Morning.
Not a late start, just late getting online today!
Need more sleep though, eldest woke me up 3 times last night.
If you enjoy sleep, don't have kids!

You play on the 360 HM? There must be a way that Hackers/modders can be 'dumped' on the 360 servers....83 kills and 3 deaths would usually give the game away:¬)
Why not try the TAR with iron sights for an alternative 'challenge'.
Was invited to play the MOH beta online recently and apart from control issues, it was looking good....have just received this for MOH (PC):
Linkin Park in-game music
a good video :¬)

Just saying, it's like a year and a half of death, seems pretty pointless having a forum that isn't used. It should either be brought back to life or deleted.
That's because you missed the heyday.
All the time I've been here, the creative writing forum has been dead.

Always interested in stories and writing, including opinions on them. Good to remember the days when we all produced those great little stories too, I must have had far more time on my hands back then! (some of it was while I was still doing shifts in the office and didn't leave till 11pm, so that explains part of it).

I was originally looking for the old stories written for The Well subject. I liked my take on the title (biased? Me? Nonsense!) and the one that FFF wrote for it has always stuck with me but other 'snippets' sometimes surface so it ended up with a good look around. Even re-discovered that you won the first GAD awared for one of the stories in the comp - belated congrats :D
Found out I'd made it into a hall of fame which made me feel all warm and fuzzy but I missed it originally as I'd just finished the degree and after the online communities module I just didn't visit forums for a while.
I can cope without the comp being brought back. There's a lot of material in there that is new to me now anyway. Some of my stories I re-read made me wince and not miss the fact I'd not attempted to write anything in probably 4 years ><
Wouldn't mind finding some really old stories I wrote pre-SSC. New computer at home, old works computer has been wiped, so I've no copies of them. Now THEY would make me cringe but it'd be nice if I found the again.
Oh and the one that got Black Glove his first GAD - The Pusher - I even remember the name of that story.

I'm interested to know what you were looking for now!
Shame we can't really start anything like that again, but there just aren't the people who love writing enough on the forum these days or, for those of us that do, the time.

If I found Eastenders showing on my TV I'd think it was broken and send it off for repair!
Morning all.
My plan today is to get through work and go home!
I'm hoping to get a little bit of gaming in tonight after finally moving the PS3 and all my games up to the study. Now the PS3 and 360 are on my 32" Sony upstairs so wife is free to watch Eastenders while I play or watch Blu-rays.
