellow citizens. A point not made but just as important, those people on United Flight 93 did not know that they were placing themselves in harms way and would be fighting a enemy that they probably didn't know existed before that day. There is so much heroism surrounding the actions of those on 9/11 that I could spend all day writing about it, but then who would spend all day reading it? So in the interest of keeping this relatively short I'm just going to talk about just one of those acts of heroism. The time we started fighting back. I think of things that are often said by those who witness the heroism of others. Admiral Nimitz during the attack on Iwo Jima of the Marines who fought a tough, determined, and well dug in Japanese enemy: "Of the Marines who fought and died, uncommon valor was a common virtue". Indeed uncommon valor was alive and well on United Flight 93. Learning that the United States was under a coordinated attack, using passenger jets a missiles, and they were now intractably involved. They had only two choices. To sit quietly and wait to for a rescue attempt or to die. Or they could choose to do something to take control of their own fate. No one on the plane was looking to crash and die. They were fighting back to live and defeat a cowardly enemy who attacked us through deciet and secrecy. Their intent was to take control of the plane and have an American pilot on board take control and safely land after wrestling control from the terrorists. Once realizing they were about to be defeated, the terrorist pilot purposely crashed the plane in Shanksville Pennsylvania. With little time and little information to process what was going on around them, they organized quickly, and they chose to fight. On that day they would not be bullied, intimidated, or killed without resistance. On that plane, those brave souls started our national response to the terrorists who would kill us for no other reason than their own self gratification. Those citizens turned warriors showed the entire world what's best about the United States, her citizens, and why we are the last best hope for all people yearning to live free. The hero's of United Flight 93 also showed their fellow citizens that beneath it all, when push comes to shove, that we are all Americans. We share a common bond. That freedom is not free, but comes with the highest possible cost. And those hero's surviving family members tell us, that it was a price worth paying. Those surviving family members feel a completely justified sense of pride, and only ask that we remember. Today I am writing about what struck me most that day. But that in no way means it was the most important event of that day. The first responders in New York City and those at the Pentagon, their heroism is in no way less than that of United Flight 93 passengers. They too need to be remembered and I want to acknowledge all the lives the NYC first responders and military personnel at the Pentagon saved that day. It was just fate the passengers of United Flight 93 were in a position to tell our enemy "the hell you will" and be the first to spit back into the eye of our collective enemies. Those hero's represented their country and fellow citizens with uncommon valor.

Neither was Monday night, but there was no whining then. Since JyK decided to hit on 101st, I'll hit back. Some bullshit happened then too, but no one is reading about it. Lose with dignity ring any bells?

Class act LPK. Good run.

3 times a week and twice on Sunday.

Gotta love those sandstorms....

65 years ago, Americans, Canadians, and Brits invaded France on 5 beaches to liberate Europe from Nazi Germany's grip. 39,000 allied forces were lost. Take a moment to remember those brave souls. They certainly have earned it.

A freak, doing freaky shit. End of story. I wouldn't wish death on the guy, but he was a movie star and ended it all with a rope tied around his own neck in a hotel room. Dude, hookers are cheap in that part of the world.....

Watch it.... Do as you are told, or you won't be rewarded. Wonder how cocky the airline industry would be if they were supported by taxpayer money? But here's a funny airline story. I was flying from California to North Carolina. The plane was packed, and I thought it was great that the only empty seat on the plan was next to me. Until 450 pounds of walking flab came up the aisle. Yep, sat down between me and the guy on the window. Immediately, I'm pressed against the arm rest on the aisle side as flesh over runs my perimeter. I'm about to get off the plane and say "fuck that". They close the door and we start to taxi. We take off, and by the time the seat belt sign goes off, I'm in real pain from being pressed against the out arm rest. The stewardess comes by and say's I can't lean out in the aisle like I'm doing. I say "lady, does it look like I have a choice?". So I saw screw it, I get up, I'm flying to North Carolina standing up. I go to the rear of the plane, at first the stewardesses are aggravated that I am there. After their first run, a stewardess comes back and reports Mr. Two Tons of Fun have taken over both seats. After the meal run, the stewardess reports that Mr Moby Dick had asked to have the meal for the seat I was sitting in. Now I'm in good with the stewardesses, we are all laughing about it and making jokes. A stewardess offers me a beer, I say "it's 10:00 am", she say's "it's 1:00 pm in North Carolina", and I say "good point, give me a Bud". So I spend the rest of the flight standing up in the stewardess station drinking free beer and poking fun as the guy who is now sitting in his seat and my seat at the same time and is pissing off the stewardesses each trip. I go back to my seat as we approach, the stewardesses let me stay standing until the last possible moment, and I had to go back to my seat and bulldoze the flesh mountain back into one seat. After we landed, I complained. I was told by the airline people that they couldn't violate his civil rights. I asked about my civil rights and the right to use the seat I paid for. It appears I don't have any civil rights. At least I got a funny story out of it.....

