Here's to beginnings and ends.

So it's been over a year since I've posted any blog at all. I haven't had the motivation to post I guess. Or I've been too busy. Insert 5 more random excuses for my non posting. I guess on that note I should give an update on what's been going on with me for the past.... year? or so.

  • Graduated Fire Academy. Got my EMT.
  • Finally got a new pc (YES!!!!)
  • My team made cevo playoffs but then fizzled out.
  • Started a new "be annoying on the forums" project, bamf.sports. Taking TWL by storm.(follow us on twitter!)
  • The fantasy football gods have decided to hate me.
Ok so I didn't really need bullets for that but who gives a shit they look cool.

CEVO-Professional playoffs are over and done. CEVO-Amateur Playoffs are in lower bracket finals, which are being delayed a week due to nerv lan. With Black ops coming out early in November, I really don't foresee us having another cod4 event unless black ops is just plain awful. So that leaves a void of around half a month to maybe a month with no events to play. (CG is finishing up their playoffs, this CSN thing is done, no other competitive leagues out there.) That's why we're(my team, not cevo) spending our time in TWL hardcore league and promod league.

On that note, the hardcore league is amazingly fun. I forgot how much fun this game was before we stripped it of everything and I started hating it. There's stuns, rpd's, m21's, dragonovs, cook nades, everything that a competitive player would scream and bitch about if I still left it in a league. But its the most fun I've had in CoD4 in 2 years or so. Plus the deagle is basically a one shot kill. How can you go wrong there? You can't. First time I've ever played Chinatown in a match either. Gotta admit I kind of regret stripping everything out of the game. While we wait for blackops since the cevo season is all but over I'm thinking about putting on a retro cod4 tourny, rpd's, stuns, perks the works (poet and didn't know it) on. Any comments?

And that brings me to my next point. Black ops is coming out soon. Lets hope treyarch learned from the mistakes of infinity ward (I mean they kinda did, they put dedicated servers and record function back in.) I said it in my last post about mw2, and I'll say it again. People need to slow their roll and chill the fk out if they want to start making demands on what we should and should not strip. I guarantee between alienware, cevo and all these other tournies out there that we will have enough competition in the first month of the game to decide what is good for it and what is bad for it. So save your bitching until after that. (CEVO will still be backing Ingram's Promod btw.)

Thats all of the updates about the beginnings and ends, the alphas and the omegas if you will. Here's a few more things I feel like ranting on for people to chew on:

  • My friend Melissa is debating on coming back to CoD4. You know her as e-rev Sparkz. I told her I'd mention her in my blog and I gotta say. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO mel, don't do it! Wait for a better game! :P
  • The Texas Rangers have made the playoffs for the first time since I was a junior in high school. Nolan Ryan said the rangers would win 92 games this year. They won 90. Nostradamus anyone? I don't even care if we win the ALDS, although it would be nice. I'm just happy they are in the playoffs. Baby steps.
  • I never finished Dragon age. Couldn't bring myself to commit to it with other games coming out. Should I?
  • Civ 5 was a giant disappointment for me. Just saying.
  • NHL 11 is possibly the second greatest hockey game ever. The first? Blades of Steel.
  • Follow bamf.sports for greatness. I mean who else gets a twl hardcore match shoutcasted and goes Double OT? Thrills that kills.
  • If Ray Rice doesn't start producing My hair is going to fall out. Oh wait my hair already is doing that, thanks for reminding me roommate.
Thats all for now. Gotta be careful what I rant about , because heaven forbid someone will confuse my post as me being out to get them. (Not naming any names) I may decide to rant on something later. I may not. Deuces for now!
