Happy Thanksgiving!

Sorry for haven't posting in awhile folks. Just been busy past week for my wife's arrival. After around 30+ hours of travel she was just exhausted yesterday. The most interesting part was after about a week worth of cleaning up my apartment, getting stuff ready, cooking some food, getting some furnitures the one thing that she liked most was the fact that I brought her flowers when I picked her at the airport ... really?! I guess that's a woman for you.

I just got Lego Star Wars in the mail the other day so we just need another controller and we can start lightsabing it up! was that even a word? it is now!

Veteran's Day Weekend

I bought Call of Duty 4 last friday and haven't stop playing since. Reminds me really of CS, fun game indeed.We helped out one of our co-workers move on base for like a half day that Saturday and proceeded to play COD4 with my buddies. Sunday I had to fix the house a little bit, cook some chicken adobo, and watch some good ol anime. And on Veterans day I watched couple episodes at History channel about our Wake Island how they fought off the Japanese back in WWII and I finally finished Splinter CELL DA, short and sweet game btwy.

Regarding PC games there's a post at Keen and Graev and at Anyway Games talking about upcoming changes in the MMORPG genre.
I think we need changes or at least more of a variety in the MMORPG table. I'm playing console games right now I had to take a break from MMORPGs just waiting for the right moment to hop back on the role playing wagon. I might give Tabula Rasa a try though despite the reviews and even Mythos.

When I deploy this January and the circumstances permit I might bring my xbox/laptop and get an RPG game that will occupy me during my free time for a good couple of months. Mass Effect anyone?

MMORPGs and Console game

Hmm.... I've been looking at these 2 games (COD4 and lego star wars) for quite awhile now and I want to get both of them but I won't(120 bucks!). I'm just thinking right now which one to rent first.

I took a break from MMORPGs after 2 years and got back on the console madness a month ago. Maybe I'll get back when friends starts playing again who knows or when a new shiny game comes out.

One thing I miss about MMORPGs is the social factor. I play with RL friends via xboxlive but other than that I usually go solo. I miss exploring, meeting people and making some good friends in the process, doing quest as a group, and sometimes just sit back and chat with guildies. I guess maybe thats why I stop playing, lots of friends quit online it isn't just the same anymore, andI don't think I had to the energy to invest my time again to find a guild and star over.

I do like my xbox360 though if only I can get more RL friends or get some of my WoW/LOTRo/Guild Wars to rock out with me in Guitar Hero 3 or just go wild and get on a Warthog and mow down some people.

Another WTF?! moment

I am out of words to describe how infuriating my situation is right now. 2 weeks ago I had a “tentative” approval on my retraining on being a linguist; it means I have been selected for retraining and just waiting for a class date. So there I was feeling good, just happy to be alive. Then after 2 weeks I look up the status online and it says they don’t have any info on it. WTH?! I said to myself this either could be a really good thing or a really bad one. So I called AFPC and after 30 min of being on hold I was told that they have cancelled my retraining and that the other jobs that I have put in has also been disapproved for the reasons of being out of Quotas or no class date available, I wanted to reached thru the other end of the phone and start choking him.

I know what the word tentative means but 99% of the time that when you do get selected you just wait for a class date anywhere from 2 weeks to 6 months. The other jobs that I put in for has also been denied and they also said that I couldn’t apply for retraining unless I lose my slot for my current job. On top of that this is the last month for my retraining. Wow 3 bad luck streaks in a row. Could it get any worse? I wanna stab somebody in the face with a pen right now but it will only end up getting my ass whop most likely.

Rant off/

It's Friday!

And no civilians on sight >_> just me and my military coworker in the office right now.

Well one more week and it's going to be my wife's appointment at the Consulate in Manila. Then another week she gets her Visa. What that means is I have to start cleaning up my apartment and make it at least fit for human habitation. I gotta get some furnitures too! REELP!

Game wise I'm currently playing Splinter Cell DA and GH2; switching games every often. I played the Guitar, Base Guitar, and the Piano (I sucked at drums) while I was in High School for a church band so rockin out at the same time playing a game is an instant A+ game for me. But I wanna finish splinter cell, brings me back during my early psone and ps2 days with the Metal Gear Series and the first splinter cell game.

Hopefully I can push myself to do something productive this weekend.
