Dude, it is August 2nd! How things have changed this summer.
So, the Summer months have wound down but they were great. Headed out to California, endured quite a bit of drama and played the hell out of some games.
The Recap
Looking back on it all that was such a kick ass time. Walking around Santa Monica, taking in the atmosphere and enjoying conversation and some good fun with fellow gamers. Each from a different walk of life, but still awesome in many ways. Made a lot of good friends on that trip, some of whom will be for the long run. The only adverse effects of that trip was the issue of coming back to my small city and realizing how much different it is. Oh well, this place is my home and in the end I will always return.
Gaming went good this summer. Had a lot of good games on Modern Warfare 2 and definitely rocked the house in Halo Wars, but I managed to play a few “new” games. Limbo, what a damn amazing game. Short as hell, but every puzzle was fun. Ok, maybe I threw my controller at one point, sorry chica, but I still managed to get through it with a bit of help from Olin. Played the hell out of Lego Harry Potter, yes I know, and got some good achievements out of it. Now I am finishing up Alan Wake which seriously creeps me out. Not scares, but definitely creeps me out. That will be the last game I gamefly this summer and I will be canceling the service. I need to focus on school and getting back into my rhythm. No more 1pm-4am, I need to get to 8am-12am and get there fast.
Things were great, and this fall will be ten times better.
So over the past year or so of moderating I have seen some crazy posts. I personally love them. They making moderating worth while. I am thinking about compiling a bunch of these into a weekly blog post. I guess I would call it “The Flames.” That will work for now. I’ll come up with something witty a bit later.
Moderating the COD:HQ isn’t bad. This is something I have wanted to touch on so my followers know what it is like. It is pretty easy but it does lack some of the features that I have grown very much accustomed to at Infinity Ward, mainly the Admin Control Panel, but I do fairly well. I love the dark theme to it. It delivers a sense of nostalgia from the previous IW site. Not to mention it is pretty awesome to watch Vahn waltz in and tell people how the game really works or how their perception is totally false. The HQ has a really great feeling to it and the community rocks. If you haven’t yet you should sign up there and message me if you need help.

Plans for the weekend:
This will do for now. Small post is small.