That's the ENTIRE PROBLEM with respawns. No punishment for being stupid or foolish. There is no risk/reward factor going on in respawns, because there is no risk for doing the wrong thing, you respawn and get to try again in a few seconds. But you have to be a critical thinker to think like that. Or at least be a chess player, once a piece is off the board, you don't get it back unless you reach the other side with the weakest piece on the board.

LOL I gotta work hard to make a point. There are a lot of clueless people in this forum who get their news from Jon Stewart on Comedy Central or Saturday Night Live. Plus, intelligent conversations come up so infrequently around here, I gotta pounce when I see one that won't get me in trouble with Undertow....

Why the hate BigMoney? Didn't get your quota of tree hugging in today.... ;D Prices on car batteries will come down? When has anything pertaining to a car had a price reduction (other than gas)? From my experience, cars and car parts only get more expensive. But, if a person wants to drive a hybrid, that's OK with me. What's not OK with me, is a government and a political action movement that bases all of their data on incorrect information (Global Warming activists) trying to force me to become a vegetarian and force me to drive an electric car. Now it's hybrids, when they get that it will be total electrical cars that travel 40 miles per charge. And how do your charge a battery? With electricity of course, and what's that going to do to your electric bill? That 2 grand you think you will save, won't happen. The government will just make sure you spend that 2 grand somewhere else. Like charging your golf cart so you can get to work and back. If we drilled for our own oil and ran our own refineries, not only would we have a say in the price of oil around the world, we could create a million jobs immediately and that money would stay IN the U.S. economy. If Democrats wanted to have universal healthcare, they could have it and pay for it with the taxes they would get from oil companies and their employees, if they would just make it desireable for U.S. companies to drill here and drill now. But they won't, because we are warming the earth, even though the temperature has been dropping for a decade.

that was funny

$8,000 at least. That's why Green Technology sucks. You could replace the Engine and Transmission in a regular car for that price. But no one tell's you that. PLUS, with the Hybrids, you have to take them to the dealer for repairs, and pay the highest labor rates and the HIGHEST PARTS MARK UP in the area. Car Dealerships mark up the price of the parts they buy to fix your car about 400%. They pay $100 for the part, then charge you $400 for the part. Learn something new every day? Earth's temperatures have been dropping for the lat 10 years. The science data is in. We are on a rock, spinning at thousands of miles per hour, and circling a burning star at hundred's of thousands of mile per hour. Who really expects the temperature to stay the same all the time? It's a scam. Recently reported, it's now COW FARTS causing global warming because we eat too much meat and there are too many cows to fart. We all need to be vegetarians, kill all cows and pigs to be safe, to save our planet. But the government needs more of your money to stop the Earth from warming prematurely. This has to be a joke. We can't climb Mt. Everest without people dying every year. We can't stay at the North or South Pole year round. We can't land on Mars (closest planet). BUT WE CAN cause the Earth to warm faster than nature intended. If you believe that, then it's true. There's a sucker born every minute.

There's nothing wrong with unions. Unions have improved working conditions for people, made the workplace safer, and has gotten workers better wages. But some unions go too far, and the UAW is one of those unions. For instance, General Motors and Toyota sold very close to the same number of cars and trucks in 2008. Toyota had a 4 billion dollar profit. General Motors had a 4 billion dollar loss. How does that happen? - $2,000 of every GM purchase goes to UAW retirement fund. - UAW workers are not laid off, if there is no work for them, they still get paid but they stay home. - The UAW pulls in enough money to own and run a golf course for their big wigs, the golf course doesn't make a profit either, but they still keep it open. The UAW, government CAFE standards, and lack of tariffs on foriegn built cars have all combined to cripple the United States auto industry. American's are working in Nissan and Toyota plants around the country, those plants aren't unionized, the companies are making a profit and the people who work for the company are making a living wage. Meanwhile, Detroit Michigan rots like a piece of fruit left out in the sun. The government is taking over GM and Chrysler. Going to close 1,900 dealerships across the country. And what happened to the UAW? They made no concessions at all. It's business as usual in the U.S. auto industry. How can anyone possibly believe it's going to work this time?
