I've tried Quake years ago, I couldn't get into it.

Recently I could not get into it. I was too busy to play and then was too busy building the pc, so when I hopped on the new rig it felt great. But when started playing people I was horrible, I could not believe how fast the action was, high-speed jousting, all the noise in my headphones, I just exited for a while.

Chicago cop friend I used to work with as Flight instructors never got the hang of circle-strafe and insisted I get SOF, omg do I hate that slow boring game, never played it again.

Q3 is back to fun, the 1v1 duels with my buddy are really fun.

Man you guys are geeks, date much!?

;)

Give me a guitar and a nice ANALOG tube amp any day.

Doom was my favorite game on SNES, I downloaded the 95 version, I also have Quake 2 which I love. That is it, my home PC is a 233MHZ Pentium II, pretty sad huh?
Some day I'll get a game/multi-media box but for that kinda coin I'll always opt for a slammin new guitar or amp.

Just this 43-year old hag http://s89484635.onlinehome.us/inez_shot.jpg

Thats a pic of her changing my kids diaper.

I wanted a drum kit around 3 years of age, mom came home with a tamborine :o

I thought about buying a guitar and amp, prolly more tolerable than a drum set. Maybe I should start with a used acoustic guitar first. I have big hands but I might be el stinko at it anyway.

Tell me about the satisfaction you get from playing it when you get home from work.

I haven't played a shooter in a long time, but just started on Half-Life 2. Holy crap, how things have changed since Tomb Raider (1).

"We don't go to Ravenholm" -- yeah, you got that right. I nearly crapped myself playing that.

Man you guys are geeks, date much!?

Yeah, I'd say he does! Hag, riiiight! wink wink nudge nudge.


but just started on Half-Life 2
I didn't know half life 2 was out? I'm kind of wanting it I suppose.

I took her to hawaii a couple times 2 and 3 week stints but when I took her the last time to marry her I was closing the deal so I explained that we really needed to watch the budget and got out of there in less than a week - lol. Good gal she had my baby girl at 40.

Has to be, how many 40 year olds are willing to have a baby? I have yet to meet my first.

I turned 40 this year, and afraid I'm going to have to step it down a notch or two just to feel comfortable at the prospect then, hope she is one whos "elevator" doesn't, quite reach the top because I don't look like I used to and I don't have alot of money.

Now Mr. Hanky, thats sad.:cool:

Ah, just returned from a Polar expedition, eh? Never mind -- you can just pay and download it from their site -- if it hadn't been for that convenience I think I'd never have bothered, but I'm glad I did. My wife isn't though. She's heard enough about zombies, headcrabs, and toxic leapers to last a lifetime.

I turned 40 last year and proclaimed a cleaner 2nd half but she likes her wine and I like my beer. The scariest thought in the world is to not be around for my baby girl at least until she hits 18. This darn career/field does not help much - I am going to post a mid-life crisis thread over the weekend. Her brother is a stinking millionaire and of course he is not in I.T.

She actually tried to give me a boy. I told her when the baby fat came off she would want another baby, she sold all our stuff, then when lil C hit 3 she offered a baby boy to me. We went to fertility clinics for 6 mos, we got preggo and lost it. Her eggs and my 100k count were collapsing, the fertility graph is like that after 40 SO GET BUSY :)

Best thing ever to happen to me is my lil soccer buddy we just practiced in the oakwood floor dining room. Dont grow old with out little ones.

As for the choice I always liked this advice - Find a gal thats 'just' hot enough to turn you on. Then she is eating out of your hand all the time. Too many of us go for the 'I want something out of my league' and thats high maintenance.

Good luck Alchemy - I mean that.


I am editing this because I think the most important thing for you was left out. My wife values LOVE over money or looks. Lets be clear though she slaughters my budget, I mean you meet women who make 23k and you hand them 100k and they will find a way to scale up to 110k in spending. I just put 10% into 401k and hope for the best. When she met me I was a buffer guy ( 3 surgeries take it out of you )
but the main thing for her was someone who believes in loving their wife.

She is a mind blowing cook and the house is immaculate but she earns exactly 0.00 however my kid is smart because she is with her constantly.

I'm trying to say there are women who dont care about money and youthfullness, they want a protector, provider and someone who appreciates them.

So get going!

:D lol

Funny you mention going after the high maintenance women, that sure was me. Now, I'm leaning towards the OTHER end of the spectrum, like that old song from the 60's, "If you want to be happy for the rest of your life, go and get an ugly wife"...ROFL:D
