Phil (BOM VDubmeister) has received his astro’s and i just ordered mine today.  They will be shipping out on monday once the new shipment of mixamps are in.  Im just pumped for the ability to hear whats going on around me and play some call of duty again.  So now we are rocking astro’s, turtle beaces and tritons among us with all different models in those brands.  Its crazy to look at where gaming has come even from the original xbox.

Joe just called again…

… I can’t help but getting a little choked up hearing dude so far away. You can almost hear your voice bounce off the satellite.

Anyways, he’s doing good… but bored out of his mind. He sounded really depressed, but by the end of the conversation I had him laughing. He asked how everyone is doing and I told him about Shon. He couldn’t believe it. I told him we were all the same way.

I also told him that I had started making a care package for him and it was sitting there half full but I had run out of money/work and couldn’t get the things I really wanted to send him, and he said it’s okay… it probably wouldn’t make it to him by the time he got to come home. (Which is just a little over 2 months now)

I told him we missed him and hope he comes back soon.

The Art of War

This is the book that I have quoted in our Laws. Since the book is pretty much free-license, I’ve added it to our website. I recommend reading it, if not just picking through it… it -will- expand your inner warrior. Initially the book is in plain text, but I will eventually put chapter links and dress it up to make it easier on the eyes.

Enjoy!

FYI–>>> The BOM Sweeper’s Awesome Mother did NOT sell his Xbox<<<

I was only joking guys, now I realize how hard it is to pick up on someones sarcasm over online text. I will be back in action in a day or two here. If you don’t hate me now, you can add me back to the website and send me another gamebattles invite. I didn’t know you guys would take it so seriously. Thats an uber mistake on my part.

MW:2 Stimulus Package 3-30

Last Updated on Friday, 12 March 2010 01:33 Written by Chris Friday, 12 March 2010 01:33

Activision announced today during the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco that “the Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare® 2 Stimulus Package will strike worldwide on March 30.”

The name Stimulus Package is a potentially confusing tie-in to President Obama’s economic plan. Sorry, you can’t get paid to play Modern Warfare yet.

But the downloadable content package for Xbox consoles includes the first new multiplayer maps — that means there’s all-new terrain on which you can fight with or against other human players — for what has been called the biggest entertainment launch in history, Infinity Ward’s Modern Warfare 2.

Modern Warfare 2 has been a huge hit for gamers, but a black eye for the gaming industry. A lawsuit filed by Infinity Ward’s founders against parent company Activision Blizzard exposed a personal and professional rift within Activision’s hotshot unit.

Leaked photos and video of the Stimulus Package were posted to the Net in recent weeks, but Activision has done a good job of taking them down.

Cleaning Out The Roster

Last Updated on Saturday, 13 March 2010 06:14 Written by Chris Thursday, 11 March 2010 12:03

We got a lot of new members with the coming of MW2… and a few old members just disappeared. Doc is in Iraq… more than halfway done with his stint. Hunter logged on once in the past month or so just to log right back off. Yarlb/Sefir never play with us, most of the time they are co-op’ing on one Xbox.

Shon4Star is AWOL. The whole ordeal has been the strangest event that I’ve ever dealt with online. Shon disappeared for a week or so (which is most strange because he was one that was online every day…) then a couple of weeks later, his gamer tag comes online. Turns out it’s not Shon, it’s some guy that’s “bought Shon’s account, and Shon is going back into the Army.” We all know this isn’t true because Shon told us he was injured and taken out… that’s besides the point. Turns out he sold all of his XBOX stuff, headset, games, the console, modded controllers… everything, as separate packs on eBay. Didn’t even give his loyal friends a shot at any of it, OR EVEN SAY BYE. He now owns a PS3, apparently, gone to the dark side. Sucks to lose a good friend to random bullshit. We’ve even called/written him in futility. Makes no sense. Can you tell I’m agitated about it? Well now that that’s been aired out….

FixedJoker, aka “Hardquarters” Chris has been missing for a while too. His gamer tag gets on from time to time but it’s never him. The last time I invited it a couple of weeks ago, I was told by the user “I haven’t seen Chris in 2 weeks” and he didn’t want to answer any questions. Kinda worries me, he’s a bit of a wild one… hope he’s alright.

FrankieDigital busted ass to get into the clan. He no longer plays hardcore playlists and acts like we don’t exist.

Thunder/Lightning came into the group shortly before Shon left, and haven’t been around much since. In the same boat is StaticCloudX, who hasn’t really been online either.

I’ll be cleaning out the roster over the next week or so. If you were mentioned on this list [negatively] and you feel it was uncalled for or unjust, let me know. Otherwise you’ll probably be dropped soon due to inactivity.

P.S. – If you plan on just up and selling all of your shit, make sure you drop your fam’ a fucking line saying so.

Game Battles

Last Updated on Monday, 8 March 2010 01:40 Written by BOM Sweeper Monday, 8 March 2010 01:40

I’ve been starting to get the itch for some more gamebattles, I don’t know how much of a say I have in this, but I would like to do some GBs this upcoming weekend. I don’t know what people schedules are like, but if it can’t happen thats fine. I know that Andy and I have a four day weekend (Thurs. and Fri. off), but I have a vball tournament on Sunday. If we could get something out over Xbox live or the website with possible times that would be uber cool.
