My husband and I started the year off right at a good 0l’ fashioned LAN party. We primarily played our old favorite LAN game CoD4 (*or Call of Duty 4 for you non-gamers*), but mixed in some Warhammer Soulstorm and Battlefront 2. Of course, I think it would have been awesome if we could have played Modern Warfare 2. Sadly, the makers decided NOT to have that as an option for PC gamers! And something that I think is SADDER is that they won’t let a Xbox Live player have a guest Live account to play MW2 on the Xbox with. This means that the only way for me to play online with my husband is for us to have a second Xbox in the apartment. Luckily, we DO own a second one, but it is currently at my parents house. It is there because I stay with them part time while I’m finishing up my degree and their house is much closer to campus than our apartment (*try 1.75 hours closer*). The only solution would be to ALWAYS tote my Xbox around which would be a pain in the patootie. Anywho…
The LAN party was a great way to catch up with people and not worry about anything. I’m just waiting for the next semester to start so it wasn’t like I had homework or a job to worry about. My husband and I have had a rather stressful 2009. In my opinion, pretty much the only highlight of last year was our wedding! So we needed something like this. But, you can’t get a gaggle of people together without there being drama…so naturally there was some. Figures!
All in all I am greatly looking forward to this year. It should be a little less stressful and this time next year I should have a job and Ben and I should be getting more settled. Basically, I look forward to this year because I have to get through it in order to have TRULY good years soon.
SO…everyone have a blessed New Year and keep on gaming!
