A Gamer Lacking

For as long as I have been playing games (yes all the way back to Atari) I have loved the Flight Genre.  More so the Sims than the Arcades, but they each have their benefits and their drawbacks.  I remember buying Microsoft Flight Simulator back on DOS 5.0 and I sat there and flew that little Cessna for days and days.  Then I found the Jane's series of fighter pilot sims, again I sat and played for days and days.

All this stems from my love of flying, I always wanted to be a pilot, still do, and when I have a more stable life I will get my license.  My Gamertag/Nickname/Handle of "Shadow" came from playing Fighter Pilot games over LAN, and 14.4 modem, I was apparently my target's shadow, it stuck.

Fast forward to modern times and the modern generation of consoles.  Since the 360 is my primary platform let me list the flight games I currently own for it.

H.A.W.X.
Over G Fighters
Ace Combat 6 (Bought the big kit with the Flight Stick on this one)


I have owned Blazing Angels, and I think, Blazing Angels 2

The reason I still own the games above is simply because they are Good, Over G is the closest to a modern sim, HAWX is a great very arcadey game, and Ace Combat sits somewhere in between the 2.

All of these titles are good, but where is my GREAT title?  I see the new Ace Combat previews, and I see the next HAWX previews, but I wont hold my breath.

My biggest complaint with the current flight games, it has to be that no one plays these online...I would love to be up in the skies dogfighting again!

That is it for now.  Thank you for reading!

Glow Ball!

Don't know if anyone reads this but...

Its 1:14am and I just got home from my first time playing glow ball.

Its Golf at night with Glowsticks on the pins, in the cup, and in the ball.

Its hard as hell to even hit the ball strait but it is soooooo much fun

Special thanks to Bkingx and Jkeyes0 and some friends from work for making it a great evening!

AND I got to experience a new drink I hadn't tried, Captain and Coke, I don't know why I had never tried it before but its one of the best mixed drinks I have ever had.

Glowball gets a \nn/ from me, and so does captain and coke.

Today is Mothers day and I wanted to say to all you moms and grandmoms out there that includes moms of Humans and Pets, Happy Mothers Day, I appreciate you!

Everyone have a great rest of the weekend. Ill post some VLOG stuff soon!
