  Almost...but not quite.

  Well recently I was trying to pay off a credit card bill and had the money ready to go in my bank account so they could take it out. Well it was supposed to have been taken out on thursday...well it never was. So i decided to see if they would take it out friday....nothing. Well now I'm thinking that they might have screwed something up and forgot about me or something so my mind started to wonder araound and I got to thinking about all the games and old systems I could be buying with that money. Unfortunatley, with the help of some friends and my gut instinct, such as it is, I decided to leave it in there untill after the weekend to see if they would take it. Meanwhile I'm conjuring up all these great scenarios for me that involved spending that money and how. I was thinking of a the fun stuff i could be doing with it. Well, The weekend ended (which felt like an eternity), and I looked at my account this morning at 8:00 and sure enough it was gone...all 300 of it. Sad really because I alowed myself to get all excited about nothing really. Oh, well. Back to being a broke gamer.

  Women of gaming

  AS time goes by and the once underground world of gaming comes into the mainstream, girls are starting to play more and more games. Most of the time you can't even spot these rare breed of women. Most male gamers out there have this sterotipical image of what girl gamers look like: short, rounded (curvy), unwashed hair...you know, that sounds like some male gamers i know as well lol. To be fair I really haven't seen a girl gamer that was a complete knockout. I'm in no way a "Brad pitt", and to be quite honest I like my women to be a little on the meatier side! I'm not on this ranting blog to make fun of girl gamers in any way, in fact, I encourage more girls to pick up a controller and start having fun. Don't be afraid of the multitude of buttons and just have fun. It'll come to you in no time...remember us guys had to learn the button scheme as well.

  I've also noticed a more growing trend with what seems to me and some other gamers as the mythical girl gamer. You know the ones I'm talking about. Super sexy with straight long hair and great skin complection. The ones that always seem to be wearing a low cut u or v-neck shirt. I claim these women to be mythical gamers because it's rather hard to beleive they are hardcore about gaming as most of us guy gamers out there. I might be sounding like an ass right now and for that I'm sorry, but when you watch these women talk about games in general it all seems staged to me. Granted I know a couple out there on the internet and G4 that look like this and are complete geeks like the rest of us. I'm not sure if it's the fact that I grew up thinking girls just don't want to game that makes me feel this way. My past girlfriends and even my wife have always viewed our passion as childish and a stupid waste of time. Girls want to do more "meaningful" things such as walk ina park or go out to dinner. Hey I'm all about that **** as well....well not parks (i am a gamer after all, sun kills us).

  I'm not sure where I'm going with this anymore but I want to let the girl gamers out there that I support you all the way and if you like to let me know how you feel about this subject just let me know. I'm sure one of you have kicked my ass in halo or on my pc through steam or such.

  Man I'm the dumbest gamer ever.

  I recently did an evaluation of my gaming life and realized I'm so f'n stupid for the stuff I've done in the past years. Trading in games has always been a means of getting that new game or games when funds aren't quite there. I mean I been doing this for years. I've traded in whole systems in attempt to get that extra dollar so i can play the hottest new thing. This was the biggest mistake in the history of gaming. I fell for the in store promotions and what-not to get an extra 20%. I'm looking now at my gaming life and see nothing there as far as games are concerned...I TRADED EVERYTHING IN! Granted the going through like 8 xbox360s is a good cause to get rid of the machine untill they come out with one that ACTUALLY works, but I got rid of classics like the SNES and the regular NES. I still have my Sega Genesis and Saturn. I'm ready to be back into collecting. Trying to fight the urge to get rid of something i might want later to get extra cash is gonna be tough but it must be done in order to have a kick ass game collection like Handsome Tom from The Game Heroes.com.
