I Can't WAIT To Take Time Off From DU! (who wants to online GAME?)

[matcom]

PLEASE don't take this the wrong way but starting November 3rd, or 10th or SOMETHING, I am going to HAVE to take a break. It has been a LONG 4 years and i'm gonna need a month off or so (for my mental health)

anyhoo........

if there are others out there like me, and you want to play games, should we make plans now????

is there a group of US who would be interested in buying a GREAT online game and be willing to play?

War/Strategy/Fantasy I don't care. but we could meet nightly or weekly and play something OTHER than politics for a couple hours?

I have never experienced online gaming and this will be the PERFECT time for me to do it.

anyone else in?????

i HAVE to do this regardless of the outcome so only the serious need apply.

thanks.

1. How much?

Sounds cool...but I'm kinda broke....

If it's not too much...then I would be very interested!

[JohnKleeb]

2. hey how about we start a DU clan or squad for MOH, COD, or BF1942

heh that would be fun. You'll enjoy it honestly, I like WWII FPS's myself honestly.

[CrownPrinceBandar]

8. Hell yes!............................n/t

BF1942 is my vote.

[democracyindanger]

9. I'd be in for COD nt

[JohnKleeb]

12. any of those would be fine with me

In all games, I am just plain ole
Cpt John Kleeb.

11. more info???

told you. have NO experience with online gaming.

what is it.

what do i need to buy

can i practice before hand?

etc.....??????????????

[JohnKleeb]

14. yeah you can practice

you just need to buy the games and install them, and get the latest game patches which I can find for you. I'll give you my brief synapse of which each game is about ok.

Basically all you gotta do is pay for these games Mat, and then download the latest patches, which I can find for you easily.

15. HELL yes!... Im in for MOHAA/S/B and COD...

lets all put DU in brackets in our handles.

I go by "H-Bomb, Ph.D." and am usually on a rifle only server.

[JohnKleeb]

16. When I get my sound and CD-DVD rom drive I'd love to do that

I am generally Cpt John Kleeb and I usually have a rifle or submachine gun.

3. Battlefield Vietnam

kickass game. You can pretend to be *, and desert, but you'll die within seconds.

[JohnKleeb]

4. I just bought that one

I have to install it though, and my CD-DVD rom drive isnt working :(. You get killed for deserting in that too? Ive piloted away from battlezones in BF42 and been killed, and if youre the Russians in Call of Duty and you retreat, you get shot at.

[CrownPrinceBandar]

7. I wanna pick that up this weekend....................

I'd be up for some DU BF1942 or Vietnam. Lemme know.

[JohnKleeb]

10. I'd love to but my CD-DVD rom isnt working

and I just lost one of my BF Vietnam disks :(.

[CrownPrinceBandar]

17. Suckass.........

Do you have the regular 1942? I think it would be the easiest to get a game going on. We'd just have to find a good pinging server on Gamespy or such.

[JohnKleeb]

19. Yeah I do, all the way up until Secret Weapons of WWII

I am not a good pilot but I am a dependable rear gunner. I cant believe I lost my third disk :argh:, and the folks say I have to pay for the new one if I cant find it, eh its no big deal but still :(.

[CrownPrinceBandar]

21. I have 'em all too....................

I am a mediocre pilot at best. I find a trackball mouse makes flying SO much easier than the just the keys or traditional mouse. If you get some extra $$, I suggest trying one out.

[JohnKleeb]

22. I really wanted to learn but its ok

I am a decent shot, I like to be medic or assault preferably in BF.

[HawkerHurricane]

5. City of Heroes

Since all Democrats are Heroes, or want to be, I'd think it'd be natural.

[Bunny]

6. Count me in. I'm always up for a rollicking game of Go Fish! n/t

[KG]

13. i'm flying WWII fighters in 'Fighter Ace'

could use a good wingman or 2

you just open an account and download the game.

takes a while to get good at tho...

[Endangered Specie]

18. When MOHPA comes out, we should have a little DU gettogether.

How about starting a DU clan? where the only requirement is you being a DU member?

[JohnKleeb]

20. oh hell yes!

that would be so much fun.

[Endangered Specie]

24. It be cool to get about a half dozen or more so DUers

Do you have any favorite servers? or do you just roam around?

[JohnKleeb]

25. I am a roamer

Ive never had own server, I just go places, I tried out a squad one time, and it never really panned out, I was a Sgt though in these Canadian dudes squad. It was kinda hard to recruit because they were young and even younger than I was at the time, I was like hmm 15.

[JohnKleeb]

23. this is a great idea

Mat, check in to my thread, a squad or a clan FYI is a group of players who play in these games together always, not just you playing with some random people, its a lot of fun.

26. Starting Tuesday I am taking a break

and I said it here. So I hope I keep to it.

I have to take a break, too. I am waiting until Tuesday because I want to see if the gloves are off with KErry and Mondays tend to be big news days. But after that? A nice long-ish break.
